| - After eating at Gyu-Kaku, I would've given my review a 4. However, our server Steven was incredible and made the review completely worthy of a 5.
Came here with my parents to enjoy a Christmas Eve dinner. Upon walking in, I first took note of the beautiful exterior. Walking in, the same enjoyable look followed inside. There were partitions between areas of the room and tables, making each party's experience more private.
Between us three, we picked the Meat Lover's combo that is meant for two people and a few side dishes of vegetables. It was totally enough for all of us, so I'd suggest doing something like this unless you're super hungry. It comes with miso soup, salad, an fried bread/cheese appetizer, fried chicken, and a handful of meats to cook on the grill. I didn't really care for the fried chicken or fried bread, but otherwise the grilled meats were all solid. My parents also both got beers because there was a deal where each beer (Sapporo) was $1.50. We were stunned!! Such a great price.
Service was just wonderful. Steven was an awesome server and exactly how I wish all my servers would be like. He was friendly and approachable, without ever seeming fake. He was always attentive, but didn't ever checking in too often which can also be annoying. Refilled our drinks without us ever having to ask. I've been a server in the past, so I guess I expect a lot, but Steven was just a natural. Seriously made our experience all the better. If you read this, thanks Steven!!! We're definitely going to ask for you next time we come.
All in all, Gyu-Kaku was rad. I think the pre-decided combinations are the most worth it, but a la carte is just as good too if you're picky and know exactly what you want. Definitely make a reservation as this place can get busy. But most of all, enjoy!
