Went here for my brother’s 30th birthday and had a great time! Tim was our server and at the end of the night, he became our friend! A very unique and fun dining experience with a wide variety of options!! So many good drinks as well! Their happy hour is also 12:00pm-6:30pm daily which is awesome! Highly recommend Gyu-Kaku to anyone who enjoys Japanese food with a twist! Can’t wait for our next visit :)

Super fun concept and strong cocktails. Looked at the pre planned options, and decided before hand what we wouldn’t want and what we could add. Came with a plan of which foods we wanted and ended up paying the same amount if we chose the pre planned deal. Ate everything. Very yummy.

The staff here is so friendly! I was promptly greeted by my host sylvia with a kind an warm smile she then set me up with a table and a menu. Helping me navagate it by explaining where everything located before I was promptly attended by my server. The food came out shortly after overall it was a very pleasant experience and I would definitely return again!

This place is AMAZING! I've never been to a Japanese bbq before but this was easily the best restaurant I have been to all year. They bring you the meat and you get to cook it to your desired tenderness, and oh my gosh was the food fantastic.

I've been finding these in every major city I visit. I like their rewards system and it was extremely easy for me to build up points--especially with bringing my friends here. If your friends aren't members you can still scan their receipts for points. We did the lunch special this time around. You can do 2 or 3 proteins which come with miso soup, a salad, and white rice for $13-$17 per person. It didn't sound like a lot at the time, especially because I normally do all-you-can-eat, but there was plenty of food! Our server was amazing and explained things to our first-timer while I looked at the happy hour drink specials. I normally get a cocktail but beer goes best with barbequed meats if I'm to be honest. All of the meats were marinated splendidly. I love their 3 dipping sauces on every table though I'm partial to the spicy one--which just has a slight kick. The rice had a good texture and was hot. You can also upgrade your white rice for a price. The person that came with me upgraded to a beef fried rice bowl. The fire on our grill went out a few times due to the wind from the back door. We came while deliveries were being made so they had to prop the door open. It was not an issue at all because our server was extremely attentive, yet did not hover. Everything was great here! I highly recommend you give them a try during happy hour if you're a first-timer. They weren't busy and were able to give full attention. Plus, the prices are way better. I'm really glad that I'm able to recommend another Gyu-Kaku location!

I would give five out of five, but they were out of the A5 Wagyu, and that was the main reason for coming in. But price for what you eat is untouchable. The Food and staff are top-notch. Don’t forget to get s’mores for dessert.

Gyu-Kaku was an amazing experience. I have gone to a number of Korean BBQ places over the years and have always wanted to go to a Japanese themed one. I went for my birthday and it was an amazing trip. The food prices are pretty reasonable but can still be pretty high for an every day meal out. Definitely a great place for celebrations or just wanting to take friends to on occasion. I did not tell anyone I was there for my birthday but the staff were extremely helpful and excellent through the process. I would love to come back again.

We had such a wonderful experience, especially with our server Alex! The AYCE is absolutely superb and the meat is really high quality! We were celebrating a birthday and they brought out a sweet birthday treat with candles! It was one of the most thoughtful sentiment and we can’t wait to return again!
