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!

    Love the value during happy hour! The place does get busy so better to make reservations. When they are busy, they are less attentive and don’t replace the grill unless asked. Like any KBBQ pr JBBQ, smelling like food is a given. Also, some servers are not as friendly - maybe because the place is busy and they’re tired. Overall though, still my go-to place for JBBQ/KBBQ.

    The food and the service are excellent. It is consistent, and the lunch combo is very well priced. If you are not sure, try the lunch special, and you will be hooked. Give them a try.
