Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ

I’d been craving AYCE bbq, and I was reminded of how much I loved going to Gyu-Kaku back when I lived in LA. It had been a couple of years since my last visit, so I checked their menus online and was happy to see they still offer AYCE, happy hour deals, à la carte options, and lunch specials. We went in the late afternoon for their lunch AYCE and were seated right away. For our first round, we ordered a few appetizers and plates of meat. The cucumber and cabbage salad was just as refreshing and addictive as I remembered. The marinated meats leaned a bit on the sweeter side, so next time we’ll probably ask for lighter marinade, or even go non-marinated (if allowed). The service was attentive, and as we ate, the restaurant gradually filled up with more customers, adding to the lively atmosphere. We wrapped up our meal with ice cream and s’mores, which brought back all the nostalgia. Overall, it was a great visit, and we’ll definitely be back!

Bryan P was our server and he was actually the best ever! He recommended so many super good meats and side dishes to us and they were absolutely amazing! Super good energy and was an angel. Meat quality was really good and the beef tongue definitely was my favorite. 10/10 would go again with friends :)!

The food was great, the service was horrible, we ordered a lunch combo for 2 that comes with 2 soups, 2 cups of rice, salad bowl, and 6 servings of meat. We had to ask for the rice which was not delivered, no one came to check on us through out the meal even though there wasn't many customers at the time and when we called for service and asked for a water refill we did not get it. I'm pretty sure we were supposed to get desert as part of the combo, which we did not get. Servers were too busy chatting amongst each other than caring for their guests. P.S. the food was great!

Okay place but the manager is a really nice guy. Comparatively smaller than the other locations. Won’t honor most of the rewards offered on the app. Food is mostly the same as other locations. The person on the next table kept playing a video very loud on his phone and the servers didn’t say anything to him despite me requesting them to ask him to keep it down.

Very nice Japanese Style BBQ restaurant. Service was great. Waiters are professional and treat us as VIP. Food is also great. Many different styles of beef, pork, and chicken. They are all fresh and delicious. Default condiments have space to improve. Overall, that's a nice place to kill time with families.

Our recent friends dinner at Gyu-Kaku provided an exceptional Japanese BBQ experience. The outstanding service we received, starting with our attentive waitress and her seamless handover to another server during her break, set a positive tone for the evening. We explored the dinner menu, which offered a wide range of tantalizing meats that we grilled ourselves. The restaurant's environment added to the overall positive experience. Gyu-Kaku featured a cozy and inviting atmosphere with well-spaced tables, providing an intimate setting for our family dinner. The tabletop grills, where we personally grilled the meats to perfection, added an interactive and fun dimension to the evening. The warm, dimmed lighting created a pleasant ambiance that made us feel relaxed and comfortable.

Gyu-ku has a good selection of a la Carte items. The happy hour is great you can definitely get a good selection, for sure. The Happy Hour Menu is plenty enough for me. The waitresses just the whole experience was really nice from the hostess to our waiters. The environment was totally chill and kickback. We had the stores at the very end with this complimentary tea (so good). For my first time here it was a great experience. I'll be back to try some more meats.
