Time to fire up that table-top grill...


Start with the refreshing Kani Salad topped with crabstick strips and creamy silky smooth dressing to open up the palate. Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ also offers the Horenso Salad (P 285) with garden fresh spinach topped with crispy garlic and slathered in nutty sesame dressing, the Wakame Salad (P 254) with seaweed and mixed greens, the classic Caesar Salad (P 245) and Sanchu Lettuce Wrap (P 195) with Ssamjang paste and mayo perfectly pairing with your grilled meats and a great alternative to steamed white rice. 


A comforting bowl of Miso Soup (P 155) is another excellent starter option at Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ. Other soup choices include the Ishinabe Tofu Chige Soup (P 425) with tofu, pork and mildly spicy kimuchi and the Wakame Egg Soup (P 195). 


Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ also offers a full line-up of savory starters in its menu like the Steamed Gyoza (P 215) with its ground pork and vegetable filling. Who doesn't love gyoza, right? 


The soft dumpling contrasts with the lightly crisp bottom for that delectable play on textures and flavors with each bite. You can also opt for the Fried Gyoza (P 245) topped with okonomiyaki sauce and creamy mayo. 


The Tofu Steak (P 260) with soft silky tofu draped in crisp breading with vegetables and Japanese steak sauce is another tasty starter at Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ. The sweet and savory notes from the sauce and vegetables complements the nutty hints of the tofu that will surely have you going for another bite.

And there's more. Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ also offers a variety of Yakitori like Negima (P 130), Butabara (P 130), Pork & Scallions (P 130), Miso Butter Corn (P 95), Enoki Maki (P 130), Asupra Bacon Maki (P 130), Pork Japanese Meatballs (P 130) and Chicken Japanese Meatballs (P 130).

The tempting array of starters are a tasty prelude to the savory main courses of Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ's grilled offerings. The Buta Karubi (P 265) with slabs of pork belly in Shio or salt is the opening salvo in a lavish yakiniku feast. You can also go for other marinade options from the sweet Tare, Miso or Spicy Miso


Next, a trio of meats were then served with marinated and seasoned Chicken Thigh Fillet (P 195) in Shio, Tare, Miso, Spicy Miso, Teriyaki, Garlic and Basil. Then, the Harami (P 395) or skirt steak from the US along with the Wagyu Rosu (P 1,099) round out the first batch of for the grill. 


From the savory selection of premium meats to the different marinades and seasoning options, Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ makes it easy for you to customize your yakiniku feast. Ready to grill? 


The juicy fillets of Chicken Thighs take the longest to grill followed by the Buta Karubi or pork belly. The Harami needs a few minutes while the Wagyu Rosu takes mere seconds to be romanced by the flames, so keep a close eye on the premium slabs of beef on the grill. It's easy to overcook the premium beef resulting in tough, chewy bites. Once you flip the premium beef for even cooking, you can count down to a flavorful bite fresh off the grill. 


The fillet of Chicken Thighs with its longer cooking time gives it a nice and delicate layer of charred finish adding to its flavor while the the extra time on the grill gives a delectable crispness to the Buta Karubi. The deep and bold flavors of the Harami are released with each bite while the premium Wagyu Rosu after just a few seconds on the grill drapes the palate with its buttery richness. Pair your meats with steamed white rice or better yet, the Sanchu Lettuce Wrap

In addition to the Wagyu Rosu, Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ also offers the Wagyu Tenderloin (P 3,250), the Wagyu Tongue (P 750) and Wagyu Ribeye (P 3,299). If you want to try something different for a change of pace, the Duck Breast (P 645) is an equally rich option for the grill. And don't pass up on their succulent seafood selections too. 


One more round? Absolutely. Don't forget to ask about their Eat-All-You-Can promotion for only P 1,088 for adults and P 598 for children (conditions apply, see fine print for details). 


From appetizers, soups, salads and even yakitori and katsu all the way to dessert plus eight meat options for the grill, the Eat-All-You-Can promotion has to be one of the best deals in the metro. 


The Harami and Wagyu Rosu are definitely high up on my list for the perfect yakiniku feast at Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ. And if yakiniku is your game, you can't go wrong with Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ at its newest location in GH Mall


After a few more rounds, you've mastered the art of the grill delicately balancing both time and temperature and deservedly rewarded by a perfect bite at Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ
