Best happy hour in Times Sq (Gyu-kaku's 3rd chain in NYC): M-F 2-6pm & 9:30-close; Sat & Sun 11-6pm. Stay for both :)hrs on wkdays & you can drink & eat yourself silly!

Chee Yi Ong

Best BBQ course meal around the area! Try the Fuji course for 2 or the Kobe-style course if you're feeling extravagant. Friendly staff offers great service: they tell you how long to cook the meat for

Nigar Dvlc

It was super good! All the meat was delicious; tender and well seasoned. Kirin beer on tap was great. Happy hour between 9:30 and 11 was unreal... reduced prices for food and drinks!

Kevin Tak

Happy hour all year round. Take a chance on it. It's more than valuable discount , you will love the variety of beef . If you don't know which you would like, please try one of the courses.

Mandar M

Here's a tip - unscrew the tip of each of the three sauce bottles and pour direct from the bottle! Otherwise you will take forever pouring the sauces into the container :)

Nick Marques

Everything is so good... get the scallion with sauce add on. Delicious to cook with or by itself. The seared tuna appetizer is some of the best tuna I've ever had. The meal combos are also excellent.

Manuela Zoninsein

Great for groups - request the private room in the back - especially if you need an early and quick pre-theater meal. Good for a mixed group (eg, kids/adults, meat-eaters/vegs) as you can customize.

Eman Abdulaziz

Loved the place. The meat is supper yummy. Staff are friendly .

Lori Sherman

You get good value here...a lot of meats...beef,chicken, veggies you cook yourself on Bbq . Very good & large quantity. Great pre theatre place.

Gisela Cabral

Delicious Japanese bbq . My husband and I tried the meat menu with a good selection of meat, plus rice , miso soup & salad . The only problem, in my opinion, was the level of noisy inside the place.

Duygu Tuna

with more than 600 worldwide restaurants it always be our first choice while traveling around the world ! It’s our favorite spot as Japanese yakiniku restaurant

Ariane Rinehart

Happy hour here is incredible. Can't beat half price beer and mixed drinks at the bar (and food after 10:30). Have only had food at the bar , but it's always delicious.

Rashmi Joishi

Get a free edamame with an fb checkin. Try the harami skirt steak , spicy pork , spicy tuna volcano . For dessert try the mochi ice-cream with 4 flavors of which green tea one's the best.

Karen

One of my favorite places to eat. Our waiter was so attentive. I recommend the meat combos - true to the sharing portions.

Helen Berhane

The spinach with garlic is so delicious. The ny strip and sirloin were both delicious. The shrimp & salmon was also very very good!! Service was phenomenal!

The Doctor

Every special they had on my visit this evening was worth every penny! From the $ 8.00 pitcher of Kirin beer to the House Sake ! No matter what we ordered, the end result was A+...Go there and enjoy!

Jennyffer Encarnacion

Place is amazing, little skeptical at first because you have to cook your own food but omg was everything delicious! Word to the wise the dinner for 2 deal is enough food for about 3-4 people!

Mandar M

Cooking tip: 30 seconds each side for the hangar steak for medium rare. Two minutes for the chicken and shrimp

Polina Weitz

Awesome food overall. The meat lovers' special is delicious (upgrade it all, the bibimbop is worth it!). Service was great, and it was a great dining experience.

Shifra Samuel

The menu was affordable as is but we came during happy hour which made it even more worth it! The Kalbi short ribs and lamb chops were amazing

Deep B

Spicy Tuna Volcano and the Spicy Abi Tempura Ramen is very good.. My waitress Giovanni was so sweet and courteous. Worth it, esp. during happy hours . Thank you.

Eileen

Come here for happy hour ! I liked the bistro hanger steak (tender). The New York strip steak was too tough. Pork belly is average (I like it at kbbq better)

Felipe Cichini Simões

Loved the pork belly , spicy pork , shrimp . Just be careful with the fire and you'll have an awesome meal.

Valentina Gregoli

Super tasty meat, great ramen and the small bbq in the middle of the table is fun and makes the experience different and interesting!

Peter ValVerde

Love this place... drinks are very well made service com si com sa but food is fantastic... a tad pricey but fantastic

Petteri Uusimaa

Great Japanese bbq to share with friends! Samurai combo good for. group of 4.

Zeynep Tugsuz

very interesting experience, a barbecue meal with lots of side dish and salad options, you can grill fish , meat or chicken , even vegetables . but be prepare to smell gross when you exit the rest.

Lori Sherman

Great for groups & pre theatre . Really good meats & large quantities! Good value .

Lou Carulli

Great service! First time here and food is delicious. Happy hour pricing makes this place a winner for half price drinks and nearly half price food

Mrs Alan Craig

Our Favorite! We come here every two weeks or more. Always fresh and delish! Fun and forces you to interact! We love it! Staff is wonderful!

Alex Fish

The happy hour deal is one of the best in the city . All of the meat and beer is discounted ! Yum!

Mandar M

Try the three meat lunch combo - spicy pork , basil chicken , hangar steak yumm.. Service was great! Four different waiters checked on me in ten minutes wow

Noelle

Cheapest meal I've ever had in the city ! Pretty much happy hour all day ????

Chenny D

New year all you can eat ! Only $27 per person!:) the meat is sooo tender! Will def come again!

Jinnie L

get the miso chili wings , kobe style bacon & garlic rice , and kobe sampler :) don't forget to get green tea mille crepe for dessert ;)

Kimmie Ohh

I appreciate the “show” when the employees prepare the garlic fried rice here. This is the only Gyu-Kaku location that I’ve been to that does this.

honeywhatscooking.com

Kalbi and spicy pork were the best. Shrimp and spinach/garlic were good too.

Blake Stewart

The whole experience was wonderful! Service was great and the food was even better. Truly a must visit

Joyce Chong

Lunch menu is worth it. Pick two meats for $10 or pick three for $15. Comes with salad soup and rice

Zack Sheppard

During happy hour , two 32 ounce beers are more beer and less expensive than a pitcher ... #themoreyouknow

Lane Rettig

Really excellent happy hour lunch deal , on food and drinks. $6 for a huge bowl of noodles ! The eel bibimbap is fantastic.

Eudia van Ravhost

We had chefs choice menu.The beef ,shrimp , fried rice and Garlic noodles where really great

Pammy Medina

Perfect date night place ladies, there's free mouthwash in the bathroom just in case!

Michael Zhong

Happy Hour deals are great. Bistro Hanger Steak as delicious and plentiful as most pricier meat options.

Lauren Fleming

Get the combo platter if you're in the mood to try a bunch of different sauces and meats!

Julie Son

Times square location is spacious and trendy looking. Good food. More included in their bbq packages. Lava cake good. layered green tea crepe was good/ok.

Suki Soo

Get the shrimp with Shio sauce ~ miso skirt steak is yummy! Perfect for groups and couple. Love the spicy chigae ramen too!

Dan

If you can't make reservations thru open table. Try calling! Half price drink is awesome from 930 pm to close Mon to Thu.
