    Meat fest was great. Lots of meat choices, salads and veggies for a great price during lunch. I left with a round belly. Thanks Gyu Kaku!

    We took friends from San Francisco and Honolulu. They were very impressed by the all you can eat buffet selections and quality. They will definitely come back in the future. We come often with my son and his family because it’s a place that all of us enjoy - seniors to young teens. Service is always great.

    We were 30 minutes late but the restaurant accommodated which was great. We ate the AYCE lunch combo which is super value. Additionally, the food came fast so we didn't wait long after ordering. And best of all, good quality and portion size so we were able to sample them all but also order them again. The only knock on them is hygiene and cleanliness. The bathroom really smelled and my wife saw a bag of rice on the kitchen floor surrounded by kitchen goo..

    Always have liked the place… However, when they purposely pile plate upon plate of food on the table you can’t even eat. Seriously people what ever happened to bring out the salad first and giving the customer more than a minute to eat it before piling it in. This is extremely frustrating, especially when you’re not doing the timed meals. Bring back the charm!
