Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ

You would never go wrong in this place. Quality price is really good. Go for the rice and try different meats ... all of them are a good choice. Skip the chicken

A Japanese BBQ where you cook your own food on a grill in the middle of the table.They offer reduced prices everyday from 11:30-3:00 and from 4:30-6:00. They also have daily drink specials .

Service a little hit or miss but their happy hour (go in before 6) rules. Fun, tasty, interactive yakiniku . Get, uh, the meat. And the bibimbap . Set menus are plentiful and awesome from hungry groups.

Heads-up: Their meat portions are huge. “For 2 people” could easily feed 3, maybe 4. Insanely delicious, with chill wait staff (and on the night we were there, a stellar 90s playlist).

I decided to try Gyu-Kaku based on the good reviews that I read here and they were completely right! food is amazing, we had lots of fun preparing our own BBQ and the service is great! Worth going!

A very popular Japanese BBQ spot in Streeterville. Usually there's a wait among a lot of Asians :) Reasonable prices but add up quickly. Go for happy hours . Their cocktails are really light.

Everything on the menu is great. Excellent service . The portions are smaller than you'd expect, so order more than you think you'd eat, especially during happy hour !

Very similar to Korean grilled BBQ style. Kindly reminder to make a reservation before walking in to prevent long waiting queue.

The BBQ and appetizers are great. Expect a very, very long wait on weekends and holidays. You can order from the kitchen at the bar on the 2nd floor.

Must get harami skirt steak ! The Kalbi short ribs are a little too fatty for me. Bibimibap was amazing along with s'mores . Filet mignon is only ok. Chicken was pretty good.

Amazing food at steep prices. Multiple plates add up quickly. Worth trying at least once. Garlic noodles on the side are delicious and filling.

Excellent fire course. Premium meat is also nice. Will come again!

Super busy so I recommend making a reservation for sure. Meats are all good, but definitely try the veggies too!

This was my first experience with Japanese BBQ and it was amazing. Everything we had was delicious.

The combos are a great deal for families. Try the green tea ice cream .

The meat is delicious and the grill and service are very good! ????????????????

If it's your first time, get one of the pre-set meals. It's a good intro.

Always fun! We are big eaters so get the meal for 4 for 2 people and meal for 6 for 4 people

Kalbi soup , spicy tuna over crispy rice , spicy cucumbers

Happy hour lunch special is the best! Get the meat lovers set! It's amazing!

The kobe steak and the kalbi short ribs are amazing! Even better with a good drink like the lychee mojito .

We got Kobe style beef , scallop , lamb chop . All solid

Really fun date spot . The garlic rice is phenomenal. All of the food is amazing.

Interactive (cook-you-own) Japanese BBQ . The higher floors (yes, it's more than the first level) offer fun seating arrangements.

We had a geisha course for 2. More food than we could eat

All-you-can eat menus are a great way to try a variety of dishes without commitment

Love it! The food is amazing, also the place is lovely

For everyone not from Chicago...This "Japanese BBQ" is really a Korean BBQ spot but good regardless. Good food, good atmosphere.

Harami skirt steak is always great. Also try the sukiyaki bibimbop ! I can eat the whole bowl even though I usually watch the carbs

Harami Skirt Steak ... one of their best choices !!

Happy Hour is a MUST 11-6pm very good prices....try to go to the 3rd floor it is beautiful

Don't forget to wipe.

One the best places to take your tourist friends and double dates! Love it!

The garlic rice is the best and the spicy pork is a must have. Love the staff every one is so friendly !

For a better, and more expensive , Japanese experience within walking distance of the pier , this is the restaurant .

Bistro Harami Miso is the Bomb. Also amazing sakitini!

Lunch set specials are $10, a fantastic deal

Great all you can eat place!

Awesome as always . Jessi is be most attintive and best waitress I have ever meet. 5 stars jessi!!!!!!!

Everything about this place is delicious. Minus the wait time and of ability to meet a reservation on-time.

Incredible happy hour special with 50 percent off hibachi meats and veggies . Try the Kalbi or spicy pork !

Grab some Asahi here. It's one of my favorite Japanese beers .

Hit or miss service. Come during happy hour or else it's really not worth dining here.

Everything was lovely!

Amazing food, fried rice and leechee cocktail !

All-you-can-eat menus, affordable lunch specials

A lot of fun, very reasonable, great for groups

The food it’s excellent! Spicy tofu is really good!
