Enjoy grilling meats over burning charcoal, but not a fan of doing the whole set-up yourself? Head to Gyu-Kaku -- a family-friendly Japanese yakiniku chain that’s all about the BBQ experience, with good meats and vegetables to match.

Prime Japanese wagyu is the star on the menu here, alongside other premium cuts of meats and an assortment of appetisers and crunchy salads. Start the meal with a light, refreshing dish of Cold Tofu with Banbanji sauce, a spicy sesame dressing that adds a hint of heat to the chilled beancurd. For meats, the Japanese Wagyu Chuck Karubi is a popular cut, particularly well-marbled and served in slices for simple grilling and enjoyment. There’s also the Japanese Wagyu Premium Loin Steak if you prefer grilling an entire slab of meat on your own, and getting it to the right doneness.

Enjoy your meats bursting with bold flavour? Try the selection of Harami here, where slices of beef are pre-marinated in garlic, shio, or spicy miso for an extra punch.

Besides beef, Gyu-Kaku also offers a good selection of Kurobuta pork, from the belly cuts to the collar, and the jowl. There’s also a wide variety of seafood, with favourites like the butter scallops and jumbo prawns. (Apr 2019)
