    Great food and service as always. Our burner had issues at the start of the dinner. The fix was rhe waiter takind my tonfs and whacking the burner hard until it started to work. Not so enjoyable.

    We had an issue with the heating element of our table. At first the staff was a bit dismissive, but then came back to check on us and saw it was an issue. They fixed the table and sent over replacement meats for the table. Once that was fixed we had an excellent time!

    This was the second time I was at Gyu Kaku, and both times the parties I came with amhad delays in the reservation between 25-30 minutes. It'd be nice if that were compensated in some ways like other restaurants that can't mert their reservations within 10-15 minutes. All else was good 🙂
