| - Yakiniku (Japanese bbq) is one of my favourite Japanese food and I have been trying many different yakiniku in Japan, New York, Hong Kong. So when i heard Gyu Kaku was coming to Toronto i was so excited! However i was so disappointed after i went there. Firstly, there is no air conditioning in the restaurant!!! We need to wait for 45min sitting by the door, and it was 25*c outside, we were sweating and not feeling well in this hot weather, and even the staffs were sweating and face oil was all on their faces, i think this will give customers a not very good impression as i think not only restaurants have to be clean but also the staffs. This is an indoor bbq, it is unacceptable that there is no air conditioning. I felt so hot during the dinner! Second, the food also disappointed me, i dun think it is like a Japanese style bbq, but rather than a Chinese style All you can eat Korean bbq, the meat quality was very poor, very chewy and marinating by wrong seasoning, the veggie was not fresh, the tuna tataki that i ordered even had some blood in it. The only food that was delicious was the horumon (pork intestine). And i dunno why they use a Thai style spicy sauce as one of the sauces, which is not match with the Japanese style bbq. The rice they used was very bad quality and hard, which is not qualified. They shouldn't use the long rice that usually Chinese people eat. Besides they should use the Japanese short pearl rice instead. The Gyu Kaku in HK and Japan are way better than the one in Toronto. Maybe to someone who are new to yakiniku, it is okay, but to me, no way! With this kind of food quality and environment, I definitely won't go back.
