I looked forward to a once in a very long time date night with my partner. We chose Gyu-Kaku for the occasion as we have many times before. Our reservation was at 9:15. We arrived on time and were sat around 9:30. Anh, our waiter, greeted us after about 10 minutes and immediately asked what we planned to order for our main course, along with our beverages. After several parcels of food arrived at the table we finally received two sodas. Another 15 minutes or so. Anh delightfully reminded us that it was “almost closing time” as we asked for our missing soups. This was likely around 9:50. We received our main course before our second appetizer was brought to the table, Anh forgot to enter it whilst entering our first appetizer. Furthermore, as we enjoyed our main course, Anh reminded us again that the kitchen was closing soon. Considering our order was complete, there was no logical reason to mention this to us. It was very apparent that we were being rushed. Ahn then decided to rush the patron seated to our rear by regurgitating the same statement. The patron became uncomfortable, exclaiming that he “didn’t know yet”. As we wrapped up the disaster of an experience we had by stacking our remaining dishes to the side of the table soured by our night being rushed, Anh took our card to the payment station. Our card declined, Anh didn’t know however as he handed our receipt booklet back to us with a declined slip inside instead of the usual customer/merchant copy pair. Out of sheer morality and the last morsel of patience my partner and i had to offer, we decided to let another waitress know about it.

We go here often, our most recent visit was about a week earlier and everything was great as always. The food quality and presentation this most recent trip just was not there. We were very disappointed. It has never been this bad. The waiter removed a few items from our bill due to poor quality. Hopefully it’s back to normal next time.

Food taste pretty good, but customer service was poor, we barely got any attention, it took them long periods of time to come to our table, the stove was super high and the meat was so thing that half of it would stay on the grill, I am not sure if we would come back at this point.

My husband and I went to this restaurant (Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ in New Orleans) tonight. Manager Tony Nguyen refused to honor the $75 gift certificate our daughter had given my husband for his birthday, said their “system” was down. He deducted $55 from our bill as a “courtesy.” I told him that was unacceptable. He said he didn’t like my attitude. He left and CALLED THE POLICE while my husband and I were sitting at the table waiting to pay our corrected bill. NOPD Detective Donald Willyard took time from his busy New Orleans Saturday night and actually SHOWED UP to confront us. Detective Willyard threatened to arrest my husband and me for “stealing,” while we were STANDING THERE attempting to pay our correct bill. Thus ensued a LUDICROUS discussion, in front of other customers and staff. (Note that the disputed amount was $20.) Even after explaining the situation to Detective Willyard, he continued to threaten us, and ultimately unlawfully asked for our ID’s so that he could write a summons, which he repeatedly referred to as being “like an arrest.”He took my husband’s license out to his car. He returned ten minutes later, summons book in hand, and said he was going to give us “one last chance” to keep from being given a summons which would be “like an arrest.” I asked him what the summons would be for; he said for not paying our bill, for “theft.” I said BUT WE HAVE LITERALLY BEEN TRYING TO PAY OUR BILL FOR AN HOUR. Then the discussion with Detective Willyard started all over, like something out of a Dr. Seuss book. At this point my husband said, just give me the f’ing bill. Manager Tony Nguyen ran my husband’s credit card for our bill less the $55 “courtesy” credit he gave us as a “favor.” HE ALSO ATTEMPTED TO KEEP OUR $75 gift certificate, stapling it to the credit card receipt that my husband signed, but my husband demanded it back.

The quality of the food was okay for the price. The food was very mediocre, and anything that was plain (Ex: the pork), was bland and flavorless (I thought there would be a marinade as with most K-BBQ places). If you want good quality food you'll have to look for the more expensive Premium Beef section which is anywhere from $13-$29 depending on what you get which was also not that incredible. If you do not eat beef or are just not a fan, you are likely to be screwed in the meat category. The appetizer was way too greasy and somewhat bland (despite them being "chili" dumplings). The server was sparse and inattentive and the wait for the food was egregious (~35 minutes for plates of raw meat). My ears wouldn't pop the entire time I was in the restaurant which bothered me very much. It was decent overall but there are definitely much better places to get Korean BBQ in NOLA.

This is a great social eating experience. Talking while you cook your own food! The hardest part is deciphering the menu. If you're a party of 3 or more, just pick one of the party combos and it's much more manageable. The fried rice is delicious, especially if you let the rice heat on the outside edge of the bowl!!

I frequent gyu kaku at least once every two weeks and have showed many friends, spent thousands. Since moving from Los Angeles this restaurant has been a nice retrieve from the lack of variety in New Orleans. Typically the service, food, and everything is normally stellar. This last visit though was all but that. We had reservations for my mother and I and the grill just simply did not work, I wouldn’t have been able to roast a Marshmellow. We put the mushroom order on the grill when we got there, the mushrooms weren’t bubbling in the foil or even steaming, much less cooked after 20 minutes. We asked about the grill 3 times until the manager-Tony came out and basically told us he saw nothing weird with the grills. He said he’d only been working a month. I informed him I frequent this location and that this is not how the grills are supposed to work, then he asked if I ever ate at that table and said maybe that’s just the table, which I have and even have Instagram archive of that table. He then said he’s never had an issue with other patrons. I showed him how the grill didn’t even sizzle the meat much less char it in the slightest. He then challenged us and told us we had only just got there, I reminded him we’ve been there and grill on for 30 minutes, tested the meat again. I wish I could post the video. A sidewalk on a sunny day in New Orleans would’ve cooked the meat better. He then said he couldn’t give us another table right away because other people had reservations, mind you half the tables were empty. I get it, maybe they were over staffed. He then suggested we sit there and just be patient and let the meat cook slowly. I told him, that’s not how you cook meat, that’s not Japanese bbq. I then told him I’m fine with leaving, he said okay and had no apologies.
