Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ

I really enjoyed this restaurant. They have seats by the doors that open up to the outside which makes it a great spot to seat and people watch. I highly recommend this place for any type of date, lunch or dinner. Our waitress was Cassidy and she was very nice and attentive. I definitely give her 5 stars. The food was good. I went during lunch and they have a lunch special for 2 or 3 proteins, which is more than enough food. The lunch comes with salad, white rice, and soup. You definitely have to learn where to place the meat on the grate. Next time I will do better at not burning some of my meat....

Everything was great! Food was amazing and our server Aaron was very attentive and ensured we were well taken care of!

Gyukaku Chicago location, this wasn’t worth over $200 in any circumstance. First of all, all of Gyukaku in Japan(LA as well) has iPad to order at table but this location didn’t have it so we had to wait for our server to come and get our next meat choices every single time….🙄🤷🏻‍♀️ Whose idea was that to get rid of iPads…?🤦🏻‍♀️ We chose “supreme” AYCE option only for Kalbi Short Ribs and it wasn’t good at all. Plus I had to pay “Park Chicago” app $20 since I was out of town ($20 was the lowest to load on the app to park and the parking meter was broken). I love Korean BBQ in general but this location has a lot to improve if they want to be any closer to real Korean BBQ. I was very disappointed.

First time coming for Japanese BBQ, very different experience from our usual Hot Pot outing. Came during the afternoon so we were able to be seated right away. We did the $48 Premium selection course. Got to pick whichever items we wanted from that portion of the menu. All the meats that we selected were very delicious, especially the spicy pork & shrimp. Favorite vegetable was the garlic mushrooms. I also really liked the fact that we could control the grill temperature at our table. Must places have a pre-set heat so this was really a plus for us. Our waitress was very attentive as well, checking up on us, making sure everything was going okay. Even went & changed our grill plate halfway through once it started getting charred. 100% had an amazing time for our first visit. Will definitely come again in the future.

I was passing by and decided to try Gyy-Kaku Japanese BBQ. I had not made a reservation, but they were able to accommodate me. Thank you 😊. I had fried calamari, fried pork dumplings, grilled some beef and pork belly myself with white rice and Napa Kimchi 🤤. Yummy! I won't forget the hot sake 💃🏼 Until next time 💞

Omg, the most delicious thing I've had in my mouth in awhile 😋 lol. I love the set up and atmosphere. I thought us cooking at the table would throw me off but it was a lovely experience and the meat was delicious. Will definitely be going back.

The service, the decor, the quality all remind me what I had back in Japan. HOWEVER, there were still some dishes may make you frown. The fried chicken was not juicy as what I expected, the coating was more than actual meat. The sushi... If you don't know how to make one, just don't pretended that you know how to... the rice just fell apart even I picked it up with my hands.... But back to BBQ itself, it's amazing. And the udon, you will be surprise how good that is!

This is a perfect place for a nice date cooking your own meat great Ramen all the food is great here so try it out tou want regret it I might go here this week 😋 ✌️
