Gyu-Kaku, meaning Horn of the Bull in Japanese, provides an authentic Japanese yakiniku (barbecue) dining experience where guests share various small plates and premium cooked meats over a flaming grill, while sipping on Japanese sake and cold beer.

My family and I had a fantastic experience at Gyu Kaku in Brea last Saturday! The service was exceptional – the staff were friendly, attentive, and explained the cooking process clearly. We appreciated how the waiter would let us know how much time we should cook each raw meat, and the order of cooking the meat. The food was fresh and the dessert was excellent!
The restaurant was very clean. We couldnt see any fly inside the restaurant.
We were impressed by how quickly our food arrived. The owner, and a few other waiters were bilingual, and could speak Cantonese.
Everytime when we visit, we feel very welcomed and we appreciate the hospitality. We have visited a few other Gyu Kaku branches and this one is definitely our favorite. We will continue to be loyal customers at the Brea branch and will come back soon! Highly recommend to anyone who love Japanese BBQ!

Celebrated a family birthday with 16 people, 2 little children and the restaurant did a great job explaining the options and how to safely cook our food. One table group opted for the Supreme all you can eat and another opted for the Ultimate all you can eat option. Both were great, excellent food options and we left full and happy! The kids really enjoyed cooking the food, especially the smores and loved all the ice cream options. The manager even politely asked if we had any seniors in the group over 60 and we had 4, so we got 4 senior discounts. Outstanding service! The various many beef options were so delicious and tender. Garlic shrimp and salmon were excellent as well. Thanks much for providing our large group such an enjoyable Sunday afternoon celebration together!

We had a great experience eating dinner at this restaurant. We ordered a Yakiniku Party for 4 people. The service and food were good. The waiters were very nice and friendly. We really enjoyed the food there. This restaurant is very accommodating with birthday celebration and wedding proposals. We saw them celebrating with the customers. We will come back again for sure!

Waitress was not attentive to our table, I mentioned that it was our first time to this type of restaurant. I had to go to the bar myself for more drinks, bartender was nice enough to bring them to our table. We should have given the bartender the WHOLE tip…
Will recommend but make my friends aware of the service. Food was fabulous.

We try the ultimate menu all you can eat, and it’s worth it. Service is excellent and food quality is good. Beef Tongue, Toro Beef (Sweet Soy Tare), Filet Mignon, Sirloin must try in my opinion. Cold Tofu, Beef Bibimbap, and Angus Beef Rib is good. Recommended people here for Japanese BBQ for the first time.

Although they don’t serve the all-you-can-eat option here, their food is pretty tasty and happy hour is pretty affordable. This place it’s nice and spacious and very modern-looking. Nice place to eat. Not too much smoke around the restaurant. Although one of the servers “misquoted ” us the price of a drink with Grey Goose, the manager took care of it.

The restaurant offers variety of menus, happy-hours, all-you-can-eat, combo based on your appetite/needs. Ventilation is not bad so you won’t be smelled like BBQ after that. Quality of meat is amazing. Highly recommended.

Worst Gyu Kaku I’ve ever been to. Didn’t think it could be this different with this chain store. Meat is not that good, very small portion.
And this fried chicken, ssly, you tell me it’s Japanese style? Or Popeyes style?
It’s a waste of this great space.

Late evening on Saturday, the place was basically empty. When walking in, it smelled like an unwashed gym: like sweat kept wafting from inside out, but the cold air draft whooshed in every time the door opened which would be solved quickly with one of those privacy foldable dressing panels.
The ramen was clean though, but it wasn’t memorable. Not as fatty as other ramen places, and the drinks were alright. Understaffed sign was placed, but it seemed like just as many people walking around as there were tables seated.
Friendly staff, quick output for drinks, and ramen was split without asking, so good service! Definitely not as lively as any other gyukaku experience, but it was probably just off timing. I’ll be back for Korean soldier stew!

Nice place, our burner only half worked so very limited cooking ability. The meats were okay tasting except for chicken, i would not recommend it. We ordered 2 beers and they kept bringing us 2 more even when we said no. I liked the salad and miso soup but my wife didn’t. We each shared the combo for 2. Total cost over 90.00
I would not go back.
