Gyu Kaku and Friends

So my good friend, Seth aka Grym who runs Onset, a weekly DnB night in Seattle, Washington, has been in town this week. He came out last minute with a (girl)friend of his to use up some free tickets and we had him come through Broken Liquid. He played a really amazing dubstep & dnb set in the front room that was beautifully dark and trancey. He's a great dj, hands down, and he brought it like he always does. Got to see him and Liza briefly at the beach Sunday and then last night for dinner.

We took them to Gyu Kaku, as we tend to do with folks who are in town. I think this was Seth's 3rd time eating there and he was specific that that's where we needed to go. If you've never been there, then you must not go out to eat with us much and/or you haven't come to visit us in Hawaii.

Gyu Kaku is definitely one of my all-time favorite restaurants. It's a Japanese chain that I first went to years ago in Japan. It is Korean Yakiniku style, meaning that there is a little grill in the center of your table where you get to cook your own food, but with Japanese-style food. At first it can seem a little gimmicky...Japanese seem to love themed restaurants I have noticed...but once you eat the first bite of food, you realize there's no gimmick to it, it is just amazing food, plain and simple.

It's great to take guests to because it makes for a very entertaining meal and we can almost guarantee the everyone will get something they like, a lot. Almost every DJ we have ever brought in to town has been there to eat. We go there for welcome home dinners, farewell dinners, birthday dinners, anniversaries, random Fridays, random Wednesdays, anytime really and it never fails to disappoint. It's nice to have a spot where we can absolutely know that we are going to have a good time with good friends when we go there. Thanks Gyu Kaku! :)

If you've never been there, you should go...there's a few in Southern California and one in NYC too, although I can't vouch for them...but check it out:
