My parents and I visited this location on 11/26, and we shared the meat variety platter. Everything was delicious and well-marinated. The Harami hotpot and the yaki-shabu were our favorites!
We’ve been coming here for 15 years, and this visit reminded us why we keep coming back. Big thanks to the whole Gyu-Kaku crew! Special thanks to our server, Henry—he made sure my parents and I felt very taken care of, and we really appreciated his recommendations and helping us get the best value for our needs.
Only one small suggestion (not a big deal): our rice was brought toward the end of the meal, after we had already finished our meats. It would have been nice to have it served at the beginning but we understand the restaurant was busy.

Located on Kapoolani Blvd, this spot offers a warm, family-friendly vibe , complete with a welcoming staff. I savored the shrimps, garlic noodles, and spicy tofu Chigae Soup – all at prices that won’t break the bank, given Hawaii’s expensive lifestyle.

We went to this restaurant for lunch AYCE. Service was great from Jordan. The meats were just ok though and limited meat options. They were not top quality and too chewy. Maybe dinner would be better with the more expensive options. Would not go back for lunch.

We ate here on Christmas Eve, and it was hands down one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. The restaurant was busy (as expected on a holiday), but everything ran smoothly, the food came out fast, and the quality was absolutely on point. Every cut of meat was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly—exactly what you want from a Japanese BBQ spot.
What really made the night stand out was the manager, Dylan. He was attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure everyone was having a great experience. He checked in without hovering, handled the holiday rush effortlessly, and made us feel truly taken care of. You can tell he runs a tight ship and leads by example.
Between the amazing food, the festive atmosphere, and Dylan’s top-tier management, Christmas Eve dinner couldn’t have gone better. We’ll absolutely be back and will be recommending this place to anyone looking for great food and even better service.

Came for a birthday dinner while on vacation. We went during happy hour so some appetizers and dishes were discounted. Food was yummy and served quickly! Dan our server was friendly and extremely accommodating! He honestly made our night! He was suggesting a bunch of places to check out in the area and made sure we have everything we needed at the table. I had to take out a star since I found the place filthy in some areas especially the restroom, hopefully they take immediate action to this problem.

The food in and of itself was delicious and the group experience was nice but this location had a few issues. My group chose the 45 item ea 90 minute all you can eat special. In the beginning it took about 15 minutes for two severs to figure out how to light one of our grills. Then there was the flow of food to the table. The first trip was fine (you are limited to how many item you can order at a single time) but for every order afterwards the portions got not only progressively smaller they also started taking longer and longer to get to the table. I could not help but begin ro feel as if this was intentionally. There was an item that I had to order three separate times before it finally came eating up a lot of the preset time alloted. I had a two year old with me and apparently the location had only a single highchair for the entire restaurant (a lot of booster seats though). Finally the restroom seemingly very old making it look dirty even though I do not think it actually was plus there was no baby changing station. From 0600 (6am) hours to 1800 (6pm) you have to find public parking wich is pretty difficult especially if you have a larger vehicle although after 1800 you are allowed to park on the street just outside the resturant door which is obviously much more convenient.

When I sat down, it took more than 10 minutes before a server came to me. That’s no big deal but then they messed up my order. Which again not a big deal. The dealbreaker was when I was eating, a roach crawled onto the table. Lol. No joke. Also, the Wagyu, was not as good as the USDA, but $10 more. I had a couple pieces that looked partially old and discolored. The Kalbi short rib slice hit though and the waiters tried their best to accommodate for the mistakes and inconveniences. 3 stars 🙂

I had lunch with my uncle and aunty and had the 2 meat choice for $14.95 with miso soup, rice, and salad and you get to grill the food. Everything turned out great.

Here’s my honest review:
✨Location✨
A great location right outside of Ala Moana mall. With a parking lot that does validating parking and a quick drive to Ala Moana Beach Park where you can catch a beautiful sunset and some waves
✨Price✨
I Love that they do tiered pricing so that anyone can afford to go here. The absolute best deal is going during lunch time. I love that lunches also on the weekends.
✨Ambiance✨
This is very much the Japanese vibe. When you come in you will be greeted by all staff. I think the staff are super helpful and willing to get you anything you need. They frequently check on you and make sure you’re not running low on water. It’s a low light environment which I think brings the ambience
✨Drinks✨
We didn’t get a drink
✨Recommendation✨
I would say If you’re hungry it’s definitely a good spot. Similar vibes to a buffet, all you can eat, and good quality
✨Food✨
I have done everything up until the last tiered menu and honestly you can get quite a lot of options on the lunch menu. Everything is good quality sometimes they’re sold out but they always let you know ahead of time. I think it’s a great touch that you get to have fire roasted s’mores at the end.
✨Customer Service✨
I think the customer service was great. I never ran out of water. They routinely checked in

We stopped in to try this place out for dinner, we got the late night 4 person combo dinner, although it says for 4 people two average people would be able to finish off most of it quite easily. The meat was very small and thing pieces for quick grilling but the veggies where mostly just onions. A better variety would be a lot better.
