    My guest and I enjoyed lunch at Gyu. We both had a lunch bowl. I had the shrimp and she had the chicken. Both were delicious. The miso soup is better than most places and the salad on the bowl is outstanding. The noodles in the bowl are delicious as is the sauce. Recommend both.

    Gyu has changed. The food was ok, I've had better in past visits. It was flavourful. I ordered the garlic fried rice, and this time, it tasted different. It was cooked at the table, and I never had it this way. 3 out of 5 stars 🌟
