If you thought KBBQ was fun, you have to try Japanese BBQ! Gyu-Kaku’s menu is HUGE! You have the options to do AYCE, order a la carte, or get pre-set Combos based on how many people you have. You’ll enjoy whichever menu you choose because the meats are high quality and the sauces are crack, so you’re guaranteed a great meal. Our server, Kaylin was AMAZING!! Overall, the ambiance was nice and this spot is an option for multiple occasions whether it’s a date night or casual family dinner.

If you guys need a fun spot to take your kids, friends, family, coworkers, or even for date night, then gyukakuoakland got you.

We went there on Apr. 16th around 6:20 pm with a group of 8 people wanting to celebrate our friend’s birthday. The service, however, is totally unacceptable. First, the manager was unclear about the rules, stating that they are unable to provide the all-you-can-eat simply because there are too many people in the group, which is a total non-sense as they can provide all-you-can-eat if you split the bill to 4 and 4 people as mentioned by the other manager that replaced him afterwards. (The manager that came in later was way better, so I am not complaining about her, and I think she did a great job cleaning up the earlier manager’s mess) Second, there were not a lot of people there at that time, but the service was extremely slow and we saw waiter ignore us after clearly seeing we are calling for him. (Pic 4, when the restaurant was mostly empty).

Japanese BBQ is quite different from Korean BBQ. We did not get all you can eat (in 90 min). Instead, we got the Yakiniku Party which has plenty of food for 4 people. The quality of the meat is really good. The pieces are soft and juicy. The s’more is fun to grill. More expensive than Korean BBQ but everyone had a good time.

Food is nice. The restaurant is clean and service is good. Not too busy on Saturday afternoon. We had meat lover course. The meat quality is as good as expected and it’s worth to upgrade to Prime Kalbi Short Rib! Overall experience is great but not really enough in terms of quality for two men.

The service staff is very friendly, and they even squat at the table to talk as is required in Japan. But the speed of serving food was way too slow….. I think there was obviously a shortage of people in the kitchen.

The quality of food is good, but I feel like there are other places where you get a better value for the price. Atmosphere is always good and this is definitely a place to go as a group. If you are really hungry, you can pay the price and get all you can eat, but that seems excessive unless you are just going all out for fun. I was disappointed when I received a very small chicken portion for the grill. I would look for other similar style restaurants before choosing this one.

Great food, friendly service, just a bit pricey for certain items. Super premium A5 beef wasn’t worth it imho, better get that at a full fancy steakhouse. Amazing experience after many times overall!

My point of comparison for this store is the San Mateo store and the 3rd Ave store in NYC. This location feels much cleaner overall. The beef tongue quality was pretty good, service was excellent. I look forward to come back for their all you can eat which starts July 25.
