Came here with family for first time. It’s a bit pricey starting at $52 per person, but for 60+ it drops to $38 which is a great deal. The meat quality was very good. Many options to choose from. We chose the lowest package which they call premium and it goes up from there. It is a place where you do cook all your meats and veggies. We went when it was happy hour so we added the duck breast and that was fantastic. The meat was very tender and delicious. The only downside was our waitress kept forgetting some items we ordered, but she made up for it at the end and offered us a coupon to come back again because she had too many tables to take care of. If you like Japanese BBQ you should try this place. The downside is this location is located where many homeless have camped out so if you park on the streets you will need to walk through this area. Parking was very hard to find on the streets and parking lots were charging a min of $20+ on up.

Plot twist: went to a BBQ place and got the ramen, and it was excellent. Friend for the garlic noodles and also raved. The rest got the barbecue and two value meals split between 4 people was more than enough. They also have a late night happy hour, which I think is just genius.

Compared to other bbq places I have been to, this is probably one of the places I won’t go back to. This is a Japanese all you can eat bbq restaurant and I felt ripped off by the prices, food, and services. I honestly have better food, prices, and services that would cost me less than $78 a person. This is the most I spent on for 2 persons AYCE KBBQ, and the food was only decent (about 3 meats, toro steak, pork belly, etc. were out of stock). You can only order two items at a time. The sad part is that the two orders at a time included the typical side dishes you see that should already be at the time when your host sits you down (Pickled radish, Kimchi, etc). My husband and I ordered meats instead of sides dishes since time limit is 90 mins. The meat choices does not include waygu steak. On the day that we went, there were also no waygu steak for the day to buy on the side anyways. I think $78 each person should at least included 1 order of wagyu steak. I wouldn’t come back here.

We were craving Korean BBQ but didn’t want to drive all the way to Convoy. Looking locally I found Gyu-kaku on Yelp! At first glance there seems to be similarity between Japanese and Korean BBQ. Raw meats, side dishes, AYCE and only blocks from our home. Sold!

Friendly server. He was the only server but did a great job attending to everyones table. Affordable lunch menu. Only thing I was dissapointed at was no free sides. You have to order the side items for a price. Meat was good quality.

Make sure you come for happy hour. Servers are always great and are very attractive. Food is top notch. If you can’t make it to convoy about 15 min north from here for Korean bbq come here instead.

My husband and I have been wanting to experience a restaurant like this for a while and we loved our experience here. Our server Jennica was absolutely KILLIN IT and made sure we were well taken care of even though it was Friday night and her section was huge. We went big and got the biggest selection within reason for a party of two and it was a lot of food but we didn’t leave uncomfortably full. We will definitely be back!

This place is awesome! Treat it as an event, it’s good to go with somebody who’s already gone here so they can order for you. But what’s not to like? Seafood, marinated meats, some vegetables to throw on the grill! Lots of sides too, the mushrooms were awesome. The salad was great! The garlic edamame and the garlic rice were fantastic!

Had almost a $200 order. Waited in the lobby for 15 min PAST our pick up time just to get the food home and realize we are missing a whole entree, 2 sides and all the extra sauces we PAID for. We go back and tell them THREE times what we are missing and at first I thought Cristian was actually helping us but I couldn’t be more wrong. After waiting 10 min we are approached with a bag of sauces and 1 of the sides and he basically thinks we are lying about the entree and the other side and is giving us a hard time for no reason cause during this part we were being completely civil. Then he said let me see what I can do about the entree. It was a SHIRMP Garlic noodles. (WE CLARIFIED AT LEAST 5 TIMES BY NOW) then he leaves for another 10 min and comes back with just that and we ask about the other side and he says “ya we can’t do anything about that” and we are like okay can we have a refund then since we PAID for it and don’t have it? He says no. At this point we are beyond done and just leave. We get home and it’s CHICKEN garlic noodles. I am beyond flabbergasted at this point. BEYOND FLABBERGASTED at this absolutely insane treatment. I will never recommend this place to to my family or friends or anyone . I wouldn’t even recommend it to the crackheads standing outside. HORRIBLE.
