Reviews for Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ in Chicago, IL
Lunch special for two is amazing! It provided plenty of appetizers, meat and even dessert to end the bbq! Service was very good.... Server did not give us the lunch special menu and had to ask for it. If you go for lunch definitely ask for the lunch menu! Read more
I went for the lunch because their lunch menu is way cheaper and it comes with two meat options, miso soup, salad, and a large... bowl of rice for $13.99. I was satisfied with the amount I was given. The meat quality was good. I’m Korean, so I was basingmy experience at Gyu-Kaku with kbbq. It’s very similar, but I felt like there wasn’t anything special or different with themeats. Kbbq is marinated in a sweat way, so it’s unique, but Jbbq seemed plain. You do get 3 sauces to dip the meat. I enjoyedmy meal and I think it’s worth checking out, especially for their lunch menu!

New favorite restaurant!! The service was great, our server was so kind and polite. (He even gave me a free dessert because it... was my birthday! I got green tea icecream soooo tasty) The entire lunch was delicious and the timing in which everything wasbrought out was perfect. So many meats to choose from and every one I tried was mouth watering and made you want more and more.No disappointment at all, definitely reccomend and definitely will be coming back. Read more
First time eating Japanese BBQ. Had the 3 meat selection lunch special which came with miso soup, a salad (it has peppers on it,... so next time will ask to remove those), and white rice which I upgraded to a delicious (and generous portion of) garlic friedrice. I picked two different steaks and a pork to cook and enjoy at the table. They all tasted great even without the sauceoptions you can add at the table which include sweet soy, ponzu, and spicy. I liked the first two sauces, not a fan of anything"spicy" anyway. I wish I lived in Chicago so I could enjoy this restaurant more! (Was just in town to see the awesome band TheWarning at the Bottom Lounge on the back side of the same block.) If I return to Chicago, would definitely repeat visit! Ask forBarbara, she took good care of this patron. Read more
I loved my meal here. Its fun to grill your own meat! I had the filet mignon and garlic chicken noodles and one beer and the... total was only $21. That's crazy good for a restaurant like this in downtown Chicago. In fact when I sent pics to a friend heguessed the cost was double... Also I don't know if it was on purpose but the staff gave me my beer ($3.50) for free. Thankyou!! ???? Read more
We got the meat lovers set ($70 for two - but it fed the three of us). High quality meat and a good variety of... appetizers. Excellent service. The waiter checked on us regularly and made sure we were having a good time. Would definitelycome again! Read more
The service, the decor, the quality all remind me what I had back in Japan. HOWEVER, there were still some dishes may make you... frown. The fried chicken was not juicy as what I expected, the coating was more than actual meat. The sushi... If you don't knowhow to make one, just don't pretended that you know how to... the rice just fell apart even I picked it up with my hands.... Butback to BBQ itself, it's amazing. And the udon, you will be surprise how good that is! Read more
Went here for friend’s birthday lunch. Everything was good. We even got the happy hour special. Four people. Bill was under... $200 including tips. Still one of the best Japanese BBQ I been to. Only thing not so good is finding parking sometimes. Read more
