Tasty marinated Japanese inspired BBQ meats. The lunch combo for $19.99 which includes 3 meats, soup, salad, and rice is an amazing deal for the portion size and quality protein. Their menu is extensive ( maybe too overbearing for some folks), but at least you know there’s multiple options for everyone. There’s an AYCE ( all you can eat) option available too for the big stomach folks. There’s chili crispy chicken wings were flavorful and super crunchy and tasty. Just be prepared to grill meats for the table since the surface area for grilling is small and some folks sitting at the end of the table can’t reach properly. The quality of the meats seemed very reasonable for the price point.

We walked in for melon soda but they were out!!! We ordered the seasonal set menu (I think it was $130 for 2-3 people portion). I wouldn’t say the food quality was superb; but it’s entertaining to go through the dishes as there were just so many as a set menu. One thing to note is that when they mixed hot rice in a bowl/pot for us, I felt like I saw small pieces of the surface. I didn’t feel comfortable finishing it. Next time I go, I will not be ordering a set menu, but it’s fun to try it at least once if you are new.

Had a wonderful experience at Gyu-Kaku!
It was my friend’s first time here, and she was very impressed.

Yoyo provided excellent service. He was very attentive, friendly, and professional. He made sure everything was perfect and checked on us regularly.

Food was delicious, atmosphere was great, and Yoyo truly made our night special. Highly recommend asking for him!

One of the best AYCE BBQ spots in the city! The quality of the meat and the price you pay are both reasonable and definitely worth it. This was my third time at this location, and while the food was as good as always, the service was a bit slower this time. They were pretty busy, and I’m not sure if they were short staffed, but our wait for food was longer than usual around 15 minutes.

Our server was friendly, though he seemed to forget our rice and signature sauces. We got them after we’d almost finished our first round, and only after asking. We also had to ask for water refills.

Despite the slower service this time, the food was still delicious as always. I’d recommend visiting on a weekday if it’s your first time to avoid longer wait times.

Such a wonderful experience! I came with my husband and two little boys and were taken care of by Hira. Drinks and food were amazing and came quickly. Hira took great care of us and made sure our (multiple) orders were put in on time — like right before the hh cut off, yay! Just a very smooth and warm service and reliably quality meal!

Yea, it’s really good but not amazingly tasty dishes with the sauces or on their own. Service is great, and the experience is fun. For the all you can eat, you’re not allowed to take away what you don’t finish.

Great Food, Great Services and Great environment. And miss Gianna did a wonderful job serving my whole meal! In fact, it’s hardly find another place in NYC that has a better taste of BBQ than here!
I’d been eating too much :(

This establishment is located on the 2nd floor, up a flight of stairs. I am not sure if there is an elevator.
The place was full and busy when we arrived for a 7:30pm reservation on a Saturday night, with instructions to arrive 15 mins early. So we did.
Our table was not ready, so we were encouraged to order drinks at bar for happy hour deals. We were seated 10 or so minutes later.
Seems a lot of instruction and preparation to figure out the best deal as there are different tiers (and different pricing based on the tiers) to ordering and items that can be ordered. That and having to cook your own meats and veggies seems daunting, but luckily we had a participant who seemed to get the system because otherwise I am not sure how this would have gone.
Garlic fried rice was fantastic and all the meats were good and fresh.
It is a fun and vibrant place and all we ate was great, but still seems a bit more complicated and confusing than it needs to be.
Only knew of the one 1 person restroom, but there may be additional ones.
The service was very good.
We walked here, so only on street parking that I know of.

​Having enjoyed Gyu-Kaku’s interactive Japanese BBQ experience at other locations, we arrived at the 3rd Avenue spot with high expectations. A quick note for future diners: this location is on the second floor, and I didn’t spot an elevator, so plan accordingly. Our visit started with a minor mix-up—I’d accidentally booked this location instead of our usual Midtown favorite.
​We arrived around 5 PM, and the restaurant wasn’t overly crowded, so we were seated promptly. My initial impression wasn’t the best regarding cleanliness. Our table felt slightly sticky, and there was visible dirt on the floor and window we were siting next to, suggesting the place could use a thorough upgrade and a bit more attention to tidiness.
​Despite this, we decided to stay, as the allure of Gyu-Kaku’s interactive dining experience is strong. For first-timers, navigating the menu can be a bit of a learning curve. It’s tiered, with each tier offering a different selection of meats and other dishes. As a party of three, and with everyone quite hungry, we ambitiously opted for the “for 4 people” set menu. Let me tell you, they were not kidding about the portions! It was an absolute mountain of food, easily enough for six people. We ended up cooking everything and happily took a significant amount of leftovers home.
​On the beverage front, I tried their Lychee Mojito (if I recall the name correctly), and it was genuinely delicious – a refreshing complement to the rich food. All the food was super fresh and delicious. My two teens loved grilling their own food. The staff gives instructions on how long to grill each piece of meat for.
​While we are big fans of the Gyu-Kaku concept and will definitely be returning to the chain, this specific location likely won’t be our first choice next time.
