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!

Before you go, don't forget to taste our best-seller Harami Skirt Steak or Prime Kalbi Short Rib among other must-try dishes!

    Eric our waiter was great! He made sure that we were definitely there for the experience and he was there to make our experience great and for that I can’t thank him enough. It was my mom‘s first time there and it was also her 62nd birthday, and they really made her feel special. We will definitely be back.!!!

    Loved this place! Great food and service! Tamir is amazing! Just wish they hadn’t seated us 2 feet from the kitchen doorway. That really killed it.

    Fast, friendly and attentive service by the staff was fantastic. Food came out quickly and tasted great. Unfortunately, there was nothing left to take home since we ate all of it at the restaurant. I highly recommend this Gyu Kaku location if you're looking for a pleasant dining experience.
