If anyone has bragging rights to the best happy hour in town, it ought to be Gyu-Kaku. We're not only talking about fab specials on their extensive drink list ($2 sake shots, $3 Sapporo & Kirin drafts, $5 sake, wines AND cocktails), Gyu-Kaku also offers an amazing array of $5 food items and 50% off their BBQ (Kobe, NY Strip, Bone-in Kalbi, etc). And by "food items", they mean the freshest yuzu snapper carpaccio, ahi tuna poke, sake steamed mussels, as well as plenty of tasty rice, noodles and salad options. The midtown east restaurant is beautifully decorated with spacious dark wood booths and tables with built-in "do-it-yourself" grills but the expert and gracious staff will serve you well. What I also love about Gyu-Kaku Midtown is that their happy hour also extends to weekend lunch - truly one of the best deals in town. I went a few months ago for Sunday lunch, we ordered too many items to remember, hopefully the photo above does some justice. I did not try their cocktails that time but plan to soon and will report back. Kanpai!
