THE WORST GYU KAKU EVEERRRRR...My Girlfriends and I are VERY frequent/regulars at the Gyu Kaku in Pasadena on Green st. but i came to this huntington branch for my friends birthday one night and wow...it honestly made me think twice about coming back to ANY Gyu Kaku period....First off..the atmosphere was awkward and too quiet. Secondly, the servers were terrible looking/sloppy and disrespectful. They accused our group (who ended up spending a thousand dollars there) that one of our friends vomitted on their front door just ... read more

It's not Japanese! – This place has the worst service ever. The food is mediocre, service is sooooo slow and I am offended they call it Japanese BBQ. The workers are not Japanese but non-asians would never know. The greeting in Japanese they give at the door doesn't even make sense!! The management is awful. If you are looking for a truly wonderful Japanese BBQ restaurant, go to Anjin in Costa Mesa. Go early because there is always a minimum of a hour wait. The short rib soup is to die for, quality and marinate on the meat i... read more

LOVES IT! How Can You Not?! – After being a gyu kaku regular, I hadn?t been to the one in Beverly hills for quite a while. I was surprised to see that they had a new decor considering all the newer built ones were looking much better than this one but now they are definitely on top. our waiter forgot my cocktail and I never cared to mention it and it was not on our bill. So that aggravated me because I was in denial that he really forgot so I just was over it. My favorite is the harami miso I always get 2 orders of that and ... read more

Worst quality meat I've ever seen at a "Japanese" BBQ – I have been to Gyu-kaku in Japan and was expecting the same quality, but I was sadly mistaken. Compared to other Japanese BBQ in Orange County, Gyu-kaku was by far the worst. I will say that Gyu-kaku's atmosphere in Orange County is great- dark and intimate, but the dark lighting is just there to cover their old and browning meat. When I told the waiter the meat was brown, he said, "that's the way some of them are." And to add insult to injury, the sake over priced and ... read more

Great service and good food – It was my first time for Japanese BBQ and I was satisfied with the dinner. The meat was fresh and well marinated (i.e. tasty...). Portions were a little small but thats ok...just double up on the dishes. However, I must say that if you are in the mood for an Asian style BBQ, then you are better off going to a Korean restaurtant. Almost forgot, the service was excellent. The servers were friendly, attentive and took the time to explain the different dishes. The place is a must try!

A Painful Experience – Once my party was finally seated and served (this took a loooong time), I began to enjoy the food and service. At one point I noticed that some of the meat had a tart taste, like it was a bit off. This was a bad omen. I spent the next two days in bed spewing and wracked with stomach cramps. A terrible experience never to be repeated. I feel it my duty to warn anyone thinking of going to Gyu-Kaku (Midtown): Don't do it!

Really Terrible – They served us moldy food, literally (I took a picture). That's bad enough, but in addition, the draught beer was flat, and 50% frozen. The manager behaved like a moron to boot. We got up and left. Unless you enjoy eating stuff that belongs in the garbage and not on a plate, avoid this place like the plague.

i love LOVE Gyu- kaku – japanese bbq at it's best. Plus its an extra "fun"bonus that you cook your own food. Everything always tasted so fresh and is always promptly. Staples are avocado and ahi salad app., garlic shrimp, miso steak, ahi tuna, and the signature rice....you can't go wrong!
