Founded in the heart of Los Angeles in the early 2000s by chef-owner Hiroshi Tanaka, Gyu-Mai Japanese BBQ began as a small, family-run grill dedicated to bringing authentic yakiniku to the U.S. dining scene. In the long run, Gyu-Mai’s reputation for quality cuts and handcrafted sauces helped it expand across California and beyond. Locals fell in love with the immersive grill-at-your-table experience, where every sizzling bite told a story of precision and passion.
Today, the Gyu-Mai Japanese BBQ menu is a perfect blend of tradition and innovation — from its marinated short ribs and wagyu slices to the lesser-known “secret menu” that regulars whisper about, featuring limited seasonal meats and sauces.
Yet, amidst the evolution, one thing remains timeless — their original signature beef platter, the very dish that first made Gyu-Mai a household name, still sizzling proudly at every table.
