    Our visit had a mixed experience. We had a reservation for 5:30 but arrived 20 minutes early because traffic was lighter than usual, hoping to be seated sooner. The restaurant was not busy at all, with several empty tables visible. Despite this, we were told to wait until our reserved time. I have both my parents with us, my mom in wheelchair and Dad in his walker. While I understand the importance of adhering to reservation schedules, it was disappointing to see that we could have been accommodated without any inconvenience to the staff or other guests. The waiting area was comfortable, but the wait felt unnecessary given the circumstances. One of the servers saw us waiting and she seated us right away. Once seated, the service was prompt and the food was excellent, which somewhat made up for the initial frustration. However, I believe the restaurant could improve its customer service by being more flexible with seating arrangements when the situation allows. Overall, great food and best server, but the rigid adherence to reservation times, even when the restaurant is not busy, detracts from the overall experience.

    Surprisingly, it was not busy at all on a Friday and it was perfect. We had pretty much the whole area to ourselves.!!

    Using plastic cutlery is a HUGE turn off for this restaurant. The soup spoon barely held a sip of the miso soup. The food was very good. Service was good except that they delivered new items when our table was filled with empty serving dishes.

    I have to share that my husband and I found it very refreshing that all of your staff were a group of young people that truly has genuine hospitality and aloha spirit. We eat out and travel alot and have noticed a decline of young people with helpful, servant hearts. Everyone that we witnessed there were young and were so full of aloha. The host, the servers on all the other tables, and our server were amazing! It was our first time at Gyu Kaku and we will definitely be back again. Food was awesome too!!

    Food quality is great. We got the $27 AYCE bbq for lunch. It's was more than enough for us. Although there were not a lot of choices of veggies, the choices were everyone's favorite. This $27 comes with a desert as well.
