Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ

jay worley a month ago

Come here often for special occasions and me and my family always love it! We visited again today and our waitress Dayanna was such a sweetheart, took amazing care of us even tho she had just gotten a huge table and was the only waiter running plates. Please make sure she stays employed because she is wonderful! We came around noon as a party of 3 so just able to walk in, but if you want to come in the evening or any time on the weekends I would definitely recommend a reservation ahead of time.

We were a party if 4 at the restaurant and had a very bad experience with the restaurant. There was a approx 30 minute delay in delivering our meat, there was smoke all over our clothes from poor ventilation. The restaurant management here was very disappointing and poor. Our sever Tobi was great and able to mitigate the problem we had very well. However the manager is not able to manage his staff well and has led to undue stress on staff and poor service. Do not recommend this place and will not be coming back.

My family and I usually love Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ. It’s one of our go-to spots because my kids get to interact it’s like Korean BBQ, but Japanese style, and normally such a fun experience. But today was honestly VERY disappointing. As you can see in the photos, the fire was way too high and smoke was constantly blowing directly into our faces and my kids. It was uncomfortable the entire time. On top of that, the two servers (both with slicked-back hair, a little longer on the sides) kept bringing out more food even though our table was already full. There was literally no space, and it just made everything more chaotic. What really bothered me is they walked by multiple times, clearly saw what was going on, and never once checked on us or tried to fix it. We’ve had great experiences here before, but this visit was so unpleasant it completely ruined it for us. I do want to mention that we’ve had really great service here before. The shorter, thinner gentleman and the two female servers we’ve had in the past have always been attentive, kind, and on top of everything they’re honestly amazing. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case today. The service we received this time didn’t match th

I went for the first time and absolutely loved it! We got a combo for 6 people (even though we were only five), and it was more than enough — the food just kept coming! We even had leftovers to take home. It cost $270 total for 5 people, including food and beers, and it was totally worth it for the amount and quality. You cook everything yourself, which makes it such a fun and interactive experience. They offer all kinds of meat cuts — my favorites were the skirt steak and brisket. Also giving 5 stars to the fried rice with onions and beef — sooo perfect. Definitely a must-try! I’ll for sure go back soon and bring more friends and family. It’s the perfect spot for big groups. Only downside is you leave a bit sticky from the smoke, but honestly, no big deal. Bonus: they have an app you can download to earn points and get free food on future visits. Can’t believe I didn’t know about this place before, easily one of the best spots I’ve found lately!

Would have never known about this place if it wasn’t for DineLA! Did their lunch special and I’m so happy I did. I chose the meat option C which was beef and spicy pork. The portion size was perfect for lunch and I even took a bit leftover for dinner. The service was prompt and they even had my favorite plum wine at a very reasonable $7 HH price. Absolutely would come back! Thanks to the great staff as well!
