Japanese BBQ Restaurant Gyu-Kaku

Located in Plaza Indonesia 1st floor, Japanese BBQ Restaurant Gyu-Kaku is considered as one of the best Japanese Grill Restaurant. Gyu-Kaku Restaurant has another branch in Jakarta, which located in Pacific Place. Yesterday we just tried their branch in Plaza Indonesia.

Bundaran HI

The ambiance is really cozy and has romantic atmosphere with a great view of Bundaran HI (especially at nite). They arranged single table inside the chamber with drape and dreary lamp. The grill is placed inside the top of table and each chamber only can be seated 4-6 person.

Surely, their main menu is BBQ, but they served not only assorted usual BBQ meat (sausage, chicken, beef, lamb, fish), you can find the U.S. Kobe Beef here, which I believed it is the high quality and imported one and of course it’s pricy. In BBQ menu they also have vegetables and mushroom to grilled. The menu was all in Japanese and had plenty food choices; appetizers, salads, soups, noodles, and bimbimbab, desserts, etc.

Tantan Ramen

Since we are not meat lover and E still has sore throat, so we choose noodle selection menus. I always told E to try their Tantan Ramen (63K), so I ordered it. It is extra hot spicy ramen served with stone bowl, which serve up the ramen always warm. The ramen is good, soup base is thick, flavorful, and spicy hot. We like the soup taste very much, it’s so hot, so warming, so pleasing.

Karubi Udon

E ordered Karubi Udon (63K), it came with smaller ceramic bowl, but the portion is enough. The udon is so chewy, and the soup is less spicy than tantan soup. The udon is topped with egg, sliced beef, Japanese typed mushroom and vegetables.

Hot Ocha

Lastly, we just ordered hot ocha which is free of charge.

Japanese BBQ Restaurant Gyu-Kaku can be considered quite expensive restaurant, but it well equipped with the worth foods. All in all, it was a very enjoyable dinner with good food.
