    We asked for marinades that were not sweet, but even the ones billed as only "a little bit sweet" were very sugary. I guess that's how Japanese cuisine is though. On the other hand, the meat was tender and they changed the grill grate frequently, which we appreciated.

    Such a great experience yesterday at Gyu Kaku. They offer 8-10 different sauce options that you can choose from to marinate your meat. The service was great! 10/10!

    We were seated at the table with portable table grill and was told to keep the level to simmer or lower otherwise it could catch fire. So meat took forever to cook.

    The waitress was not attentive to my party vs. other parties. She should have done a better job. We had to wait for awhile to get our order and was not around when we needed help. Other servers were helpful. We have come here often but this time around, the waitress was bad.

    I'm surprised this place gets so many good reviews. It was ok, but not great at all... Starting with the restaurant decor and ambience... it felt very seedy and downmarket. The ceilings are low which is not ideal in a restaurant where you are cooking indoor BBQ!! There were straggly posters taped on the walls. The tables were all falling apart and shabby. Nothing inside this restaurant showed any sign of being classy.... The food... hmmm... so we ordered (as recommended to first timers) the "meat variety for 3 people". When the "meat" came out, I can honestly say that at least 3 of the varieties of meat were 70% white fat... very little lean meat. It was all laid out as if they were proud it looked that way, but I thought it looked disgusting. The menu stated the meal load was 5,400 calories for 3 people, but I am pretty sure at least 40-50% of the 5,400 were inedible... unless you like eating gross fatty food... which I don't. Regarding the service, it was meh.... at dessert time, I asked the server to hold off the s'mores because I wanted my son to finish his main course. She nodded as if she understood what "can you wait until he has finished his main course" meant, but then she came back literally 30 seconds later and dumped the s'mores on the table and avoided making eye contact with me. I won't be adding this to the regular rotation. I don't understand why people love it... but many seem to..

    Overall a great Japanese grilling rest. Wish they would space the food delivery out a bit better. Perhaps it was also Father’s Day but in general the service feels rushed (even in past visits). Pretty good value still for what they offer.

    Have been here before, but never sat in outdoor patio until this time. Food and service was excellent. I really prefer the outdoor seating since we're cooking at the table and the smell of the food does not linger on your clothing. Definitely will return and ask for an outdoor table. Great place to bring friends, especially out-of-towners who are not familiar with this type of BBQ restaurant.

    We come once a week and every time have the same experience, the staff is friendly and attentive. The food always taste the same I use to live in Japan and the food and experience is the same as it is in Tokyo. This type of cooking and eating is meant to be done a piece of meat or two at a time so that you can enjoy the flavor of the meat. Most people want to throw a lot of meat on at one time like we are used to doing in America, but you won’t have the same experience and the food won’t taste the same as if you take your time to eat and enjoy the flavors.

    It was a birthday celebration with family. The experience wasn’t great! I was asked to wait for the whole family to be here before they could seat us which was fair. The table we got was not cleaned. Even after I asked them to wipe it, the table surface was still very sticky. We made a side order of the special $70 Wagyu beef on the menu and it came out frozen. We later asked it to be changed and it was better but I don’t think it’s worth $70. We had wagyu beef elsewhere and this was meh.
