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 OngApril 6, 2016Best 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 DvlcJuly 18, 2018It 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!
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 :)
Kevin TakNovember 30, 2014Happy 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.
Nick MarquesDecember 27, 2014Everything 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.
Lori ShermanOctober 28, 2018You 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 CabralMarch 22, 2019Delicious 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.
Manuela ZoninseinMarch 12, 2020Great 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.
Jennyffer EncarnacionMay 10, 2016Place 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!
Ariane RinehartSeptember 21, 2016Happy 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 JoishiJune 21, 2014Get 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.
The DoctorSeptember 1, 2013Every 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!- Cooking tip: 30 seconds each side for the hangar steak for medium rare. Two minutes for the chicken and shrimp
KarenMarch 12, 2017One of my favorite places to eat. Our waiter was so attentive. I recommend the meat combos - true to the sharing portions.
Polina WeitzNovember 7, 2022Awesome 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.
Peter ValVerdeAugust 9, 2017Love this place... drinks are very well made service com si com sa but food is fantastic... a tad pricey but fantastic
Duygu TunaOctober 15, 2018with 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
Helen BerhaneApril 28, 2019The 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!- Shifra SamuelAugust 5, 2016The 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
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- 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
Deep BJuly 9, 2014Spicy 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.
EileenMarch 1, 2018Come 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)
Zeynep TugsuzJuly 26, 2016very 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.
Chenny DJanuary 1, 2015New year all you can eat! Only $27 per person!:) the meat is sooo tender! Will def come again!
Jinnie LOctober 13, 2014get the miso chili wings, kobe style bacon & garlic rice, and kobe sampler :) don't forget to get green tea mille crepe for dessert ;)- Felipe Cichini SimõesAugust 25, 2014Loved the pork belly, spicy pork, shrimp. Just be careful with the fire and you'll have an awesome meal.
Petteri UusimaaJanuary 16, 2019Great Japanese bbq to share with friends! Samurai combo good for. group of 4.
- Lori ShermanOctober 28, 2018Great for groups & pre theatre. Really good meats & large quantities! Good value.
Valentina GregoliApril 17, 2017Super tasty meat, great ramen and the small bbq in the middle of the table is fun and makes the experience different and interesting!
Kimmie OhhJuly 17, 2020I 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.
Mrs Alan CraigSeptember 17, 2013Our 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 FishSeptember 29, 2018The happy hour deal is one of the best in the city. All of the meat and beer is discounted! Yum!
Zack SheppardSeptember 15, 2017During happy hour, two 32 ounce beers are more beer and less expensive than a pitcher... #themoreyouknow
- Lane RettigJune 30, 2013Really excellent happy hour lunch deal, on food and drinks. $6 for a huge bowl of noodles! The eel bibimbap is fantastic.
Julie SonJuly 7, 2012Times 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.
honeywhatscooking.comFebruary 15, 2015Kalbi and spicy pork were the best. Shrimp and spinach/garlic were good too.
Sonia SDecember 3, 2016Wow, the attitudes of the two hostesses at the front desk are absolutely, truly despicable. Immediately turned us off and will not return, no matter how good others say this is. I'm shocked.
Lauren FlemingAugust 12, 2019Get the combo platter if you're in the mood to try a bunch of different sauces and meats!
Blake StewartDecember 26, 2017The whole experience was wonderful! Service was great and the food was even better. Truly a must visit
Happy Hour deals are great. Bistro Hanger Steak as delicious and plentiful as most pricier meat options.
Eudia van RavhostJuly 25, 2022We had chefs choice menu.The beef,shrimp , fried rice and Garlic noodles where really great
Get the shrimp with Shio sauce ~ miso skirt steak is yummy! Perfect for groups and couple. Love the spicy chigae ramen too!
Wow is this place great, honestly great customer service and the food is amazing. Can't wait to go again!
Happy hour all day everyday, from the bar only if you tip well. 🍸👍❤️
Pammy MedinaOctober 16, 2013Perfect date night place ladies, there's free mouthwash in the bathroom just in case!
The volcano is known in other places like spicy crispy roll, cheap during happy hour.
