    The heater was broken on a 26 degrees F (-3 degrees Celsius) Boston winter night… we had to rush to finish dinner so we could get out of there. Really cold!

    Gyu-Kaku is always a treat. While it’s been a few years since I’ve been here, it seems like they’ve up their game, even though they’re always on top of their game. I highly recommend the garlic noodles with chicken as it is even better than I recalled.

    This place is a lot of fun. The food is pretty basic but it is entertaining to grill it yourself, and the sauces and marinades make it quite tasty. The atmosphere is very lively. Overall, I would recommend this to go with a group of friends or family.

    3 people 6 alcoholic drinks 12 items ordered $175 Everything was great, such a fun time. 2 of us had been there before, the third had never visited and by the end loved it. Would recommend groups of 2 or 3 makes it easier to cook and serve.

    Fantastic food and the service was great! We arrived 30 minutes early and were happy to be able to be seated early. It was the perfect amount of food for 3 people and the server came often enough to check on us and change out the grill plate. Also the ventilation is better than I expected because we did not totally reek of BBQ afterwards.
