The food is always good! But very slow service, very loud bday celebrations, not very clean, no ambiance - feels very different from what Gyu Kaku used to be.

We were there to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. The grill wasn’t working properly so we had to ask for it to be adjusted several times. After we had eaten most of our food it finally starting cranking and we could tell the difference immediately. All-in-all we had a really nice time. The food is really great!

As many times as I’ve dined at this restaurant I’ve never been able to catch the happy hour. This time I did and eating there in the early evening/late afternoon, seated at a booth by the window created the perfect ambiance. Gyu Kaku is really my happy place. I will never get tired of eating here.

We went on a casual Friday night, was a little busy. Main reason for the review is server forgot our order and didn’t admit to it, saying it was on the way. Waited over 40 minutes for the wrong main dish to come out, the appetizers were fine and correct but even when asking for the main dish we were told it was on the way. The main rice dish which normally is served in a bowl after the hot top by the waiter was not done so and we had to do it ourselves while being skipped over when trying to get waiter attention. Overall, just go on non busy days and you should be okay, but management was not helpful on the matter either.

Would have been 4 stars but the service wasn't great. We were a party of 3 and the gratuity was automatically included on the bill. We asked for recommendations and went with the suggested all you can eat $50pp option, which we were informed up front (and it's on the menu) that it's only for 90-minutes. Our table burner went out and we lost time on our 90-minutes when it had to be restarted and heated again before we could cook on it. It took time for the selections we ordered to come out, and while most of the selections did come to the table, not everything requested came out so there was a slight wait for the food to come and I had to ask for missing items. The 3-stars is because the waitress' demeanor was lackluster. And while everything else was fine it was when she came over and told us we had 15-minutes left on our 90-minutes that threw off the mood. There was no finesse, tact or covert way of letting us know that our time was running out. We weren't keeping track ourselves, but it was a Monday night at 830p - there was no rush on the table and we hadn't asked for more food when she made the announcment. I had eaten at another location before, but for happy hour so there was no apparent time limit to be constricted by. We didn't get back the time we had to wait for the burner to reheat since they were keeping track so closely. Our waitress also had to be tracked down a couple of times. I didn't see/hear any other waitstaff tell their tables that their time was almost up, but maybe they didn't order the AYCE option. It just left a bad taste in our mouths unfortunately. We had fun with the experience of cooking our own food. The service was not that great, but when you have an automatic tip you can treat your customers however you want.

I dine at this franchise often. We decided to come for the limited edition all you can eat menu. They add an automatic 18% tip to the unlimited menu and you are charged for food you don’t finish, but they DON’T let you take the leftovers. The server provided terrible service. We asked for things like chopsticks and napkins that never came until we asked again 30 minutes later. He didn’t take our orders in a timely manner and the unlimited menu was limited to 90 minutes. The majority of the food is raw and you cook it at your table to we didn’t understand the long time our server waited to bring the food to the table. We waited close to 45 minutes from the time we chose the meats for our first round before they brought anything out for us to cook. Then they brought 2 out of 3 cooked items and left the 3rd person without anything to eat while we waited for the meats. It felt like the server purposely made himself unavailable so we wouldn’t order much in the 90 minutes. The table across from us with only 2 people had a table full of food the entire time while we were left waiting. It was the worst service I’ve experienced from a restaurant in a long time.

Gyu-Kaku was my go-to restaurant, so I visited with my boyfriend. Food was outstanding but I had to feel sorry to my boyfriend because of server. She was rude and left very quickly while we ordered and asked something. So we had to keep calling her several for one favor. And she cleaned up while we were still eating. She had to ask up before she cleaned

It was amazing! Going again with friends, soon! Not even a month after I took my mom there I’m going back!!! 😂 see you soon Gyu-Kaku!

We got one of the combos for two, and they were out of one of the more expensive cuts of meat, and instead of asking us what we would like to double up on for the others, they gave us the cheapest cut of meat as the one to double up on. The food quality was passable, but not exceptional. The service was almost nonexistent. This place has such a great reputation, but it must be from out of towners or someone who hasn’t traveled much.

The food is always delicious! The waiters/waitresses could get better at customer service. You often have to hunt them down to try to ask for something. Otherwise I recommend

I gifted my son tickets to the BASQUIAT exhibit and the WWE Holiday Tour! I know he enjoys cooking and I knew this experience would be awesome. He had the very best time. Has been talking about how he grilled his own food and that it was amazing. We came early after a mix up and the hostess was super accommodating and seated us early - we are grateful. It was a bit busy and so the service was a little slow but we really didn’t mind. My family got to enjoy each others company and enjoy the moment!

Everything was great. It was my Christmas present to my kids since we moved back to NYC. My only issues was the placement we were seated, granted I didn’t say anything but we were seated by the door and it was freezing outside and everything someone came in, the cold air blow directly on us. Other than that, everything was fantastic. I wish that had more seafood options and vegetable options on their menu.
