Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ

“ive been going every few weeks for a while, and its always amazing.”

ive been going every few weeks for a while, and its always amazing. i feel like you get decent value when ordering as a group and theres decent app rewards and happy hour pricing so eating alone doesnt break the bank. the higher quality meats are really worth it

11/26/25. Troy was our server and he was unbelievable, truly one of the best, hat off to that guy. The all you can eat platter is more than “good”. It’s exclusive, a masterpeace, devine, plentiful, considered the “BATMAN” in the dark knight film. Not enough adjectives in the Oxford dictionary to describe how much I enjoyed that. 10/10 spot for a date, night with the family or friends, even just solo! Highly recommend. FYI this is the one on Randolph.

“We weren't very hungry, so we didn't order the all-you-can-eat ramen.”

We weren't very hungry, so we didn't order the all-you-can-eat ramen. The fried meat and shrimp were also very tasty. We really liked the way the fried rice was served with a raw egg. They brought it out and stirred it right in front of us in a hot bowl, where it finished cooking. The service was simply better.

“Aaron was amazing.”

Aaron was amazing! He had the best vibe — super friendly, helpful, and honestly made the night feel special. He explained everything so well (this was my first time at Korean BBQ), and he just made it easy and fun. He even remembered a couple little things we mentioned and followed up on them. That kind of attention really stood out. Highly recommend asking for him!

“Man this place was great.”

Man this place was great. Everything was phenomenal. And it's reasonably priced too. And I mean every single thing was good, the salad, the miso soup, the quality of the meat, the rice, the kimchi, the beer. I think I have found my new go to spot for Japanese BBQ. 🔥 The manager Jaime is super cool, and really hooked me up.

“My husband and I were first timers and we absolutely loved the experience.”

My husband and I were first timers and we absolutely loved the experience! Had the Valentine’s day special whick came with a bunch of appetizers, meats, and dessert. Even the alcoholic drinks I had was define! It was called the coco-mo. Great service and a great atmosphere and aesthetic inside! We plan to be back again soon! Street parking can take time to find depending on day but we'll worth it.

“My first appointment of the day was delayed by almost an hour.”

My first appointment of the day was delayed by almost an hour. I was starting to hear my stomach grumble. So, why not, look up restaurant week menus to see if there was a lunch spot near my next appointment. Gyu-Kaku seemed like the best menu for my $30. I’ve never had Japanese BBQ (only Korean). I was welcomed in and was seated immediately. The music was some fun 80s-90s rock. Service was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Miso soup, salad with a ponzu dressing, steamed pork dumplings with a garlic chili oil, followed by spicy beef and pork that you grill at the table. A big bowl of rice accompanied my proteins. And then green tea ice cream. I only had one bite of dessert because I was so stuffed. It was a great experience. Delicious. Friendly service. I’m already planning to go back.

“I really enjoyed this restaurant.”

I really enjoyed this restaurant. They have seats by the doors that open up to the outside which makes it a great spot to seat and people watch. I highly recommend this place for any type of date, lunch or dinner. Our waitress was Cassidy and she was very nice and attentive. I definitely give her 5 stars. The food was good. I went during lunch and they have a lunch special for 2 or 3 proteins, which is more than enough food. The lunch comes with salad, white rice, and soup. You definitely have to learn where to place the meat on the grate. Next time I will do better at not burning some of my meat....

“First time coming for Japanese BBQ, very different experience from our usual Hot Pot outing.”

First time coming for Japanese BBQ, very different experience from our usual Hot Pot outing. Came during the afternoon so we were able to be seated right away. We did the $48 Premium selection course. Got to pick whichever items we wanted from that portion of the menu. All the meats that we selected were very delicious, especially the spicy pork & shrimp. Favorite vegetable was the garlic mushrooms. I also really liked the fact that we could control the grill temperature at our table. Must places have a pre-set heat so this was really a plus for us. Our waitress was very attentive as well, checking up on us, making sure everything was going okay. Even went & changed our grill plate halfway through once it started getting charred. 100% had an amazing time for our first visit. Will definitely come again in the future.

“Went here for friend’s birthday lunch.”

Went here for friend’s birthday lunch. Everything was good. We even got the happy hour special. Four people. Bill was under $200 including tips. Still one of the best Japanese BBQ I been to. Only thing not so good is finding parking sometimes.
