Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ

Delicious! This is quite the popular place but despite being so busy, we were served very well and in a timely manner. Great experience for groups and date night. Definitely worth a come back!

Gyu-Kaku White Plains offers one of the best dining experiences in Westchester, especially if you're a fan of grilling your own food at the table. I highly recommend the All You Can Eat option — it's a fantastic deal considering the quality and variety of meats and sides included. The premium menu features cuts like Harami Skirt Steak, Kalbi Short Rib, Pork Belly, shrimp, and more, all marinated to perfection or served plain for purists. The seafood options and veggies round it out nicely, and the included appetizers are restaurant-quality on their own. You have 90 minutes to order, but the pacing was perfect, and the staff made sure we always had something on the grill. On top of that, the Happy Hour deals are unbeatable. We came early and were able to enjoy discounted drinks before starting the AYCE. It's a great way to extend the experience without breaking the bank. The service was excellent our server was knowledgeable, attentive, and gave great recommendations for what to try first and how to best cook each item. The atmosphere is casual and lively, perfect for groups, date nights, or even solo grillers looking for something different. Overall, if you're in the White Plains area and want an interactive, satisfying meal with great value and quality, Gyu-Kaku is a no-brainer. Just make sure to come hungry!

Gyu-Kaku was my first Japanese BBQ and my first experience cooking for myself at a restaurant, and it was overall an excellent experience! The meats all tasted premium, and all the sides were even better than expected. The staff was very helpful in instructing you how each thing should be cooked and were generally very friendly. The atmosphere itself was a nice vibe, too. Chill, comfortable, friendly. A great spot for lunch or dinner with friends and family!

I rarely write reviews like this. My experience at Gyu-Kaku was ruined by the management. Specifically, the manager, Orli. From the moment we were seated, professionalism and courtesy were gone. Orli was dismissive, condescending, and annoyed by every reasonable request. It felt less like dining and more like being an inconvenience. Service was chaotic and frustrating. Drinks were delayed. Orders were mixed up. Instead of taking responsibility, Orli blamed staff and customers. The atmosphere became tense and hostile. Attempts to escalate concerns were met with rolling eyes and curt responses. I came for good food and a pleasant night. We left stressed and disappointed. Orli’s behavior wasn’t just unprofessional. It actively ruined the experience. No amount of good food can fix that. I cannot recommend this location unless Orli is no longer running the floor.

Great experience! The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. Our online reservation was canceled due to a glitch. Even though it was a busy Friday night they managed to squeeze us in and give us phenomenal service! The food and drinks were great! They have an excellent selection of food and high quality meats. Good selection of vegetarian options for a BBQ place. The Beyond Bibimbap was delicious. Would highly recommend this restaurant!

Great idea. Cook your meats how you want them. 1 star off for the package deals. We were 3 people. My wife & daughter liked some of the meats better from the party of 4 package. There’s no substituting so we did that one. It said $42.50 per person. As the food came out we got food for 4 . So we paid $170 for 3 people. The empty seat got a soup that we didn’t eat. Double salad,that wasn’t even touched., etc. So you’re paying for an empty seat.. some of the meats were fatty. Next time we go will create our own package from the Al carte menu.

Everything was delicious. Asparagus was a tad underwhelming (just butter), but I chalk that up to the other dishes bursting with flavor. Definitely get the shishito peppers, chili mayo shrimp (11/10), wagyu, and beef tongue (with the scallion sauce!). We chose to do a la carte as a party of 2 and the price point is really not bad. The quality of the meal and experience are above and beyond. Our server, Enrique, was attentive and eager to help. We have to give a shout out to manager Koyo, as well, for his careful recommendations and friendly service. First but definitely not our last time dining here. We left full and happy.
