Spending time with Friends and Family is what Gyu-Kaku is all about. Gyu-Kaku offers the fun of Shared Plates Gyu-Kaku, meaning Horn of the Bull in Japanese, provides the authentic Japanese yakiniku (grilled barbecue) dining experience where customers share premium cooked meats over a flaming charcoal grill, while sipping on Japanese sake, shochu, and frosty cold beers. Gyu-Kaku offers a wide range of meats including the best-seller Harami Skirt Steak in Miso Marinade and Certified Angus Kalbi Short Rib in Tare Sweet Soy Marinade.

Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ is one of my favorite places to go. We came here with my mom and my fiancé. My mom lives in LIC, and this location is literally across the street from her place, so we decided to try it instead of going to Flushing, where we usually go.
The food was good and still very enjoyable. That said, the vibe here feels a bit different compared to the Flushing location—maybe it’s newer, or it just hasn’t fully settled yet.
Overall, a solid spot with good food and a convenient location. I’d definitely come back, especially being so close by.

We cannot say enough amazing things about our waitress, Sai (please forgive us if we’re spelling her name wrong). We’ve been lucky enough to have her twice, and both experiences were outstanding. She is incredibly attentive, friendly, and truly goes above and beyond to make sure every part of the meal is perfect. Her customer service alone is a reason for us to keep coming back.
We’re also so grateful for the LIC location—it’s much more convenient for us than the Flushing one, and it’s become our go-to spot. Every visit has been 100% worth it, from the quality of the food to the excellent service. The food is consistently delicious, the staff is welcoming and professional, and the atmosphere is warm, cozy, and perfect for enjoying a great meal. We will absolutely be returning many more times and highly recommend this location to anyone considering a visit!

Satisfies our bbq cravings, glad this opened in LIC. Great if you don’t mind cooking the meat yourself. Although I would say, ordering from their cooked dishes on the menu are also still very good if you don’t want to grill yourself

I’ve been to many Gyu-Kaku locations both in and outside of NYC, but this was by far the worst one. I now understand why it wasn’t busy, even in such a highly Asian neighborhood. All the meats were tough, extremely thin, old, and had a strange texture, like they’d been frozen for too long and thawed too quickly. Out of the nine or so types of meat we ordered, maybe one or two were edible; the rest were just bad.
The service could’ve been ok, but the server who brought our meats (different from the one who took our order) kept throwing the dishes onto the table. He wasn’t overtly rude, but he literally threw every single dish down. The rice was also dry, hard, and tasted old. It tasted like it hadn’t been cooked with enough water.
Overall, I would never go back. If you care about your money and want a decent dining experience, I strongly suggest going elsewhere.

We usually go to the Flushing location and we love it. This new location is awesome, the service was incredible, from the hostess to our servers, Mauricio and Kirch went above and beyond, amazingly on point! Kind, friendly, polite, and attentive to every detail. The meat was fresh and delicious. I’ve read a couple of reviews where people complain that the corn doesn’t have cheese; it does, it’s just melted. You have to wait for it to cool down so you can enjoy its creaminess. As always, the harami was the star. We had AYCE (All You Can Eat).

Did the AYCE premium (most basic one actually) was about 60pp. They let you order 2 plates of meat pp at a time so don’t sit around with an empty grill. Last order is 70minutes from first order put in. Their apps were just okay. Corn cheese had no cheese?? Meats were splendid. Can’t speak for the chicken as I tried to get my moneys worth and was happily stuffed with beef and pork. Can’t vouch for the seafood as I didn’t try that. Ice cream is very good.

Yay, after months of anticipation the LIC spot finally open!
Hubby and I went for dinner this past weekend during their soft opening. Luckily we were able to make a 7:30 reservation which I strongly advised. There was this one couple (walk-in) got there around the same time as us and we saw them still waiting for a table on our way out after 9pm!
This LIC location is a multi-levels establishment, our server (great service by the way) told us there will be a rooftop with a full bar coming soon.
We opted for the Chef’s Choice Course Set Menu, good value and we left with happy stomach.
As a BBQ lover and fan of Gyu-KaKu, this is definitely a good addition to the neighborhood.

Came here after opening and enjoyed it. We’ve been to the Gyu’s in flushing, Cooper square and Osaka, and it held up. The food was as expected, and the vibe was really nice. Chigae soup is a favorite, and so are the wontons. Must say staff are really nice, Elley was really good and did a great job. We’d come back.
