    Waited food too long.. The table next to me arrives later than me but received their meat earlier. And some of the employees have attitude when serving.

    I don't know if it was an off day but yesterday's service was awful. We were there for 3hrs because no one came to check on us. I had to go to the front 2X. One, to get a waiter to take our order and second to pay for the check. I thought It was an understaff issue but people who came after us left before us. We also noticed they down sized the portions which was odd because we were just at the times square locations a couple months ago with no issues. We would also order things and they let us know they were out 20min after we ordered it. Love Gyu kaku but definitely a weird day.

    i love Gyu Kaku and i’m glad i discovered it but i hope this location isn’t losing its spark. our seats were sticky and the grill took a while to start working. our meat was tough/chewy/fatty, out seemed like our server forget about us a few long moments. overall, this location is a hit of miss hope you catch them on a good day.

    It would’ve been 5 stars across the board but hostess was extremely rude and dismissive. Sever didn’t know the menu and had to grab another staff to assist me on what’s on the menu. Overall the food was delicious and drinks were nice.
