Gaku Restaurant is a gem for yakitori lovers in San Jose! 🌟 The atmosphere is cozy and casual, perfect for a date night or a fun outing with friends.

I highly recommend the chicken thigh and wing skewers - they're perfectly grilled and bursting with flavor. The spicy chicken wings and fried shrimp are consistent favorites, while the new yuzu fried chicken skins were a delightful surprise!

Don’t skip dessert; the green tea crème brûlée is a must-try. Service was friendly, and the ambiance brought back memories of Tokyo. Can’t wait to return! 🍣✨
