This is one of the finest Japanese BBQ in the city. The ingredients are always fresh and well marinated. My favorite is their draft beer specially Kirin which comes in mega mug. The servers are polite and super fast. We have been going to this restaurant for 6 years now. Highly recommended and we definitely will be back soon.

My husband is Japanese and is familiar with Yakiniku but this was my first time and, wow!! Super delicious and enjoyable! Even a Japanese was content with the food and service. We got the Chefs Favorite, which was enough food for two hungry adults. Rafael, our server, was so wonderful and helpful. We cant wait to come back!! (Just make sure to make a reservation!)

We were walk in guests. No reservations but the front attendee accommodated us but did nicely notified us that there is a reservation about an hour and a half later. We gladly took the free slot knowing we could finish our dinner within that time.We got the meat lovers set. And that’s all that you see in the pictures with this review. Except the extra order of hot sake on the side. This smaller size option was enough for me plus a few shots for me lady.We were left to cook for ourselves but I believe if you ask for assistance they could help you with cooking too. They did change the grill pretty often.The food portions was perfect for the two of us with a little left over to have it in to go boxes.Although there was a scheduled reservation after us, we were not rushed at all during our meal.

Service was great, the wait staff was really on top of everything. If you want to order alcohol go between 4-6, all drinks are half off and absolutely delicious. They have a lot of fruity cocktails and slushies as well as drafts and wines if thats more your thing. About 5$ a drink if you go then and even cheaper for the beers.You can pick a bbq package from the menu (fixed price) and each says how many people it would feed and which dishes are included. We had 4 people and the package was enough to fill us all (adults) even though we hadnt eaten all day. They do have many dishes to choose from their side menu if you want to add those to your meat set.They have chicken, pork, and beef all various cuts and marinades. Make sure to call ahead! They require reservations.

We got the meat lovers menu, which was enough for two people to eat. The sizes and the portions were good but the quality wasnt the best. The cost (we think) was a little bit on the expensive side but nothing too bad.Overall, pretty OK place for first experience with yakiniku but if you already tried, maybe skip this one.

I love interactive restaurants where you get to cook at the table and have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while, but they’re always SO busy. Walked in at 5:05pm and was told we could be seated, but had to give the table back by 6:30pm. The overall experience was fun and tasty - I highly recommend it. As it was my first time dining here, the waiter explained the menu in detail offering suggestions, which I greatly appreciated. After placing our order, our drinks and food arrived very quickly and there was a steady flow of meats that followed. The restaurant has high ceilings and the atmosphere was relaxed with moderate lighting. My only complaint was a couple of pieces of meat were too fatty to eat, but otherwise the quality seemed good. Will definitely return if I can get a reservation or visit during an off time again.

Been going here for many years, it has been great. The entire chain delivered great food but this one was also really good. It turns out recently, I have came 6 times since the pandemic, their quality has dropped. The staff is okay, if you ask for recommendations they will not tell you which one is better but instead the most expensive option. Still pretty good staff though. They stopped caring too much about the restaurant as well. If you ask them a question on the phone they dont pay attention to your question and give a wrong answer sometimes. Also, the beef sukiyaki rice bowl comes ready and other things that the waiters did infront of you. In the past they used to make it infront of you and they still do at other locations but not here. The most recent time we came, I made a reservation for 8:15 and they called me to change it (even though they confirmed before) to 9:15. Keep in mind that the kitchen closes 9:30 (I didnt know they closed at that time, when we called to ask what time the kitchen closes they said 10:30. It turned out that was when the establishment closed altogether and they didnt really think about what I asked them). After sitting down and seeing the menu, it was already 9:30 and we had to order everything at once. Considering that we will definitely order more stuff later, it isnt right to feel rushed to order everything together. When we sat down and ordered appetizers first, we were looking to order the meats when the waitress came to inform us the kitchen was closing and we had to order everything then. We got up and left and went to eat elsewhere that night. Still, the food is good but I recommend going to another location. Times Square location is my favorite after what used to be this one. In the future I hope it returns to the old service and quality it used to be. Since the appetizers were already ordered, the manager (very nice lady) told us for the inconvenience we could take those appetizers to go, free of charge. That is a considerate move my the manager and I appreciate that, so we left a normal tip and left. Please fix the restaurant! It used to be so good.

The food was amazing, but grossly expensive. Yes, individually, the meats dont seem to cost a lot until you realize that you arent getting THAT much meat each serving. So as you order multiple to fill yourself up, the tab goes up very very fast. That being said, the meats were very tender and succulent. Cooking them medium-rare yields the best flavor. However, at the $50 per person that my friend and I ended up spending, Ill have to pass on future visits.

