Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ opens near Union Square | Eater Denver

"A new Japanese yakiniku (grilled barbecue) restaurant has opened in the Union Station neighborhood, occupying about 3,000 square feet at Union Denver alongside the new Whole Foods Market and marking the brand’s first location in downtown Denver. Part of a worldwide chain with hundreds of locations across the U.S. and roughly 700 restaurants globally, the restaurant offers a tabletop grilling experience where diners cook proteins over a grill at the center of every table. Signature items include Harami skirt steak in a miso marinade and certified Angus kalbi short ribs in a tare (sweet soy) marinade; the menu also features noodle bowls, rice dishes, vegetable options, pork dumplings, fried bacon chips, and Japanese fried chicken. Its name is pronounced GEW-KAH-KOO and means “horn of the bull” in Japanese. The restaurant is open nightly from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m." - Susan Stapleton
