    Service has degraded over time. Extensive wait to be seated, minimal check-ins, frequent delays. Food is still alright!

    This place is really good. We usually get the AYCE, but tried a la carte this time and I think we prefer that. We don't eat enough for AYCE to be worth it

    We had the worse service I’ve had at Gyu. Forgot food, got things too late, some people got food some didn’t.

    Me and my partner went on a Wednesday (04/02) night for our 5 year anniversary. Not only was our server inattentive, requiring that we flag him down for every single time we needed anything. In one of our dishes (beef sukiyaki ) there was a huge piece of plastic (3 inches long) in it. After we brought it to our servers attention he said “sorry about that” and took the plate away. We then had to flag him down to replace it with white rice. We also had an order of meat that was full of cartilage. As this is a place me and my partner went pretty often, this has been the worst experience I’ve had there, and is definitely making me rethink any further visits.
