About this restaurant

  • Kid-friendly

  • Great for happy hour
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!

    Overall it was good only issue was there was no ventilation when cooking the food so we were so hot because all the smoke was heading back towards everyone at table either add a vent or increase AC higher.

    Started off with a bit of a wait at our table but our waiter, David, was amazing and attentive. Plus, they spaced out the meats which was nice as it can be overwhelming to have all the meats come out at one time. One of the better visits that we have had at any of their locations.

    The grill kept on turning off and there was bones in the karrage. The meat quality was slightly off this time as well
