“Jay was our servers and she was amazing. It was our first time doing Korean BBQ and she took the time to talk us through everything and explained everything perfect! I will come back just for her service alone. Food was equally as amazing!”
“Food never disappoints. Service is always great, even when they are busy. My to go to Japanese bbq! Happy Hour specials a good deal.”
“Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ is hands down my favorite food! The quality of the meat is amazing, everything is fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Cooking at the table makes the experience fun and interactive, and the sauces take it to another level. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is perfect for a night out with friends or family. Every visit is consistently delicious—I can’t recommend it enough!”
“This is some of the best food in the city. I think I would probably want this as my last meal.”
“Size of sushi was extremely smaller than the picture in the menu. When I had a same sushi at other Gukaku, I got bigger size of beef on top of rice. Miso soup was really bad taste. My family had same comments that something missing taste like they forgot to put enough dashi. They should taste before serving. We ordered Meat lovers and chefs choice, but they completely forget to serve chefs choice until we asked. Rest of food were good taste.”
“I decided to have my birthday here and it was ultimately ruined by a group next to me and my and my girlfriend. We spent almost 200 dollars to get jumpscared every 30 seconds by obnoxious screaming and talking extremely loud. The meat and sides were really good and its really sad that we didnt get to enjoy it because we felt uncomfortable. I felt rushed didnt get the experience that I hoped for…”
“I’ve been coming here for the past 4 years and even celebrated my birthday here. Love the food quality and taste, especially the karaage chicken bowl and the spicy cabbage salad”
“Went on a date here with my boyfriend, absolutely loved it! Great food, recommend the ribeye, so so good.”
