Sgt. Pepper Lonely
Decent place with a wide variety of stir fried meat and veggies. We had fried dumplings, chicken and some pan-fried pork and beef dishes. They were OK for the price. Not outstanding at all. We had to wait for 20 min to be seated, so you may consider making a reservation especially during lunch/dinner time.

I discovered a Japanese BBQ restaurant in San Francisco, which was my first experience trying a BBQ restaurant in the USA. The service was a bit slow when it came to ordering new add on meat or drinks. Unfortunately, I found the marination of the meat to be overly salty for my taste, lacking other flavors. However, the soyu ramen stood out, particularly on a cold day. They offered a variety of options including beef, seafood, and other meats. Overall, it was a good dining experience at this restaurant.

Pretty good for a chain. San Francisco location was much better then one we tried in Hawaii. We chose wagyu course for 3 to share for 4.

02/26/2023: First time to a Japanese BBQ. Gyu-Kaku is fantastic! We came for lunch and wanted to try as much as possible, so we opted for the AYCE menu. We had a house salad to start and miso soup. Our BBQ came with veggies, zucchini slices, mushrooms, a couple of shishito peppers, a cup of corn kernels, and various meats, chicken basil, pork belly, filet, slices of beef tongue, and beef ribs. We also had a side of kim chi and steamed rice, which helped cut the richness of the meats. The meal was awesome. I don’t mind cooking my meats as I can make sure that things are cooked to my liking. The meats were tender and marinated well. We enjoyed our meal and look forward to returning. The service was wonderful as well. We had a reservation, though the restaurant was pretty empty since we got there when they opened. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and gave thorough explanations since it was our first time. If you’ve never been, give this chain a try. They have lots of interesting options. Enjoy!

we got the meat lovers meat selection and upgraded 2 of our meats. It was my first time here and super delicious. All the appetizers were amazing as well. The waitress forgot about us at the end but food was tasty and I enjoyed the experience 🙂

Excellent discovery next to the Moscone conference center. The lunch menu is a bargain considering the quantity and quality of the meat.
