★★★★☆ 4.0 Marc Davis · Dec 2025

While we enjoyed our experience, the value isn't here in my opinion. The thin meat cuts shredded when trying to cook. The thicker cuts are the way to go. While everything was tasty, nothing was wow and for more than $50 a person there needs to be a few wows. This is a one and done experience for me.

★★★★★ 5.0 Racheal Turner · Nov 2025

Food, service & atmosphere all outstanding! Will definitely be back! Only thing I personally didn’t care for was the drinks. My Rose wine was minty and tasted gross (didn’t complain just ordered margaritas) but they were not strong at all! Others at our table liked their beer so maybe I just ordered the wrong drinks, but food was great and definitely will be back!

I’ve been to many Gyu-Kaku locations around the world, and unfortunately this was the worst experience. The food was fine—nothing terrible, nothing amazing—but a bit pricey for the portions. The service is what really disappointed us. The host was rude when we asked for a corner booth and insisted we sit in the middle, saying the corner grill was broken—even though later a single guest was seated at that same corner booth and the grill seemed to work for them.

This was such a pleasant experience. We went here spontaneously and our experience was sublime. We got the Meat Lovers course for the both of us and we loved it. The 21 day dry aged bistro was ineffably delicious. Everything was so good. Our waitress was Samus and she was so kind and attentive. We absolutely loved everything about our time here and will be coming back.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jeanne Torma · Feb 2026

This is a lovely, relaxing space! The decor is simple & elegant; the background music is calming and not intrusive; there are NO TVs! The service is excellent, friendly and knowledgeable about the food. We shared one of the dinners for two. The servings were generous & delicious , and beautifully plated. They were flexible about exchanging some of the beef for seafood as my dining companion doesn’t eat red meat. The prices were reasonable for the quality and amount of food. I’d recommend this restaurant without reservation.
