Gyu-Kaku fonctionne comme un concept de barbecue japonais interactif où les convives grillent des coupes de viande premium directement à leur table. Le menu met en avant une variété de protéines marinées, incluant la bavette Harami et la langue de bœuf, complétées par une sélection de légumes frais et des entrées traditionnelles. Chaque table dispose d un système de ventilation intégré conçu pour maintenir la qualité de l air pendant le processus de cuisson. Les clients personnalisent leur repas en choisissant diverses sauces et accompagnements tels que la soupe miso, les gyozas et le riz blanc vapeur. L établissement se concentre sur l aspect convivial de la cuisson sur table, fournissant des ingrédients crus préparés pour une saisie immédiate. Les sélections de bœuf suivent des techniques de marinade précises pour améliorer la tendreté et les profils de saveurs avant d arriver à table.
Gyu-Kaku propose une expérience culinaire interactive et engageante qui reçoit régulièrement des éloges pour la haute qualité de ses viandes, la fraîcheur de ses ingrédients et la saveur de ses marinades. Les clients apprécient particulièrement le concept ludique de griller soi-même ses aliments à table, ce qui en fait un choix prisé pour les anniversaires, les sorties de groupe et les rendez-vous galants. Bien que l'ambiance soit décrite comme animée et festive, certains visiteurs notent qu'elle peut devenir assez bruyante aux heures de pointe. Le personnel est largement reconnu pour sa gentillesse, son attention et ses conseils précieux, notamment pour ceux qui découvrent le barbecue japonais. Si certains clients trouvent les prix un peu élevés et font parfois face à un service lent lors des périodes d'affluence, la majorité des convives estiment que la qualité de la nourriture, les formules généreuses du midi et le service chaleureux justifient amplement la visite.
Took my family there for early Easter dinner tonight to have some Japanese BBQ. This is not the first time going but the first time reviewing it.
As usual it is a very nice place to have dinner on a romantic date, a nice family dinner or just to have a get together with friends to eat. There is some noise with music coming from the ceiling & the many people eating there. The staff & service is top level. Very polite, helpful & making sure we are doing well & if there is something they can get for us.
The food there is always amazing. We ordered some soup(egg soup), had spicy shrimp, spicy roast beef & dumplings. My personal favorite is the shrimp. Then the meat. Angus beef, filet mignon, kalbi & marinated beef along with mushroom medley. The meat is always fresh. Never had any issues with the meat at all. I highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion.
This place is a nice family & friends restaurant. I have been here couple of times & I love it. It gets busy & when I was ordering the waiters were occupied.

We were attended by Liberty & honestly i think that's the sweetest & most authentic waitress i ever got, she made our experience great (also the food was fantastic like wow yummy would go again for sure) 10/10 restaurant with 10/10 staff truly just great
Gyu-Kaku has always been one of my go-to BBQ spots in San Francisco-especially for their unlimited BBQ options. It's a place I've visited countless times with family, & I've always loved the experience. So when I found out they had a location in Montreal, I was genuinely excited to try it & even brought along a friend who had never been before. I really wanted him to experience how good it can be.
Unfortunately, from the very beginning, the experience felt completely different. The service was noticeably lacking-it took multiple attempts just to get the staff's attention for basic things, which already set the tone for the evening.
I went ahead & ordered my usual favorite items, but the portions here seemed smaller or different compared to what I'm used to in San Francisco. I understand there could be differences in sourcing or pricing, so I was willing to give that the benefit of the doubt. However, what was harder to overlook was the quality of certain cuts-especially the yaki shabu beef. It was so thin & inconsistent that it felt almost like minced meat, & a lot of it kept falling through the grill, making it frustrating to cook & enjoy.
On top of that, the grill itself wasn't functioning properly. The heat distribution was uneven-some parts would burn the meat instantly while others barely cooked it, leaving pieces raw. For a place centered around BBQ, this really impacted the overall experience.
It honestly felt like a completely different restaurant compared to the San Francisco locations I'm used to, which was disappointing-especially since I had hyped it up to my friend.
If I had to highlight one positive, it would be the lava cake. It was actually better than the one I've had in San Francisco-rich, warm, & perfectly done. But realistically, you don't go to a BBQ restaurant just for dessert.
Overall, I'm quite disappointed to say that this visit didn't live up to my expectations, & it's not a spot I'd return to in Montreal the way I do back in San Francisco.
Hey owner, why are you asking for a 18% minimum tip? Don't be greedy like that, you are ruining your employees good work by having our dinning experiences end with you breaking the law!
My first time at a Japanese BBQ place. Nice place to share a meal with friends & enjoy the atmosphere. Since there were 4 of use we ordered a dinner for 4. Big mistake. There was way to much food. Even though all the items we had were great, we had to sacrifice some so we could have some green ice-cream for dessert. Oh well.
Nous avons mangé ce soir à Gyu Kaku, c'était un moment très agréable & nous avons dégusté plusieurs viandes au Barbecue délicieuse !!
Le service était très agréable & très qualitatif, un merci spécial à Alden :) on reviendra !
