My first time here (also my first time trying Japanese BBQ) it was SO GOOD! Very different flavors compared to Korean BBQ. Our server Tyler was really great. He walked us through everything and gave us his recommendations which were all good. He even suggested similar meats that were our favorite at Korean BBQ spots. Would definitely recommend this place and will be returning again.

Very rude water/server/ manager whichever he was , the restaurant specifically said it closes at 8:30, he saw me and my sister walk in at 7:30 and the minute we get to the hostess he makes the comment “today we’ll probably be closing at 8” purposely making us uncomfortable so we asked if we were still able to dine and he says “if you want” he was completely unprofessional and rude. I asked for spicy tuna on crispy rice and he brings it with crumbs of tuna on top it looked more like crumbled tuna on crispy rice instead of spicy tuna on crispy rice.(see the pictures Ive included with this review) I’ve been here so many times and have never had a bad experience. He mentioned to the hostess that it was a slow day and I now understand why. With bad service it’s clear why people do not want to return. I leave Two stars because food other wise was good.

Took the family to Gyu-Kaku in Valencia to try something new and it was great! We had a reservation and got seated right away. Our waiter Timmy was awesome and gave great food tips. Everything we tried was delicious, my family had a blast cooking and eating together. Definitely going back!

Excellent self-cooking BBQ restaurant that offers AYCE, courses, and a wide variety of a la carte options (side dishes, sushi, salad, soup/stew, fried rice, etc.). Affordable and good for solo diners, a couple, friends, and family.
Open on Thanksgiving with special holiday options.
Sarah was outstanding in service!

The holiday for two experience was AMAZING! Hubby and I enjoyed every dish. Well seasoned and super friendly service. The new owner is so hospitable. We can’t wait to go back!
