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!

Before you go, don't forget to taste our best-seller Harami Skirt Steak or Prime Kalbi Short Rib among other must-try dishes!

We have visited Gyukaku many times and have enjoyed bringing all of our friends and family here many times over the years. The quality of service has declined in our last visits immensely. We visited on a quiet Wednesday evening; we were one of perhaps 4 tables seated at the restaurant. It still took our server 20 minutes to introduce himself and take drink orders after we were seated; we had to flag him down every other time throughout the night. Food was served to us slowly. I would say they appeared understaffed but there was no issue with the entire service staff trotting out to sing Happy Birthday to other tables no less than THREE times during our meal. If you are not going to have servers come around frequently, at least provide table buttons so we can summon them from where they're flirting behind the bar or sitting on their phones in a nearby booth.

Service was terrible on a Friday night, we waited to be seated for 10-15 minutes even with a reservation and waited at the table for 20 minutes until we had to tell a server that no one has come to serve us yet.

The food was really good, and the cuts of meat were perfectly portioned. My only let down was I thought it was all you can eat, but that’s only Mon-Thurs. but there were plenty filling sides.