My favorite Gyukaku experience thus far after a disastrous experience at the Cooper Union location (only gave us one set of sauce for three people and the servers basically ignored us). I have gone to the Times Square location and the Cooper Union location in the past, but this one was most memorable in a positive way.We made a reservation for Saturday afternoon in mid October. Upon coming in, they had your temperature checked and asked us to fill out our contact info (for contact tracing purposes). I really loved the interior decorating as there was so much natural light coming in. We were served right away and we ordered a variety of appetizers, drinks, and the HH bbq course combo. They gave each of us utensils and our own sauce set (yay no sharing this time). The waiter was very attentive and came up to several times refilling our water, and asking if everything was okay (major redemption from the Cooper Union location).The meats with the BBQ were marinated really well and was delicious with the various sauces they provided. The appetizers were also really tasty and flavorful. At one point I had to dive into the rice as some of the dishes did get a little too salty.The drinks, which happened to be during HH prices as well, were an added touch to the experience (we each ordered two drinks each). They definitely did not skimp out on the alcohol as it did make us feel chipper (or maybe because we are lightweights).If you are in the mood for some Japanese bbq, I definitely recommend coming here. What makes this different from Korean BBQ is definitely the marinate, and Japanese tends to be more sweeter and flavorful than Korean BBQ.Note: It is best if you make a reservation ahead of time. Happy Hour normally happens from afternoon to 6pm everyday.

Food experience was great. Very interesting actually. You buy the foods and cook it yourself on a grill in the middle of the table. Only reason I gave it 4 stars was because my food stuck to the grill and frustrated me lol. The drinks were good and the restaurant is great for social distancing.

The food is excellent. Happy hour is great and only at the bar in the front. Staff members lie about happy hour indicating it throughout the whole restaurant, we found that out at the table drink are double the amount. It difficult to understand staff. Female Management is not understanding to customers with reservations and did not leave a good impression after wait at the bar for 30 minutes in spend $80 at the bar. In spend $100 @ the table for two people. Poor Management in Customer relations.

Food good as always. Went for lunch and it was pretty busy. Got our orders in quick but the waitress didnt come check on us till the very end. We wanted to order multiple drinks but by the end of the meal we didnt feel like ordering second rounds as we just wanted to go at that point. Most other times the service is better so it was likely just an off day for them.

I love this Japanese BBQ chain store, This location is great. The servers are nice, friendly, and attentive to your needs. The food is great, its moderately affordable, lunch specials range from $10.95 to about $15 (before tax and tip) for a single person from opening until 3pm. And they have happy hour running for most of the day. Its a great place to go to with friends to barbecue together and the group food options usually have smores as a dessert 😋.

A great place for family/and or friends. We went with two hungry adolescents, and 4 adults. Ate steak, drank beer and ate the whole menu for 2 hours. The marinated cheaper steak options are the best value, and are marinated nicely. 9/10 would strongly recommend.

Stopped by for a late night bite around 11pm and discovered it was happy hour as well! I was able to get an appetizer and saki for $13!!! Would love to go back to try the BBQ!The spicy tuna volcano consists of a fried rectangular cubes of rice topped with marinated tuna. Its only lightly spicy.

This is not my first time at Gyukaku, if youre not familiar with this type of BBQ, please read into it before you go. Tonights dining experience was very nice. We briefly waited for out table and our server was very nice. The food is always good. We went for the Valentines Day special. Of course, you can still order more BBQ add ons if youre still hungry. I suggest that if you do not order an appetizer(s), then go for it. Otherwise, its a lot of food. The cocktails were pretty straight forward. I wasnt expecting anything spectacular but they were enjoyable.I enjoyed the thin slices of beef paired with the sauces on the table.Theres this garlic chicken thigh that I think is fantastic. Especially if you dont want to just load up on beef. Watch out for slices of meat with a lot of fat. It can flare up, which usually isnt an issue. I try to brush it on the grill two or three times before setting it off center. My only complaint is small. The side salad had a bit too much dressing but lets be honest, who is going to a BBQ place to enjoy a salad? 10/10.

