Great quality of meat and fast service. They offer combos and a la carte options, which worked well for us since we didn't want to feel super stuffed. Happy hour deals and extra drinks with combos are appreciated as well. The short ribs especially were delicious! We'll come back for sure.

Food is very fresh and delicious. Meat has a very high quality and you can see it from the cut. The only downside is a service that is not very prompt. Also menu has not balanced in terms of variety . Like meat is only mean and no vegetables and/or chicken and no substitute. Otherwise it’s worth the effort and money.

Guy Kaku BBQ is our favorite place in downtown Toronto! Food is always so good and just the right taste! Takoyaki is our absolute favorite, best in the city. Service is also amazing every time we visit.

The best Japanese BBQ I’ve had when it comes to quality. Came here for my anniversary and got a bundle package that comes with pre selected meats and sides. Everything was REALLY good. My favourite side was the Gyu-Kaku Salad. If you want a super delicious and refreshing drink with your meal I can’t recommend the Melon Soda enough, I was tempted to get two. And of course all the meats were great. Oh and the smores at the end was a fun dessert to have. Highly recommend.

I had a great dining experience at Gyu-Kaku. The food came out fresh, well-seasoned, and fun to grill—perfect balance of flavor and quality ingredients. The sides and appetizers were also consistent, and everything arrived at the right temperature. Service was friendly, attentive, and quick without being intrusive. Staff explained the menu clearly and checked in at good intervals, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. The atmosphere is warm and lively, with a comfortable layout that still gives you space to enjoy your meal. It’s a great place for both casual dinners and small celebrations. Overall, a very satisfying visit—good food, great service, and a welcoming vibe. Would definitely come back.
