Piping hot deals
Cold weather is always a compelling reason for a bowl of hot soup. And nowhere might it be hotter than at Gyu-Kaku in Huntington Beach. While the popular Japanese-Korean BBQ chain is known for its yakiniku or chargrilled meats, a must-try is the goma negi udon ($8)—the savory noodle soup arrives bubbling from a substantial stone bowl so thick and heavy that the broth won’t grow tepid before the last slurp. It will warm you from head-to-toe! The Happy Hour at Gyu-Kaku is also beloved by locals: from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. to closing, enjoy $3 saketinis and 99 cent-mugs of Kirin draft beer; 50% off all appetizers and $5 BBQ meat plates. Come in on New Year’s Day, all BBQ meats will be 50% off!
Gyu-Kaku is located at 7862 Warner Ave. in Huntington Beach
