Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ - Richmond

Amazing food. Love grilling at the table. Quality top notch ? Polite staff, helpful in suggestions for first timers. All around great experience. Amazing!

Same price as before but all the amount halved. I prefer same amount but double the price. Pretending to maintain the original price is simply scam. Our bill contains dishes that we had never ordered, and the value of these fake dishes adds up to 90+ bucks. The waiter asked us to review the bill based on our memory and the bill end up being reprinted twice. Now this is unacceptable, customer should not be forced to remember all the orders. Worse than that, what if we failed to recall everything? Being forced to pay that 90 bucks? One wrong bill might occur by accident, twice means scam and there is no excuse. Used to be a good restaurant, but not anymore. Will not visit again and recommend everyone to go somewhere else.

Food was excellent , fresh and very filling. Friendly staff and atmosphere was great

?Trying to make reservations all the time but can’t get through the phone calls. So just went to the store and wait for an hour;( ?The quality of the meat is just at average level, ordered a three person meal, a little bit too many for us. LOVE the salad and sweet corn(!! Literally SO GOOD). Dessert was okay but just too full to taste them. ?Service was OK, the waitress looks too busy to explain what the meat is and how to cook to make it taste better. ?Will try again on a weekday, don’t want to wait for too long;))

First time I had gyukaku was in Japan, this one was just as good quality as the ones in Japan! Very good stuff love gyukaku, only one minor thing is the rice is not as good as the Japan ones but Rice in Japan is very good so not their fault on that. Overall very good stuff and fun place to eat.

I tried their other location on Broadway, that's why I am a bit disappointed about the Richmond one. The seats are not comfortable. Lighting too dark. Overall environment is not very enjoyable. Food is average but service is above average. Price is fair too. If you like Japanese grill, it could be a good choice.

It’s our third time dining here, and every time we crave for bbq grill, we frequent this place as its quite nearby our home plus the food is great. The meat marinate is delicious especially for pork and chicken paired with their shredded cabbage with roasted garlic sides. Beef wise, just ok for me. I love how the taste of that burnt charcoal on the meat is incorporated. We also ordered for takoyaki, karaage , crispy bacon , shrimp with mayo for appetizer, but actually you can pair it with rice as main. Takoyaki is not cheap tasting, my wife loves the shrimp with mayo though I find it salty for me but it is really good. Karaage on the other hand is good though I wish it could have been crispier while the crispy bacon is just right ,you can dash a pinch of salt and lemon juice too for both . We also ordered for kids menu, similar to adult choices but in small portions. It comes with corn kernels , chicken and pork marinate for grill and green beans. Small portion but serves like an adult combo meal for a kid. As for dessert, we tried the smores, and matcha tiramisu. It’s cool that they will provide you skewers to roast the marshmallows and put it in the crackers with chocolate slices . The matcha , tiramisu is not too sweet, you can taste the “tea” in it which is not overpowering. Service wise, staff is courteous, customer service is fantastic. They will make dining experience with convenience and comfort The best part is that I thought our order will come up to a hundred over dollars but surprisingly, its only $67 and that included the tax and tip. I gave 4 stars because of the long waiting time.with or without appointment.

Honestly, this has become my go to for Korean/Japanese BBQ. I Can't stop raving about how flavorful the meat is!! We ordered the chefs favorites for 2 people and we walked out full. The sauces add an extra kick of flavor to the already tasty food. I highly recommend this place. Service was exceptional as well. Very friendly and attentive to your needs.
