Absolutely amazing!!! From the moment we walked in, until we left, everything was top notch. The staff was beyond attentive, they completely spoiled us. The food was incredible, the experience was so much fun, for the first time everyone in our entire group walked away with nothing but positive to say.More infoGyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ - San Francisco, CA | South of Market (SoMa)$$$$• Japanese• SOMA•4.6
