Here we are 2 years later and not much has changed. This time was a belated mothers day. Thankfully the weather was on our side mild, but we had reservations and didn't have to wait. We arrived and were seated within 5 minutes. Again everything seemed rushed from the time we sat down. No sooner did we pick up the menu we were asked what we would like. Our server Aylin was very attentive. We were finally ready to place our order. Liked the last time the food came out in rapid fire succession , first the salad, immediately after the soup which was sadly tasteless, for miso soup it was more green in flavor. While still working on the soup the plates of meat arrived, plate after plate. On to the food. The selection of meat was the standard chicken which seemed overly pesto like, then there was some other meats that were interesting to say the least. Some of the meat did not get the pleasure of a marinade bath. Some pieces were stuck together, other pieces were not sure almost scrap like. Finally the other white meat the pork, probably the best of the selection. The place was not busy so I see no reason for the rush act.

Lol, I'm a bit biased because I used to work at this location, but Gyu-Kaku hits when you want it to hit. Sometimes you just want to pig out (they have AYCE options) and enjoy a few drinks with friends, and this is the right place to do that. Absolutely get the Bistro Hanger and the Corn Butter. My husband loves the Sukiyaki Beef Bibimbap. Space is pretty big; they have a back room, a little cozy corner tucked away with a few tables, and a spacious front. It does get pretty busy on weekends especially in the evenings, so I recommend you make a reservation. Servers are so friendly, and I'm not just saying that because I've worked with them before. Overall a great go-to spot for some premium barbecue.

Amazing food and service! The meats were so tasty! Highly recommend this place to others!

Spicy Tuna Volcano
Marquita R.

I was staying in a hotel around the corner and I decided to pop in for dinner, I always come in for the Spicy Tuna Volcano, it's honestly one of my favorite dishes, but this time I also tried the Garlic Shiyo Cabbage since it's a newer item on the menu and it was amazing, super fresh and crunchy with an amazing sauce on top very straightforward, but delicious. The garlic rice was amazing per usual, and the meat was fresh and tasted amazing. I have been coming to Gyu-Kaku for years and it remains one of my favorite spots because it's always consistent . I love their happy hour. I always do a Mango Mai Tai and they are always bomb, the service is always friendly and fast paced and it's one of my favorite places for good food and good vibes every time it's always a hit. I came back the next day because everything was so amazing, I can't wait to go back.

Blue Lagoon

I went here for my daughter's 9th birthday. It was five of us. Three adults and two children. We were seated right away. The staff is very friendly and professional. The food was good. I would have loved to give them 5 starts. However, the menu was a bit overwhelming. They brought three different menus and it was difficult to narrow down what we wanted. We settled for the Yakiniku for four, which wound up being perfect because the kids ate some of it too. We also order two kids meals. The kids were not too fond of the selections. They ate the chicken and picked over the corn, rice. edamame and the plum tomatoes. The ambiance was chill and can be enjoyed for a variety of reasons. From date night to family style dinner this place is appropriate. We didn't wait long for our food and the portions were a good size. We had a good experience and I will be going back there just because.

Service was great. Place was clean. Out waiter was very helpful in explaining everything and making great suggestions as it was our first time dining here. Drinks came out quick as well as apps. Everything was delicious and the way the food came out was perfect as we didn't feel rushed. Definitely will be back.

Garlic Fried Rice Bowl

Food is amazing as always. Service was great. Gustavo was an excellent waiter. I highly recommend the fried calamari to start always. My second recommendation would be the garlic fried rice with any choice of steak they offer.

I gave them 4 stars as it was a very nice experience overall. The restaurant is located on the heart of downtown White Plains Mew York. Guy-Kaku Japanese BBQ is located in about 18 different states and in Canada. They have almost 20 locations in California, 6 in New York and 8 in Canada. I came here with a few friends to celebrate a birthday which we do every year. They are big red meat eaters so for anyone who is, this place is "heavenly". I usually have red meat a handful of times, maybe 4 times a year. I do have to say, it was a fun experience cooking the meat, and all of the meat was seasoned well. What I will tell you is that if you order one of the BBQ Courses, you will not leave hungry! We ordered the meat lovers course and I don't think, you need to add any side dishes. As they are a chain restaurant in New York they need to post a calorie count. The meat lovers course contains about 1650 calories and that is not including drinks! I usually eat around 2,000 calories for the whole day. It's ok to spurge once in a while. PROS: Our waiter Jaimie was very nice. He was courteous, attentive and explained everything including suggested cooking times well. Plenty of food, different cuts of meat, chicken and you even get shrimp. They include Japanese noodles, Edemami, miso soup, kimchi, and s'mores for desert. This is a great place for kids and groups. They embrace the team spirit and coordinate well. CONS: The food comes out way too fast and at times there was not room for everything. They did their best to clear the plates but that part fell a little short at times. I would definitely recommend them. Overall we had a great time, I would come back here or visit one of their NYC locations closer to my house.

See all
