Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ in Torrance

My son and I both ordered All you can eat. My sons order was $45, but I got a great discount for over 60 for $29.50, so I felt like I was getting a good deal.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Hokkaido dinner ($95, feeds two people). Service was quick and very attentive. We had two grill changes which means our meat was constantly being grilled very cleanly.Highly recommend coming here, it never disappoints. You MUST listen to their grilling suggestions because they know the perfect amount of time to grill everything. If they don’t say anything, then ask about it. If you overcook your food then that’s ultimately your fault!

Service was acceptable. Staff was friendly and they brought our drink and food quickly. However, they did not refill our hot tea even once. No change of grill neither. Meat was of good quality. Cant speak the same for the miso soup, it was very diluted and had no taste at all.

Sooo good. The garlic edamame was not as good as I would have liked...but otherwise the food is amazing! Service was great...checked on us the perfect amount of times. Make reservations during happy hour if you can...prices were great!

Not worth the hype. I believe its busy quite often due to the lack of japanese BBQs in the area. The hype about seeing your meat being cooked in front of you seems to be why people go here. The food was pretty bland, always having to add something to it. Drinks were okay, I would suggest somewhere else if youre dying to try japanese bbq and if you are considering going make your reservation at least 3 days prior.The spicy cucumber were the only things that kicked with flavor.

Came here during Dine LA where they had a $45/pp deal for a choice of appetizer, two meats, a premium meat, dessert, and rice + miso soup. We had a reservation for 7:15pm but they seated us 10 minutes past our slot. Indoor dining only (no outdoor options). Free parking lot. Credit cards accepted. Most of the seating appeared to be for groups of two or four. Family-friendly.The meat portions are smaller but good quality. I really liked the poke nachos I had too (they were in a sweet sauce). The ceviche had a nice tang too. The spicy pork did have a kick to it. You have a variety of sauces including a spicy one, soy sauce, and yuzu. There was a helpful paper guide on the wall that showed recommended cook times for the meats. For dessert, they were out of the matcha ice cream but we got the s’mores (come in 2). The chocolate provided is just two pieces of Hershey chunks so you’ll get a more marshmallow-heavy s’more.

Celebrated my birthday here and had a great time. Food was excellent, mostly ordered appetizers for some reason. Gyoza with chili sauce, Gyu Kaku salad, egg rolls, salmon salad, BBQ shrimp, bacon and broccoli were all delicious. If you go before 5:00 the appetizers are 1/2 off which helps when you have 2 teenage boys who are always hungry. Get a reservation, it’s really hard to get in otherwise.

This is an amazing place! Delicious food & great service. We loved the premium sirloin & the kabli short rib too! Plum wine was perfect.

Great Japanese BBQ spot. You pick out your meats and they bring them out for you to grill at your table. The flavors and quality are solid and happy hour prices on beer and saki are great. Service could be a little bit more quick and we have had dirty utensils (cooking tongs) that we had to send back for replacement but otherwise we really enjoy this spot over and over.One thing that is really concerning is that the bathrooms are a complete disaster. Filthy floors (5 minutes after restaurant had opened), sink and wall urinal separated from the wall, peeling caulk and water damage. One wonders if this is how the restaurant cleans what the customer can see, what are they doing behind the scenes where we cant see... I still eat here but if I get sick I wont have anyone to blame but myself.

This place has been one of my favorites for over 5 years and today was my 1st time trying the all you can eat option they have to offer. It was absolutely amazing and we ate soooo much food. It was also cool because we tried things we probably wouldnt have and our waiter made some good recommendations as well. Jared, our waiter, took great care of us and really made us feel welcome. My go to items are the garlic noodles, the garlic fried rice, and the japanese chicken karaage. I order those before anything else. They also have great mochi options and I enjoyed all of them. I would highly recommend this place to everyone.
