Founded in Tokyo in 1996, Gyu-Kaku has become the world’s #1 Japanese BBQ brand! Thanks to our devoted fans we have reached over 700 locations worldwide. Each day, hundreds of thousands of people gather around the table-top smokeless grill, a centerpiece of our dining concept, enjoying selections of premium meats, just off the grill, and other freshly prepared foods from our kitchens, inspiring laughter, conversation, and a magical dining experience.

Our authentic yakiniku (grilled barbeque) dining experience crowns you the chef. Share a variety of delicious appetizers and premium cooked meats over a flaming grill, paired with Japanese sake, frosty cold beers, or other alcoholic and non-alcoholic options of your choice. We're the perfect spot to enjoy time with friends and family, organize an office party, or to spend quality time with your significant other!

Before you go, don't forget to taste our best-seller Harami Skirt Steak or Prime Kalbi Short Rib among other must-try dishes!

    Had a 5 star experience at dinner with 10 other gentlemen. They were gracious and put us on the 3rd floor with the in-ground dinning long table. The food was delicious, cooking at our own desired pace and level made it that much more enjoyable. Would highly recommend to anyone going with a big group looking to have a great dinner or celebrate with friends.

    I've been to this location several times and have always had excellent service and suggestions. The staff is all really helpful and attentive. Any of the prepared food we have ordered has been on point. It is quite loud so having a conversation can be difficult, but that is the nature of this style of restaurant.
