Bewertungen von Gyu-Kaku Austin
We came on a Tuesday night and loved that it wasn’t too busy. The relaxed atmosphere made conversation easy. Our server, Angelina, was sweet and attentive, changing our grills often and checking in at the right moments. The meat quality was great and we’d definitely come back! There is ample street parking and a parking garage behind the building that I believe you can validate at the restaurant.
The food was amazing! Very busy I would advise to make a reservation! The fryer was broken 😞 so we didn’t get a chance to eat anything fried. Definitely worth you trying.
Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ offers an exceptional dining experience with its interactive BBQ style. The meats are fresh, tender, and flavorful, and grilling them at the table adds an engaging touch. The dipping sauces are rich, enhancing the flavor of the grilled dishes. Service is attentive, and the atmosphere is lively and fun, making it perfect for group dining. A bit on the pricier side, but worth the experience.
Genevieve was an excellent waiter and played a big role in making our experience so enjoyable. She was friendly, attentive, and professional, creating a relaxed atmosphere right away. She knew the menu well and gave great recommendations, and everything she suggested turned out to be just right. What really stood out was how she went above and beyond in small but meaningful ways—checking in at the perfect times, making sure everything was exactly how we wanted it, and handling every detail smoothly without making it feel forced or overdone. She struck a great balance between being helpful and giving us space, which made the whole meal feel effortless. Thanks to Genevieve, the service felt thoughtful and well cared for, and she definitely made the experience better than expected.
We had such a great experience here. Our server Angelina made the night even better. She was friendly, attentive, and really knew the menu. She explained how everything worked, and gave excellent recommendations. She made the whole experience feel easy and fun, especially for our first time doing Japanese BBQ. The food was amazing, but her service is what really stood out, that’s gonna make us come back. Highly recommend that you go. Ask for Angelina🩷
Gen and Bach waited our table and were great hosts! It was our first time and Gen went through all of our options and made recommendations based off of our tastes and expectations. They were both incredibly helpful and attentive despite how busy the restaurant was. We definitely recommend and plan to return in the future!
Great first experience at Gyu-Kaku! Our server was fantastic Gen was super friendly, explained how everything worked, and made me feel really welcome since it was my first time there. She checked in at the perfect times and made the whole meal feel easy and fun. Definitely made the experience better!
Angelina handled our party of 20 flawlessly. She was organized, fast, calm under pressure, and somehow still had everyone laughing. Service was smooth, orders were perfect, and the energy at our table was great the entire time. We were even talking with other tables and random guests around us, and multiple random people kept saying how much they loved her too. Our whole group can’t wait to come back and is already planning to bring more friends and family just to sit with her again.
Oh where do I start!!! First of all Genevieve was outstanding she explained each and every menu in detail and we went with every one of her suggestions and we were not disappointed! Angelina also helped us because we kept getting them confused! Angelina was hilarious she had us smiling the whole time along with genevieve! Beautiful girls!!! Gyu kaku you did an amazing job hiring these two girls! You best treat them well! We 1000% will be returning for the food but also very much so for the awesome vibes these two girls brought in to our atmosphere. Definitely our new Friday spot. ASK FOR GENEVIEVE OR ANGELINA WHEN YOU COME HERE YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!!!!
Perfect date night spot! We came in and Bach quickly sat us down at our table and was really accommodating and made sure we ordered our food and got it in a timely manner. Gen took over our table and ensured we were taken care of for the remainder of the time. We will be back again.
Tin, our server, was great! It was my first time trying out Japanese bbq, but he explained the menu well and we got to try out the meat lovers! :D
Fantastic experience! Angelina was amazing, she suggested us the ultimate and every single meat was delicious. She also offered us beverage suggestions, the mango tango and the peach lemon drop were delicious! She was very outgoing and made our experience feel so personal, we will absolutely be back, thank you again Angelina!!!
I had an amazing 1st time here and was more than welcomed by the perfect waitress I had, Genevieve! She immediately welcomed us and sat us down, gave us a brief preview of the menu that explained everything perfectly, and even had the most amazing and positive attitude from a waitress I've ever had!! She made my 1st dining experience here fantastic and memorable for sure.
Phenomenal! Our server Angelina was AMAZING. The kitchen was understaffed and there were some minor delays on food due to it being a busy evening, and despite this she managed to keep us updated on the status of food, as well as wait times being relatively low. She was friendly and offered amazing service!
Everything tasted fantastic! The prices might seem high at first but we got so much food we had leftovers for 2 more meals. Would love to come back!
Came to Gyu-Kaku yesterday and had a great time. Our server Bach was very attentive the whole meal and always greeted us with big smiles. We ordered the Ultimate set and honestly loved everything we picked. The meat is marinated really well and there are so many options, so it’s easy to find favorites.
Came for the lunch prices, was not disappointed! Food was very good and the pick 3 meats lunch combo was good. Our server Tin was very attentive and kind. Will be coming back!
I visited last Saturday. I had never been to a Japanese barbecue restaurant before. I was nervous because I was dining alone. None of my friends wanted to come with me unfortunately. I’m very happy I chose to dine alone. The waiter was so friendly and educated me on how everything worked. Explained the entire menu to me front and back. The food was amazing as well. I definitely will be back and will be bringing family!