I love this Gyu-Kaku branch. More bigger than their other branch in Flushing. I love how the tables are arranged.If you want to see the city view, you can request to be seated by the window. Not only that... if you have someone special to bring on a date.. I recommend asking for the window seat tables :) You can choose to be seated facing the city view while cooking/eating your favorite dishes ^_^Their ambiance is okay, cleanliness of the venue is good. Service crew memebers are nice and accommodating. They have one common restroom which is also clean and pretty big for 1 person (no changing table for babies, but can fit 2-3 persons... if you have kids that need help to go to the bathroom).The food is really good. We ordered the fried Squid Cartilage (also known as Calamari), Avocado Salad + Chicken (you can add Chicken or Tuna. The chicken is a little spicy), Chili Shrimp Shumai (We asked for just the mild Spicy Shumai...-but theres no hint of that mild spiciness, so order the regular one), Bistro Hangar Steak, Shrimp Garlic, Sukiyaki Bibimbap (This was one of the dishes in the happy hour choices). The Bibimbap that I ordered is... more of rice with just a little beef on it.For our dessert, we had the Chocolate Lava Cake with Green Tea Ice Cream on the side and their Yakimochi Ice Cream - a must try! (both desserts are really good and are well presented especially the mochi Ice Cream with different flavors inside).I will definetly come back and recommend this place to my family and friends.

Meat eaters can’t go wrong at Gyu-Kaku. The lunch menu was perfect and the 3 meat selection was almost too much. The hanger steak was amazing. Overall fun to cook your own food and share different entrees. They were out of the sweet soy sauce which was so disappointing because it’s amazing to dip your meat in for added flavor. The other sauce options (ponzu and a hot/spicy) are fine but the soy is the star. Their salad dressing is also fantastic.I recommend booking on Opentable early if you are trying to make an evening dinner. The stairs are steep to walk up but their is an elevator in the adjoining building.

Review №49

Not exactly their fault but the combo of poor entrance way design and limited space plus the fact that this is an in demand lunch spot in mid town make for a chaotic entry way / waiting -for-your-table experience. They also sat us awkwardly because the tables for parties our size were taken. The table grills are small and should be rectangular instead of small circles to maximize surface area for cooking. They seem to have a lot of minor but annoying design flaws. They also do this annoying thing where you have to order the meats in pre set mixed orders and are not allowed to do add ons... weird.That being said, the service was very good wait staff was excellent really...and the food was great. Our party had a really good time.

Poor service. Not very attentive and by the time the 1.5 hours was up, we didn’t even get to order all the food and weren’t hungry anymore from waiting.

Wouldn’t recommend this particular location.

Great Ambiance. We had the harami in secret pot which was delicious. The staff helps but we have to cook our own food. The Kobe meat was great as well. Japanese sake goes well with the meat. They have packages for group of people. We had the one for 6 people. It covered different meats - pork belly, Beef, shrimp and more. The quantity was satisfactory. They have some good dessert options. We went with the smores. Overall its a great experience

Review №64

I’d give this place six stars if I could! Beyond a doubt some of the best food I’ve had in NYC! My fiancé and I stopped in at around 4pm somewhat out of the blue after seeing this place in the suggestions for nearby restaurants online, and luckily there wasn’t too much of a wait at that time, so we were seated immediately- which I don’t think I’d count on, considering they asked us if we had a reservation, and had mentioned they’d need to be sure we’d finished by 6pm since the dinner rush was largely reserved! The restaurant was on the second floor, and the steps was a little steep, though I do believe they have an elevator. The aisles was decently sized, enough that someone with a mobility aid like a walker or wheel chair could certainly get through, even if in some spots it may be tight. Looking through the menu, it was hard to choose, as so many of the options sounded absolutely delicious, but ultimately we went with the Meat Lover’s, which I believe was around $65 for what they advertised as a meal for two, but certainly gave us more than enough to eat and bring home. The staff gives you instructions on how long to properly cook the foods you’ve ordered, and instructions is written on the packet for chop sticks as well! The drink menu was surprisingly expansive, all things considered, and the house sake was fantastic; not so alcoholic that it felt like straight up rubbing alcohol like some inexpensive sakes do, but it definitely had a burn to it, and the flavor went fantastically well with the unique and tasty seasonings on the meats we’d ordered. My fiancé got some sort of mango based mix drink, which he reported was great. All in all, a ton of seriously yummy food for the price, good drinks, a fun atmosphere, and just all around a wonderful time. I’ll certainly be back!

I personally like places where you can cook your meal at your table. The meats are served cut up into well seasoned small pieces hus making it easier to eat without a knife.The wait staff was great. All of the employees I ran into had face masks which was great to see. Even though guidelines regarding use of facemasks because of COVID-19 were reduced, I felt comfortable dining at this restaurant, knowing that the staff are taking extra precautions.In summary, my wife and I had a great dining experience and would eat there again.

