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!

    The value and the quality of the food was excellent. If you’re not familiar with the menu, it can be a little daunting, but it’s well worth it. I would highly recommend. A large family. It was very price friendly.

    It has been awhile since I been here and Food was too salty. Some of the meat were tough like filet mignon when the meat was brought out to the table it looked brown looking and was not worth the money for it. I don’t think I would be going back

    The first round came out quickly, almost rushed. The second round (meats) took almost 30 minutes, that was kind of annoying. Our server was great and explained everything very well.

    I have been to this location a few times and it never misses. Great environment and family friendly. Tables are a bit small if you order a good bit of food with multiple people.
