    This restaurant pretty good!! I went to a Japanese bbq in Japan and this is pretty similar! The people and servers were very nice! Service fast and very thoughtful. Our server was very nice to the kids and high fived them. We had a set and the meat was very good and easy to cook. There was a wheel in the front and we won free meat! The set came with only 6 smores but the waiter was really nice and brought us 8! It's really chill ambiance and our waiter Ke was very helpful! Thank you!

    Listen up! When you visit, make sure you have an appetite because the food just keeps coming! You will be good and fed even before the meats come out. Their service is efficient and friendly! The food is fresh and tasty. The presentation is great and the flavors are For Japanese BBQ, I've not found much better.

    food is very good,and the service is excellent

    The food is really good, and the service is great and the interior of this place feels tranquil and the decorations are also good and beautiful.

    The meats at this place, amazing!! The hot stone garlic rice? Even better! The rewards program they have make it all the more sweeter with freebies or $ or % off the meal. For this meal, got free s'mores and other times got free app/sides like the rice. Overall amazing experience with attentive staff, clean and spacious dining area, and great cuts of meat. A very affordable yummy night out here!

    This restaurant has an unassuming entrance tucked away in the chaos of Flushing. As soon as you open the door, you're transported to a different world. Dark wood, cozy lighting and almost feels like you're going into a speakeasy bar. We checked in with the first hostess where the bathrooms are located. You will need a keycode. Once our full party arrived, we were told to head upstairs where there is another seating area and another host greets us. We waited about a total of 30 minutes after our reserved time of 5:30. We got to our table and felt the chill in the air. We're hoping once the grills were on, that it would warm us up. Half was bench seating and the other half was stools. OK for kids but might be harder for older adults. Jenny was our server and quite knowledgeable on the food options, allergies and menu. We ordered one of the preset menus for a large group that comes with cooked food and raw meats to grill. The fried dumplings were good, edamame was standard, salad was good but heavily dowsed with dressing. My favorite of the cooked food was the Japanese fried chicken (karage). It tasted way better than it looked because it looked overcooked and dry. The meat was juicy and tender. Kids loved it. Sukiyaki beef bibimbap was delicious. Simple but packed flavor. Spicy volcano was good with the flavor and different textures. The meats were really good. Veggie patter was standard. The variety and quality of the beef was excellent. The shrimp was standard. Overall, all the foods that needed to be grilled had good flavor. I didn't need to use any sauce as the meats were already well seasoned. One of our grills kept turning off and we were told it was due to the ventilation system. Frustrating but we got the hang of turning the grill back on. Service was excellent. Very attentive staff and great at keeping things moving. Definitely a well-oiled machine operating here. Smores were a part of the package and it was a lovely way to end the meal. Really nice experience here and the value was certainly worth it.

    After spending the day at the US Open, we were looking for a late meal that wasn't heavy and decided to try this place. Located off of Main St, it is located on the second floor. We skipped the BBQ and ordered Beef Bibimbap Sukiyaki, Tonkatsu Ramen and for dessert, we shared a Chocolate Lava cake. They didn't disappoint and it hit the spot. Service is friendly and efficient. There is booth seating said we had some privacy which was nice. Definitely recommend if you want something other than Chinese cuisine.

    I always have a great time at gyukaku!! The food is consistently great quality, service is friendly and fast, and the prices are reasonable. It's really fun grilling the food! There's a lot of options on the menu- including vegetarian ones if you have a vegetarian friend. There's an amazing all day happy hour with great prices- basically lunch every day, even weekends, is happy hour. The restaurant is always clean, & seats are comfortable. Tables are roomy.

    came here for lunch with friends on a tuesday and it was a really smooth & pleasant experience. we were right in time for the lunch special & our waiter recommended the harami skirt steak ($5 additional charge btw) and it was absolutely worth it!! best choice on the menu. it comes with soup and salad, plus we ordered cucumbers and kimchi on the side. only small note is the bathroom area downstairs was a bit cold since it's near the outside door.

    We ordered the food individually instead of the pre determined menu and I'm not sure the cost of the meat is worth it

I ordered the same one - unknowingly - both times I have been here!) - We shared the Wagyu dumplings and the Shrimp shumai and they were honestly SOOOO GOOD. Finger-licking good!! - We also shared then chicken lo mein - also delicious and a big portion (there were some leftovers) - The staff is always kind and very friendly.

We got the Pacific roll, and although good it did not live up to our massive dinosaur egg that exceeded our expectations. Shout out to the servers for not rushing us out. Also the bathroom was solid! Clean, two gender neutral bathrooms that were both surprisingly nice sizes. All in all, a surprisingly good find! Would definitely come back!

I asked if it was still available and my man hooked me up by popping 2 thick slices of whole grain bread into the toaster and started to hand carve a big hunk of pastrami. I thought I was getting about half of what he pulled out, but he proceeded to pile it all on the bread after squirting on a slew of grainy deli mustard. He apologized for running out of pickles, but all I could think was "Take my money and gimme my sammich!" Even as I cradled the closed plastic container, the smell of hot pastrami permeated my whole bus ride home and I couldn't wait to dig into that salty, peppery crusted, fall apart tender meat sandwich. I'm sure the other people on the bus were jealous. Next time I might even try out some of the other rice & noodle dishes, but that smoky pastrami smell still lingers on in my mind.
