Very happy with this place overall. We had a reservation and we ended up showing up half an hour late due to an emergency stopping the subway. We arrived fully expecting to be turned away and told the gentleman at the door we would be understanding if they couldn't get us in. They were very understanding and managed to get us in very quickly, for which we were grateful!
The food here was excellent. I highly recommend the wagyu course. The staff was very attentive and made very sure we knew how long items should be on the grill to avoid overcooking anything.
My one complaint was that a couple of servers (not our server) had some attitude. Admittedly, it was toward the end of the night on a busy holiday, so they'd likely had a rough evening. We had one instance where the grill was running a bit hot and some fattier meat flared up. We removed the meat from the grill and asked a passing server if they could lower the heat. Without a word, she angrily walked up, slammed some plates down on our table, turned our grill off completely, and then picked up her plates and left. We then had to flag another server down to turn our grill back on a few minutes later.

We really enjoy our experiences at Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ. We usually order the dinner packages for the amount of people we have and add on the clay pot garlic fried rice. They give plenty of appetizers in the package as well as s’mores for dessert. The drinks are fun. The Lycee Mojito is tasty!!

I enjoyed this place. The customer service was very friendly and informative. Our server was very helpful. Explained the menu to help me pick the right meal. The seating area was comfortable and spacious.
As u should already know they bring the raw meat out and u cook it on their grill. The meat is already seasoned and ready to go. Our server gave us very useful tips to help not only speed up the cooking process without burning it. The drinks that they had were also well made.
Overall I enjoyed coming here & I'm looking forward to returning at a later date.

We came here for restaurant week menu. It’s $45 per person with a choice of appetizer, a set of 3 meats, a choice of veggies and a dessert. They also give each person a salad, 2 pieces of beef sushi, a miso soup and a bowl of rice on top of the set. It’s very well worth it. Two of us we couldn’t finish all the food and had to box up the leftover.
One thing we were a bit disappointed about was the grill. The fire was not big enough and we can only use a corner of the grill to cook the meat and veggies. We asked our waiter to take a look, and he did make an effort to fix it. But the grill was still not hot enough. And they did not relocate us to a different table, I guess probably due to the amount of people on a Friday night. It took us quite some time to finish the dinner cuz we had to grill little by little. I think it’s only our table that had the bad grill. The table next to us came after us but left earlier than us.

I've been to 3 different guy-kaku locations and they never disappoint. Meats are always delicious, as well as the sides. Looooove the spicy bibimbap. Service is always good and the happy hour prices for drinks are great! Always leave super full and happy.

Amazing experience in everything.
Spacious restaurant with plenty of seating options including a bar. Friendly staff and service was excellent.
The waitress nicely explained the menu for me and how things go around the grill. It was my first kind of experience and I enjoyed every bit of it.
I ordered the (limited time) Wagyu meal. It's little pricey and it fills.
Would recommend the place to invite people over to impress in this unique spot.
