Don’t forget to enter my giveaway for a copy of 5-Minute Mug Cakes, which ends on January 1st!. Last month, I celebrated my birthday along with three of my good friends – all of us have birthdays within a week of one another, so it’s a great chance to have a big party! This year, we chose Gyu-Kaku, a Japanese BBQ (yakiniku) shop that opened semi-recently in Scripps Ranch, as our celebration spot.
Dennis, our friend David, and I went for dinner to check out the Monday all day happy hour. It was busy at 8pm and I provided my cell to be texted when a table opened up (estimated 45 minutes). 30 minutes later, a table was available. After sitting down, I pointed everyone toward the containers of dipping sauces, consisting of sweet soy, spicy, and ponzu. We prepared our sauces but noted the thicker sweet soy required more *shakes* to get it out!
We enjoyed our dining experience at this location. The dining room was clean and kept up. The service was friendly and attentive. We ordered the Supreme (all you can eat) our favorite meat was Harami Miso Skirt Steak. I enjoyed the spicy shrimp and garlic noodles with chicken. We did have to return the gyu sushi because is didn’t look/smell fresh to our liking. We ended dinner with s’mores. Overall we enjoyed dinner at this location.
Absolutely delicious and worth getting a group of friends together to explore more of the menu together and divide the bill. We got the dinner for two and should’ve stopped eating but it was happy hour and ordered a few items off the a la carte menu because we could. The only complaint is that some of the marinated meats were a tad too salty which was a bummer. Their table ponzu and spicy sauces were tasty. The spicy had a sweet heat that even my partner could enjoy it and why we used half the bottle.
Great ayce and I love the fact I get smores but the wait time isn't the greatest
Wow. Really great food. Fast service, very polite. Highly recommend. Pretty sure I'll be back to work my way through the entire menu.
Highly recommend happy hour, very affordable options (see menu pictures). Walked in on a Monday afternoon. Christina our server was amazing! The parking lot is free, but always busy and crazy.
Went here and only ordered the small plates. All the food was delicious! We were least impressed by the black pepper wings, but it could have been because we ate them last and everything else was so delicious!
We ordered (left to right) the Spicy Miso Edamame, Spicy Cabbage Salad, Steamed Chili Dumplings, Spicy Tuna Volcano, Garlic Fried Rice and Black Pepper Wings (not pictured).
My wife and I are returning diners after 8 years being away. We came on a Monday for dinner since they had all-day happy hour. The atmosphere hasn't changed. As they sit the party, they call out their Japanese greeting. It wasn't too loud, we were able to hold a conversation without having to talk loud or yell. With it being their happy hour, we ordered a la carte rather than their course selections. We each got a Kirin to drink. We ordered crispy gyoza and takoyaki for appetizers. The takoyaki was good, and the gyoza was average. We ordered garlic rice to go with the meats, which we got our favorites from the past. The meats were good as we remember, but the garlic rice was subpar. Our server was quick to bring out the orders, and checked on us regularly but lessened as it got busier. Even though it was happy hour, it was still a little pricey. We would come back, but not at the frequency we had done in the past.
Loved the food here. The portions were pretty big, I suggest the rice come in small, med, or large. Our server Paris (or Faris)was amazing. He was very kind, friendly and everything a server should be. Wished they served potatoes like the yakiniku in Japan. Will definitely come back.
It's clean indoors. Good sauce but I don't like too sweet in marinated beef and cut too small. I know you guys love Korean BBQ, in my opinion, I feel like we eat spices. So I love a big slice with less sauce, so this place is not to my taste.
The restroom smelled bad, they should give the separator for sauces.
This place was absolutely awesome. We did there all you can eat premium and it came with a lot of different options all the meat for good and tender and rightly season and marinated. We also tried the tuna volcano and that delicious
