I went to Gyu-Kaku Umeda Hankyu Higashi-dori store. I chose to order a la carte instead of all-you-can-eat or all-you-can-drink. It was not crowded around 9 p.m., even though it was busy during peak hours. We spent about 6,700 yen for two people after having a few drinks. Considering the price, it was worth it and I have no complaints, as expected from a major chain.

Today, I also went to an all-you-can-eat yakiniku restaurant. I put lots of grated garlic in the sauce and added plenty of shichimi pepper, and I'm hooked on dipping and eating it. They also have gochujang, but if you put too much in for spiciness, it becomes too sweet, so I recommend getting shichimi pepper. I ate a lot, so there's plenty of garlic, and I'm worried about my morning breath haha.

I added all-you-can-drink to my a la carte order, and considering the price including rice, I thought it was a good deal. It was my first time trying duck loin yakiniku, and I enjoyed the balance between the sweet fatty part and the rich lean part. The bonjiri was also delicious.

The beer and highball, plus about 30 other items, are half price in this campaign, which I must say is cheap. In conclusion, it's definitely cheap, but the meat itself is not great - the color is off, it's dry, and tough, probably because it's discounted meat. The hormone and sausages were tasty though. The grilling is done on a gas stove covered to look like charcoal, which is a bit disappointing. The staff seemed a bit cold, maybe because I was dining alone. I had trouble finding chopsticks and other utensils, but it turned out the staff had forgotten to set them out. The system for ordering via tablet wasn't explained to me, so when I called a staff member to take my order, I was scolded for not using the tablet. Overall, the cheap beer (under 300 yen) and the fact that I could eat my fill of barbecue for less than 4000 yen made it a good deal. However, this place is not ideal for solo dining, so I probably won't be coming back.

After a long time, I went to an all-you-can-eat yakiniku restaurant. There were three courses available, and this time I chose the Gyukaku course where you can enjoy 100 different kinds of meat. The variety was great and the meat was fresh and delicious! Especially, the kalbi bowl was amazing! You put kalbi on top of rice, sprinkle with chopped seaweed, and pour sauce over it. This was exquisite! Every time I go there, it's a happy time! Thank you!笑

Having a dinner with my subordinates in Umeda. This time, I left some of the arrangements up to others. Through LINE communication, I found out that the venue was this restaurant. Visiting Gyu-Kaku after many years! The fact that I kept hearing the name of this restaurant during the long interval is a sign of its long-standing prosperity!? In a way, it added to the excitement and anticipation as we headed to the bustling entertainment district of Umeda, "Higashi Street," on the day of the dinner. Thanks to the reservation made for us, we were able to smoothly enter the restaurant (great job on the arrangements). Each person made individual orders for their favorite meats since it was a la carte reservation. The toast for the barbecue was, of course, with beer. I toasted with a dry beer that I like!! Delicious. Now, the grilled meat and dishes we had included "Marbled Beef Tongue" with gold powder on top. Looks great, but the tongue itself had a slight odor. Disappointing. "Upper Harami" was priced reasonably for a chain barbecue restaurant. Not bad, but not exceptional either. "Kalbi Assortment" had four types of kalbi. Steak, middle rib, "Upper Gyu-Kaku Kalbi," and "New Gyu-Kaku Kalbi." The cuts offered different textures and mouthfeel, but the difference in kalbi flavor was not significant. (Later, I found out that the volume and juiciness were improved.) Lastly, "Popping Boba." I even took a picture of it before eating, but I forgot to actually eat it. I love the popping sensation and the juice spreading in my mouth. It's a shame. It was delightful to see everyone enjoying their favorite meats so deliciously and joyfully. Barbecue feels like a rewarding dish, so it's perfect for occasions like this. The restaurant, which I visited for the first time in many years, might have become more popular due to such occasions. The place was packed with students, salarymen, and office ladies. It was truly a bustling restaurant, Gyu-Kaku.

