MUST TRY!!!
by VanessaMarzitelli
I LOVE GYU KAKU!! Whenever I'm in the city my boyfriend and I can't leave without getting another taste! I have been to all 3 in the city and also the one in California. All of them were magnificent. I am a Filet Mignon girl so that's definitely what I get but, I have also tried many other dishes..some that I would never imagine to eat because I'm so picky but I was so surprised on how good EVERYTHING was! I was tricked into trying the intestine because if I was told that I would have neverrrr ate it! BUT it was actually very flavorful and tasty. I went here for my 23rd birthday as well and we all had a fantastic time. A very unique and fun dining experience!
Great Japanese BBQ
by Athena Chang , Citysearch Contributor
I have always had good time at Gyukaku. Excellent BBQ meat and great service.
My favorite is the tuna tartar. It is fresh and well seasoned. The bi bim bop here is alright. there isn't much inside and the hot sauce wasn't hot at all. I guess it is just a way to stuff your stomach with some carb :)
The highlight though is definitely the meat selection and their BBQ sauce. You have to try the kalbi, the short ribs, the mushroom and the shrimp.
I also love their desserts. My favorite is absolutely the s'more. It is just so much fun to grill the marshmallow. They also have this green tea layer cake and it is very soft and light as well.
This is perfect for group dining or a romantic dining occasion.
- Pros: High quality food and excellent service
Indoor BBQ? Yes please
by Emoy
I love this place.
Not only is the food great, but the Japanese BBQ concept is so fun, I love bringing new people in to experience it.
It's a great place to hang out with some friends where you can cook and eat your food while enjoying some drinks and each other.
Looking for a date location? Sit on the same side of the grill and wow your date with your ability to cook. It's great for an intimate night out.
Check this place out.
- Pros: Great concept, fun, great food
- Cons: Hard to get reservation on weekend night.
A very goodevening

A very close friend brought me here for my birthday. I was really surprised at being here. She had been here before and thought it would be a nice treat. We were not disappointed. Our waiter was helpful in helping us choose a bottle of sake, guided us on some of the different course choices. The real surprise came when I was brought a birthday ice cream followed by the waiters singing. Truly a satisfying experience
- Pros: helpful wait service
- Cons: none
Amazing Group Experience
by HungryinNY123
I can't express how much I love this restaurant. I've now been to Gyu Kaku 6 or 7 times and have never been disappointed. Being one of my favorite restaurants I decided to host a large group dinner event there on a Saturday night. I was able to secure a great price fixe menu and collaborated with Joji on a fantastic menu. If you've never been here and want to spoil yourself a bit, I recommend the Miyabi Course (price fixe for four people). Each course is better than the last however you'll have to roll yourself out of there because there's just so much food! If you're looking for something a little bit more manageable and cheaper though, I'd suggest getting an order of the Premium Kalbi Short Rib, my favorite item (the restaurant suggests the Taro marinade but I prefer the Miso). Needless to say, everyone left the restaurant fully satisfied.
The service was phenomenal and Lianne took wonderful care of us. She was incredibly attentive and all of our requests were accommodated, no easy task with a party of 19 hungry and thirsty people. As the night progressed and our party continued to drink and get rowdy she maintained her professionalism and positive attitude. Despite their busy night she even let us stay at our table for an extra half an hour.
Overall I was incredibly impressed with the service and quality of the food and can't wait to go back...if they let me.
- Pros: Value, Service, Food
- Cons: Not recommended for parties over 15 (although it was still manageable for my group)
