Great Japanese BBQ restaurant. Love the place, we have been there few times. The wait is long in the weekend. We prefer to go on... weekdays. The quality of food is great. Read more

Wow! Today’s dinner took me back to Gyu-kaku dotonbori in Osaka! Serving size for the price is good, service is excellent,... OUTDOOR SEATING is available (which is a must too nowadays), and definitely worth the wait for a table. Do yourselves a favorand get the GARLIC RICE instead of plain rice, you won’t regret it! It’s good to share between 2-3 people and compliment themeats you’ll be grilling as well ????. One thing i didn’t find as worth it was the assorted veggies but hey gotta get thosegreens/nutrition in somehow. Final verdict: TRY IT! Read more

Meat/ Food. 5/5 I always do the set menu to simplify ordering for a group. You can't go wrong w any of them. Set menu offers a... good variety of types meats + salad and additional sides.( Look at my pics) You can always ask the server if you are notfamiliar ..they usually ask if you are a newbie so they can guide you through the menu. My favs are Kalbi, pork belly, andshabu shabu . Dipping sauce = spicy ponzu and soy sauce options. If you have vegetarian's in your group..not to fret. They dohave veggies for grilling and other veggie options. Interior vibe: 4/5 Reminds me of those small Izakayas in Japan ..low lit,cozy wood interior booths. There is alot of grilling , excitement, people chatter and servers moving fast. High energyrestaurant. Service: 5/5 Servers are the best ..hands down . It's one of the reason this place does so well year after year.They are super attentive .all work together...even if they're rushing to deliver someone else's order , they will look at youlisten , just amazing. Sometimes they may have 2 servers . 1 lead and 2nd in training. Tag teams are always more efficient. Read more

Came here several times throughout the years. Always had a pretty good experience. I like their beef cuts the most (eg short... rib, filet mignon, skirt steak). Service is pretty good, meat also tastes pretty good especially with rice. Their sukiyaki hotstone bowl rice is good too. I like it when the rice gets crunchy on the sides of the bowl. Read more

Loved Gen Kaku! We'll definitely go back. My wife and I had a little dinner date and decided to try something new. Wasn't too... crowded for a Friday night, they walked us through the restaurant to the back and there was a decently nice outdoor space withextra seating. We ordered a happy hour set with 3 extra meat dishes a la carte, plus a pitcher of beer. The grill was clearly abackup, but they changed the grill when it needed it and the service was very nice. We ended up spending a little over $100 foreverything but felt it was worth it. We were stuffed and still had a tiny to go box when we were done. Definitely loved the porkbelly, new York steak, and marinated thin sliced ribeye. Don't miss out on this great little spot! Read more

One of the very few places that offer Yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) in the South Bay, which is different from Korean BBQ or Yakitori.... Meat variation is great. Their skirt sneak is always my favorite. Sets are a good deal where you can taste a variety of meatwith carb and salad. Service is great. Read more

Good grilling restaurant. But some dishes and menu are from other country. Not a Traditional japan grill. And some marinated... meats are not quality. Overall rate are good. Read more
