    Not as good as it used to be. Food was not prepared or with instructions. Some meat cuts did not taste in their best quality.

    When staff serves in the Japanese way it makes the dining experience so much better. Manager and our server Sharon really took good care of us.

    About our 4th time here. The first one reeled us in with their amazing lunch deal, and it was so good we came back for dinner a month later even though it was significantly more expensive. The price is worth it, and will happily keep coming back. We particularly enjoy the garlic fried rice, soups, desserts and the meats. Typically go a la carte with the meat options (as we don't need all the extras). The marinated meat, flank steak, fillet mignon, salmon, etc are all great.

    Group of six had a great time together. We got the platter for our party which was a decent value and the food kept coming for 90 minutes. We enjoyed cooking over the fire slowly and talking in a place that wasn’t too loud.

    This was my first time at Gyu-Kaku and it did not disappoint! The meal options were clearly explained, the selection of meats and side dishes was fresh and plentiful. The servers were welcoming and attentive. We will definitely return!
