Gyu-Kaku Midtown: Happy Hour All Day Sunday, 11am–6pm Mon–Sat
Gyu-Kaku Midtown runs happy hour all day Sunday and from 11am to 6pm Monday to Saturday, at 805 3rd Ave on the 2nd floor. A 12oz mug of Kirin Ichiban is $5.25 instead of $7, a 60oz pitcher is $21 instead of $28, and a 2-piece Gyu-Sushi is $5.95.
The verdict: a drinks deal first and a food deal second. Most drinks come down by about a quarter, so a house sake carafe is $7.50 and a Patrón Margarita is $13.50. Food only drops $1–$2 a plate, and not everything is discounted: the Japanese Chicken Karaage is $7.95 with no happy hour price. The window is the draw. It’s long, it runs all day on Sunday, and Monday to Thursday it comes back from 8:45pm.
