Gaku Restaurant is a Japanese restaurant that offers traditional dishes such as takowasa, ika sugatayaki, yakitori, and ankimo. The yakitori, including negi beef tongue, oroshi galbi, and pork belly, is a highlight of the restaurant. The hamachi collar was found to be a bit disappointing as it was cold and lacked flavor. The otoro sashimi was fresh, but not as fatty as expected. The ontama rice, topped with a poached egg, kombu sauce, and scallions, is a simple and delicious dish to pair with the skewers. The restaurant has a bilingual menu and some waitstaff who speak both Japanese and English. The parking lot is small, but the food and atmosphere make up for it.
