    This is an excellent experience for a small celebration. It was especially cozy in the winter to have the warm grill on the table!

    Really great experience overall and the food was INCREDIBLE. Our server Andy went above and beyond to make sure we had a good experience and we would have come back just for him. Luckily the food and drinks were very good as well and this will now be a go to spot for us!

    Thank you for making my birthday a special one! I had a group of 8 booked for a birthday party. I requested the private room in back and they were able to accommodate right at the reservation time. Everyone was happy with the food and loved the experience. Very kind of them to also bring a dessert on the house for my birthday. Overall a great night and definitely recommend for your special occasions

    It was a fun time for a date night. We got the Gyu-Kaku Stars & Wagyu that’s valued at $150 which for the amount of Wagyu provided is way over priced. The burner was light and took a bit longer for the meat to cook. Got the Lychee Mojito as a drink and would not recommend getting. Overall everything was good, but again not worth the price for how small the portion was. However, the Matcha Tiramisu was good but ONLY if you like traditional Matcha, and I don’t like tiramisu but enjoyed it!!

    I’d never been to Gyu-Kaku before, and was entirely pleased with it; a fun, interactive meal experience with family and friends. The food was quite good (particularly the spicy tofu chigae soup and steamed chili dumplings - out of this world!) We got the Gyu-Kaku feast for our party of six and it was just the right amount of food. The restaurant was surprisingly quiet for such a busy place. I had no problem chatting with everyone at our table. Our server George was incredible - attentive, friendly, and helpful. It was a bit chilly sitting next to the side door on a cold night, and the cooking tongs were a little short for the more thin-skinned in our group, but otherwise I have no complaints. We will definitely return!
