01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Plates piled generously with rice and topped with savory cuts of meat make an ideal choice when you are looking for a hearty, filling meal. A signature draw at American Gorilla’s is their take on New York City street-cart over-rice plates. The Steak Over Rice features 200 g of tender beef atop garlic rice, delivering robust flavors and rich savory depth from the very first bite. The Jerk Chicken Over Rice is equally popular, pairing aromatic spices with the charred taste of grilled chicken that goes exceptionally well with a cold beer.

Standard rice portions are already a substantial 400 g, but you can adjust your portion down to 200 g or 300 g, or upsize all the way to 600 g. For chicken and steak over-rice dishes, the kitchen lets you choose your base from garlic rice, teriyaki rice, or butter rice, offering the flexibility to match your mood and appetite.

Beyond over-rice plates, the menu features popular omurice loaded with generous chunks of chicken, including a White Omurice blanketed in a smooth, mellow house sauce. You will also find bar-friendly snacks like whole edible soft-shell spicy shrimp and garlic shrimp. A diverse drinks selection spans beer, various cocktails, wine, and hard liquor, making it easy to settle in for casual drinking.

Arranged in the style of a relaxed American diner across multiple floors, the venue offers comfortable dining seating as well as dart machines on an upper level. It works just as well for groups gathering over drinks as it does as a reliable dinner spot for anyone craving a generous plate of food.
