A new tapas bar and Japanese spot, offering barbecue and more, has opened up shop in the neighborhood. The newcomer to Willowbrook, called Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ, is located at 7748 Cypress Creek Parkway.

Gyu-Kaku features authentic Japanese fare from both an a la carte and a course menu — the course menu provides meals meant to shared between two and six patrons each. A drink menu offers Japanese beer, sake, shochu and a variety of cocktails, wines and non-alcoholic beverages. Desserts include a combination of Japanese specialties and traditional American classics. 

The new tapas bar has received an enthusiastic response thus far, with a 4.5-star rating out of three reviews on Yelp.

Kai T., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on March 25, wrote, "I finally get to review this location of Gyu-Kaku. As a regular who always visits the Katy location, I am happy that there's a Gyu-Kaku near where I live. The interior, the atmosphere and the way the restaurant presents itself is by far top notch."

Yelper John T. added, “Outstanding place, as are the other three in Houston. Just closer to home. It was a soft opening on Wednesday, so they are working through new staff, but the food and experience was spot on.”

Swing on by to take a peek for yourself: Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ is open from 5–10:30 p.m. daily.
