Gyu-kaku Japanese Bbq - Chicago

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.

First time eating Japanese BBQ. Had the 3 meat selection lunch special which came with miso soup, a salad (it has peppers on it, so next time will ask to remove those , and white rice which I upgraded to a delicious (and generous portion of garlic friedrice. I picked two different steaks and a pork to cook and enjoy at the table. They all tasted great even without the sauceoptions you can add at the table which include sweet soy, ponzu, and spicy. I liked the first two sauces, not a fan of anything spicy anyway. I wish I lived in Chicago so I could enjoy this restaurant more! (Was just in town to see the awesome band TheWarning at the Bottom Lounge on the back side of the same block. If I return to Chicago, would definitely repeat visit! Ask forBarbara, she took good care of this patron.

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 myexperience 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 mealand I think it?s worth checking out, especially for their lunch menu!

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 wasbrought 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.

Very fun place to cook your own meal tableside. Grills get a bit warm so room can get warm as a result so dress accordingly. Casual, high value meal. I recommend the chefs choice for 2. Just the right amount of food. Best kimchee!
