It was nice that they had an elevator that goes right into the restaurant, in case you can't use the stairs (they are on the second floor). Quality of meat was pretty good especially at AYCE lunch at 18.95(?) I do suggest having a menu so then people can choose their selection of meats, as some just prefer certain cuts to others. We didn't know they had a small pasta selections but we did see other tables have it and asked them about it (loved the garlic pasta). The banchan was a good selection(4) and was tasty. It also came with fried gyoza and salad then at the end of the meal there is shaved ice, which was a nice ending.

Stopped in to try lunch before heading to Bishop for an event. Great quality pork and beef, and the kimchee and banchan were tasty! The service was excellent - everyone was so attentive. Great deal for AYCE with a shave ice at the end! The restaurant is on the 2nd level above Rainbow and has a nice view of the valley.

Went with my family to what I thought was Gyukaku. NOPE. Not anymore. This spot just opened up. Still a yakiniku, cook your own food style eating spot. Started us off with a simple salad, 4 types of kimchi, 2 types of dipping sauces for the meats, & coca-cola soft drinks. Our appetizer was the garlic noodles, simple but tasty. They dont have menus yet so they give you all their pork options and all their beef options. You are free to order more of the ones you like best. All options were good but we stuck with the beef ribeye. For dessert the meal comes with shave ice. They have a 90min time limit but that was more than enough for us. We came in for an early dinner, around 3ish and by 4pm the place filled up quick. Parking a limited, approx 7-8 stalls. There is an elevator from downstairs but we didnt use it. Staff was kind, helpful, and very attentive. The bill for 3 people wasnt that bad either, we walked out super full so it was worth it. Will be going back. Suggest you check it out.

As of 11/18 it's BOYB and no menu just all you can eat. Great value and friendly staff. The meat is unseasoned except for teriyaki and spicy pork. The sides are delicious. Parking can be tough...
