Reviews for Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ in Houston, TX
Nut allergy friendly. Overall, I'd say it's not worth it for $24 after tax and tip. First, upon entering, they won't seat you if... your full party isn't present. Understandable if it's busy but I was the only one in the lobby. Secondly, service was subpar.Issues included: waiter not returning to take order for 5+ minutes despite saying we knew exactly what we wanted; not bringing ato-go box despite two requests; bringing out dishes with significant delay despite the exact same order with a different type ofrice (I ordered the beef sukiyaki and my friend ordered garlic fried rice, it took 15 minutes extra to get hers and we had toask someone about it). Atmosphere was poor from a hardware perspective - our first table had a broken burner and the seats andtable were sticky. We moved tables which is maybe why the garlic fried rice got lost. Lastly, the food was decent but overpricedat $24 for the lunch special ($18ish without upgraded fried rice). And, the water had a very strange taste. It's fun to grillyour own meat but I wouldn't return; there are better KBBQ places for that. Read more
Great atmosphere and great food. The waitstaff were extremely attentive and accommodating. They replaced and replenished our... food and whatever else we needed quickly. Read more
This place made for a wonderful date night. My husband and I ordered the unlimited option and got to adventure around the entire... menu. The server did wonderful and kept the dishes coming, everything tasted exceptional!!! I’ll definitely choose this placeagain for a date night or even a quick lunch with lovely friends. Read more

This location is pretty good, it's not a very big restaurant but the table room is great. Reservations needed on weekends, the... place was filled on Tuesday the day we went. Quality of food was great, delicious, well seasoned, excellent choices...Quantity, I think should be a bit more, for the price you pay I don't think the proportion was large enough. That's why the 4star, they should either give a larger sizes or drop the price some. Overall, we enjoyed our meal, although I left stillsomewhat hungry. We ordered the dinner for 4, white garlic fried rice. Read more

So my wife tells me "Hey I'm going to take you to this restaurant, you'll love it", at first I was like "Oh man this lady is... about to make me spend $200 on two pieces of shrimp and tap water" ????. Anyway, when we arrived, it took about 5-7 minutes toget us seated inside. The rice was absolutely delicious, the beef, chicken, shrimp, were all crazy good!! It was a uniqueexperience having to grill them yourself, they give you advice on how long each item should be grilled. Luckily for me, I had myexpert wife with me! Wonderful experience, to top it off, it was way less than I thought it would be. I will definitely visitagain. 5 Stars!!! Read more
Ordered the $100 menu for 3 people and it was great! Definitely the best option to eat there if you are 3. The table quickly... filled up with small plates with like 8 different meats, a bowl of rice for each one of us, a bowl of soup as well, salad,kimchi and other side dishes that were all delicious. Oh and at the end we got to make some s'mores for dessert! Woulddefinitely come back and recommend to others :) Read more
