Great experience, good food and value. Just hope the server check up on us more so my husband can order drinks since he really likes the long island and drinks quite a few of those every time we were there

Visiting from Toronto and our kids brought us here as it is their favourite restaurant. Had a wonderful dinner. Not inexpensive but made for a very nice night out.

I've been here over 10 times and it's always been great. It's been a while since my last visit and it was extremely disappointing. The staff and everything else were fine, but everything we ordered meats they came out half brown. It looked like they were sitting out or old. I didn't say anything after the first batch but when I ordered premium sirloin and it looked like it was already cooked I asked for a new one. They gave me one that looked similar and the rest of the meats continued to be brown in colour even after. They should be nice and red it was actually quite gross and they should've made a note after the first time I sent it back and made sure it was fresh meat. Probably won't go back again. Very disappointed.

I normally don’t find myself irritated at service staff or even language barriers but after I called to figure out what was happening with my existing order they couldn’t understand hardly a word of English and kept thinking I was trying to make a new order. I tried so hard to find out if the food had been made already and if I could just pick it up myself. I ostensibly had food that was already made and ready to go but that our door dasher had failed to pick up. I found out from DoorDash shortly after that the restaurant confirmed to them that it was ready. It just felt like the person I had talked to had no desire to figure out what I was asking or calling about. If I could have talked to a manager I imagine that might have helped but I couldn’t even get that far.
I would add that this far from the first time I’ve ordered delivery or been in. Sometimes the communication isn’t the best but generally it’s been alright and the food is consistently good. I would still recommend going for dine in but maybe avoid ordering take out, especially through DoorDash…

Their lunch special is always a good bang for your buck and the food here is always mouthwateringly delicious. However, I’ve noticed the portion sizes shrink significantly compared to before. The umakara ribeye looked like someone stole half of it before serving (it’s the browner looking one in the photo). They seem to compensate by giving you a generous portion of rice though!

I had an amazing experience at Gyu-Kaku thanks to the incredible service from our server, Shandesh. He was kind, friendly, and professional throughout one of the best servers I’ve ever had! Even when we brought our own wine and needed to pay a corkage fee, he handled it with such grace and made us feel completely welcomed. The food was delicious as always, but the service truly elevated the entire evening. Manager David was also very kind and attentive, and it’s clear the team works well together to create a warm, enjoyable atmosphere. Shandesh’s serving skills and positive energy made this one of the best dining experiences I’ve had highly recommended! GYU-KAKU.

One of the Best Japanese BBQ Experiences in Vancouver 🔥🇯🇵
Gyu-Kaku never disappoints! The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with energy, great smells, and a vibe that makes you want to stay. The grill-your-own meat experience is super fun, and everything from the kalbi to the garlic noodles is next-level tasty.
Perfect for dates, small groups, or even solo foodies. The portions are generous, the staff is fast and friendly, and the sauces? Unreal. Definitely get the happy hour set if you want value.
Highly recommend for anyone craving a fun, flavorful night out!

Authentic Japanese BBQ. Everything was very good. Would definitely return frequently if we lived in the area.
slow service for drinks and paying was hard to get hold of any server ordered appetizers snd drinks at same time and drinks came after we were almost done

The beer machine was broken. It was my boyfriend's birthday. So he was a little upset we weren't told before the reservation.
