Gyu-kaku Japanese Bbq - New York

Came here a few times. Most recently with my co worker for lunch. The lunch special is a really good deal in my opinion. The BBQ is really good. The servers have been respectful as well. The lychee mojito cocktail is also delicious.

Had reservations for Sunday at 7pm. They sat us right at 7. Service was good and quick. We ordered a set menu for 2 and added a Wagyu and a couple appetizers. Everything was good. The rice and salad they mix for you and put in bowls for you. We picked a set menu with no dessert. We didn’t have room for it anyways. Pork belly and Wagyu are both very good but not if you over cook it. The garlic shrimp was also very good. I signed up for the app when we were paying and saved 15%! Miriam was a great server and helped us use it. Everything I saw was booths and they have plexiglass separators still up for Covid. They do have time limit but we didn’t have any issues. I liked how they had 3 sauces on the table. My favorite was the sweet soy. My husbands was the spicy. They have happy hour pricing so if you can come during those times you can save quite a bit on drinks. Not so much savings on food.

Fun Japanese BBQ experience in the center of New York City. I went to one in Chicago before and the meat in this location feels much fresher. Our favorite was wagyu beef, which “melt” like butter in mouth. Some of the other meat that came with the group package was okay. Be careful to not overcook the meat, especially chicken which can easily get burned and stick to the pan. The small plates are also great, especially the corn, tofu, and the signature tuna one. The price was reasonable for a group of 6 people.

This restaurant is delicious and so fun. They have an awesome menu with so many items to choose from. Each table has its’ own grill and you can order as much or as little as you want. I had the spicy pork, hanger steak, and mixed vegetables. I recommend the lychee martini too. Highly recommend and cannot wait to go back.

This place is amazing! The food is so good. There was 6 of us and we all found something we really enjoyed. The staff was friendly and beyond efficient. They had everything served and cleared at just the right times. We got the meal for 6 and there was just the right amount for all of us. Would definitely recommend this to anyone in the area. Will be going again when we get back to NYC.
