    We came here during Chicago Restaurant Week, and boy it did not disappoint! Our dinner cost $45 pp and it was more than enough to walk out of the place feeling super stuffed and still having enough left overs for take-home. The food was delicious…everything from the miso soup, salad, sushi, bbq vegetables and dessert were all amazing! We severely underestimated this restaurant and for sure will come back again and again and again. Good food, good service…what more can you ask for? Keep up the good work!

    I've eaten at Gyu-Kaku 3 for birthday dinners with my sons and really enjoyed it. But I feel like the portion sizes have dramatically decreased in size and quantity. The food was very good but six little 3" strips of steak were a little disappointing. I feel that Korean BBQ restaurants like San Son Gab San or Cho Sun Ok are much more worth the money.

    Fun, unique bbq at your table experience. The preset meals makes it easy to chose what to order. The meats were all favorably seasoned. The garlic noodles were very delicious!

    We ordered the meal for two, and the server forgot 2 of our meats. She came 30 mins later saying Oh, I forget to bring out the rest of your food, do you still want it? We had already been eating for like 45 mins. The forgot to bring us a fork, we had to ask another waiter. Overall it didn’t feel like she wanted to wait on us. So for that reason, I definitely won’t be back.
