    They need a new AC system. It was 85 degrees outside and almost same temp inside the restaurant. Went here multiple times, not a pleasant place to eat on Father's Day.

    Service was very slow. We were asked if we wanted meats or anything else every 30+ mins even though we would flag someone down and ask but they always forgot to put in the order. Refill was offered at the end when we asked for the check even though we also asked for refills multiple times. The food itself when we did manage to get it was good no complaints there but the service definitely needs to improve and the location is could use some work AC was not working, seats and walls look old and not to mention the restrooms were a disaster.

    Second time coming here within a month and this time it wasn’t that great. Our grill didn’t heat our food evenly and had to be adjusted numerous times either burning our meat or we had to wait a while to cook our meat. The restaurant didn’t feel very clean either.

    Went here for date night. My BF and I love going to Gyu-Kaku. We got lucky and grabbed parking right by the front door. It was a busy Saturday evening so we expected there to be a line. Definitely glad we made reservations through Open Table. We were greeted almost instantly. We got in close to our reserved time. The food was great per usual. Waiter was super busy and my miso soup was forgotten. Nothing that a simple reminder couldn’t fix. He was on it right away. Restrooms were well maintained. It was our first time at this location.
