Gyu-Kaku - Vancouver, BC | Nelson
Traditionally called Yakiniku, this Japanese barbecue spot is known for their delicious, fresh, high-quality meats!
Enjoy an ice cold beer as you grill your own meat. Happy Hours offer the best deals on food and drinks, so be sure to wind down and get the night started right with us.
As we do get very busy during peak hours and we do require reservations for maximum 2 hours dining time only. We are sorry for the inconveniences and we thank you for your cooperation.
For all reservations we do hold a 15 minute grace period for the reserved table, if the party is late after the 15min, the reservation will be automatically cancelled.
Again, we thank you for booking your reservation with Gyu-Kaku and we look forward in seeing you soon!
Sincerely,

Menu
very good to go on a Monday
Happy hour price is good.
Love this place. Can't beat the happy hour deal
I have reservation, but the lady who show ppl to the table is just ignored me. My friends have to ask her couple times to get the table. People who came later than me got table before me, even I have a reservation
fun place. more spacious than the Broadway location.
Come here quite a bit and service is always friendly and very good as well as the food. Not a fancy place at all - nice and casual, and remember you are going home smelling like bbq.
Fantastic and lovely! Definitely a great chain!
The Sukiyaki bibimbap has been missing the delicious garlic sauce for a while that hurts the fabulous taste Sukiyaki used to have, please bring it back
Amazing! Simply amazing, I would definitely recommend this place to all of my friends. Thank you.
It’s was really good. The waiter forgot our appy which sucked but we got lots of food with was all really tasty.
We love Gyu-Kaku and always look forward to our next reservation.
Best Japanese BBQ restaurant ever! Be sure to book in advance, as there is always a huge queue.
Good value over all for the food provided but the service could be much better. Further more the electric cooktop is mediocre at best a gas powered one or a stronger electric one would be preferred.
It was a fun atmosphere and great food and service. I would go again
It was good time but waitress kept forgetting our items
Our server, Megumi, was extremely helpful, kind and very fun. She made the experience fun and had great recommendations!
Great food and service was excellent. Would definitely go back
Great DOV experience. Such great service and the value for the meal was amazing. Everything was delicious and so fun to cook even smores on the grill!
Awesome experience
Went to try the Dineout Set Menu. Great overall value, really tasty specialty sauces and marinades.
I love gyu
店員さんは優しかった！
Went for lunch as I wanted to share this amazing restaurant and my partner who was very impressed. Our food was delicious, service was great and we really enjoyed the fun of grilling at the table.
Service is so fast as well and BBQ is delicious and tasty.
Outstanding food and service. Would definitely visit again, and prepare for a huge queue when visiting without a reservation.
Great experience overall ... third time back and good variety
Our server, Sheva/Shewa, provides really good service. He is very attentive to our table. Thank you!
Always fun.
It was fantastic
Did not honour app points when no notification of expiring points was sent. Removed the cheese wontons from the menu which was the reason we went to Nelson location. Will not be coming back.
Mostly everything was good, but the bibimbap wasn’t disgustingly sweet
As always, Gyu-Kaku is an authentic slice of Japan in Canada. The food is always delicious, it's fun to grill your own meat, and you always leave full and happy!
The server was fantastic; although I forgot his name
We usually have great service when we come here but this time our server was not around a lot so service was not very good. We had to call other servers to help with our order and no one offered to charge the grill as was flaming up several times. Hopefully this is a one time bad experience.
We got the $44 meat lovers. It comes with soup, salad, shrimp, beef and pork along with mushrooms and sticky rice. We were so hungry we ate everything. It used to come with dessert but they’ve changed there menu a bit. Stil great as always. What we like is can walk to it from our timeshare. We highly recommend this restaurant.
The grill was too hot and burnt our food even though we changed grills several times.
Always my favorite place. Okonomiyaki is not on the menu, but it’s so great here! Be sure to make a reservation a few days before. Table is yours for 2 hours,....it’s plenty of time! Excellent!
Enjoyable birthday meal for my friend. We were able to get order some items off the happy hour. It's great there is both combo or a la carte options on that menu. Friendly staff. It was good to be reminded about the 2 hour limit and asked if we wanted to wait for the whole party to arrive or to be seated first.
Gyu-Kaku was without a doubt one of the best dining experiences we have had in Vancouver. The overall service was great, and our server Alfrey was particularly helpful with cooking instructions as well as giving us some recommendations - the bacon wrapped scallops and pork belly were two favourites for us. I would highly recommend dining here!
The broccoli never seemed to cook. Maybe if it was pre-steamed first....and it was finished off at the table.
For a table of 7, 1 grill is just not enough. It would be better to have 1 grill for every 4. Trying to cook stuff for 7 just was difficult. You had to only steam the veg and there was no room for anything else.
You have the tables for 8 ( split into 2 groups of 4)....if you could have the dividers as removable that would be much better for 8 people.
One more...please note on your menu what is or is not gluten free. The waiter had to keep asking. It would be better for guests to know, especially when items come out with sauce on them (like the crunchy garlic topping).
It was so tasty though.
Reserving was easy. Food was great and staff. Nothing to complain. 10/10
