Comment: We had the Yakiniku party. We had one extra person who also didnt eat meat so we also added additional vegetables and an extra smore for them. The appetizers were quite good. Salads were very good well portioned as were the garlic noodles. The meats were very fresh. Our favorites were any meat that were marinated as they were the most tasty. They do provide dipping sauce. We also ordered some pork belly which was good and lots of fun to cook. Fun place to go for bbq without having to clean your own grill.

Comment: Not the same but as good as the ones in Japan! The atmosphere reminded me of my local Gyu-Kaku in Japan. We had the meat lovers and they let us change the s’mores to vanilla ice cream for dessert when we asked. So nice of them :)

Comment: My company made it wholesome and fun! The environmentwas hectic and busy, took a long time to get our drink orders AFTER we received our food. We had to ask several times, to be told it was someone else bringing our drinks. The food portions were shared equally and as we barely finished part of our meal, the other meats arrived causing less space and more chaos on the table.

Comment: First off, we came with 6 people and no reservation. So, while the service wasnt spectacular, it was more than I expected.The food: we got the house special, which feeds 6 or more, and I was absolutely stunned by the amount of food that kept coming. The meat quality was great. We didnt order any A5 Wagyu or anything like that, but everything that came out was awesome.The facility itself was relatively clean. Its in NYC, so clean is a relative term. And I felt comfy eating there.8.5/10 - will absolutely be eating here again if I get the chance.

Comment: We showed up here tonight without a reservation. Initially, there wasnt any room for us but the hostesses saved our evening but finding us a table. I was really grateful as my niece had been talking about this place for weeks! Thank you for accommodating us. Oh and the food was yummy and the whole BBQ experience was a lot of fun for us all!

Comment: Gyu-Kaku is a great restaurant for eating with friends and family. The food is delicious and the servings are fairly large. I had the spicy ramen. It was very fun to cook the pork, chicken, and shrimp over the grill. The restaurant itself is very clean and not loud, even with large parties. There is a wide variety of small dishes and meats.

Comment: Super fun experience with our adult kids, everyone enjoyed picking at the chicken, salmon and beef portions we got to try roasting them on the tables grill. Delicious vegetables in foil steam packets, good kimchee and edamame. Waiter was helpful with explanations of the process. Mostly gave us a chance to relax together over a meal that was more like playing a board game than a fine dining experience. Oh, and we ordered a la carte which turned out to be better value than their family of 4 meal.

Comment: I wouldnt come here on the weekend. Premium All You Can EatMon–Thu Open-8:30PM and Happy Hour Daily 11AM–5PM is the best time. I simply didnt have enough food for two people when I ordered the CHEF ’S CHOICE for $100. I wouldnt dare purchase the GYU-KAKU FEAST for 6 people, you will end your night looking for something else to eat after.

Comment: Ive spent a lot of time in Japan & Korea where this type of restaurant is very popular. It is possible to have a very enjoyable dining experience here at a surprisingly reasonable cost if you order well and are comfortable with cooking your own meal at the table. Take advice from the wait staff and, if you want to save money, order a la carte, not the packaged meals.

Comment: I would highly recommend this for a family meal. Just to make it clear what the restaurant is all about: there is a heating element in the middle of the table and everyone prepares their own meat. Sounds a bit strange, but was a really fun experience. Everyone enjoyed the meal, including our picky eaters.

Comment: My family and I went to the Amsterdam Ave location. Loved everything we ordered. Stand out faves were the crispy tempura veggies topped with tuna and avocado, the crispy rice volcano tuna, the bimbibap onion beef rice (soooo freaking good), and the cheese wontons. The 2 cons was service was almost absent after we received our main courses so we waited a while to order more beverages and most disappointing was that I ordered a glass of wine and the waiter served me a glass with, I kid you not, 2oz of pinot grigio!! Wth? My entire table looked at me puzzled. I asked the waitress how much wine they serve in a glass and she, I quote, stated 60ml which converts to 2oz. I asked to speak to a manager because nowhere in America does any restaurant serve 2oz of house wine for $12! Gladly, the server took it upon herself to return my drink to the bartender and pour a normal 7-8oz flag of wine at no additional cost. I hope this is not a typical occurrence. Overall, Id definitely return and recommend.

Comment: Our first time dining in at this location. We have been to the ones in Times Sq and East Village a few times. Food was good. We came during happy hour which was a good deal. Our server was nice but kept forgetting about our requests although I have reminded him and he didnt refill our water the entire time we were there. Its not the same service quality as the other locations.

Comment: Eating here was such a fun experience. Came with a group of 6 for a birthday and they were so accommodating from beginning to end. They kept our cake in their fridge with no issues & energetically bought it out for the bday boy. We went on a Sunday and made our reservation that same morning. They were ready to seat us within 5 minutes. We got their Shogun set for 6 and it was an amazing deal that included good portions of appetizers, veggies, proteins, & ended with smores! Theyre proteins were so delicious, seriously! We were all mm-ing & yum-ing the whole time. My favorite was their skirt steak & yaki shabu beef. We were there for lunch, meaning happy hour prices! Got a delicious lychee martini for just $5!!! We all finished our meal with food coma.

