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.

    Service was horrible, the checked on us twice during the entire visit. Not even refills on water were offered. The place is old and musky smelling. The grill was either too hot or too cold to even make a sizzle. Definitely not worth the trip from north of town.

    some of the cuts of meat where shredded and fell through the grills. Waiter got my kids meal wrong . He stated we could substite side dish for broccoli , when plates came, they where not changed. Also got our drinks wrong and we kept telling him but he never changed it, and he wouldn’t come to the table often to check if we needed anything else. Also left the burner on to high.