Located a 5-7 minute walk from Higashi Umeda Station is the popular yakiniku restaurant Gyukaku Umeda Hankyu Higashi-dori Store. This chain restaurant offers all-you-can-eat yakiniku at a reasonable price, making it a favorite among many. They are open until early morning, making it a great spot for those late-night yakiniku cravings. With a spacious seating area of 130 seats, it is also perfect for large group gatherings. During my visit, I ordered the popular Gyukaku course, which offers over 100 items to choose from for 90 minutes of all-you-can-eat enjoyment. The quality of the meats, such as the King Harami with miso garlic, Kalbi steak, and thick-sliced duck breast with black pepper sauce, was outstanding and exceeded my expectations for an all-you-can-eat menu. If you are looking to eat a lot, this is the perfect place for you. Be sure to check it out! Thank you for the delicious meal! ※Instagram Gourmet Account https://www.instagram.com/shunsuke.naka/ (Over 10,000 followers!) ※Gourmet Blog https://www.hitobashiratoushi.com/

I came here to enjoy and eat to my heart's content, as they offer all-you-can-eat options. I ordered a course that cost around 3500 yen. The meat, especially the hormone, was delicious, but my favorite was the honey butter. Some of the staff members were very friendly, but there were also some who had a bad attitude. Overall, I felt like this place was a chain restaurant offering all-you-can-eat options. Thank you for the meal! ᐡ-ﻌ-ᐡ

I visited for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by the affordable prices and delicious meat. I wish they had a greater variety of drinks. I would like to come back again. Thank you for the meal!

The interior of the restaurant is quite spacious. I have been to several yakiniku restaurants in Osaka, but this one offers great value for money. The yakiniku rice comes with Korean seaweed and yakiniku sauce, which is very appetizing. I recommend it if you want to eat heartily.

I felt like Namba had more variety of dishes... Maybe it's just my imagination...

I watched a movie at Osaka Station City and it was a late show, so I ended up missing the timing for dinner. I wanted to eat yakiniku, so I went to Gyu-Kaku since it was empty late at night. We were the only guests besides us. I didn't have high expectations, and the service from the staff was a bit off, just as I expected. You could see cleaning supplies and towels from our seats! I wish they would hide them. The toilet also could have been cleaner. Even though there were hardly any customers, the state of it was proof that it wasn't being maintained properly. But as long as the food is good, it's fine! This time we didn't go for the all-you-can-eat option, we ordered individual items. We ordered beef tongue, salted beef intestines, grated daikon with ponzu sauce, marinated harami, and rice. Hmm. I still prefer the all-you-can-eat meat...especially the harami looked a bit sketchy with its dark color. I asked the staff if it was okay, and they said, "It's fine because it's sent frozen." It's not about the delivery method though...it was a bit scary, so I didn't touch it and decided to leave. Of course, I passed on any additional orders this time. If you want to eat fresh meat, a restaurant that delivers in a vacuum-sealed state is the best. The only saving grace was that the dessert, Pudding with Vanilla, was delicious. I probably won't come back again.

I visited this restaurant on a Thursday night! It is located inside an arcade! I arrived around 6 pm without a reservation, but the seats quickly filled up and by 7 pm it was nearly full. Despite having quite a few seats, it was very popular. However, popularity does not always mean delicious! In conclusion, the quality of the meat does not justify the price. The meat had a lot of fat and gristle, which required a lot of cleaning. The impression was that the cleaning process was not done properly. There was a pricey kalbi dish with a lot of gristle left on it, which was disappointing. There was also a dish with butter on top of the kalbi to mask the taste, which was unnecessary. The bibimbap was priced at 790 yen, but it was mostly namul and lacked flavor. In the end, my friend and I ended up spending a little over 9000 yen on beer, soju, and meat. For that price, we could have eaten much tastier meat elsewhere. The crowd was mostly young people, so perhaps it's all about the name value?

