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!

    Food is always great! Service was good, but our server had a very large table at the same time as our 4 top, so it was a tad slower than usual. Not super upset, it is one of our favorite restaurants.

    It was my birthday dinner with my friends, they had all been here, but it was my first time. I loved it! We shared the Gyu-Kaku Feast for 6 people and oh man we were stuffed. I will definitely be coming back, they made my birthday special, and I got Green Tea Ice Cream!!
