Founded in Tokyo in 1996, Gyu-Kaku has become the world’s #1 Japanese BBQ brand! Thanks to our devoted fans we have reached over 700 locations worldwide. Each day, hundreds of thousands of people gather around the table-top smokeless grill, a centerpiece of our dining concept, enjoying selections of premium meats, just off the grill, and other freshly prepared foods from our kitchens, inspiring laughter, conversation, and a magical dining experience.

Our authentic yakiniku (grilled barbeque) dining experience crowns you the chef. Share a variety of delicious appetizers and premium cooked meats over a flaming grill, paired with Japanese sake, frosty cold beers, or other alcoholic and non-alcoholic options of your choice. We're the perfect spot to enjoy time with friends and family, organize an office party, or to spend quality time with your significant other!

Before you go, don't forget to taste our best-seller Harami Skirt Steak or Prime Kalbi Short Rib among other must-try dishes!

    The food and the service are excellent. It is consistent, and the lunch combo is very well priced. If you are not sure, try the lunch special, and you will be hooked. Give them a try.

    Fantastic meal with fabulous service. We had a few guests who had never been there before and our server, Lauren, made sure to explain the menu and offer terrific recommendations. Everything was delicious, the setting was lovely without being loud and all of the staff were welcoming and helpful. We will definitely be back.

    From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with the nicest hostess. You can tell she loved her job because she was SO nice to everyone, we heard her saying bye to all the customers as they were leaving. This was a first for us, and we loved the experience. The food was really good and we will definitely be back again, when visiting the area. My husband enjoyed it so much, he said it was great for his A.D.D. 😆. Our kids would enjoy it too so can’t wait to bring them next time.
