I realize I’m a harsh judge when only giving this place four stars. But there is ALWAYS room for improvement.
First trip there tonight ordered beef ramen and NY steak. It was rad.
The steak came quick. Heated quick and was perfect. Portion was a bit small (says an American…) but cooked quickly at my table, by me, which was a cool experience. The ramen was pretty top notch h too. Overall the flavor value of this place was satisfying. The bill was a bit more than expected but whatevs. It was good, I do recommend and look forward to going back.

Vegetarian options were delicious!! I liked the garlic noodles, cheese wontons, egg rolls, and spicy cucumber.

Went here on a lovely date with my partner!!! Food was fantastic, definitely rec the umakara rib eye, best cut!!! And the service was fantastic
The only bad thing was that the spicy things were incredibly spicy for me (I don’t handle spice very well) my partner loves spicy and luckily he ate all the spicy stuff we ordered

They had a set menu and happy hour discounts, so we had a great meal! The corkage fee was only $10, which was really nice. They even gave us a s’mores dessert—it was such a great experience. I’ll definitely be back next time!

Great food, great experience. Kid friendly, too, as long as the grill stays off where they sit

The all-you-can-eat options are the star of the show—tons of variety, great quality meats, and plenty of sides to round it out. Everything is super fresh, and grilling it yourself at the table just makes it that much more enjoyable.
Service is always friendly and quick, and even when it’s busy, they keep things moving smoothly. Definitely one of my go-to spots for dinner with friends or a casual date night. You leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit.
Highly recommend the premium AYCE if you’re really hungry—it’s 100% worth it!

The lady at the reception is a racist lady who attends badly who discriminates terribly against a person of those working here
We arrived at 5pm as a party of 5 and we were seated right away. All the different food we ordered were all so good and the service was great too. We ordered the Avocado Kaarage Salad, Cold Tofu, Beyond Bibimbap, Spicy Beef Bibimbap, Garlic Fried Rice and Garlic Noodles.

Our family had a wonderful meal at Gyu Kaku. All of the meat served was flavorful and delicious. The cooking was actually entertaining and our clothing didn't smell like food due to the very thorough venting systems at each table.
The servers were pleasant and accommodating. The pricing aligned with this type of restaurant.

Delivery portions have noticeably dropped lately. Now is roughly ~70% of old meat portions, always leaving hungry. Disappointing
