    Gyu has changed. The food was ok, I've had better in past visits. It was flavourful. I ordered the garlic fried rice, and this time, it tasted different. It was cooked at the table, and I never had it this way. 3 out of 5 stars 🌟

    The food was delicious and the service was great. I was pleasantly surprised when my server informed me that my 5:00 reservation was still within the Happy Hour time. The flavors were amazing, I highly recommend the skirt steak, the miso chili wings, the spinach and the garlic noodles. I’ve been before and loved everything I had then and if I remembered the name of the different types of beef that I had I’d recommend that also. Oh and the cocktails are wonderful.
