Gyukaku premium Japanese BBQ dinner set @ Ueno, Tokyo

Gyukaku is a famous chain restaurant serving quality yakiniku in Japan. They have many restaurants worldwide which includes presence in USA, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Jakarta and Malaysia. In Japan, you can find Gyukaku at just around the corner of district. I had the barbecue dinner in Gyukaku outlet in Ueno, Tokyo.

Taste:8/10(Good. The beef were marinated for you and you have to grill it yourself to your liking. Good variety of beef provided and the beef were adequately marinated. However some of the parts were a bit rubbery after grill. I expect the meat to have more flavour on it. The meat were fresh and taste wise is good).
Price:5/10(Near expensive. I ordered their premium beef set which consist of platter of beef slices (brisket, round primal cuts and tenderloins), beef tongue, beef intestine/hormone, vegetarian noodles, green tea, tofu as dessert, rice, vegetables with kimchi appetizer and salad. All these priced at 3,218 Yen include tax).


Grilling beef tongue.


Good barbecue system. Gyukaku uses special smokeless BBQ roaster which can suction off most of the smoke in their down draft system. The best thing eating here is that you won't smell like walking BBQ stove as soon you finished your lunch or dinner.


Vegetables, bean sprouts and kimchi as appetizer.

Beef tongue. Its delicious.
