Gyu-Kaku (The Star Vista)

We recently tried Gyu-Kaku’s new buffet menu, currently available at a promotional price of $48.80 until November 14. For a popular BBQ spot like this, the price offers good variety and is quite a value compared to their usual menu options.

Some highlights were the two flavors of Gyutan (beef tongue), Karubi, and Rosu – excellent picks for those who enjoy a wide selection. As a regular at Gyu-Kaku, having tried all their menus, I did notice a difference in quality with the new buffet menu. The meat texture was a bit chewier than usual, and the flavor didn’t have the same rich, beefy depth as before.

Still, it’s worth a try for the price, especially for anyone looking to enjoy a BBQ meal without overspending. A good choice for variety and value.

Came here to celebrate my father’s birthday and omg was honestly blown away by the quality of the beef.

Our favourites were the Japanese Wagyu Premium Loin Long Cut and Karubi. Felt that these 2 were the least tough and the juiciest. Some parts had a lot of tendon and really hard to chew despite the A4 grading. The charcoal was extremely hot and placed under the oily Japanese Wagyu, the fire was pretty scary! One small complain that I have would be that some pieces of beef that came were not as well marbled as the rest, but the majority were amazing.

I also really liked the sides, especially the Nama-Su (for the sour crunch), Shio Cucumber (refreshing crunch) and assorted Namuru. The Ponzu sauce and Garlic Chilli Oil dip was delicious as well, but my favourite would be the Chilli Paste that came with the Vegetable Wrap Set!

Overall, would definitely come back for celebrations as it was a bit too sinful to feast like this regularly. The service was very prompt as well. Paid $310 for 3pax for the Japanese Wagyu Buffet + free flow green tea and would say it was worth it although pricey! Definitely give it a try if you are a beef lover ❤️

Tried the japanese wagyu buffet, don’t think it’s worth the extra 20 bucks compared to normal beef. Alot of hard to chew tendon parts in the wagyu cuts

At first it was quite nice. The sauce was sweet instead of normal shoyu sauce. However, after a while it became quite jelat. The dish felt so thick and heavy because of the sweet sauce mixed with onsen egg. Furthermore, the wagyu beef has some fat layers, resulted in ‘super oily’ feeling.

Based on the price point, it was not a bad deal; yet not what somethint I would go back for.

This was so good especially bbq-ing over charcoal makes a lot of difference as the heat is more even. The marbling on the beef were so evident and every bite made me want more and more. The beef were really good on its own without the sauce. Please order their garlic fried rice too! The rice was fragrant and the garlic really brought out so much complexity to the fried rice. Would definitely love to come back.

My boyfriend and I will come here every year since he brought me here once! I always crave and would go for their buffet, there’s three price range so I tried the second tier this time and the damage for 2 person is $155.10 and it’s worth it, I’ll definitely come back for more! Even though it’s only 90 minutes but it’s definitely more than enough. Every piece of meat melts in the mouth! You can just try the basic tier because the selection is the same, just 2 more extra choice of meat to select from only. So the next time I’ll just go with the basic!
