    We had the worse service I’ve had at Gyu. Forgot food, got things too late, some people got food some didn’t.

    Me and my partner went on a Wednesday (04/02) night for our 5 year anniversary. Not only was our server inattentive, requiring that we flag him down for every single time we needed anything. In one of our dishes (beef sukiyaki ) there was a huge piece of plastic (3 inches long) in it. After we brought it to our servers attention he said “sorry about that” and took the plate away. We then had to flag him down to replace it with white rice. We also had an order of meat that was full of cartilage. As this is a place me and my partner went pretty often, this has been the worst experience I’ve had there, and is definitely making me rethink any further visits.

    Poor service - Waitress kept forgetting requests. Had to ask multiple times for the same items. Took 20 mins to get the bill after we had asked.

    Overall a good experience. Food was tasty and fun for groups- priced decently well. Only negative aspect of our visit was the seating/hosting portion was just way too slow.

    I come here very often. Food is always delicious. It’s a bit pricey but I think it’s worth it. This time I dined the service was not great. I had asked 3 different people for 2 forks that took over 15 min to get them. Some things we ordered never showed up to our table. We never got refilled on our waters until the very end of our meal. Our server made us feel like we the last table to be taken care of. Even the table next to us got better service from her than we did.

    They were super full and the kitchen had a very long wait time. We were there for 90 mins and only had 5 plates of meat come out the whole time
