    Annie our waitress was exceptional. She gave all the points of service and we felt seen and taken care of. We truly appreciated the extra appreciation. We were celebrating my fiancé’s birthday and he loved the food and the overall ambiance. Thank so much for a memorable evening!

    We enjoyed a very pleasant lunch. They have several menus from which to choose. We opted for the lunch value menu, along with some wine and appetizers. We each selected steak and shrimp but there were also chicken and pork options. Everything was tasty. Next time I will try something from their regular menu.

    Outside the entrance, the sign said happy hour from (i forget what time it said) ? to 7 pm. we were excited as we got there at 6 n we were hoping to avail of HH. As we were seated, the staff said, no, happy hour is over. They should not have that sign outside. False advertising. Grill was not heating up and it took several tries to get it going before it finally worked.

    The waiter (he was the floor manager) was rude and brusque, is this what it's like post-pandemic? I think not, the rest of the staff was quite nice. Plus I've eaten at plenty of other restaurants and haven't been treated that way. I've been going there for years and even though it's a chain, I like the place and haven't had any issues with the staff before. I'd go back.

    A great experience with very tasty food. It can be hard to get a table so book in advance! Happy hour prices are good, so get there early to take advantage. We did the All You Can Eat deal which seemed to be good value compared to a la carte although there are lots of rules to be aware of and you only get 90 minutes before the deal ends.

    The food was fine. Not memorable. The service was poor and the manager was astonishingly offensive. We ordered a multi-coarse meal. They brought the miso soup, appetizer 1 and appetizer 2, sides and uncooked meat immediately along with the wine and water. It was a bit odd to have all the food dumped on the table at the same time. The server never came back. We needed more water, I would have liked another glass of wine and we needed the stove lit so we could cook our meet. Finally someone came to offer us water and we asked that the stove be lit, which it was. I could get over all of that. The manager came to our table. I expected an apology, which I would have accepted as I know that staffing is limited these days. Instead, he told us that our one and a half hour time limit for the table was up and we needed to leave. I explained that he should be working with him team as we had not been able to cook the meat. He did not apologize, but ran off saying he was going to talk with his team. Our server returned and dropped off the incorrect desert. Still no apology. Shortly thereafter, another person came over with the bill on a machine and expressed annoyance as I got out my glasses. He stood over us over us while we paid. The manager needs training.

    Light above grill was so dusty, I saw a dust fell so I noticed it. Other than that, food and staff both are great. I’m from Japan and been to gyu-kaku there, not exact same but I love gyu-kaku here also. I drove 6jlurs to be here since I don’t have gyu-kaku near me.

    This is a real nice space and consistent with the flow and energy of the Times Square area. The food was really well prepared, although I must say that we were doing most of the cooking. The service was efficient, constant and unobtrusive. To be honest, I had expected many more tourist types dining at this restaurant. I was very pleased to see many more local people instead. To me, that is a clear sign of the caliber and staying power of this space. WIll come back again.

    Went for lunch with my grandchild and wife, pre-theatre. Food, in the form of appitizers, was fair at best. Grilled items, minute in volume and taseless "cooked" over a meagre flame. My grandchild's bowl of white rice was OK. The bill included a suggessted tip which was calculated including the tax. In addition, when I received my receipt my tip had been changed to a larger amount! What kind of nonesence is that? The waiter stated that he had corrected the "mistake". If you go check the check!.
