- WWillSan Francisco Bay Area •12 reviews5.0Dined on Jul 15, 2025Had a great lunch here on a Tuesday afternoon. Staff was friendly and helpful and took great care of us throughout our meal. The food came out quickly and from the corn bread to pork belly nap buns to our mains, everything was delicious and flavorful.More infoInternational Smoke San FranciscoPrice: Expensive• American• SOMA•4.3
- UUsmanLos Angeles •3 reviews5.0Dined on Jul 5, 2025I have been to many gyu kaku locations, but this one stood out with the level of attention the wait staff gave us. They were incredibly patient and walked us through the entire menu. Ultimately they helped us choose the Yakiniku set menu and helped us replace any pork items as our entire group didn’t eat pork. Highly recommend the location and really big props to the service teamMore infoGyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ - San Francisco, CA | South of Market (SoMa)Price: Expensive• Japanese• SOMA•4.6

- CChloeOrange County •2 reviews4.0Dined on Jun 16, 2025Nice restaurant and food was good, they had run out of cornbread though which is my favorite BBQ joint side and the ribs and brisket came out lukewarm. If cornbread in stock and meat came out hot would have been 5 star.More infoHardwood Bar & SmokeryPrice: Moderate• Barbecue• SOMA•4.1
