A Thanksgiving Feast to Remember at Gyu-Kaku! My daughter and I decided to switch things up this Thanksgiving and embark on a foodie adventure, and Gyu-Kaku turned out to be the perfect choice for our dinner. We shared the two-person Meat Lovers meal, and it was an absolute feast! The variety and quality of the meats were incredible. Each cut was tender, flavorful, and fun to grill right at our table. The meal included generous portions of beef short rib, skirt steak, pork belly, and chicken, all beautifully marinated with their signature sauces. The dipping sauces added even more layers of flavor, and we couldn’t decide which was our favorite! The sides complemented the meal perfectly—delicious rice, fresh veggies, and those umami-packed Gyu-Kaku salads were delightful additions. The ambiance was lively yet cozy, making it a fun and interactive dining experience for us both. What truly stood out was the friendly and attentive service. The staff made sure we had everything we needed and took the time to explain the grilling process, which added to the overall experience. For Thanksgiving, this was such a unique and memorable way to celebrate. Gyu-Kaku is perfect for foodies, families, or anyone who enjoys interactive dining and high-quality food. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

We had the holiday special which included various starters and sides and various meats for bbq. Good value for money. We re from the UK and I don’t think there is one in the UK unfortunately or we will be returning.

Since I do not eat pork, I order the turkey tips. They are extremely tender and delicious! 

The brisket and burnt ends were melt in your mouth delicious! We will be back.

We were a little underwhelmed considering we had heard great things before coming here. Service was great and the cocktails we each had were amazing, but the food was just average.
