Groupon Deal – $40 for $20 Gyu-Kaku Pasadena

I like to think of it as the Asian inspired Melting Pot. If you like interactive dining, then this Groupon is perfect for you! On a side note, this place has a killer Happy Hour, but you’ll have to check it out on your second visit, because like other Groupons, you can’t use the voucher for Happy Hour.

From the bustling streets of Times Square to the equally vivacious streets of Hong Kong, people walk around with smiles after enjoying the japanese barbecue cuisine at Gyu-Kaku. The restaurant has more than 700 locations worldwide, each rooted in the belief that some of the strongest bonds between friends are forged at the dinner table. Groups dine on a huge variety of Japanese dishes, from kalbi kuppa—spicy beef broth with rice, short ribs, and veggies—to spicy-tuna maki rolls. The real excitement takes place around individual grills, however, where diners can barbecue their own slabs of filet mignon, ahi tuna, or chicken with chili mayo until they are ideally tender or encircled by on-duty firemen.
