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!

My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of visiting the Gyu in Tokyo and it was nothing compared to the one in Chicago. They didn’t have many options and we were left feeling underwhelmed. Today we redeemed ourselves! My boyfriend ate every crumb and raved about how this was the best dinner he had in a long time! Thank you Gyu Chicago for always knowing how to treat us!

I recently had a delightful dining experience at a Japanese BBQ spot that really stood out for its warm atmosphere and delicious food. The highlight of the evening was definitely our waitress, Erica, who was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. She made our meal enjoyable and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The variety of dishes offered was impressive, and the flavors were truly authentic. Every bite was a treat! However, I did encounter a minor issue with my shrimp entrée, as there was a piece of hair in it. While this was a bit disappointing, I believe it’s something that can easily be addressed. I would recommend that the kitchen staff consider using hairnets or some type of hair covering to prevent this from happening in the future. Overall, I highly recommend this Japanese BBQ spot for its excellent service, especially from Erica, and its delicious offerings. I look forward to returning and enjoying another wonderful meal!

The service was very slow. We waited for a while to get someone to seat us. There was a sign when we walked to to let us know someone would be up shortly. That was 5-10 mintes. The place was probably 25% full when we got there. The service after we were seated was slow as well. The food was great, but they may need to bring more people to help serve their customers.

First time there but also last time. $65 per person to be told you are on a time limit, reminded several times that you can only order 2 pieces a person when you order 3 being with another person. It’s just not relaxing and the meat is mediocre at best.