Truly delicious and a great choice for Restaurant Weeks in Austin!!! The service was fantastic and the food speaks volumes for itself. Highly recommend!
The meat was fresh. Andrea was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was just right throughout the meal. I’ll definitely be coming back!
It was delicious! Our server Jenny was very attentive and came by our table whenever we needed! Green tea ice cream and seaweed soup hits the spot! Will definitely be back if we come back in Austin
My wife and I come here all the time for the fried cheese wantons and the steam dumplings (harami skirt steak being or close second favorite). Ashley was a great server and very attentive. We’ll be back soon for another pitcher of beer and some yummy food. Thanks!
Ashley!! Shout out to her, oh my goodness! Her attention!!, and she explained patiently every detail of the menu, and she delivered items explaining what was each type of meat and how long it was suggested to be cooked. The Kobe meat is out of this planet! I am definitely coming back with more friends! What a gem of Japanese cuisine! (Just change the music… play beautiful Japanese music and this would be 11/10)
Tobi was AMAZING! I’ve had the pleasure to dine in with Tobi 3 times and he’s been phenomenal each time! Thank you for going above and beyond when it came to ordering our delicious Chef’s Choice course and helping me choose a substitute for my food allergy! Can’t wait to have Tobi as our server again!
I usually eat in but today I just grabbed lunch. Jasmine took my order and handed it to me. She’s always great. My first visit was a year ago and she still has the best demeanor. The atmosphere was quiet and welcoming… good vibes only 😎 Today, I had the Spicy Beef ramen. It’s so flavorful and not too spicy actually. The ramen comes with a salad for $14.
This was our first time dining here, and wow — what a gem! From the moment we walked in, we felt like VIPs, and that’s largely thanks to Jasmine. She wasn’t just our waitress — she was our guide, our hype woman, and basically the highlight of our evening. Friendly, funny, and so knowledgeable, she made navigating the menu so easy and gave us some awesome recommendations we never would’ve thought to try. The food? Phenomenal. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and the presentation was such a great experience! Between the incredible dishes and Jasmine’s top-tier service, this meal felt more like an experience than just dinner. We’re already planning our next visit — and we’ll definitely be asking for Jasmine again!

Great overall experience. The meat was really good. Small critique with be that it took a while to get our first couple of meats, but after that we hit a flow. Shasa was a great waiter and thoroughly explained the menu!
It's been a while! Kind of forgot about the experience. Overall it was satisfying, just a lot of the meat selections are available. We only got noticed after sitting down and picked our buffet grade ... Would have appreciated more if we were notified earlier! Surprisingly only the tofu and the matcha ice cream really left something in our memories. The meats were very sauced up, so we don't really get to taste their original flavor. Would prefer to tasted more of the original flavors in the food selections.
We came pretty late in the evening thinking that their kitchen was open way later since they had reservations available until 10:30 PM. However, their kitchen closes at 9:50? Anyways, while that was …

I’ve been to Gyu-Kaku in Dallas and Denver and have always loved the experience, so I was excited to try the Austin location. The food was excellent. Fresh, well-marinated, and tender cuts of meat. We especially like the hanger steak. We ordered the 90-minute Ultimate all-you-can-eat. Unfortunately, our server disappeared for long stretches, including about 40 minutes toward the end — no check-ins and no check brought until we flagged someone down. Still a fan of Gyu-Kaku overall, but hoping the Austin location improves service to match the food.
Given the price point of $65, I expected more. They were out of chicken breast, vanilla ice cream, chocolate for the s'mores (kind of essential), had no lemons or limes for the drinks, and there ap…
Food is so SALTY. I visited here twice. After dine-in, I have to chug water A LOT. I almost think they are doing that on purpose so ppl eat less of AYCE. For now, I will stick with Honey Pig.
I had a reservation and we were sat down at a table, our server introduced herself to us and got us menus and water. After that, she… forgot we existed? We literally waited 20-25 mins before realizing the only respectable thing to do was to get up and leave. We never even had a chance to order drinks. They were not busy and had plenty of staff. I’ve never had an experience like that. Were they purchased by private equity or something?
We've always enjoyed eating here. But this place looks like a dump. If it looks bad on the outside, I don't even want to know what the kitchen looks like. We came in about 5:00. We waited 10 minutes for a host to even come to the stand. And then it was another 10 minutes before somebody even came to the table. Countless tables with food on them but nobody's sitting at them.
Extremely understaffed and very long wait for everything. Love the franchise but not this location.
Service was awful - we got 3 orders and were there 2 1/2 hours. This is somewhere I come every month so was very disappointed. We also selected a birthday on our reservation and it wasn't even ment…
I usually try to be understanding when restaurants are busy, but unfortunately we had a very disappointing experience at Gyu-Kaku. During our visit, our server Almeda completely ignored our table for most of the time. We waited a long time just to get basic service, and eventually had to ask other servers for help with our food and requests. It felt like our table was simply forgotten. I do want to mention that the host was very nice and tried to help when we asked. I understand the restaurant was busy, and the host did what they could to assist us, which I appreciated. However, the service from our assigned server really affected the experience. Being ignored for most of the meal made the visit frustrating, and it shouldn’t be necessary for guests to chase down other staff just to get service. I hope management looks into this so future guests have a better experience.
