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.

    Went here for date night. My BF and I love going to Gyu-Kaku. We got lucky and grabbed parking right by the front door. It was a busy Saturday evening so we expected there to be a line. Definitely glad we made reservations through Open Table. We were greeted almost instantly. We got in close to our reserved time. The food was great per usual. Waiter was super busy and my miso soup was forgotten. Nothing that a simple reminder couldn’t fix. He was on it right away. Restrooms were well maintained. It was our first time at this location.

    Make sure you go hungry and the all you can eat option is where it’s at. The food and the service were excellent! Aron was the best server! and the rest of the staff was super kind, helpful and pleasant. We’ll be back again for sure. Arigato!

    Gyu-kaku always has good food but they are located in wonky places! In LA you need to valet your car because of the lack of parking. But at this address, they had virtually no available parking spots and we had a reservation. I parked a block away and walked to the restaurant and this left us feeling a little unnerved during the course of the dinner because we could not see our car. We felt that there should have been someone who would take the car and park it elsewhere for us. Having to walk a block away to do so was a real downer. The food was good. The interior was long and had lots of space. They unfortunately have zero parking for patrons. This can be a problem if you are dining late and have to walk a few blocks to get to your car. Just something to think about when dining at Gyu-kaku in Tustin. Go during the day! When it's still light out.

    We've visited this restaurant several times and are never disappointed. Similar to KBBQ but a 'marinaded' version of the classic style. Bring your appetite to this AYCE gem!
