Restaurant Bar Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Came here 7.30.22 I definitely like how they had happy hour late.. Cheaper drinks.... Food was really good... Kevin was a good waiter.... I enjoyed this experience of cooking my food.... I would say that for 2 ppl the 80 dollar option ( value course)is definitely enough. It's tons of food.... Hostes... People often mention good, great, service, time, meat, experience, meats, recommend, order, Miami,

    The service here very professional and friendly. You must have a reservation or else they will not accept you. They have a huge menu with many options to choose from and they have courses options from 2-6 people where they have everything included from appetizer, entree, and dessert. They bring small portion of meats and you can test a little of everything. However, their meat tasted okay, nothing fancy. You’re paying for service and spending time with friends/family, but their meats is okay. The prices is a little high for small portion of meats, but I guess it’s the experience. Their appetizer is delicious so totally recommend trying it out. But a good restaurant to spend time with friends and family while your food is cooking.

    My girlfriend and I were just looking for some place where have our monthly date, and we got the right place to do it. It was an amazing and fun experience to spent time making your own food. I had a good time there, the waiter Kevin was kind and polite, the only thing that we actually didn’t like was the fact that we got a table right after the kitchen, but next time we’re gonna booked for a better sitting.

    Was craving Asian bbq after eating all types of other cuisines in Miami, and this spot was minutes away from our hotel. Ordered the chefs choice package ($100) for the 2 of us and it was a great deal and the perfect amount of food. We were hungry and it came with several sides (can't substitute, so we also ordered spicy tofu soup) and high quality cuts of meat. And the best part, we didn't stink afterwards which was surprising since it didn't have the overhead vents that sucked up the smoke. Def check this place out everything was really delicious and fresh!

    This place was a top notch experience. We went there with two couples and ordered the deal that feeds four people. It was enough food and then some. It was so good we all ate more than I think we did our whole trip. It really was an amazing time just having drinks and cooking our food to each of ours preference. Waitress was very accommodating.

    I like this spot. The only reason I am giving it only 4 stars is due to the service during my latest visit, which was coincidentally when I planned to publish my many reviews. The server probably should have taken the night off or choose another job. We had to ask and wait for everything multiple times and the server didn’t bother to tell us that some items were not available on the menu. We had to wait 20 minutes for a knife just to cut a piece of meat only to find out that the knives offered to guest are butter knives and that scissors were available. The server should have prepared the scissors with the chopsticks and other utensils. Lastly, the miso soup was “forgotten” although it’s the first part of the meal, so we were served it “to go” after we requested it. The meat is delicious as well as the rice, and the beer and drinks are good. Next time I go, I hope for better service and if successful, I will update my review.

    So we visited this place in miami and we have one in uptown charlotte..I don't know if them run the same but in miami if you sit at the bar you can enjoy the HH all day! You don't have to cook your food...which I liked cause I was starving! Food came out like tapas..whatever was ready came out! Food came out delicious and piping hot! Our bartender was really sweet. They did not have a big selection on whiskey and bourbons if that's your thing. Plenty of seating. Best part about them...they give you sanitizer wipes!!👏🏾 definitely recommend the crab Rangoon, the HH wings..I think they were black pepper, the garlic noodles and fried rice!

    Everything was great food, service, and atmosphere. Amazing variety of meat cuts and seafood. The best part is that you can grill by yourself I wished if they had an air hood For the parking, you can park at the hotel next to the restaurant for around 14$ Definitely will visit again

    Decent Korean BBQ. Not many around Miami. Not all you can eat like most originally are. Only at specific times and high prices. Appetizers were solid. Got many beef and pork cuts and they all tasted great, didn't feel like sauce was needed. Good place to come if you have Korean bbq craving. Should be cheaper and ayce

    Every Sunday they have happy hour all day! I would recommend getting the feast specials The meat choices are great and the overall experience is pleasant The lava cake was so warm and chocolaty Loved the bbq ribeye and their dumplings I wish that the servers were more attentive with clearing out tables as you dine but other than that this is a great option is you’re craving Korean bbq at a good price

    My husband and I went during happy hour for our first time. Amazing service; our waiter kept checking on us, refilled water without asking, food came out very quickly. The quality of the meat was outstanding and we plan on coming back for special occasions. The prices were fair, we got the chefs choice combo for two people. The add-ons were priced great (since we went during happy hour) and we will definitely be returning customers.

