"The first Washington location of Japanese sensation Gyu-Kaku is now “softly open” in Bellevue, which just means it’s taking a limited number of reservations as the staff eases into full swing. The international chain specializes in yakiniku, Japan’s version of Korean barbecue. The menu showcases signature dry-aged, miso-brushed beef, and this outpost may add a few local specialties." - Megan Hill
