I think OpenTable will get tired of my reviews of the Gyu Kaku! If I could dine here at least three days a week, I would be a very happy gal! As I probably have said recently, the portion size are amazing for me, the freshness of all ingredients is top-notch, and a service is always personable and professional! This is a great place for individuals, couples families, everyone. I understand they will have a rooftop Open soon… I can’t wait for that!

As is typical, we had a wonderful late lunch at the LICF the Gyu Kaku! We were greeted cordially, and of course, we received their traditional greeting! For appetizers, we had seaweed soup, cheesy corn, and garlic, cabbage, both which were perfect for starting our barbecue adventure! We barbecued pork belly, ribeye, and Angus ribs, along with mixed vegetables, mushrooms, and of course, we ended our dining with s’mores! As a person who has food, allergies, I really appreciate the attention to detail the service and kitchen staff give to that concern. I highly recommend Gyu Kaku in general and LIC specifically!

Gyu never disappoints, I’ve been to Flushing, White Plains and Winter Garden FL — they are consistently amazing in both food quality and service. I love the new LIC location with its upcoming rooftop. Can’t wait to come back 🔥

it felt very commercial and robotic. there was no music or vibe set. the service was a little bit all over the place. you were either getting too much attention or none at all. I would go back once they get more established at this location
