The last time I patronized Gyu Kaku had been a good 4 years ago and thanks to another restaurant turning us away, I paid it a visit.

Meat Smith BBQ Platter ($130) Serves 2-3 but it was definitely enough for 5 of us - small eaters included. The pickled vegetables definitely whet our appetites - the jalepenos and ladies fingers wer...
