Gyu-Kaku is a popular Japanese yakiniku (grilled meat) restaurant chain that originated in Tokyo in 1996. The name translates to “Horn of the Bull,” reflecting its focus on high-quality beef and tabletop grilling, where diners cook their own meat. It has since expanded internationally, bringing a social, interactive dining experience inspired by Japanese barbecue culture to many countries.
