    Had a great time at Gyu-Kaku but a few hiccups. The meal promotion booked via OpenTable app wasn’t honoured which was surprising. Ended up selecting a more expensive option. Loved the interactive BBQ experience but better ventilation is needed to reduce the smokey smell. Despite this, the food and service were excellent, making it an enjoyable Christmas brunch. Would visit again!

    This BBQ house is a family-favorite of ours. It is a marvelous chance to interact with your dining partners while cooking the food to your specifications. We especially like the Kalbi Short Rib and the broccoli.

    I’ve frequented many Japanese and Korean BBQ restaurants. This was a bit expensive with little value. Meats weren’t as flavorful.
