What robert king doesn't like about Gyu-kaku Japanese Bbq:
Exceptional service with a smile. Lousy food prep. Kitchen staff needs proper training to prepare meat for BBQ. Lopsided cuts. Couldn’t determine if the prep cooks are cutting corners to save or incompetent. View all feedback. What User likes about Gyu-kaku Japanese Bbq:
We had so much fun here. Great experience and food was delicious! The staff was so friendly and efficient. Very recommend getting the All You Can Eat so you can try everything! View all feedback.

Best Yakinikku ever in Hawaii. Restraunt offers $35 of unlimited deal and it's worth it

Food and service were both fantastic. If you have an opportunity to go, I would absolutely take advantage of it.

Excellent food and service. A nice comfortable setting and delicious food! I couldn't stop eating!

Update: 3-4 times. Every time. Lunch Special is such a good deal. Less than $14, get 3 barbecue items (meat, veggie, several to choose from). Rice, soup and sal...
