Chinese restaurants in the United States range from steam-table lunch counters to white-tablecloth Cantonese seafood halls, and most fall somewhere in between: a laminated menu, a lunch special board, and combo plates priced a few dollars below the dinner menu. Ordering by number off the menu is normal and speeds things up, especially at takeout counters. Family-style ordering, where a table shares several dishes with rice rather than each person getting an individual entree, is standard at sit-down spots and usually cheaper per person. Many neighborhood restaurants are cash-preferred or charge a small card fee, so it is worth asking or checking the door before you order. Delivery apps cover most areas, but calling the restaurant directly is often faster and avoids the markup.

The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. The most common schedule is 11:30 am–10:30 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (626) 405-4842. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, gyu-kaku.com.

Pasadena is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Pasadena follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Absolutely unbelievable experience. The window in the restaurant is literally broken and the sunlight blasting through it is so insanely bright that you can barely sit comfortably at the table. The server told us it’s been this way for TWO YEARS and that multiple employees and customers have complained to corporate, but corporate simply doesn’t care enough to fix it. That pretty much tells you everything you need to know about this place. Corporate America at its finest: take people’s money, serve mediocre food, ignore basic maintenance, and do the bare minimum possible. If ownership can’t even bother fixing a giant broken window after two years, imagine how much attention they pay to the rest of the operation. Embarrassing. Forgot to tell you about the nasty dust all over our table!! Checkout the photo.

This review is based on all four of my visits to Gyu-Kaku. This isn’t just a restaurant you take anyone to—it’s a place you bring people who are special to you. It has become one of my absolute favorite places to dine, and I’ve celebrated several special occasions here. I keep coming back because the experience is consistently outstanding. Not only is the food delicious, but the staff is incredible. Every team member goes out of their way to make you feel welcomed and appreciated, which makes each visit memorable. If you’re dining here, I highly recommend adding the garlic noodles with chicken to your meal. They’ve become our go-to side dish and never disappoint. Thank you, Gyu-Kaku, for the amazing food and hospitality. I’ll definitely be back again soon!

2/27/26 So visiting with my mom and dad, they like this place so we came here for dinner and we were sat immediately. Servers were great, I say that because our first one went on break and then the second one had a break so we had Scott who was awesome. I didn’t remember the names of the other ones 😆 sorry. We ordered the Yakiniku Party which is for 4 people(See Photo). The meat and sides just kept coming but we were all hungry and it ended up being just right. Service was great. Food and Portions were good . Ambiance was very chill with music playing but not loud . All in all Me and My son and parents had a good time and food was good . Enjoy !!!!

Terrible service and a very disappointing experience overall. We spent nearly two hours here and received minimal food and attention the entire time. In that span, we only got three rounds of meat and two water refills, which is unacceptable for an AYCE-style BBQ experience. The rice we were served was undercooked. When we informed the staff, they didn’t take the rice back until we specifically asked them to. Even after that, it took about 15 minutes for replacement rice to arrive. Our waiter told us he would check on us every 5–10 minutes, but in reality, we saw him around three times total during the entire two-hour visit. We also only received three grill changes in that time, despite cooking continuously. The lack of urgency, follow-up, and basic service made the experience frustrating. Unfortunately, this visit completely missed the mark, and we won’t be returning.

We came on a Sunday and there was no wait. We chose the basic all you can eat which comes with a ton of options. 90 minutes limit, at beginning we didn't order too much because we were scared if we can't finish. Big mistake, apparently the meat quality was very high but very small portion. It was also takes time for the waitress to come back to order more. So we basically wasted a lot of time just staring at the empty grill. Food was great though, nice dessert and the marshmallows. Parking was also easy because it is by a parking garage. I would recommend ordering as much as you can and also early before you ran out of food.