    If you have never been to eat here & are scrolling through reviews to see what people say about it STOP reading this & go there! We’ve eaten at several across the U.S. & they’re all 🔥. The consistency is always spot on, the food is always great & you cook it yourself so there won’t be any asking the waiter to bring anything back except for empty plates! The only thing I wish they would do is open one in Tampa, or let us open one in Tampa 😎🙌🏼

    Great food. A little expensive for the amount of food you receive. Good service and the noodles along with the meats were full of flavor.

    Hands down one of the best Korean bbq joints in Miami. Been coming to this spot for over a decade and it doesn’t disappoint. Get the wings to start and order the short rib as a main, plus all the other proteins too.

  • 4/5 Quan N. 7 months ago on Google
    Very nice place near our hotel in the Financial District of Miami .. the food was very good and the server was very patient and helpful in explaining the process of ordering as well as the food options .. ordered a combo that comes with different meats in their raw state so you can cook it as you go with the burner in the center of your table .. would go there again when in Miami

    Gyu-Kaku is a Japanese barbecue restaurant in Miami where you become the chef at your table grill. I highly recommend their BBQ courses for groups since the portions are generous, ensuring no one leaves hungry. The service is attentive, and the prices are quite reasonable. It's a fantastic dining experience that combines fun, flavor, and affordability. Whether you're a seasoned grill master or a first-timer, Gyu Kaku delivers a memorable meal every time.

  • 5/5 Laura S. 9 months ago on Google
    Always so good and busy! Make a reservation if you don’t want to wait for a grill table. Everything my friend ordered and cooked was amazing and loved the service telling us how long to cook each piece ideally. Great for large parties too and a good deal everyday!

  • 4/5 Charmain C. 8 months ago on Google
    Cool spot where you cook your own foods. Small samples of the meats. We needed to add salt and pepper for more flavor. Will return and try something different.

  • 5/5 Wee Y. 6 months ago on Google
    First time and it didn't disappoint. Dario our server took his time to explain how to order through the various menus. Any questions we had, he was happy to answer. We did a la carte and everything was tasty. Would highly recommend the hanger steak.

  • 5/5 Alex S. 6 months ago on Google
    Great place and thoroughly enjoyed the night. I can tell everyone dining here is having a good time. Fantastic food.

  • 5/5 JEREMY R. 8 months ago on Google
    Visiting here from AZ and everything was flavorful and delicious. I love the fact that I cooled my own food. The spicy cucumber was my favorite appetizer. They had a custom Miami spice menu which provided a robust lunch combo. The salad was ok as the dressing was a cream base and and a ginger base that I am used to. The atmosphere was excellent and service was good but he forgot one of the items but quickly took care of it once I reminded him.

  • 5/5 Anas S. 1 year ago on Google
    Experience was good, staff and atmosphere was great. We ordered the Yakiniku Party for 4. Food was enough for four. The Hanger steak, Ribeye, and short rib were our favorites. Noodles were good too. Definitely a good place for a date or a group of friends.

  • 5/5 Andrei D. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing cocktails and service. Andrea such a great server. And all other staff are extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations. I really recommend for japanese experience of cooking by yourself.

  • 4/5 Anna B. 1 year ago on Google
    Overall experience was great. We had to wait for a table but they let us sit at the bar and order drinks and apps while we waited. The food was great except one meat but that's purely my preference. Our grill was extra smokey and heated unevenly for some reason. They were extremely busy but service was still pretty good.

  • 3/5 Sapphire H. 1 year ago on Google
    The overall meal was good. Disappointed with the salad, it was moldy, and it made me question myself about the freshness of the rest of the meal. Make no mistake, It’s free and comes with the bento box meal, so you don’t have to eat it if you don’t want to, but if I wasn’t paying attention I would’ve eaten mold. Please check the salads thoroughly before distributing to Uber eats and other pick up companies.

    It was really fun! You get to select plates of raw meat or vegetables and grill them at your table. We tried the meat lovers special which gives you a bunch of appetizers and then a various selection of meats. If you can, order a separate plate of the kobe style beef, it was divine.

  • 5/5 Ale A. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is recommended. The restaurant offers a nice variety of packages you can select for two or more. The drinks are excellent and the service is fast. The bar bites as well as the fried rice is amazing!! The sauces used to condiment the meats of your preference are divine!

  • 4/5 Sebastián m. 2 years ago on Google
    This place was a top notch experience, it offers a big menu with a nice variety of packages, once you order your food the waiter will bring it to you and your meat/pork will be seasoned. the waiter will give you instructions of the time each order has to go on the grill you need to pay close attention so it doesn’t overcook. My only complaint is that the quantity of the food comes in small portions, besides from that this place is wonderful my favorite part was the dessert. - Sebastian Moreno
