    Summary: Outstanding service provided by Laney, delicious beef dishes, furniture not in good shape. Will come back. We have been to Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ several times before, but this visit was special as we brought our kids along. Despite our reservation being for 6 PM through OpenTable, the host kindly accommodated us at 5:30 PM with a short wait. We requested boosters for our kids, but they weren't ideal as they were a bit far from the table for our toddler's reach. It would be more convenient to have high chairs that could be brought closer to the table. Our server, Laney, provided outstanding customer service throughout our dining experience. She patiently answered all our questions about the dishes and ensured that any modifications we requested were properly clarified. For example, we asked for the chili dumplings to be served with the sauce on the side, including all the crunchy garlic, and Laney made sure it was done just right. We started with the Steamed Chili Dumplings and Takoyaki as our appetizers. The chili sauce with crispy garlic was absolutely amazing, adding a delightful kick to the dumplings. The takoyaki had a dense texture, which I do not like much. For the grill, we ordered the Bistro Hanger Steak, Kalbi Chuck Rib, Toro Beef, and Yaki-Shabu Beef. The Bistro Hanger Steak was a huge hit with our kids, as the meat was incredibly juicy and melted in their mouths! The Toro Beef (beef belly) was delightfully fatty and became perfectly crispy when grilled. However, the Beef Sukiyaki Bibimbap fell short of our expectations, as it only came with two pieces of meat. The rice was served in a hot stone bowl, and the longer it stayed in the pot, the crispier it became. While the food was delicious, we couldn't ignore the worn condition of the table we were seated at, with cracked leather seats. The boosters provided were also showing signs of age, with lifting edges. Despite these minor issues, the overall positive experience overshadowed them.

    This place is amazing and one of my households top places to eat. I’m kinda disappointed with the service. We opted for the supreme AYCE for 90 minutes and 30 minutes of that my server was on a break and all she said was sorry I disappeared. So with that being said the value just isn’t there for me. I will consider returning in the future but staff shouldn’t take breaks when people are on timed eating.

    We enjoyed the lunch deal at Gyu Kaku as usual except there was some confusions on certain items that were not available or/and being upcharge but our server Layla was so sweet and accommodating. The service was outstanding and it would be more enjoyable if the burner is working properly. It was too time consuming to cook the food!

    Disappointing service experience- grill didn’t work so we had to move after 15 minutes of trying to cook and the server discounted our concern, then we had to move all the meat/veggie plates/drinks ourselves. No apology or check in from the service team on the situation, but some jokes about how we should be working there too. Didn’t really feel that anyone cared that we had a disappointing experience and the server was very dismissive

    It was really great food. The only thing is it feels very rushed. Which is understandable because unless you have a reservation, you will be waiting for some time. Every table is full. Everything is very fresh and tastes so. S’mores as dessert is a nice little treat.

    I made a reservation for 5 people at 7pm. We got there right before 7pm and they acted like we didn't have a reservation. Then said the table was maybe given to another guest. So, they sat us at a table where the 5 of us were spread out so far from each other it was like 2 separate dining parties. This was for my sons birthday, so I was a little bummed.
