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.

    We booked a reservation for my sisters 30th birthday party for six. We were seated pretty fast, however, it took the waitress almost 30 minutes just to welcome us and get our drink orders. After we paid, the waitress forgot to return my debit card. It also took them a while to find the debit card which was very concerning. Overall the food was good but I think the staff needs a little more training on how to provide customer service.

    The grill wasn’t working properly. I spoke to the manager about the issue and she stated that because the location is an older model there was nothing she could do. This was the worst experience I’ve had.

    Service was just okay. I’m assuming it’s because we were AA. We still left a 20% tip despite the subpar service. The service did make a great suggestion for food and I use to be a server.
