    I've visited gyu kaku at this site several times, and each time, the experience has always been exceptional. The workers are always very energetic and greet you upon entrance. They are always happy to assist you. The grills are changed quite often so our meat is never charred from previous meats. The prices are not bad for a barbeque, and everything is always delicious. Its both an knowledge and delicious! I always enjoy roasting my marshmallow over the grill and watching it brown! absolutely a great spot!!

    This was Japanese BBQ place and my friend and I ordered gyu-kaku: 70 dollar meal plus tip and tax round up to $90dollars for two person. The meat particularly the beef was very tender from the 70dollar combo appropriate for two ppl. The gyu-kaku BBQ items have 4 starters: 2 miso soup, salad, 4 pieces of sushi, and a huge beef bibimap!! This is very filling already!!! Also have 6 BBQ items built-in: 4 different kinds of meat and mushroom and shrimp

    We were there for Thanksgiving dinner. We make a reservation and the front desk seats us punctually. The service were fast without making you feels rush. The front desk did says that its 90 mins per table since its pretty busy but then again depending on what you ordered, by the time the meat is cooked it takes more than that. We ordered the Meat Lovers Combo & The Samurai. Our server Chris were very good. He walked us through the menus and serve the foods so. First the drinks , then the appetizer followed by the meat and finally s'more as dessert

    truthfully I was contemplating rather I should give it a 3 or a 4 star, but in the end I decided w a 3 star. When we arrived the hostess quoted 5-10 mins, in the end we waited for over 10 mins (no big deal since we didn't wait for more than 20 mins) but when we entered the dining area there was a few empty tables so I don't get why they couldn't seat us. Our server was at first friendly and nice, he explained the menu, how everything work, and answered all of our questions. But toward the end of our meal, everything went downhill. He was nowhere to be seen (maybe Bc we sat at the front entry and the rest of the customers were at the far side of the resto).

    We love Gyu-kaku but this is the first location in NY we've tried. This location is located on the second floor, so be ready to walk up a flight of stairs. it seems that, their menu have changed some. There's an AYCE menu, some items removed like the lamb, and some drink changes, according to the server. We opted for the lunch menu and some other side add-ons. All were spot on. We forever enjoy Gyu-kaku!

    This is almost certainly one of my favorite restaurants. Their meat is so perfect and sweet and savory. I LOVE the service here -- everyone is always so happy and kind! Their happy hour deals are also so good. I always come here after 9pm when happy hour starts. The place is pretty pricey so any deal is a good deal. I recommend calling ahead since from time to time it gets busy and I have had to wait 45 minutes before. The place is a little cramped in terms of design but once you get into your booth, there is ample space.

    Having been to a few of the GyuKaku in the city, this is my favorite not only because it's so close to home but also since of the staff. I've been there a few times and the waiters are always so friendly and knowledgeable. I tend to make a condition on Opentable just in case there's a long wait. After all it's Flushing and on my last visit it was poppin' on a Tuesday night!

    Came here for my bestie's birthday. It was very suitable to book through open table and had plenty of tables when I arrived for dinner. Upon arrival, the host was ready to greet us and had everything set up for us. Unlike the Manhattan locations, this location really had way better customer service and such high energy! The waiter came to us quickly and introduced himself and also explained the menu to us when we requested to do a AYCE option. YES... They have AYCE here! There's 2 options (Ultimate $50 or regular $35 I think). If you're feeling a little adventurous, absolutely go for the ultimate option. The only rule to this is, each person is only allowed to order 2 protein dishes each order. Fair enough as I can see the food sitting there if we don't eat quickly.

    Mon-Thurs all you can eat for $39.99 or $49.99. everybody on the table have to do AYCE. Happy hour is until 6pm, but is all night at the bar. The premium meats are to die for. If you do the final package, you get two orders of tongue and premium steak per person. All other items are unlimited. The tongue was the favorite meat. Service is wonderful. They change the plate for you before you have to ask. The manager comes and asks if we are doing okay and if they need to improve in anything. Just amazing staff and premium meats.

    This is almost certainly my favorite place to eat barbecue at definitely pricer than other bbq places on Main Street but it's absolutely worth the money. The selection of meat is great and the meat is definitely well marinated. Their dessert are super good too

    I actually haven't been around Main St Flushing in a minute, so I was surprised when my girlfriend told me about this place right above what used to be Red Bowl (which to my surprise, is closed down now?). Parking was not good because they ALSO closed down the civic parking lot right next door and replaced it with a brand spankin' new apartment building. There's a late happy hour particular everyday after 9pm there which is great! That includes HH prices for drinks, bar foods, and some BBQ combos. I got a regular blue moon draft ($4.50) and also a Mega Mug Sapporo ($8), which seemed like a better deal afterwards due to the size of the mug!

    The experience here was totally wonderful. The food is seasoned to perfection the sauces were amazing and bring all the food together beautifully with the flavors. The only downside was that the wait time was very long and there was barely any seats to sit down and wait. Happy hour is definitely worth it just make sure you make a reservation before going there because you will wait a long time to be seated.

