Reviews for Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ in Torrance, CA
My first visit on a cold rainy day, and right from checking in to the fabulously gracious waitstaff, made it a warm pleasant... visit. The food is ok: lacks the brilliance of other Japanese Ramen, Katsu, BBQ chains. Chigae soup should have cooked longer sothat ingredients blended better for better texture and it had no flavor, or much taste. Should’ve tried Miso Soup. TheSukiyaki Rice was ok: Double Beef is not much beef and not very good, and barely any sauce. 3 stars for service. The food needsto be more flavorful and have more taste Read more
Guy Kaku is our go-to date night restaurant. Servers are always friendly, service is fast, and the packages make getting what we... both want a breeze! You can't beat the ambience either :) Read more
The lunch special was priced very well. BBQ marinades were a little on the salty side for me, but it was good & fun to grill... your own meats. Garlic Fried Rice was good if you are not planning to go on a date anytime afterward. Read more
Great Japanese BBQ spot. You pick out your meats and they bring them out for you to grill at your table. The flavors and quality... are solid and happy hour prices on beer and saki are great. Service could be a little bit more quick and we have had dirtyutensils (cooking tongs) that we had to send back for replacement but otherwise we really enjoy this spot over and over. Read more
Great place to visit with friends and or family. We usually go for the all you can eat combo, it's around $46 per person and... in my humble opinion is enough to start. They have Sake and Japanese beer. The service is great offered by the beautifulladies serving the tables and the young bucks ready to assist you in anything you might need. Enjoy it my dear friends Read more
Celebrated my birthday here and had a great time. Food was excellent, mostly ordered appetizers for some reason. Gyoza with... chili sauce, Gyu Kaku salad, egg rolls, salmon salad, BBQ shrimp, bacon and broccoli were all delicious. If you go before 5:00the appetizers are 1/2 off which helps when you have 2 teenage boys who are always hungry. Get a reservation, it’s really hardto get in otherwise. Read more
Meats are good, but serving is not generous enough for the price of $150 + Tax for 4 pax. We ordered "Yakiniku Set." Staff were... nice and helpful enough, Dining is clean. Read more
Came here during Dine LA where they had a $45/pp deal for a choice of appetizer, two meats, a premium meat, dessert, and rice +... miso soup. We had a reservation for 7:15pm but they seated us 10 minutes past our slot. Indoor dining only (no outdoor options).Free parking lot. Credit cards accepted. Most of the seating appeared to be for groups of two or four. Family-friendly. Themeat portions are smaller but good quality. I really liked the poke nachos I had too (they were in a sweet sauce). The cevichehad a nice tang too. The spicy pork did have a kick to it. You have a variety of sauces including a spicy one, soy sauce, andyuzu. There was a helpful paper guide on the wall that showed recommended cook times for the meats. For dessert, they were outof the matcha ice cream but we got the s’mores (come in 2). The chocolate provided is just two pieces of Hershey chunks soyou’ll get a more marshmallow-heavy s’more. Read more