Comment: I really liked this place. I came with my parents and partner. We had the 4 person BBQ meal. It was great and came with way more food than I was able to get in the pictures. Tons of beef, pork, chicken, shrimp and more. There was sushi, fried chicken, noodles, salad, kimchi, edamame and it all ended with some s’mores. For that much variety and a really cool experience the price was totally fair. The service was great too. I snuck the waiter my card so that my dad couldn’t pay and he did a good job with that.

Comment: Decided to go for lunch and we landed for the happy hour window. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! The shishito peppers had this awesome sauce on them, the happy hour crispy chicken wings were insane! I wish we had ordered a second round, all the meats were good. So we didn’t realize how high the heat had been left for us and we started cooking our pork belly per their instructions, sadly it burned but, a server saved the day and replaced the item after they saw what happened and turned the heat down. So nice of her! Also I downloaded the app because I definitely plan to visit more locations when I’m hankering for it. Love this chain!

Comment: Really fun place for the family. $6.50 kids meals where they get to cook their own food and enjoy smores on the grill afterwards is exceptional value. Go in happy hour and the adult deals are also superb value. One of my favorite family dinner venues in UWS. Super yummy too!

Comment: Food was great and seasoned perfectly. I do have to say its very easy to spend $150+ when with a group of 4 friends. Gets busy enough that (at least with our) waiter its hard to get attention. Overall clean and I didnt feel panicky because of covid. I must also say that its a bit pricey so if you are on a budget dont go but if you want to spend money and enjoy Japanese BBQ come here.

Comment: Love this place. Always have a good time here. They recently increased their prices but given things now I understand why. Happy hour usually every day until 5pm. I would call ahead just to be sure.

Comment: Oh my goodness one of my favorite places we have eaten in the city. The food was delicious and the waiters were attentive and kind. Would highly recommend going for the lunch special which is like $16 and plenty of food. Roasting the smores after dinner was an additional $2 and so fun! The meat portions are good and the flavor is immaculate. I will definitely be going again. Cannot give this this place higher praise. I have never had my water glass refilled so many times without having to ask once!!

Comment: Food is great and the experience. Their garlic fried rice in this location is a bit different from the east side and Hell’s Kitchen locations. The wait time for food and everything was a bit long.They put us at a table where the grill onlyworked on one side which was very inconvenient when you’re trying to cook meats for 4 different people. They were aware of this but sat us here knowing they need to replace it.Happy hour is only a $1-$2 off the food so it’s best to come for drinks.Very intimate experience if you’re on a date otherwise it is a good time to laugh, drink and eat.

Comment: Gyu Kaku is one of my favorite places to go for a great family dinner. This was my first time at this location and they were absolutely amazing. Our server was very attentive and gave great recommendations, and another woman (who I assumed was the supervisor?) kept checking on us as well. This place is very well managed and the staff are so friendly and accommodating. The food is great. Plenty of options that will definitely get you full and satisfied. I personally am a fan of the Japanese Karaage and the spicy tuna volcano as my starters—10/10. I had a mango tango since it was a pretty warm summer day when we came here and it definitely was refreshing. When I go back to Gyu Kaku, I’m coming to this location specifically.

Comment: Local outpost for this upscale chain of Korean BBQ. Calories, veggie and gluten free options clearly indicated on menus, with helpful photos. Lots of options, and great fun to grill at your table, but for the real experience youll need to head down to Koreatown. Reservations recommended.

Comment: Love this restaurant. Clean, organized, friendly, respectful, mindful, family friendly. Whats there not to love. This location doesnt have a changing table. Its near central park, and the 2/3/1 train lines. No free parking, expensive parking near by. A few busses pass walking distance from this location in either direction.

Comment: This is a Japanese BBQ restaurant. There is currently no outdoor dining, but indoor dining is allowed with limited capacity. Inside was very quiet and clean which I liked.We went for lunch. There was a happy hour special which was $70 for 2 people which came with soup, salad, edamame, and a variety of meats to grill. The portion size was just right - we finished everything and were sated, yet not overly full.I can see how this restaurant might be very expensive if youre not careful. Each dish of normal meat was $10-$20, and its recommended that you order 2-3 meat plates per person.I wish we were served more vegetables to grill. The vegetable plate that came with our meal set had only 4 cherry tomatoes, 4 small mushroom, 4 slices of zucchini, a little cup of corn, and some cabbage. This was my only complaint.In addition to the meal sets, the menu also had some standard Japanese eats like ramen.

Comment: Amazing experience. We arrived 10 mins prior to our reservation. We were seated immediately had our Temperature taken and asked for our address due to Covid reasons.The waiter was very nice and patient explain things thoroughly even asked if we had any food allergies. Food was very delicious we ended up picking our own things and not getting a package. Restaurant was clean staff was extremely friendly. Definitely will be visiting again. I also like that the grill was changed in between food. Great experience.

There is literally a grill in the middle of the table lol.I only took video and apparently I cant post video via this review. But its a very unique n creative spin on a restaurant experience.

Comment: Five stars for this recent addition on the Upper West Side. Fantastic place to eat with family and friends. Cook your meat, fish, pork and veggies at the table. The friendly staff can help with tips and cook times. Reasonable prices and lots of choices. We did a package for four and we left the restaurant stuffed. Drink choices include Japanese beer and house sake that is available warm or cold. You can end your meal with the traditional American dessert of Smores. Will go back.
