    Have been wanting to try this, but have to warn others. Did the buffet (timed 90 mins but took 30+ mins to get first meat). Server forgot several items throughout, even though it appeared he was ordering in real time. Have been to other places with far better value for $ spent.

    Gas power on the grill in this Gyu-kaku Magnificent Mile was too weak and not working property. It takes super slow to cook the beef on the grill. As far as I know, other locations of Gyu-kaku, such as Naperville, do not have the same problem. It's too bad because I like Gyu-kaku, except this location.

    Waited to be seated before finally walking back to kitchen asked for one booth told no by the same waitress who had been walking back and fourth only to see later guest same party size seated . Menu has changed rice was undercooked for lunch and now comes in plastic bowl not stone sizing . Garlic chicken noodles no longer have ground chicken but sliced breast meat. Meats and shrimp I had were good tho !

    Fun time & a unique experience. Service was a little lackluster & very pricey - but that's Chicago I guess.
