    We always go for the unlimited 45 and we love their selections of meat. At first you'd think that the servings are too small but you can always ask for more and at some point I started to appreciate this because that way we don't waste any food. Parking is free for 3 hrs at the Kapiolani Parking area when you use their code. This is the first time we made a reservation as we just always walk thru and we always had to wait for 10-15 mins. If you're not willing to wait that long make sure to make a reservation. Overall, it's always a great experience here and the one in Kaneohe. The one in Waikiki was not as great as they were so restrictive with how much you can order.

    Good food and very attentive servers. Used to be good value because Gyu-Kaku on Kapiolani had discounts on Thursday and Sundays, and the rewards and offers were very good for frequent dinners. Last time we went on Sunday we didn't get any discounts. They may have discontinued giving discounts on Sundays or forgot to apply. Previously rewards and offers seemed to be automatic and applied when you scanned your bill. On Sunday we didn't get a hard copy of the bill to scan and it was a real hassle and took a long time for the server and manager to figure out how to apply the rewards and offers. Some were disallowed. Guy-Kakyu has gotten much more expensive and we will probably not go back for our weekly family dinners.

    Gyu-Kaku had so many lunch deals with options to upgrade or add more to your meal. The menu had something for everyone! The food tasted great and the service was awesome.
