Food is good and fresh, service is always good. Restaurant is small so big parties can be challenging

Our waitress and all other employees, especially the woman at the front were very nice and helpful, said nice things, and remembered us from before!

The food and service were very good. We were uncomfortable at our table. We were sitting at the back of restaurant table for 3 people but chairs were so uncomfortable. I wish we were at the booth.

It's expensive, but it was soooo good! When making your reservation you need to be very clear about the time and number of people. They often get the two confused. Make sure to have them repeat back to you these details so that you can confirm.

The food was amazing. It was so good. I will definitely be returning. The New York garlic steak is so damn good.

The facilities were clean and well kept.

The Food was good, but the overall ambiance and cleanliness were disappointing, investing in a deep cleaning and some cosmetic updates could greatly improve the customer service.. The place could use a serious update!

Other then the parking being horrible, i suggest parking behind where in and out is then walking over!
The food is always good and able to cook yourself to how you like it. Got the all you can eat which is a hell of a deal if you want to try and can eat it all.
Service was low! Might have been new staff but all around the place is good

We had a great time, We got the all you can eat option and kids under 6 eat for free. Warning: The spicy pork was super spicy. Alfonso, our waiter was great.

This branch of Gyu Kaku is pretty good in terms of food quality, service, and atmosphere. The wait can be long during peak hours and free parking near the restaurant can be challenging during the later hours of the day.

The quality of their beef has gone done, it used to be better. All you can eat is $50 so it isn't cheap. They give you lots of choices but the meat don't come out red at all but dark brown.

We walked into a nearly empty restaurant for lunch and were made to wait for a table. Once seated I noticed a very large exposed piece of MDF near the grill. When MDF is exposed it cannot be properly cleaned and harbor bacteria. At a restaurant that serves raw meat directly to table I knew it was compromised. MDF, for those who don’t know, is typically made up of 82% wood fibre, 9% urea-FORMALDEHYDE resin glue. This all presented itself to an immediate danger to myself and my party. I waited an extended period of time for the wait staff to check in with us with no avail so I went back to the check stand to ask to be moved. When I asked the wait staff to move to a different table I was met with a scoff like it was a non issue. I pressed and we got a new table. When sat there was no service and were made to wait yet again before anyone came to help us so we left. Overall the restaurant looks nice at a distance but up close is a dirty dangerous mess.

PS the only designated parking for the restaurant is valet so they nickel and dime through and through for a place that is not designated AYCE.

The food was good overall, but my mom said it's small servings. Look at the photos attached and be the judge. Some meats were tastier than others, but overall, the meats were tender. The soup was very tasty like the salad, and the lunch special is a good price, for sure. The service was slow in parts of the meal when they got very busy at the height of lunch, around 1 p.m. on a weekday, so I would even suggest a reservation would be best if coming on a weekend or the evening, just to make sure that you are seated right away. I would go back to Gyu Kaku if I'm in the area.
