    The first round came out quickly, almost rushed. The second round (meats) took almost 30 minutes, that was kind of annoying. Our server was great and explained everything very well.

    Appetizers were decent. Portions of meat for grilling were extremely small for the price and quality. The meat and chicken lacked seasoning and flavor and service was poor and very slow. Took over 20 minutes to bring over a small tray of raw steak at which point we ended up cancelling. Was offered a free desert but we opted to head elsewhere for desert after a mediocre dining experience and slow service.

    This place never disappoints me. We visited Gyu-Kaku at least four(4) times and have always had a great experience. The waitress took her time to explain each cut of meat we ordered and suggested how long they should be cooked. Our table was cleared multiple times, giving us room for a clean space to maneuver around. We have tried many other Japanese BBQ restaurants, and we find that Gyu-Kaku gives you better sides and more significant portions.

    I’ve been here before multiple times with friends and never disappointed. Took my whole family here for my mom’s birthday and they loved everything from the food to the whole experience with the grills on the table.

    Food was fantastic. Selected from a Valentine's menu and the dessert was a little different from the usual. The line up of meats was satisfying. All the food is spaced out but they do a good job of dropping it off in time so you can enjoy everything without feeling rushed. I tried one of the alcoholic drinks and it was really good too. I came here to celebrate my wedding anniversary with my partner and I felt like I picked the most perfect place. We both love Gyu-Kaku!!
