    This was a disappointing dining experience. Although it looks quite new from the outside, the interior was worn down and not well maintained. We were seated in a small overflow room near the washrooms, where the bench seating had holes and the tables were scorched. The place didn’t feel very clean, and the service was indifferent at best. We ordered à la carte to try a variety of premium meats—filet mignon, Angus beef, premium kalbi, and A5 Wagyu—but most were tough and barely chewable. Portions were tiny—for instance, the $6 steamed spinach was barely more than a bite. The filet mignon was the only dish that felt worth the price. The only redeeming qualities were its easy-to-find location and that one decent dish. Unfortunately, everything else—from food quality to ambiance to service—fell short. Not recommended.

    Food quality is always amazing! Place is a bit grungy and service is at times a little bit slow but worth it for the food and the yakiniku experience.

    Food was pretty good, nothing standout. Went here with our toddler and unfortunately they didn’t have high chairs. Got a booster seat instead, but probably not a great restaurant for small children.

    I had dinner today. Food was great and service was good. Not too pricey for the quantity of meat they served. The place itself is outdated, the benches were ripped an could use some upholstery. Parking could be an issue we are just lucky cuz my husband has access to parking as he works in one of the offices near Gyu-Kaku
