    Came for dinner here last night, at Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ in Waikiki, Honolulu, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional—the staff were friendly, welcoming, and made sure our evening was both fun and seamless. The interactive aspect of cooking our own food right at the table added an exciting and engaging touch to the meal. The variety of meats and marinades was fantastic, each one bursting with flavor and quality that exceeded expectations. The servers were attentive and knowledgeable, providing helpful recommendations and ensuring that everything was cooked to perfection. Whether you’re a first-timer or a BBQ enthusiast, this place offers an amazing and unique dining experience. The atmosphere was lively yet relaxed, perfect for both friends and family gatherings. I can’t wait to come back for another memorable meal! Highly recommend Gyu-Kaku for anyone visiting Waikiki.

    Casual place. Good prices. Nice waitress. Great food. Highly recommend. You cook your own food at a heating stove at your table. Give it a try.
