- SSoniaVIPAtlanta •15 reviews4.0Dined on Jan 31, 2025Weird they had the front area closed I got the spicy cucumber which was spicy. It was really basic. And I asked for the garlic crunch and they’re like oh it’s gonna be two dollars more they didn’t charge me, but I was like I’m sorry, but it’s not spicy cucumber. You can’t charge me more if you didn’t provide spicy cucumber. Other than that, it’s always been consistent. I love coming here. Staff is wonderful and all, but I just thought it was strange that how do you serve spicy cucumber and it’s not spicy cucumberMore infoGyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ - Los Angeles, CA | West LAPrice: Expensive• Japanese• West Los Angeles•4.7
