    Fabulous food and good service as usual. We got our grate changed frequently this time which was nice and they helped us get a more comfortable table as we were 5 people plus a baby. It really helped that it was a Wednesday night though--this place does get busy. Great ambiance inside. They shout a Japanese greeting as you walk in. Pics included. We had some great meats, rice, and veggies. Only wish the bigger tables had two grills in them. One doesn't make sense. We couldn't all eat at a normal pace. We had the egg rolls this time around, crunch and superb. Hanger steak was new for us this time, excellent, would get again. Beef tongue--pretty good! Not bad.

    The tonkotsu ramen at Gyu-Kaku...Way over salted
    Gary W.

    Gyu-Kaku is primarily a Japanese bbq spot located on the restaurant row section of Main St in White Plains It's also listed on Yelp as the closest spot to me that serves ramen This past Monday I had a real hankering for a bowl on a cold winters day, so decided to give this establishment a try on the spur of the moment for a late lunch I sat at the bar and ordered a Asahi draft (on special) & their tonkotsu ramen The food came out fairly fast and I took my first bite & was immediately disappointed While it certainly looked the part, I've tasted dozens of ramens, but this was far & away the saltiest bowl of ramen I have ever eaten! So much so, I couldn't eat more than a few bites Moreover my complaints to my bartender/server fell on deaf ears...which reeks of poor management Gyu-Kaku may or may not be good for Japanese bbq but I caution folks while dining there, their ramen offerings should definitely be avoided at all costs

    Came here with some friends for the all you can eat menu. The food as always is amazing. The goza fried dumplings are always amazing and I can eat 20 of them like it's nothing!!! The only issue here is when it's busy, it can take a while for your next round of meat to come out leading to awkward waiting times which eats at your time period. Will come back again for sure!

    Here we are 2 years later and not much has changed. This time was a belated mothers day. Thankfully the weather was on our side mild, but we had reservations and didn't have to wait. We arrived and were seated within 5 minutes. Again everything seemed rushed from the time we sat down. No sooner did we pick up the menu we were asked what we would like. Our server Aylin was very attentive. We were finally ready to place our order. Liked the last time the food came out in rapid fire succession , first the salad, immediately after the soup which was sadly tasteless, for miso soup it was more green in flavor. While still working on the soup the plates of meat arrived, plate after plate. On to the food. The selection of meat was the standard chicken which seemed overly pesto like, then there was some other meats that were interesting to say the least. Some of the meat did not get the pleasure of a marinade bath. Some pieces were stuck together, other pieces were not sure almost scrap like. Finally the other white meat the pork, probably the best of the selection. The place was not busy so I see no reason for the rush act.

    Lol, I'm a bit biased because I used to work at this location, but Gyu-Kaku hits when you want it to hit. Sometimes you just want to pig out (they have AYCE options) and enjoy a few drinks with friends, and this is the right place to do that. Absolutely get the Bistro Hanger and the Corn Butter. My husband loves the Sukiyaki Beef Bibimbap. Space is pretty big; they have a back room, a little cozy corner tucked away with a few tables, and a spacious front. It does get pretty busy on weekends especially in the evenings, so I recommend you make a reservation. Servers are so friendly, and I'm not just saying that because I've worked with them before. Overall a great go-to spot for some premium barbecue.

    Amazing food and service! The meats were so tasty! Highly recommend this place to others!

    Spicy Tuna Volcano

    I was staying in a hotel around the corner and I decided to pop in for dinner, I always come in for the Spicy Tuna Volcano, it's honestly one of my favorite dishes, but this time I also tried the Garlic Shiyo Cabbage since it's a newer item on the menu and it was amazing, super fresh and crunchy with an amazing sauce on top very straightforward, but delicious. The garlic rice was amazing per usual, and the meat was fresh and tasted amazing. I have been coming to Gyu-Kaku for years and it remains one of my favorite spots because it's always consistent . I love their happy hour. I always do a Mango Mai Tai and they are always bomb, the service is always friendly and fast paced and it's one of my favorite places for good food and good vibes every time it's always a hit. I came back the next day because everything was so amazing, I can't wait to go back.

    I went here for my daughter's 9th birthday. It was five of us. Three adults and two children. We were seated right away. The staff is very friendly and professional. The food was good. I would have loved to give them 5 starts. However, the menu was a bit overwhelming. They brought three different menus and it was difficult to narrow down what we wanted. We settled for the Yakiniku for four, which wound up being perfect because the kids ate some of it too. We also order two kids meals. The kids were not too fond of the selections. They ate the chicken and picked over the corn, rice. edamame and the plum tomatoes. The ambiance was chill and can be enjoyed for a variety of reasons. From date night to family style dinner this place is appropriate. We didn't wait long for our food and the portions were a good size. We had a good experience and I will be going back there just because.

    Service was great. Place was clean. Out waiter was very helpful in explaining everything and making great suggestions as it was our first time dining here. Drinks came out quick as well as apps. Everything was delicious and the way the food came out was perfect as we didn't feel rushed. Definitely will be back.

    Food is amazing as always. Service was great. Gustavo was an excellent waiter. I highly recommend the fried calamari to start always. My second recommendation would be the garlic fried rice with any choice of steak they offer.

    Super cute spot in downtown White Plains! I celebrated my birthday here with my family (6 adults…read moreand 2 kids). The staff was incredibly accommodating and attentive throughout our visit. That said, I wouldn't necessarily recommend bringing very active children, as the rooftop/bar atmosphere is better suited for a more relaxed dining experience. Our reservation was at 3:30 PM on a Saturday, so we ordered from the brunch menu. Had we waited another 30 minutes, we would have been able to order from the dinner menu, but my party wasn't interested in waiting. The food was delicious--especially the buffalo wings! The drinks were strong and well-made. I opted for the bottomless bellinis, and our server made sure my glass was never empty. As a birthday treat, I received a complimentary bread pudding, which was a thoughtful gesture, although it was a bit dry for my taste. Overall, we had a great experience and I'll definitely be returning to try the dinner menu.rooftop

We were seated in a nice booth and service was good. We had some coffee which was standard fare - basically diner quality but drinkable. Some ice cold water. All good We ordered the eggs Benedict, some pancakes, and the lobster roll. I had the eggs and they were cooked well with a ham and high volume of hollandaise. I usually have the hollandaise on the side, but as a cardinal error, I had forgotten to ask them for that. The sauce was overpowering a little bit too sour for my liking, and as it turns out did not agree with me. Next time I will avoid that. The lobster roll was well received with no mayonnaise, which was great. And the pancakes were also good.
