Holy Cow Japanese Steakhouse

Tried Holy Cow in Toronto and really enjoyed the experience. I had their beef steak, which was on promo, and it was amazing—juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. I also tried the karaage don, which came with golden fried chicken topped with a creamy, cheesy sauce—it was so satisfying! Their Japanese rice was cooked perfectly and paired well with the dish. The place was full and busy, but the service was still good. Staff were attentive and polite. Definitely worth checking out if you’re nearby and in the mood for a good meal.

The best halal Japanese steak house around the area. I seriously love their quick service, delicious and simple menu with multiple different options. Ordered 2 steaks and they came in within 10 minutes of ordering, cooked to perfection with proper taste of AAA Wagyu beef. Highly recommended for a decent dinner that you won’t regret!

The service is very good, waitress have good smile, very enthusiastic, she also works very smart and efficient. Ordered a 7oz tenderloin and the steak udon, both medium rare are cooked spot on. Although the tenderloin lived up to the expectation as it is a more expensive piece of meat. However, the steak udon is actually more flavorful because the steak has more charcoal flavor to it. The udon itself is chewy enough with a mild sauce with a hint of sweetness. What disappointed me is that the drink "Castle in the Sky" doesn't look like the picture at all. I can understand there could be slight variance between picture and actual. In Japan, the picture from the restaurant menu is very close representative to the actual dish that comes to the table. It is definitely an important oversight. I think the people next to us ordered the same drink had the same feeling.

We had a great experience dining at this restaurant. The place was very clean and well-kept, which gave a good first impression. I ordered the ribeye steak, cooked medium rare, and they got it just right — tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The staff, including both the waiters and the owner, were very friendly and welcoming. Their service really made the meal even more enjoyable. Overall, I’m really happy with my visit and I’ll definitely come back again. Highly recommended!

Got a table pretty quick on a weekend for dinner. The layout’s a bit disjointed inside in my opinion - There seems to be the main kitchen at the front, and the bar and some food prep still happens at another service area in the back of the restaurant. The dining room is split into a kind of main area in the centre of the restaurant then a smaller section towards the back near the bar. When we came in, there were staff in the bar area using some kind of very loud machinery I think to cut pieces of meat with bones. The noise level was as if they were actively under construction inside the dining room. Really shouldn’t be doing that, or should relocate that machine behind closed doors at least, etc. The service is very inattentive and the waitress also forgot to make our drinks when she took our order. I had to flag her down to make them for us. The seating area towards the back is at a bit of a disadvantage for service because they don’t take the initiative to check on you and you’re out of their line of sight. I had the curry hamburger don, which was decent. The burger itself had a good crust on it which gave it a nice smoky flavour and crispier texture. The gravy and the patty had good flavour.
