    We have eaten several times and are always pleased when we dine here with family & friends. We love the quality of the bbq combo meats with assortment of meats and shrimp, garlic rice and salad. Servers are attentive and pleasant. We truly enjoyed our meal here as before. We shall continue to return to dine here.

    I love this place and have been to multiple locations in NYC and other states! My only issue with this location was that they do not use oil so everything sticks so quickly. If we didn’t have all you can eat, I wouldn’t been a little disappointed.

    Server took forever to greet the table, then our drinks were brought out on a buss-Tub. Waters were never refilled, the grill wasn’t changed so all the meat tasted burnt and overly charred. The sides came out after we were almost done with the meats course and we had to ask the runner for it. The runner then asked us to repeat our order which was a bit outrageous considering we were trying to enjoy a nice lunch without having to write down our order down. Overall it wasn’t the gyu-kaku experience im used too. Very disappointing.

    We used to love this place. Started seeing a difference a few months ago. This time--truly downhill: Meat was fatty and stringy, marinades salty, chicken appetizer overfried. Seats were sticky, bathroom dirty and toilet was broken. Staff was borderline rude. At one point we had to ask twice to have our table cleared and waited 20 minutes for it to happen. Don't know what went wrong but will no longer eat here.

    Food was not up to par based on the previous reviews. Didn't feel very well after and were pushed a bit to order something we didn't want, as much as it was a suggestion from the waiter. We had the special for 3, which was ~$40 a person and it includes appetizers, main courses and s'mores as dessert.

    We always come to this location. Since 2018 that we come to Gyu-Kaku and it never disappoints. Only thing that it would be worth mentioning would be the cleanliness. Overall it is clean but you still can get some sticky areas. Aside from that, service, food, ambient, all 5 starts.

    We've eaten in this Gym Kaku locations a couple of times due to convenience. It is looking dated and feel owners-operators should renovate the interior space for diners to have a more pleasant experience. Servers were fine and menu offering is still good.
