Guest Experiences

We had lunch at Gyu-Kaku and decided to try their Create Your Own Lunch Gyu-Combo. We didn't make reservations but only had to wait 10 minutes to seated. They offer a 2-item combo for $15.95 or a 3-item combo for $19.95 per person. We chose two of the 3-item combos. For our selections, we ordered the Angus Beef Rib with Sweet Soy Tare and another with the Spicy Jalapeño Miso marinade, Yaki-Shabu Beef in both Miso and Spicy Jalapeño Miso, as well as the Toro Beef with Sweet Soy Tare and the Umakara Yaki Beef. Each combo also comes with rice, miso soup, and salad. One thing I like about Gyu-Kaku is the grill setup. It does a great job of keeping the smoke contained, so you don't leave smelling like BBQ. We did notice that one side of the grill cooked noticeably faster than the other, which was a little inconvenient when trying to cook everything evenly. The meats were tasty and well-marinated. The server warned us that the Spicy Jalapeño Miso would be really spicy, and they were right. It definitely had a kick, but it was a flavorful spice that I think anyone who enjoys spicy food would appreciate. Overall, this is a great lunch deal for the price. You get a good variety of meats, a complete meal with sides, and the fun of grilling everything yourself.

‼This Japanese bbq place is great, and well worth coming back to⏪⏪ Great servers, huge menu choices, fair prices. We had miso soup, salad, veggies, mixed meats-Wagu beef, pork, chicken, lamb, beef steak, onions, condiments-wonderful It is a huge place- and clean. Moderate noise and I would recommend reservations as it is popular. The prices are fair⬅‼‼You would not likely be disappointed.

Excellent food! Lots of choices, very fresh and nicely displayed. The fried chicken was delicious. And the garlic shrimp were a hit. Service was wonderful as well. Definitely will return!

We tried the all-you-can-eat menu and found it to be great value for money. At first, we had a bit of a hard time because the process wasn’t explained very clearly, but once we figured it out, we were pleasantly surprised by the variety and quality of food included. The meats were delicious, and being able to order multiple rounds made the experience well worth the price. The only small thing I noticed was that the rice portions were quite small, although I understand that’s probably because you can always order more. Overall, we had a great experience and left feeling satisfied. If you’re looking for good value and enjoy Japanese BBQ, this is definitely worth a visit!

We came during the last few days of Dine Out 2026, and opted for the cheaper $45 per person menu. There was also a $130 for 2 people option where you notably would get a wagyu ribeye with wafu ponzu marinade. They were also offering various Valentine’s Day combos already. Miso soup had a rich umami taste, and contained plenty of tofu chunks/seaweed. The Spicy Tuna Volcano had a crispy rice exterior with grinded tuna bits on top. Wasn't a big fan of this. Rice immediately on the outside was crispy, but the rice grains immediately underneath the outermost layer were still soft/slightly gooey which threw me off. Didn’t really like the texture of the tuna on top either. Fried Cheese Wontons & Pork Gyozas were pretty standard. Takoyaki were done well. The zucchini were naturally sweet, and we also fancied the sauce they spread on top. On the other hand, the corn with butter was way too salty/greasy. Wished we just got 2 zucchini instead. The Vancouver Set: (5/5) Toro Beef (Garlic) - Our favourite cut! Loved the marinade, cut thinly, and was very tender after grilling. (4/5) Harami Skirt Steak (Shio) - Meat had really good marbling, but maybe because they were served a bit on the thicker side, it was harder to chew through than the toro beef. (3/5) Pork Belly (Garlic) - OK, but definitely had better-flavoured pork belly before. The Richmond Set: (3/5) Premium Sirloin (Shio) - Quite surprised that there was barely any flavour on the pieces we had. Had to dip it in a sweet sauce that was already provided on the table to supplement the lack of taste. (3.5/5) Pork Shoulder (Garlic) - Not very memorable. (4/5) Yaki-Shabu Beef (Miso) - Texture was similar to the toro beef, but a little less fatty. Liked this too! They ran out of vanilla/green tea ice cream, and only had bubble gum/lychee flavour. We chose lychee. Ice cream was icy and artificially sweet. Interesting to find little bits of lychee jelly chunks in it though. Servers and managers were all very friendly, patient, and helpful. On a busy Saturday, our wait was around 15 min even with a reservation. Overall, dining at Gyu-kaku was a good experience, and would come back again to try their other combos/lunch deals.

This place feels more like a Korean BBQ restaurant. The meat is well-marinated and tastes great, but the portions are a bit small. The appetizer section leans more toward Japanese cuisine. The air circulation was good, no BBQ smell left on clothing.

Finally visited Gyu-Kaku in Richmond in early June 2026. While they have an AYCE option, we decided on the Lunch Combo which is $19.95 for 3 meat options and comes with rice, miso soup, and salad. We added Garlic Spinach (+$2) and Mushrooms (+$2) as well as upgraded to the Beef Sukiyaki Fried Rice (+$5). The veggies come sealed in tin foil for grilling and don't sleep on the beef sukiyaki fried rice... that's really good. For our meats, we got tge Toro Beef in Sweet Soy, Umakara Pork, Garlic Shoyu Chicken Thigh, Angus beef Rib in Sweet Soy, Umakara Ribeye, and Umakara Yaki Beef. The portion sizes aren't huge but they are good value for the price. Service seemed very slow - took forever to sit us down (they didn't seem very efficient in gathering menus and plates and napkins). The food also seemed to take a long while to come out (given that it was mostly raw). Aside from that, the food was good.
