Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ

One of my favourite spots! All of their sauces and marinades (apart from the teriyaki marinade) are gluten free and their menu is very clearly labelled. I let them know I have celiac and they took good care of me. I ordered the prime kalbi short rib, premium sirloin, scallops, broccoli, and plain rice. Love this spot and highly recommend. Definitely always let them know about your allergies/celiac so they can avoid cross contamination.

This was AMAZING!!!! The staff was super knowledgeable about what was/wasn't gluten free. The options were vast, very few things were on the "do not eat" list. The sauces were good, and everything was clearly marked on the menu. The good was SO GOOD!!! For sure will have to go back!

I was really looking forward to trying this new restaurant out with my family, as I had heard great reviews on GF options. Unfortunately, the day after we ate there, I felt symptoms of cross-contamination. Normally I feel symptoms for a short time but this time around I did not feel well for a few days after eating there.

They have many GF options but I am thinking the shared grill was the issue. Be weary!

Was amazing!!! With 3 out of 6 at our table being celiac, they took care of us! Right off the bat asked us about any allergies, and every time food came to our table they let us know if it was gluten free or not. 10/10 would eat here again on our next trip to Edmonton.

NEW FAV RESTAURANT!!! Wowowow! Unbelievable amount of gluten free options and it was all beyond delicious. Items that are Gluten Free are naturally GF, lessening the chances of CC. Our favs were the spicy pork, hanger steak and scallion sauce! Prices were reasonable and portions were as expected. Will be returning!

Gyu-Kaku is my favourite restaurant. Almost all the menu options are gluten free. You buy your meats and veggies and cook them yourself on your table top BBQ, then dip them in GF sauces and enjoy over rice.

Amazingly tasty and my whole family enjoys it!

Great experience here. Must make reservation. The first question staff ask before taking orders is if you have an allergy. They are very knowledgeable of gluten allergy and items on menu will be marked . Usually I go to bbq spots and can only order meat plain, because majority of the sauces contain wheat. But this restaurant’s sauce and marinades are almost all gluten free. So it was nice to try different marinades instead of just salt and pepper. A side note- the grilling tables I saw and sat at could hold about 4 people, but had a relatively small grill in the center. It’s perfect for 2 people but anymore and you won’t be able to cook fast enough for everyone. Especially if you opted for the all you can eat, there’s a 90 minute time limit. Overall great staff, flavors and good quality meat. An AMAZING spot for gluten free people.

I was hesitant to do the all-you-can-eat option because there’s usually not enough GF stuff—I was happily proven wrong! Also, the other Gyu-Kaku locations have iffy reviews. I enjoyed my meal and did not get sick. They advertise gluten free sauces, which is a great contrast to the plain meats at any Korean bbq places around. My crew was happy to start with only gluten free items on the grill and save the non-gf stuff for when I was full or needed a break. We kept tongs separate and all was good. A couple appetizers are not gluten free, but I ate plenty. Bonus, the grilling area at your table is sunken (like a Solo Stove) so you don’t leave smelling as much like meat as you normally would. Our server was awesome, knowledgeable, and willing to find answers to questions if they weren’t obvious. The green tea ice cream was gluten free so obviously I had to get that too. Tasted better than i was expecting (Same vibes as lavender ice cream). Overall, would definitely recommend. Need a reservation though!
