Japanese BBQ. This reminds me of the korean BBQ, only the flavors are different, but I still get just as excited.
Are there any Japanese BBQ buffets in New York like there are Korean BBQ buffets? If anyone out there has any knowledge about this, let me know!
Two of my friends and I went to Gyu-Kaku one day for an early birthday dinner. The thing I like about this place is that they offer happy hour bbq meats that change everyday. We went on a Monday so we got to try the marinated kalbi short rib for 50% off. I think drinks were also 50% off. They really marinate their meats well making each piece super mouth wateringly flavorful, but the portions are just too small!

main course: bibimbap: rice cooked in a stone pot mixed with assorted veggies and sometimes an egg with your choice of meat. I usually go for the bugolgi [beef]. It’s a Korean specialty, but they served it here.
dessert: aka most wonderful pancakes EVER
what’s Japanese about Gyu-Kaku, a pedestrian chain I know (of) from LA? Except maybe the name and ownership? Actually that dessert doesn’t look Korean.
You’re right. The dessert has nothing to do with Korean, I had meant that to refer to the rice bowl above that.
I was wondering myself what’s so Japanese-y about this restaurant. The only thing that stood out to me is that the barbeque meats seemed a little bit lighter than the Korean barbeque stuffs I’ve eaten.
