Food was very good and service was courteous and prompt. Only issue was we were brought out an extra side sauce we did not order by a server who wasn’t our main server. We politely corrected the other server and declined the sauce, and were assured we wouldn’t be charged for it… but we were anyway. So, uh, check your receipts thoroughly.

Excellent service and tasty food just terribly overpriced for the little food you get. It used to be worth it when they had all you can eat. Now the same amount of money for hardly any food. We had 3 people and ordered the 3 person meat lovers and we left hungry. Very Disappointing.

Only 1 negative thing: we asked the waitress for shrimp and she said they were out of shrimp. We paid the bill and when we got home, we found out we were charged $7.50 for shrimp! Next time we will check the final bill before we give the credit card. Hope this doesn't happen to other customers too often. Thank you.

Honestly I have been coming to this location for over 15 years and it’s always been such a vibe for me that I not once wanted to go to another location except for yesterday! Our service was at 0 stars. Everything I ordered I had to remind our server because she clearly forgot. I asked for forks and wet napkins she never brought them so I got up and grabbed it myself. The grill was left on for 20 mins not one single person approached to turn it off after we had told them we’re done with the order. Food quality was great as always but when you order miso soup and they don’t bring it until you’re about to leave because they forgot explains a lot about service.

I been to gyu plenty of times but this time caused me to walk out it was so sad and unfortunate. I was just in for vday and it was great and reminded me why I used to go to gyu so often. But this last Time was the worst. Our waiter was no where to be found for 20mins and then she finally came over “Alex” and didn’t even get our order correct. We got dirty sauce dishes. I got up from my seat to get a clean sauce dish. Every waiter just kept passing us avoiding eye contact. The kitchen staff there was a women and she was wearing head phones I’m not sure if that’s what caused the missed communication. It was very frustrating and disappointing when you were expecting a great dinner. We even order an $85 dinner plus a few add ons. So that was a lost of at least $100 for gyu. I don’t think we will be back for a while or ever again based of this experience. :( Get it together you guys were so good!

Always like the food, but the service is hit or miss, and is always like it cleaner. The value is exceptional, and if you get a good server, you’ll enjoy it! Last night, I told my server it was my wife’s birthday. In the middle of our meal, another server came over and told us she was replacing the old server, who was on break. This new server forgot my wife’s birthday. She didn’t care, because she didn’t know, but it put a dent in my mood.

I love this place and been there on countless occasions. My last visit made me question if I should return to this restaurant. I took my niece and nephew for lunch there, we ordered the combo for three people. The server came to the table to take our order and disappeared. We had a table full of empty dishes and no refills on our drinks. There were numerous items missing from our order, soups, rice, many of the meats, including a steak that ordered on the side. When we were finished with dessert, he came back with the missing steak. Great timing.

Went for a birthday dinner, started off as it was going to be a good time with a good waitress. But as soon as our order was taken, it all took a turn south. Service almost became nonexistent, food was brought out extremely randomly. Sat there for 10 minutes wondering if she was going to bring us cooking in

It breaks my heart to write this review. I’ve been going to GYU Kaku for about 25 years and I absolutely love going here. Yesterday when I went five out of the six things that I tried to order were not in, they could not accommodate my orders. They are having problems with their supply chain, as well as their internal functions. The wait staff takes 20 minutes to even come to your table after you’re seated, then it takes another 20 minutes just to get your drink before they even take your food order for you to cook your own food with whatever they actually do have in stock. Sadly, this restaurant has gone downhill in recent years and I’m not sure how they plan on turning it around, but I really hope they do.

Meats are amazing. Delicious and huge menu to choose from. Service is very slow. When I say slow I mean very slow. At times we waited over 15 mins for our next round of meat order when you only have a total of 90 mins available for all you can eat.
