We had a good experience. We ordered the set for 4 people, even though we were 3. We had plenty of food leftover, too much. We came for AYCE, but since it was a holiday, that was not available. We also ordered for 4, because the meats and sides were upgraded. It was food and we had a good time

I think OpenTable will get tired of my reviews of the Gyu Kaku! If I could dine here at least three days a week, I would be a very happy gal! As I probably have said recently, the portion size are amazing for me, the freshness of all ingredients is top-notch, and a service is always personable and professional! This is a great place for individuals, couples families, everyone. I understand they will have a rooftop Open soon… I can’t wait for that!
