Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ

Was immediately seated on a random Sunday. We ordered the preset Meat Variety combo for 3 people which turned out to be more than 3 girls needed but it tasted wonderful. Great service and deliciously marinated meats. I wished that there was more veggies that came with it.

This location is one of a few in Manhattan and it is now one of my favorites. They're all good, honestly. Such great service with fast and friendly staff. The food is really good and all of their raw meats are marinated nicely. I truly enjoy coming here and bringing people who haven't done a Japanese BBQ before. Oh, and the happy hour is one of the best I've ever seen. Their drinks are really good! Only complaint about the happy hour is that it's a very weird time slot. You would thing that working a long 9-5 would lead to a nice happy hour for at least an hour....but their happy hour ENDS at 5. Very strange. Doesn't take away from the great experience you will have here.

Easy to make reservation, their combo menus were great lots of variety, serving the giant mug draft beer is big plus, also S’mores for dessert part of the combo were great as well! 4 of us ate so much and had so much fun. Great for big group!

Initial: Had my Father’s Day dinner here and to be honest it was an amazing experience, especially for my first time for this type of cuisine where customer cook their food. Accessibility: At the time of arrival we had to go up couple flight of stairs but it didn’t bother me. I think it was something about the main building the restaurant is connected to was closed since the escalator/elevator was there. I parked at a garage nearby, I don’t even bother looking for parking in Manhattan. Food: Me and the Fiancee ordered the Waygu Dinner which is for two. That course could feed like 3+ people or maybe my stomach shrunk because I got full really quick. My fiancee family ordered a different menu type which I didn’t get much pictures of. The Waygu steak was deliciously rich and juicy. I forgot what it’s called but it’s the only sushi they have that had the meat on it, me and the fiancee loved that. Toward the end of the course we thought it was over and we still had more incoming. I have absolutely no complaints about the dishes and I even gave my daughter some of that fried rice which she loved. Drinks: I ordered a drink similar to Pina Colada, which was really good just not as strong but I wasn’t looking to get tipsy so it worked out just right. Service: Our server Hira who can be seen in one of the photos took care of us really well. He broke down how to cook each item and corrected any mistakes I did when cooking, also helped cut some of the meat up. Made the experience worth it! Closing: Wished I visited this location sooner but since I was brought here for Fathers Day, made the trip worth it especially when I hate traveling to Manhattan. Also if you can’t finish your food since I believe it was a lot, you can cook the rest and take it home. I’m actually consuming it now at work for lunch. Love this place and I’ll be visiting again quite soon with the boys. Note: I didn’t take pictures of everything, still way more stuff that came with the Waygu Course on top the Chocolate Lava Cake with Ice Cream that’s included.

Just showed up without reservation so had to wait in the bar 20 mins to get a table. No problem really. Great food and the staff were very friendly and quick to serve us. You basically cook your own food at a grill in the middle of the table. Lots of fun for the kids.

Lunch special - per person choose 2 or 3 BBQ items, combo with miso soup, salad and rice you can upgrade your rice - we have one garlic friend rice and another one sukiyaki bibimbap also order add-on side dishes. All meats are flavored and seasoned, too salty and heavy for me. Serving portion per individual is big, easily to get you quite full. Come visit during lunch special period if you are craving for BBQ with favorable price.

Overall: super yummy Japanese bbq meats! Went there on a Thursday evening with a few friends and was seated immediately beware of busier nights and weekends and plan accordingly. Food is always so good! Meat lovers for two comes with a good amount of food for a decent price. Must try the kalbi and sirloin steak topped with a bowl of rice. Price: $$, decent for what you order Service: the staff is accommodating and the server I had was super attentive and gave us a free s’more! Love this place and would come again!

Great food, we took the set for 4 and were super full afterwards even though we were 5 people. Amazing service by the waiters also for beginners, they take the time to explain everything. Can def recommend for a casual dinner!

The tower was underwhelming but the appetizers we got were good. They can make the mango cocktail into a virgin drink so that was good. They were quick with the food and s'mores were given at the end but overall, just an ok meal.

Love this place!!! Really recommendable for any types of celebration or just going out to eat in general. It’s really fun to cook the meat and the food is very delicious.
