About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
  • Hot spot
Founded in Tokyo in 1996, Gyu-Kaku has become the world’s #1 Japanese BBQ brand! Thanks to our devoted fans we have reached over 700 locations worldwide. Each day, hundreds of thousands of people gather around the table-top smokeless grill, a centerpiece of our dining concept, enjoying selections of premium meats, just off the grill, and other freshly prepared foods from our kitchens, inspiring laughter, conversation, and a magical dining experience.

Our authentic yakiniku (grilled barbeque) dining experience crowns you the chef. Share a variety of delicious appetizers and premium cooked meats over a flaming grill, paired with Japanese sake, frosty cold beers, or other alcoholic and non-alcoholic options of your choice. We're the perfect spot to enjoy time with friends and family, organize an office party, or to spend quality time with your significant other!

    Quality service and food! We went for a birthday and got the Meat Lover's course. Everything was sooo yummy and well portioned. Great value for what you get. Amy was amazing, super attentive and made sure our grill never got too dirty. This was so fun, will be coming back and requesting Amy!

    The food was great, service was a bit slow but acceptable. This location seems to be relatively newer.
