    Wonderful gem of a restaurant in Aurora! Our server Angela was very well versed with the restaurant’s offerings and all her suggestions were spot on! Fantastic food…every mouthful bursting with flavor. The Lumpia and Crispy Tuna are a must have! The Bulgogi fried rice was flavorful. The chocolate match lava cake was a delicious surprise- a white chocolate sponge without the cloying sweetness of white chocolate. Looking forward to going back.

    Our experience at Gyu-Kaku Japanese Restaurant was fantastic! The food was delicious and the restaurant was spotlessly clean with a great ambiance. But the real highlight was our incredible server. Despite managing multiple tables, he was professional, polite, and incredibly attentive. He made sure we felt taken care of, checking in at just the right moments while balancing his other guests effortlessly. His ability to connect with us while keeping everything running smoothly was truly impressive. Took my wife and our friends for her birthday and we were all beyond impressed with his level of service. His dedication made our night, and we’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend!

    Went here on a date and it probably was one of the best meals we’ve had in a really long time. While the hibachi chef wasn’t the most enthusiastic or entertaining hibachi chef we’ve ever had, the food was great. We arrive 30 minutes before our reservation time on a very busy holiday, but they were still able to see us right away. I would highly recommend that place.
