Came here for my birthday and had a wonderful experience at Gyu Kaku. Our Server Eric was amazing and attentive to our needs. His recommendations when my party didn't know what to order was good. The staff was also super kind and the quality of the food was superior. 5/5 would recommend coming here.

Alex is the best. He recommended the most delectable seasoning on the secret pot harami skirt steak (try the chili garlic mmm). We are here at least once a week. If you want vegetables then try the asparagus or peppers. Use the app to get free meat!

My wife and I ate here for my birthday, the food was 10/10 incredible, we went for the ultimate all you can eat and I can say we absolutely got our moneys worth. The server Tamir was incredible, super attentive, gave great recommendations and was all around outstanding. Finishing it off with the smores and mochi ice cream was a sweet end to a great meal!
