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!

The experience was really good, but we were at the large table in the back and it is nearly imposs to sit in the booths because the table is so close to the seat and immovable. Legs couldn’t face forward. The open flame also make the area extremely warm compared to the rest of the restaurant.

Went to dinner for my daughter’s birthday. The staff was really nice. The table we were at was comfortable but every time the front door opened, you could feel the very cold air come in. The amount and variety of food is great for the 4-person meal we ordered. The food tasted pretty good but not for the price. With one drink per person, the meal totaled over $250. It was ok for a first time but don’t see myself spending that much money on dinner there again.
