Incredibly unique dining experience. No signs. Have to go thru the bank see the dude sitting on a chair and go to the right. Two options ala carte or the tasting menu. The staff is knowledgeable and will guide you thru the menu. Bring money it’s not cheap but worth every penny.

It was a wonderful experience thanks to the great atmosphere, delicious food, lively music, friendly guests, and attentive servers. Even though we arrived close to closing time, we had plenty of time to enjoy our meal, as the restaurant stayed open until we finished eating. I love Gyu-Kaku restaurants in Boston, MA, although I often find the menu challenging to understand. It's one of my top three favorite restaurants!
