“I usually come to gyu kaku and the experience is always better every time . My first time and associate took the time to show me to use chopsticks and the kindness just always stayed . I will forever recommend Gyu-Kaku to anyone ! The experience is unique”
“Loved the marinades and sides! Everything we tried on the value course was great 🫰 Awesome service and recommendations from Deyse. Would definitely come for another taste of the menu and to celebrate with the sparkling sake!”
“Everything was delicious and service was great as well. Loved the short rib.”
“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”
“Absolutely love the experience here. It was my first time and Erica treated us like family. She has a fantastic weremaking him feel people comfortable and explaining the menu style of the restaurant this was our first time with my goddaughter and we have fabulous. Fabulous time.”
“I don’t usually spend money on fancy food, but I decided to come here with my friends. As a college student on a tight budget, I wanted to treat myself to good-quality food for once. Cooking the meat by ourselves was fun at first, but it got tiring after some time. Still, we ordered the $90 meat set for two, and it was very delicious. The food was high quality, and overall the experience was really good.”
“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. 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.”
“The experience is ok but definitely over priced for what they’re offering. Believe me i own several successful restaurants in Chicago and i know what i am talking about when it comes to quality, portions, prices and …”
“As the waiter was pouring our water, there was a candle that fell into the drink. He didn't noticed and sped walked away. We told our waiter about it and he laughed about the situation and blamed it on "Daisy." Very unprofessional and didn't apologize for the experience.”
