Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ

Overall, great atmosphere. Preferred Ordered a rice bowl with karaage, spicy cucumber and deep fried gyoza. I enjoyed the cucumber and the karaage was made well and very lightly fried. The gyoza and the rice bowl however were very mushroom forward. It's not a taste I was necessarily expecting from Japanese food. The lettuce they served in the rice bowl was also over dressed. The dressing tasted great, but could have done with far less. Admittedly you come here for the BBQ options so I'll be back to try that!

Amazing as always! The food was delicious and offered great deals especially their lunch menu. They were busy at the time but still had excellent customer service. SHOUT OUT TO KHOA FOR BEING THE BEST SERVER!!

This might be one of my favorite spots in all of Calgary. The food was awesome, the staff was obviously very busy, I wish they had public wifi as I visit Canada a lot and have service limitations. The food was amazing. I got the all you can eat and definitely left feeling full and happy.

Overall grab the beef! If dinner make sure to reserve. Lunch menu has a fair Price, Good quality meat, Amazing experience worth coming and again. Came with my girlfriend for the lunch menu and I found it a good portion! When we came in the servers treated us with respect and were very kind. Our server was really nice and answered our questions. The lunch comes with rice, salad and miso soup! I personally didn’t really like the salad, wanted something that would cut the richness of the beef much more. Wished that there were options for the salad but that’s just nitpicking lol. Still ate it all. The beef had such a deep beefy taste and amazing texture. It melts and coats your tongue. We ordered the garlic pork which had its specific garlic flavour which I enjoyed but in comparison to the beef I would only order beef. We ordered 3 bbq dishes each and really recommend paying extra for the Kalbi Short ribs. I also really enjoyed the beef rib, again melts in your mouth but since the cut is small yet thicker it was more enjoyable for me, it was like a soft gummy that explodes with beef and marbling in your mouth. Would definitely come again I really enjoyed all of their beef here. The pork tasted good and flavourful but wouldn’t order it again. Very filling and meats were of high quality. Aesthetic was nice, servers were great, food was awesome.

The food was great and service was wonderful. Highly recommend for any meat lover, but there's also a good selection of items that were vegetarian.

I went to Gyukaku a couple of weeks ago with my family and I believe it would be my 3rd or 4th time at Gyukaku. They continue to never disappoint with their BBQ experience. Just choosing one of their course meals good for a number of people is worth it because you get a set of meats to cook as well as other items for appetizers or to be partnered with the meats. You do not feel full right away because you still have to cook the meat which is really nice. We chose a limited/seasonal course they had good for 3-4 people which had kimchi, bulgogi fried rice, and noodles. It also came with a delicious fried oreo dessert!

Came here recently with my dinner to have dinner with a couple friends and had an amazing experience! The drinks were too notch and so was the food. We had to grill it ourselves but everyone had a wonderful time. I would definitely come here again and recommend this to everyone to at least try once!

This review is not intended to reflect negatively on any server other than Anne. They are all amazing, and Manager Amy’s attitude was exemplary, and she is professional. I want to thank them for their excellent service. However, the service provided by Anne significantly impacted my dining experience during the "All You Can Eat" option. I have visited this restaurant numerous times and have always enjoyed the regular menu items, as well as the quality of service. When the restaurant recently introduced the "All You Can Eat" option, my party decided to give it a try. Throughout my visits, I have always been polite and respectful to all servers, consistently saying “please” and “thank you.” Unfortunately, when we were seated by Anne, she did not acknowledge us with a smile, nor did she offer a warm greeting. We proceeded to place our first order, and when the grilled items became overcooked, I politely requested a grill change. Anne, who had just served the table next to ours with a smile, immediately turned away and did not wait for me to finish speaking. I understand that she may have been busy, so we waited an additional ten minutes before she returned. I requested the grill change again and began to place our second round order, but she left before I had finished. Throughout the entire meal, Anne did not check on our table or offer a smile. After another twenty minutes of waiting, we finally received the grill change. We continued to wait for our second round of food, but after over 20 minutes, nothing had arrived. It seemed she may have forgotten about our order. When she eventually approached, she seemed confused and asked if we wanted to order something else. We clarified that we were still waiting for our second round, and she went to check the system without any response. Additionally, we did not receive any water refills until we specifically requested them. While I acknowledge that the restaurant may have been busy, the overall lack of attentiveness and courtesy from Anne made the experience less enjoyable. Despite this, I continue to appreciate the efforts of the rest of the staff and will certainly return to enjoy the regular menu and the service of other servers.
