Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ

The service was very good. Attentive, fast, polite, and very knowledgeable. They would recommend cooking times for each item at they arrived which was nice. Grill changes were very fast compared to my regular experiences at other places. Their grill tech seemed better as the smoke redirecting seemed to work quite well. If you like beef, it seems like you can't really go wrong with any of the options as they are all quite good. While a bit more pricey, the one Kobe style option was my favorite. I also quite liked the fried chicken and salmon. The one item that I tried which I can't recommend was the pork belly.

Excellent quality cuts of meat. Fresh and red. Surprisingly the noodles and rice is delicious as well. They have AYCE Monday to Thursdays, rest of the time is a la carte The service is attentive and friendly. Constantly providing information and table service even when not asked. A++

Prices just gone up since our last visit 3 weeks ago. Food selection and quality is great. Need more staff to serve customers. Waited over 5 minutes at the reception area before anyone came out. At any rate, it is still a worthy visit.

Great customer service and the place is soooo clean. Our server (I'm sorry I forgot your name), was super nice and accommodating. She replaced the grill for us when we needed it and gave us a replacement parking pass when we screwed up the parking exit thing. The food was also really good. We had the happy hour meal for 2 for 75 dollars and it was soooo worth it. I was super full after.

We initially came to Gyukaku at this location because of their happy hour promotion, which is advertised as until 6 pm but the staff refused to honor it as it is really 5 pm... What's worse is they they are well aware of this typo and they continue to swindle guests... So if you enjoy shady business practices and being ripped off then you know, then this might be your jam. But hey, it's pandemic times - scamming a few bucks from your customers might be how some desperate businesses get by?‍♂️. #GetDepressed #NotHappy #GoingInSaltyà Putting shady business tactics aside, I will say the waitress serving us did a great job going through the menu with us, making sure our tea is filled regularly and changing our grill once in a while. Overall, gold star on that front! We found the meats to be quite solid when it comes to quality and flavour. The highlight for us was the kalbi miso premium cut. Portions are not large and quite pricey for the provided volumes. With that said, you're not coming to Gyukaku if you're looking for a cheap bite or budget cuts. When compared to other Japanese grillhouses, you're going to get more value for your buck (not to mention more transparency when it comes to running a business) at the same price point but keeping in mind you probably won't equal quality cuts.

What a fun experience! This was our first visit to Gyu-Kaku and our server walked us through the menu and our various options and explained to us how to work the grill and how long each item should be cooked. We opted for the premium meat lovers option and it was so good! Lots of various cuts of beef, a great chicken karage app and rice was flavourful too. The salad as well as mushrooms and broccoli were nice to bring some veggies into the meal. Everything was flavourful and we had a lot left over. We will be going back again for sure. It was nice to see that they clean the grills thoroughly between seatings and also validate your parking if you park in the paid lot :)

Great service, fantastic dining experience, delicious food! Could use some dusting. We were hungry and wanted to try something new on a rainy Saturday afternoon. After some online research to see what's out there near us that we haven't yet tried, we came across Gyu-Kaku only a 5 min drive away. We made a reservation online, and off we went. At this location, if you prefer to park your car in the on-site indoor parking lot, make sure you ask your wait staff for a parking voucher before you leave. They are very attractive though, and will likely ask you themselves as you settle your bill. First impressions as we walked in, was that it's on the dirty side. From afar you will notice dust all over higher surfaces, benches, and ledges. The floors, around the baseboards are caked with grime throughout. The clear acrylic dividers between booths are full of stains and fingerprints, and the decorative light fixtures above the grill tables are caked with dust. Some closer attention to the cleaning practices would go a long way toward a 5-star review. All this being said, the service, from every single staff member, was OUTSTANDING. They are extremely attentive and polite. I would go as far as saying that it's up there with the best service we've received in a long time in Toronto. The happy-hour deals a re fantastic, and the meats are all fresh and absolutely delicious. We ordered the Gyu-Happy hour special for $75, which included some starters, three cuts of beef, an order of pork and one of chicken. Everything was outstandingly delicious. We left more than satisfied, and with full bellies that needed to be walked off. We will definitely return and bring our friends and family along. However we do wish some more effort is made in order to keep the place looking clean so that they may receive 5-star reviews in the future since they are very deserving.

Excellent service and delicious food! When the meat is served, they tell you how long to cook each side for, but who really remembers that. The only suggestion I would provide to the restaurant is to have a cook time cheat sheet on each table, that would be super helpful.
