Gaku Restaurant

Amazing food with even better service! There are limited specials every month ranging from uni hot pot to sashimi imported FRESH from Japan! There’s an extensive sake and shochu menu and servers recommend drinks based off your personal taste which is great. Chicken skin, beef tongue, knee cartilage are top sellers so run out quickly! Chicken thigh is the must order though. Tip 1: All skewers are cooked MEDIUM well, so if you don’t like your chicken liver red and juicy inside (normal), order well done! Tip 2: order a little at a time because food cannot be reheated for health reasons. Tip 3: if you’re not sure about anything, ask! The servers are all very accommodating and understanding. There’s also a good reason behind everything too. Tip 4: keep your table organized and use the bamboo cup on your table for empty skewers! This is a tapas like restaurant so everything comes on small plates and there are some BIG plate dishes! Tip 5: MAKE A RESERVATION. Especially on weekends!! Unless y

We ordered different types of skewers, beef tongue, kalbi, chickens, scallops and mushrooms. They were all grilled in different combinations of sauces, which make them have distinctive tastes and great. Meats tasted tender and not overcooked. 2. Uni grilled rice ball was ok, it was a bit hard to eat together with uni separated from the rice ball. 3. the bacon steak, we liked how the red onion taste didn’t override the taste of the bacon. The little touch of the red onion makes the bacon steak doesn’t taste greasy. 4. The highlight of the night was definitely Asari clam soup! The clam soup had a lot of layers. The seaweed and clams are the base. With lemon adding a touch of citrus feel, it brought the soup to another level. That made the soup taste fresh and flavorful. Really great for winter. - - - Indoor Maybe it’s because of COVID, indoor environment did
