    The garlic noodles were not very good. I used to absolutely love them and really only came back to the restaurant for it but this time it was not good at all. The spicy pork and umakara pork were good.

    First, let me say, we knew we were in for a different experience, but having to cook EVERYTHING was a bit MUCH. The food was good, but at that price point, I was someone else cooking for me. We had a reservation for 6 and I feel like we were placed at a table for four. We all (3 adult-sized kids and 3 adults) crammed around ONE grill and attempted to all cook $200 worth of food. NOT EASY!!! I also have a 3-4 inch burn on my forearm because the table was so cram packed full of stuff that I couldn't cook the food without hitting something. By the way, when a reservation comes in to Open Table and specifically mentions a celebration, do something for it!! We were there for my son's college graduation dinner and no one made made him feel special. BUMMER!! Service was great, though...so there's that.

    This was our first trip to Gyu-Kaku and we had no idea how the process worked. This was a meal to celebrate Mothers Day, and they had a specific menu with options. We asked our server to explain the way things worked, with the table grill and our server RAN through the process, and didn't seem interested in spending much time to talk through it with us. She said she recommended one of the Mothers Day "Meal for 3" option, which we ordered. It was WAAAAYYYY too much food, and we ended up taking at least 2 full meals of food home with us, raw and cooked meats etc. Our bill for the meal for $176 and I feel like we wasted half of it. Our server would stop at the table often enough, but was short in her answers and seemed like she was in a hurry to get to the next table, not much personal attention. The ambiance felt "small diner" or chain restaurant, the booths were small (especially with the grill taking up the entire center of the table. It didn't not feel like the upscale restaurant that the price tag indicated. If we ordered individual meals, it may have been more cost effective, but our first experience was sub-par.

    I’ve gone here multiple times and doing the premium buffet grilled options for 3 guests. Every time I have gone they kept changing up the way meat has been brought out. They have reduced the amount of times the waiter comes to our table to ask for more meat options to order. And, they have limited the amounts of meats per batch. I have never wasted the meat and ate almost everything. Guests also receive a full 90 minutes to eat as well. Prior to the end time, we were not warned of our end time, so we were unable to enjoy our full dessert options offered through the premium buffet because we have gone passed our time.

    Party of 6 with reservations at 6:45. Daughter soccer game ran late. Called and they moved us to 7pm with no issue. Appreciated the flexibility! Food was great! Little pricy but I would come back. Fun for date night or a special occasion.

    Great experience, easy to navigate menu and helpful server. Have been twice and enjoyed both. Would like more time between appetizers and food instead the time spacing doesn’t allow to fully enjoy each course.
