We had always been having a good lunch special here almost every two to three weeks. They are recently have a great deal for Restaurant Wee. You got an appetizer + two meats+1 veg+ 1 dessert, with white nice, salad and miso soup for just $25. Waiting time is about 35 minutes. They have plenty of seatings when we entered. So we guess the waiting was because they were short of staffs. Overall food taste great as always.

Wait time on a saturday evening: 60 minutes – they will tell you 40 but you will wait longer. I’ve been going to gyukaku for years; I would spend birthdays there. I haven’t been in while and the menu has changed. I would normally get the al la carte but since it was my friends bday I decided to get the courses. This time I chose the chefs choice.
The starters were eh, it came the classic miso soup and hot stone rice which were great, I didn’t like the gyu-sushi which cold meat on top of the sushi rice. We were given 4 so I took 2 and my friend took 2. My first bite was great and the cut of the meat was tender, but my second piece it was so hard that I had to spit it out. The choices of meat were okay – I think you’re better off ordering their premium meats ala carte.

Got the lunch set, which was a very reasonable price. Grill the meat at your own pace so it’s nice and hot when you add it to your rice bowl. Also came with miso soup and a generous amount of salad. Meat tastes great and the dipping sauces available are nice. The service was a little slow during Friday afternoon.

Great food and great service.
Located in a strip mall with lots of food options and they are one of the best.
Food here is great. We tried the Ultimate option and every single food item was delicious.
It is Japanese BBQ so the food are all delicately prepared.
Loved the Toro beef.
Highly recommended. Come early and come hungry. It gets busy during lunch and dinner time and especially on weekends.

We came for dinner, got reservations for 5:45 and were seated right away. We didn’t get our server to take our order for the first 10 minutes, we had to go to the front desk and asked for it. The meat was basic, wasn’t super high quality.
The wait time in between each order was long enough for us to forget what we ordered. We found ourselves staring at the fire and wondering.
Worth a try but not coming back.

Absolutely amazing. I have been coming to this restaurant consistently for over 10 years now. This is my favorite japanese bbq place. I love the spicy jalapeno miso marinade they have for their meats and is it unparalleled. The cuts of meat are fairly decent quality. The toro beef is by far my favorite cut of beef. The appetizers and side dishes are also quite plentiful for non bbq lovers as well. The food can be fairly oily but thats about par for the course at a bbq place.
The parking can be fairly hit or miss at times but usually it’s fine. The wait times however can be quite bad. They no longer take reservations online and only through phone if you have a large party. For a normal small group you have to walk in and expect to wait at least 20-30minutes depending on what time you come.

I recently visited Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ with my colleagues for lunch, opting for the all-you-can-eat premium option with 45 items to choose from. The food was enjoyable, and the variety was impressive. However, I encountered some issues with the service.
Unfortunately, the service was quite slow, with our meat orders often taking 10-15 minutes to arrive after we placed them. As an Asian myself, I was disappointed to see that the Asian staff weren’t busy at all but didn’t pay much attention to our table, despite it being the only one in that area. We found ourselves waving them over frequently just to place our orders.
Towards the end of our meal, one staff member (who appeared to be Mexican) made a significant difference. He was attentive, served the meats quickly, and checked in with us several times to see if we needed to order more.
Overall, while the food was good, the slow service was disappointing. I think I might explore other BBQ options in Convoy Street next time!!!

Finally we got a chance to try 牛角 out in San Diego. I had it before in NYC, but it’s too long ago, I already totally forgot the taste. Since this store is super popular, we had to go to take a number at their front desk on a weekday before 6. The waiting time is about 20 minutes. The good thing is they have happy hour before 6:30, the price is great! All the meats and veggies are delicious. I highly recommend the beef belly, it is yummy! The appetizers are great as well, I like my soft tofu and spicy cucumber. The salad is good too. By the way, I love their service, one of the best services in my San Diego restaurant dining experiences.
