Gyu-Kaku Japanese Barbecue Restaurant: Yakiniku Dinner (Shangrila East Wing)

Gyu-Kaku Japanese Barbecue Restaurant is a Japanese Yakiniku concept that began in the Japan in 1996 and has now over 650 stores world wide.

The interiors were really nice and inviting.

After ordering, they prepared the charcoal grill.

Food

Salad

♥ Tofu and Avocado Salad (395 php)

The Tofu and Avocado Salad is one of the best Japanese-inspired salad we've tried.  The avocado cubes and creamy sesame dressing is wonderful.

Horenso Salad (285 php)

The Horenso Salad is good because we loved the crunchy garlic flakes.

Sweet Sauce and Salt and Spicy Sauce

Of course, the highlight of our dinner is the Yakiniku.  They have two dipping sauces for the Yakiniku.

Vegetables

♥ Shitake Mushroom (225 php)

Selected Beef by Gyu-Kaku

♥ Harami (USA) Tare L (395 php)

For the Harami, we could choose between 4 blends: Tare, Shio, Miso and Spicy.  We opted for the Tare which delivered a sweet and salty flavor.  It is a soy marinade with ginger, miso, fruit juice garlic and sesame oil.

♥ Harami (USA) Miso L (395 php)

Since the serving portion is small, we also ordered another Harami in Miso.  It was a red sweetened miso and soy bean paste.

Chicken

Chicken Thigh Fillet Tare L (175 php)

Chicken Thigh Fillet Shio L (175 php)

We also had the Chicken Thigh Fillet in Tare and Shio.  I guess we loved the Tare because we liked it even with chicken meat.  The Shio is a slightly sweetened white soy sauce with salted sake, garlic and ginger.  I think it's good if the meat is special.

Seafood

♥ Norweigan Salmon Foil (295 php)

The best among our order is the Norweigan Salmon Foil.  We ordered 2 of these! 

Noodles

♥ Ishiyaki Udon (Chicken) (295 php)

The Ishiyaki Udon (Chicken) is delicious.  It was exploding with tasty goodness and the texture of the noodles is chewy.


Desserts

♥ Milk Pudding (145 php)

For dessert, we had the Milk Pudding.  It is an interesting creamy dessert.  We love it!

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Our Gyu-Kaku Yakiniku experience is good.  The quality of the meats and other ingredients is superb.  We also liked their sauce blends.  The only drawback is the price and small serving portions.