Great BBQ restaurant. Come here for the happy hour for half priced drinks and great prices for BBQ meats. You will have to BBQ your own food but thats the fun part. They have sets or a la carte but the sets are a better deal. The Fuji set is most economical but the Kobe set offers the premium meats. Each set comes complete with a soups, salads, rice, meats, seafood, and smores for dessert. Highly recommend this one.

The food was soooo tasty! The only reason why I deducted a star was because for certain meat, they gave some pieces that weren’t whole. They were shredded and stringy with little to no meat on it. Hard to cook since they were so thin and small, so why even add it to our plate? All In all, the experience was great, and the s’mores at the end are a pleasant touch after working the grill. Just wish some of our pieces were cut better.

Our whole evening was marred by being seated next to a 10 year old birthday party with about a dozen kids whose parents couldn’t care less how much noise they made. Annoyed that our hostess seated us there just because we went there with my son and daughter. It was so loud we couldn’t even finish our dinner it and had to rush out. When we complained about noise they offered to move us to the bar - which doesn’t work when you have a three year old! Won’t be going there again.

Review №77

My sister made ressos via open table for a Mothers Day lunch and somehow we scored the private room in the back. The seating was a bit weird, as in you were sitting pretty close to the ground on these weird seats, but it wasnt uncomfortable - just different. Ive been to the Gyu Kaku in the East Village for dinner but I think my experience in the Midtown East one was a lot better (this might have also been due to the private room - made us feel like VIPs).For our party of six, we ordered two sets. I cant remember exactly which two but we had a ton of food including salad, miso soup, bibimbap, fried rice, shrimp, chicken, various cuts of beef, it was just A LOT. It was a little bit of everything, which was nice because we got to try a lot of things. Everyone was stuffed. It was a little bit too much food (since we also ordered some dumplings and calamari to start with), but we were still able to finish everything.Tip - they have a great happy hour menu. Its half off drinks and certain food items. My favorite is the spicy tuna volcano.

Review №78

I’ve lived in Japan for 20+ years and was always a big fan of GyuKaku in Mukogaoka-Yuen. The selections are a bit different but the experience is very similar. The service at this resturant is good and was worth the trip to here (the other store near Times Square is nigh impossible to get a table during lunch time).I have a rating system when it comes to tipping and the staff here passed with flying colors (except 1). Although one person forgot to bring the soup and salad, I saw another person check my table and reminded the person that forgot. I never had to ask for anything and they did the drink refills and checkins at a good pace. Definitely 4/5 stars for the service alone.

I didn’t get any photos of the food we cooked or s’mores only video. So these are a few screenshots. The garlic shrimp was amazingggg as well as the seasoned meat that came with the $55 deal for 2 people. Four stars only because I wish the drinks were a bit more strong.

Review №96

The staff seemed to be all over the place and didn’t really know what they were doing. I went yesterday with 2 other friends and decided on the lunch combo, which comes with miso soup, salad, and white rice. One of my friends and I decided on upgrading to garlic fried rice, which is $3 extra. Our raw meat comes in after the soup and salad along with only 1 bowl of white rice and no garlic fried rice. The garlic fried rice didn’t come in for almost half an hour and we even told one of the servers that we didn’t get the garlic fried rice (our server only came once to check up on us the entire time we were there so we had to tell someone else). Last time I checked, everyone sitting at a particular table ordering food should be getting their food at the same time. Or has it been that long in the pandemic that these staff have forgotten how to run a restaurant? Cherry on top: our bill came out to be $10 more than it should have been and we told one of the servers that the bill looked more expensive than it should be. She was rambling on about the tip and being pushy about it when a portion of our order was missing for most of the time and they were trying to steal money right in front of our faces. Would give one star, but the Kalbi chuck rib was delicious.TL;DR Paid extra for garlic fried rice that came in 30 mins late for no reason even after telling them we didn’t receive the portions. Bill was confusing to read and came up to be $10 more than it should’ve been.

So we visited the two branches of this place, the one at 44th street was so good with fantastic experience from the amazing waiter named Em. This place has more of an average customer experience where you are too rushed, the waiters are not attentive and the quality of food is not as great. If you don’t like this branch, give the other branch a shot, you won’t regret it.

Been here several times, and have always enjoyed my experience. The food is excellent for the price. Some spots are remote and romantic if youre interested in that. It offers a good view of the street and buildings surrounding the corner.
