We went early: 5:30. Was able to breeze right in and out and had a lovely meal. The service is fantastic and the food is even better. It can get pricey quickly, but they serve high quality seafood and they don’t skimp on portions. It’s fair to charge a premium. Glad I went and will be back again.

My family and I had a great time celebrating Thanksgiving and a birthday at Gyu-kaku. The staff were attentive and kind. The food was good, though I didn’t always feel we got enough from each plate. Obviously we can always request more, and we ended up doubling up, but sometimes we didn’t even get enough for the 5 folks at our table to each have some. I’m grateful that they were open and willing to host us on a holiday. I will gladly return and highly recommend. Just ask for more than one plate at a time :)
