    The food was fresh and absolutely delicious—we really enjoyed our meal! Our server was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and truly made the experience better. However, the cleanliness of the restaurant was disappointing. The bathroom was quite dirty, with light fixtures hanging off the wall and an overall lack of upkeep. My menu was also torn and noticeably dirty. While the food and service were great, the place could really benefit from some maintenance and better cleanliness.

    The booth cushions need to be reupostered. The men’s bathroom floor was nasty and the music inside was really loud.

    Honestly so great! Food was amazing and service was great even with the busy crowd. My only warning is for my fellow tall people, be careful cause of the limited leg space (it's just how it's set up) you might wanna get up and stretch now and then. But all in all, I had a great time! Will Go Again!

    From making the reservation to ordering the food and drinks, the staff was very helpful and friendly. The food and drink delivery was perfect in timing. It was our daughter’s birthday and they made it that much more special with a song and dessert!

    We had a good experience. We ordered the set for 4 people, even though we were 3. We had plenty of food leftover, too much. We came for AYCE, but since it was a holiday, that was not available. We also ordered for 4, because the meats and sides were upgraded. It was food and we had a good time

    5.26.2025 Gyu-Kaku Midtown NYC location … Food is delicious! Menus include lots of choices and nice variety, for both regular dishes as well as seasonal specials. Happy Hour pricing is a good value! Staff employees are always friendly and helpful.

    Very disappointing experience. We came to celebrate my graduation from Columbia University, but the way we were treated completely ruined the evening. Despite having a reservation from 9:30 PM, the staff began rushing us to finish by 10 PM, just 30 minutes after we were seated. While we were still eating, they brought us the bill and pressured us to pay. Moments after we paid and tipped, they started clearing the table aggressively, even spraying cleaning chemicals near us while we were still finishing our food. We were made to feel unwelcome and pushed out during what should have been a joyful celebration. We had only been there for about an hour and a half, well within a reasonable time for a reserved dinner. I will not return, and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a respectful or celebratory dining experience.
