Gyukaku is famous for its all-you-can-eat option, but some branches also offer set meals for lunch. The Nakasu branch is one of them. Located along Meiji Avenue, right next to Nakasu Kawabata Station, it's close to the famous Fukuoka yakiniku restaurant "Rikkaen Meiji Avenue branch," but they cater to different customers so there's no competition. I visited at 12:10 for lunch. I checked the lunch set menu on the information board outside the restaurant and then entered. I informed the staff that I was dining alone, and they seated me at a U-shaped table. They explained everything, and I ordered through a touch panel. I had the "Standard 5-item lunch set (980 yen, tax not included)" that I saw on the information board. This kind of consideration is important, and it made me like the place even more. On weekdays, all lunches come with a soup and curry bar. Along with the cold water, you can also help yourself to soup and curry. The lunch set arrived quickly, and I started grilling the meat. The set included pork tongue, marbled kalbi, beef harami, pork kalbi, and pork loin, totaling about 200g. The gas burner was weak, even at its highest setting, so it took a while to cook the thick slices of meat. I ended up eating more curry while waiting. The curry was a keema type with minced meat, not as good as at a specialty store but still tasty. Before I knew it, the curry became the main dish, with a mini chorogi salad and soup as side dishes, and I was snacking on the grilled meat in between. You can get free refills of rice by ordering through the touch panel. The quality of the meat was nothing special, but considering the price, it was good value for money. The total bill was 1,078 yen including tax. The staff were friendly, and I had a pleasant meal. Thank you for the meal.

This is Gyu-Kaku located on the first floor of Chushu Gatesville. The restaurant reopened as an all-you-can-eat restaurant in October 2022. Since my company is nearby, I decided to have lunch here on this day. The restaurant mainly has table seating and the layout hasn't changed much from before. The highlight of the restaurant is the all-you-can-eat option, but since it was a weekday lunch, I opted for the value 5-kind lunch set. I placed my order using the touch panel, and after a short wait, the 5-kind lunch set for 1,078 yen arrived. The set came with a mini chorogi salad topped with chopped Korean seaweed. The grilled meats included beef tongue, pork kalbi, toro kalbi, beef loin, and beef harami. The meats are grilled on the smokeless roaster at the table. Next time, I might challenge the all-you-can-eat option with beer in the evening. The restaurant is located on Meiji Street, on the first floor of Chushu Gatesville.

Lunch special on July 25, 2023: Set meal with 200g of food for 1,408 yen.

I visited during my lunch break. I had the lunch set. The food came out very quickly, so even with a short break, I felt at ease going there. The 1000 yen set meal had a good portion size, and you can get unlimited rice, soup, and curry, so you will definitely be full.

It's a chain restaurant so the food was reliably delicious, but when we arrived, the table was sticky. When I wiped it with a napkin, it was covered in oil and our drinks took a while to arrive. When they did, beer was spilled without an apology. Maybe we just came at a bad time, but it was a bit off-putting. The food, however, was very tasty!
