Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ

Had a great team, will definitely come back again.

Great place! Was a bit crowded and loud, server was attentive.

First time having Japanese KBBQ! Great quality meat. Servers were very nice. Ended with smore’s and ice cream. On the pricey side, but worth it for the AYCE experience.

My kids like it. It's decent occasionally.

FYI: All You Can Eat is before 8pm Monday-Thursday

The food was great! They were so attentive to us but in the end we couldn’t find them. We wanted to try the dessert but said no.

reserved a table two days before. Just being late for 20 minutes and the server put us at the end of the waitlist and ask for 1-hour wait. Unreasonable

Wonderful Japanese food, now with all you can eat, but not all days of the week. Great food and options!

It was a really nice experience, my wife and I ordered the value pack for 2 and it was a perfect amount of food.

Their meats never disappoint. Always leaving satisfied. 😋

Great japanese barbecue selection, we took a combo menu for six, the quality was great, especially the marinated beef. The quantity was perfect.We had a very nice evening among friends

The taste and quality are perfect

Very close to a 5, but the service suffered. I'll end with that.

I rarely have Japanese BBQ; normally Korean, but this one was gooooood!

We had several appetizers. Edamame covered in garlic. I mean, seriously a lot of raw, minced garlic. I think I'd get the normal one next time. Fried gyoza also good, but the steamed chili dumplings were VERY good. Spicy volcano tuna looked awesome but was just ok: tuna poke on deep fried rice ball. Karage with ponzu side sauce was yummy. And the fried rice sizzles in a hot bowl in front of you. I like the charred rice that sticks to the bowl.

All the meats were delicious. Very tender, high quality meat. And they cook really quickly. We had premium beef (kalbi short rib) and standard beef (beef rib, NY steak). And we were compelled to try pork belly. Not sure why we didn't try seafood, but we were pretty full already.

It gets very busy and I highly recommend reservations. Walk-in for dinner on the weekend probably over an hour wait. The inside is nice. Not overly cramped and is well lit.

We sat in the covered outside area in the back of the restaurant which is right along Steven's Creek Blvd. The back is quite nice. But it was cold and they struggled to get the heaters working. Then they dragged heaters away from us to another table. We fussed and they got 3 guys working on getting another heater working.

To say I am disappointed will be an understatement.

After waiting for 1 hr & 25 minutes for a patio seat, I finally got in.

I was with a party of four people,
which the restaurant people knew from the very beginning but still they made us sit in a small table which could barely accommodate plates & glasses along with the grill. That’s a big negative for me from the get-go.

The server, he was in such a rush that we could barely understand what he was saying.

Now the food, which we got after a long wait. It was utterly disappointing. There were no flavors in the meat. They were bland and super boring. Even the miso soup was yuck.

It’s a tapas style restaurant, so you are looking at really really small portions of meat. We tried the set menu for two people, which was not enough at all. We had to order extra portions of meat.

Basic things were missing in this restaurant. I don’t know why people gave such high reviews about this place.

Food was served, but there was no chopsticks/spoon or anything.

When I asked a server, how do I drink the miso soup he says in Japan people drink it from the bowl. HELLO we are not in Japan so that was a very stupid answer which I got.

Asked for four spoons got only one. Multiple reminders had to be given to the server for plates and tissues, etc..

The ambience to be honest sucks in this restaurant.
Inside was so noisy and claustrophobic with people speaking on the top of their voice it will give a headache to anybody. Outside was dirty. The heaters were not enough and the service was pathetic.

Dave your money go somewhere else. Skip this place!!

Happy hours on Monday, comes out to be about 50-70 bucks for two people depending on your appetite and how much you drink which for this kind of BBQ is VERY affordable for the south bay. Great food, the pre-marinated pork is my favorite.
