Came here to celebrate my own Thanksgiving Day and was super impressed by this place and the experience! The views were spectacular and the food was top notch! My favorites were the grilled octopus, the turkey, as well as the mashed potatoes! The desserts were super good too! Service is nice, friendly, and helpful. Very professional! The only downside is that the restroom is a little filthy and no guarantee for window seating. Great for all formal and special occasions! Highly recommended!

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 :)

The food was very good, especially the steaks But the pacing was off and my wife’s crabcake did not arrive for a good 5 minutes after the other 4 of us were served. And there was a long lag before we were even asked about dessert. Entered at 5:30, out at 8. Too long for a fine dining experience.
