    Amazing food. We got the all you can eat meal and left incredibly full. I will say our waitress was running around everywhere and we never got our drinks refilled after the initial pour. Other than that, quite a good evening and meal.

    Love eating here. My favorite is the Hanger Steak, the cut and taste of this meat is just amazing. Love the apps and mocktail drinks. Great place to go with friends.

    Usually it’s a lovely experience at Gyu Kaku but this time we received fattier/tougher pieces of meat regardless of lean cut. Midtown location is more consistent!

    Love this place, always our go to spot. I’m just upset they changed the rules and stopped allowing takeout for all you can eat. What happens when people can’t finish the food. Do they throw it away? Such a waste. Also what if the meat isn’t cooked. Do they take it back in the kitchen??? They should let people take the food home.

    Continued to get raw pork that was supposed to be fried and cooking before we got it… not great. After the third raw serving we kinda gave up.

    Not the best, service was incredibly off and the simplest things like spicy cucumbers were bland. Not returning.