    Japanese bbq for lunch on a weekend is the best thing! We went their for their happy hour. $50 for 2, what a great deal! The place is huge, nice interior and we got seated right away. We ordered two virgin drinks and its not built-in in the happy hour. They have a lot of happy hour choice but we pick the $50 for 2 that comes with miso soup, edamame, salad, 2 rice, bistro hanger steak, toro beef, yaki shabu pork stomach, garlic chicken, assorted vegestable and s'mores for desserts. Miso soup is miso soup, edamame is good and a little soft, salad was okay because its that asian salad you know. All the meat was really tasty and well marinated. For $50 its a steal!

    Walked by this restaurant a few times and finally determined to go in one day and they did not let down! The waiters were nice and I valued the fact that multiple waiters came to our table to ask how we were doing and every time they brought out food, they told us how long to cook each meat(great for people new to bbq). My favorite part was the bar, nice drinks with even nicer bartenders!

    This place was totally worth it. First of we were 40 minutes late for our reservation & close to closing they still sat us. right away upon greeting we were getting service & suggestions. We were ready to eat! After ordering & loving our first course, we started cooking our meat. Now this is the difference between Korean & Japanese is the Korean cook it for you versus the Japanese do not. An overwhelming server named Alan actually saw us touchingly struggling and burning our meat, came & helped us

    This is one the list for one of my favorite restaurants. The service was great the food tasted hard to believe. The setting and vibe the everything about this place was just perfect and i most definitely recommend to everyone. This is also a great place for a family dinner or even a birthday. I also wanna add i don't like beef but i tried the harami beef and fell in love. Their mochi was actually good too!

    It was my first time here yesterday and I had a great time here. We had made a reservation and we were seated almost right away. Some places despite making a reservation, you have to wait. First they have combos for people like us because we weren't sure too what to order. We got the gyu kaku set which included soup, salad, 2 appetizer dishes, 4? dissimilar types of meats and s'mores for dessert. Everyone was so friendly and attentive- they explain how long we should cook the meats for, etc.

    Great food with attentive service. Make sure download the App to get free Toro Beef and check in with Yelp to get free Edamame. condition can be made with the App. Overall, a very satisfied knowledge!

    Alright...One tip to start, ALWAYS see how their menu have changed. My family (including my 3 yr old nephew) and I love gyukaku and we come every 3 to 4 weeks. Their menus and specials are always changing. This time, I tried their AYCE premium menu and I was pleasantly surprised. Seniors are half price, kids under 6(?) Are free. This is a great deal for family. selection in their AYCE menu is also quite good!

    The meats and service here are wonderful. Every single thing that we've ordered is tasty. So far, I've only been able to do the a la carte menus, but I do want to go back to do the AYCE option! I especially love how helpful and honest the waiters/waitresses have been! I love that they change the grill often so you don't have any leftover residue from the previous meats.

    Located in the heart of Main st., Flushing. Right above Red Bowl. I'm going to keep this review simple. Be ready to spend around $30-$50 per person because the food isn't cheap. I'm quite disappointed with the portion ratio per cost, it's more on the slim side and it does not give good reason for the price. I'll say one thing regarding to the food that's good, the quality is up there which is why my review is 4 stars.

    We spotted this location a few weeks ago and it got me all excited! I've never been to Gyu-Kakus in the city but I've loved dining at locations in SoCal. I called and inquired about doubts around 6 pm on Father's Day and was told the earliest condition they had was 9:15 pm with a 9:30 pm last call and a 10 pm closing. My husband said to go for it so we did. We're still not very familiar with the area so I looked up parking ahead of time. We knew that from before, it's typically parallel parking with heavy pedestrian traffic. My husband would rather pay to park in a lot and be done with it than search for cheaper street parking. The closest lot I found was on 136-18 41st Ave.

    This place is almost certainly my five year old's favorite restaurant. She has a lot of really severe food allergies so it's a huge treat to her to be able to sit down with us at a restaurant and eat the same food we do. It's the only restaurant she's asked us repeatedly to go to. The food is always good at Gyu-Kaku so that's never been something I've been concerned with. I believe what makes this site shine (at least for us!) is their respect and sensitivity when we inform them of my daughter's allergies. They never act like it's an inconvenience and are very proactive in handling it (e.g. letting us know that the kitchen staff always change gloves when preparing my daughter's food without us asking; all staff taking our orders and serving our food know beforehand of her allergies after we let the initial server know). My daughter's had anaphylactic reaction to beef, wheat, and sesame in the past and has never had an issue with eating at this site.

    Five stars for a chain restaurant? Yes! This exacting location, service was outstanding. They just made my visit so enjoyable. Gyu-Kaku is a chain restaurant with over 700 locations universal and majority of them are located in Japan. I remember being cheap and affordable yakiniku restaurant in Japan. They offer all you can eat from Monday to Thursday. Pretty good deal. Meat quality is not the best but not too bad for the price you pay. A server kept coming back to replace a BBQ grill mesh so many times. He was so helpful. A GM stopped by with a very nice smile to make sure we are well taken care of.

    We came all the way from Manhattan to eat here because of the wonderful reviews! This place was worth the trip. We both went with the supreme AYCE option because we were both hungry and we didn't want to limit ourselves (who does?). The service here is wonderful! Our server found out my friend was sick and offered several times to bring him hot tea with lemon. He was also very quick to change the grill for us and bring us the next order of food. Very attentive and even told us how long to cook the a variety of meats per side. Also as other yelpers mentioned, the manager also came several times to check on us.
