We reserved a table for three but ran into a friend on our way in. I asked the receptionist if we could add our friend to our table, especially since our food and drinks hadn't arrived yet. She refused, stating that there were customers waiting, even though we assured her that having our friend join us wouldn't cause any issues. My friend even offered to be seated as a solo customer, but the receptionist made some strange comments about it not being fair to the other customers, even though he was a customer too. In the end, my friend had to leave. This was the first time I had ever encountered such a situation in a restaurant.

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.