For dinner, I requested "meat" and we went to "Gyukaku Umeda Hankyu Higashi-doori" where we arrived just before 5 PM and were able to get a table without waiting. We had some beer, specifically Premium Malt's, along with salted tongue, kalbi, harami, and hormone. We also added pork to our meal because pork goes well with lettuce. To finish off, we had half-sized Ume Shiso Cold Noodles for 450 yen, which had real pickled plums in it. It was refreshing. My friend ordered the half-sized Stone Pot Sesame Onion Salt Ramen, which looked delicious. It's great that they offer half-sized portions, very considerate for us ladies.

When it comes to all-you-can-eat beef restaurants like Gyu-Kaku, I usually don't go, but this time I visited with a group and enjoyed 70 types of meat and other foods, plus premium malts and all-you-can-drink for just under 5,000 yen per person. I have also been to a yakiniku all-you-can-eat restaurant in Kita-Shinchi, and personally, I found this restaurant to be better. I mainly ate meat, but finished with shoe ice cream and edamame, while my acquaintance tried curry. I don't eat much yakiniku, so my evaluation may not be very helpful, but there were enough seats available, so we were able to fully enjoy our meal.

I heard that Gyu-Kaku opened on Higashi Street in Umeda, so I went there clutching a coupon. It was my first time going to Gyu-Kaku (=^・^=) The result can be summed up in one word: "disappointing" ... When I entered, there was a nice hallway, and as I walked through it, I could see the inside of the restaurant. I waited for a staff member, but from what I could see, there were empty seats and it didn't seem too crowded. However, no staff member came to us ... (+_+) Finally, when our eyes met with a staff member, I called out to them. The staff member finally came over and said, "Can you wait a moment," and made us sit in the waiting area (>_<) Also, our waiting area was near the entrance door, so every time a customer entered, a cold breeze would freeze us ... We waited and waited, but we were not shown to a table, so we asked when we would be seated ... And guess what! It seemed like they had completely forgotten that we were waiting (T_T) There were two more groups waiting after us, but it seemed like they forgot about them too (゜o゜) We discussed whether we should leave without eating, but since we had come all the way, we decided to stay for the food and service inside the restaurant (^O^) However, the service inside was still bad (+o+) They didn't come to take our order ... The food we ordered didn't come out ... They mentioned additional charges afterwards ... I thought they could consider the customers a little more ... I apologize for going on and on with this review (*_*) I won't be going back, but I hope they will try a little harder for the sake of those who will go in the future.

I finished work a little early and decided to go out for dinner with my junior colleague. We walked through the East Street shopping district, which we don't usually visit, and saw a sign that said, "All-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink for 3000 yen if you enter by 18:00." Despite the limited meat options for the 3000 yen course, there were still plenty of choices to enjoy. I didn't take photos of the menu, so I don't remember much, but I believe there were over 30 different dishes, including various cuts of beef, pork tongue, pork belly, different types of offal, grilled vegetables like garlic, kimchi, side dishes, soup, rice, and dessert. The drink selection was also decent. While the quality of the meat may not be top-notch, it's a good value for filling up your stomach. However, it does make you crave for better quality meat.

Gyukaku is a popular chain restaurant known for its cost-effective and casual yakiniku experience. The staff are friendly and it's easy to strike up a conversation with them. The place is often staffed with students working part-time. You can enjoy tongue, sirloin, and hormone grilled over charcoal. It's a fun and lively atmosphere, perfect for enjoying yakiniku with friends. I highly recommend Gyukaku for a gathering with friends.

This is Gyu-Kaku. It's my favorite yakiniku restaurant haha. I heard that these kinds of places don't get many visitors because they get high ratings lol. I feel like there used to be more branches in the past, but maybe it's not that popular after all. The meat at Gyu-Kaku has a lot of lean cuts that go really well with the sauce. It's light and you can eat as much as you want. What I like the most is the affordable prices haha. This time, I used it for a company drinking party, but actually, my family and I go there occasionally too. It's a different branch though lol.
