Appetizers, salads, premium meats, grilled appetizers, vegetables, soup, rice and dessert, it's an all-star cast for the ultimate eat-all-you-can Japanese BBQ feast...
Japan's popular BBQ restaurant, Gyu-Kaku, goes all-out with the Eat-All-You-Can offer for a limited time starting March 30, 2019 at Shangri-La East Wing, so come hungry. For only P 799 for adults and P 599 for children (kids under 3 feet eat for free), you can have all the Japanese BBQ you want and then some. Here's what you can expect...
With over 1,500 restaurants worldwide, Gyu-Kaku is well-loved for its hearty Japanese bbq since 1996. With its patented Smokeless Charcoal Grill Roaster on your table, you're all set and ready for the eat-all-you-can Japanese BBQ feast at Gyu-Kaku in Shangri-La East Wing without smelling like you just came out of the smokehouse...
There is a saying in Japan that "people who eat together from the same pot of rice develop stronger, more meaningful, and long-lasting relationships." Gyu-Kaku goes a step further with its tabletop smokeless charcoal grill roaster to bring friends and family together. Create your own customized Japanese BBQ feast from appetizers, homemade pickles, salad, soup, grilled appetizers, rice, vegetables and premium meats and you can keep on ordering to your heart's content within 90 minutes (strictly no sharing and a no leftover policy will be implemented). You'll soon find out that an hour and a half is more than enough, so let's begin...
Start with a refreshing salad, like the Wakame Salad with fresh greens and seaweed sprinkled with sesame seeds drizzled with Japanese citrus soy dressing...
...or go for the classic Caesar Salad. You can also opt for the Sanchu Lettuce Wrap that's perfect with your Japanese BBQ.
Choose some Homemade Pickles as a tasty side, like the mildly spicy Assorted Kimuchi with Chinese cabbage, white radish and celery to temper the savory richness of the grilled beef and chicken.
The Wakame Egg Soup (L) warms the palate before the Japanese BBQ feast, a light yet flavorful soup with egg and seaweed. You can also opt for the traditional Miso Soup. You can have Steamed Rice, or better yet, the sticky Yakionigiri Rice (R) with sesame seeds. Warm it up on the Smokeless Charcoal Grill Roaster for that layer of smoky hint.
The savory appetizers include the Beef Croquette (L) made with minced beef and mashed potatoes drizzled with okonomiyaki sauce or the Fried Gindara (R), lightly battered and delicately deep-fried cod fish with a light crispness almost like tempura. Other tasty appetizers include the crispy Chicken Karaage, French Fries... 
...and the Yasai Chijimi, a soft Korean style vegetable pancake topped with soft bonito flakes drizzled with okonomiyaki sauce and creamy mayonnaise.
Pair your Japanese BBQ with fresh vegetables for grilling alongside your selection of beef and chicken, like Pumpkin, Onion, Carrot, Capsicum and Shiitake Mushrooms. Personally, the Shiitake Mushrooms and Onions are excellent choices for the savory barbecued beef. For the Grilled Appetizers, diners can choose either the Garlic Foil or Miso Buttered Corn.
Gyu-Kaku's choice cuts are available in a variety of seasonings like Tare, Shio, Himalayan Rock Salt, Miso, Spicy Miso, and Miso/Shio with Leeks. Some of these are offered in Gyu-Kaku's Eat-All-You-Can Japanese BBQ. With the clock ticking, you should go ahead and order all four beef offerings at the Eat-All-You-Can promotion of Gyu-Kaku...
...starting with the Brisket Blend, tender seasoned and marinated beef ready for grilling with layers of fat for flavor...
...the Harami Shio, a well-marbled tender yet leaner cut seasoned with salt...
...the Beef Brisket Spicy Miso with just a whisper of heat in a nutty miso marinade...
...and the Harami Tare with its sweet tare sauce. The savory richness of Gyu-Kaku's selection range from sweet to spicy to lead your all-star cast for an eat-all-you-can Japanese BBQ feast.
If you're looking for a lighter yet equally flavorful option, the Chicken Teriyaki should do the trick.
It's not a complete Japanese BBQ feast without some good Japanese beer. Have a round or two of Sapporo Premium Beer (P 180). Grilling your own meat, after all, can be hard work.
As you fire up your own grill to begin your Japanese BBQ feast at Gyu-Kaku, remember it only takes just a few minutes on the fiery charcoal for that perfectly grilled beef.
The beef is transformed in mere minutes, coated with a lightly charred layer for subtle smoky hints. Add the Garlic Foil to the grill, and let it roast in butter to complement the bold beefy flavors.
The patented Smokeless Charcoal Grill Roaster does its job quite impressively, sucking all the smoke to the sides...
...leaving you smelling fresh without a trace of your up-close encounter with the grill.
And once you're done with your initial order, follow it up with another batch of premium beef. You have ninety minutes...
...and the servers remind you to place your final orders in the last twenty minutes of your Japanese BBQ feast at Gyu-Kaku. To make the most of your Japanese BBQ experience, knowing what to order makes a big difference and maximizes your allotted ninety minutes of savory indulgence. You'll soon find out that ninety minutes is more than enough.
Cap your Japanese BBQ feast with the playfully inventive Popcorn Ice Cream...
...and the Gyu-Kaku Ice Cream sprinkled with soya powder. Satisfied, that's a good hour and a half well spent at Gyu-Kaku in Shangri-La's East Wing. Ready for a sumptuous close encounter with the grill? Go Eat-All-You-Can at Gyu-Kaku...
