My Review by aldit on 1/31/2014 via Citysearch
Excellent quality meat but price is a little high. Service is great and you do have to cook your own meat. Love the marinated meat and garlic noodle

Gyu-Kaku by Tatiana C on 4/30/2009 via Insider Pages
I went to Gyu-Kaku for the first time last week for my brothers b-day! It was definitely something new for us. The menu is confusing but our waiter Jack was really helpful and explained what the popular dishes are and suggested different…

Great Atmosphere! by Kelly L on 10/13/2008 via Insider Pages
Great food that you grilled yourself. Sort of like a bbq but indoor. Great place to eat with family and friends and just kick back. The price is on the high end, so I would recommend on special occasion only and not a daily outing.

Poor customer service at Pasadena location by hungrymudbug on 8/5/2008 via Citysearch
I dine at Gui-Kaku about 6 times a year and have had good experiences until recent. Ever since visiting the Pasadena location, I've decided to give my business to other japanese/korean bbq restaurants. We waited 1.5 hours for a table…

i came here with a friend out of curiosity. the place was pretty packed so we had to wait a little. when we were seated we looked through the menu and kind of laughed. i'm so used to eating grill-your-own meat with my korean friends in…

Great food, fun place! by noraisin on 10/19/2007 via Citysearch
We've eaten here several times and always enjoyed it. The service was fast and friendly. The menu was varied and everything we had was great. You cook it yourself so you can cook any meat just as you like it - and only have yourself to…

Love it -- maybe tough your first time by J.M. A on 9/13/2007 via Insider Pages
We lived in Japan, so we're used to this, but the first time, the menu may be hard to figure out. Order one meat dish per person, plus one (like a vegetable). You can always order more if it's not enough. Kalbi is #1, but pricey. …

Grill Your Own Japanese Dinner by lwmango on 3/30/2007 via Citysearch
A little bit on the pricey side but the money is definitely worth it. Go for a special occassion to try their melt-in-your-mouth meats! Cook the perfectly marinated and tender meats to your liking on the table-top barbecues. The grills…

This Place is Great for Dates and Parties by restaurantier on 12/26/2006 via Citysearch
I just visited Pasadena Gyu-Kaku for the first time over the holidays. I live in the area but never got a chance to try it since it's pretty new. We had a birthday party for one of my friends, who said this was his favorite restaurant in…

Great JAPANESE bbq! by princess_a on 12/19/2006 via Citysearch
Also regarding Laura's comment and the restaurant's response: I lived/worked in Japan for almost 2 years and YES this is authentic Japanese BBQ, its not "wannabe" anything. The food is great, and very similar to places I ate in both Tokyo…

My daughter first heard of this place through her friends. After couples weeks of hearing great reviews about the food and service, we decided it was our time to check it out. We were NOT disappointed at all! When we got there, the place…

Do it yourself Japanese BBQ by josecanejo on 12/5/2006 via Citysearch
This is one of those Asian do it yourself BBQ places, similar to the Korean style. They use some kind of charcoal instead of gas oven which honestly made me reek of smoke by the time I was done eating. The food quality is good but the…

Yummy but pricey. by pgrey on 11/24/2006 via Citysearch
I'm on the fence about this place. One one hand, I thought the food was good and it's really fun to cook your own food with a group of people, but on the other hand it is really expensive and it really adds up. You can probably get the…

Wannabe Korean BBQ Japanese Style by laurahan on 11/16/2006 via Citysearch
I do not understand why people go to this restaurant. I have tried two different locations and both times was very disappointed. The food is very bland or on the salty side. This is a Japanese rendition of Korean BBQ. If you want to…
