Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ

Went here for friend’s birthday lunch. Everything was good. We even got the happy hour special. Four people. Bill was under $200 including tips. Still one of the best Japanese BBQ I been to. Only thing not so good is finding parking sometimes.

Great food and good customer service. Location is good, it's easier to find parking in comparison to the downtown location. Quality of meat is excellent....

Hostess's attitude and professionalism = 0 out of 5 Our server, Danny = 5 out of 5 Overall food quality = 4 out of 5

I went for the lunch because their lunch menu is way cheaper and it comes with two meat options, miso soup, salad, and a large bowl of rice for $13.99. I was satisfied with the amount I was given. The meat quality was good. I’m Korean, so I was basing my experience at Gyu-Kaku with kbbq. It’s very similar, but I felt like there wasn’t anything special or different with the meats. Kbbq is marinated in a sweat way, so it’s unique, but Jbbq seemed plain. You do get 3 sauces to dip the meat. I enjoyed my meal and I think it’s worth checking out, especially for their lunch menu!

My first time having japanese bbq. 1. meat quality was good 2. soups are extremely salty, basically inedible 3. sukiyaki bibimbop was plain and unflavored...

New favorite restaurant!! The service was great, our server was so kind and polite. (He even gave me a free dessert because it was my birthday! I got green tea icecream soooo tasty) The entire lunch was delicious and the timing in which everything was brought out was perfect. So many meats to choose from and every one I tried was mouth watering and made you want more and more. No disappointment at all, definitely reccomend and definitely will be coming back.

I loved my meal here. Its fun to grill your own meat! I had the filet mignon and garlic chicken noodles and one beer and the total was only $21. That's crazy good for a restaurant like this in downtown Chicago. In fact when I sent pics to a friend he guessed the cost was double... Also I don't know if it was on purpose but the staff gave me my beer ($3.50) for free. Thank you!! 😊

We got the meat lovers set ($70 for two - but it fed the three of us). High quality meat and a good variety of appetizers. Excellent service. The waiter checked on us regularly and made sure we were having a good time. Would definitely come again!

The service, the decor, the quality all remind me what I had back in Japan. HOWEVER, there were still some dishes may make you frown. The fried chicken was not juicy as what I expected, the coating was more than actual meat. The sushi... If you don't know how to make one, just don't pretended that you know how to... the rice just fell apart even I picked it up with my hands.... But back to BBQ itself, it's amazing. And the udon, you will be surprise how good that is!
