Gyuzo Japanese BBQ really is a fun experience. We ate plenty, enjoyed it all, and... my son learned…read morehow to grill. We opted for the Essentials package this time. While I do love the duck breast and lamb chops included with the Classic package, we all felt Essentials was enough for this visit. Celia was our waitress. While things were a little slow getting started, once our first order went in, the food started flying out. Everything we ordered throughout the evening arrived much faster than it did on my previous visit. The menu makes it sound like they'll throttle you to only a couple of items at a time, but that really wasn't our experience. We were consistently able to order several items per person, so there was always something on the grill, more food on the way, and plenty to keep us chomping away. Our favorites this time? The top blade, brisket, hanger steak, pork belly, and even the salmon ceviche, which was surprisingly refreshing between rounds of grilled meat. We did have a couple of hiccups, but Celia was eager to make things right. After we received the wrong shrimp twice, she took it upon herself to get the manager involved. They tracked down the correct shrimp and brought it out. Thanks! Speaking of the manager, Andy was terrific. After another unpleasantry at our table, he came over and sincerely apologized several times. It was obvious he genuinely wanted to make things right. After we took a quick selfie together, he got us with a few complimentary cocktails. I have to say, anything here with cucumber in it is delicious here. Super refreshing. By the end of the meal, my son was a fluent griller and even said he liked Gyuzo more than the other all-you-can-eat BBQ places we've visited. That's about as good an endorsement as I can give. We'll certainly be back.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was frustrating enough that I felt it was…read morewarranted. Unfortunately, we never even got to eat at the restaurant because of how disorganized the front desk was. We were quoted a 35-45 minute wait and were told to join the Yelp waitlist. We stood nearby the entire time waiting to be called. We never received any notification on our phones, and when we checked the app, our status had somehow changed from "waiting" to "cancelled." When we spoke with the hostess, she apologized and told us to wait because she would seat us next. Instead, we watched four other parties get seated before us. After waiting even longer, we went back to ask what was happening, only to be told it would be another 15-20 minutes. From what we observed, it also seemed like the restaurant was prioritizing seating larger parties over smaller ones. I can't say for certain whether that was their policy, but that's certainly how it appeared from our experience as multiple larger groups were seated while we continued to wait despite being told we were next. I completely understand that popular restaurants get busy, and I have no issue waiting my turn. What I do have an issue with is poor communication and disorganization from the hostess team. Mistakes happen, but telling customers they'll be seated next and then repeatedly seating other parties first is unacceptable. To make matters worse, this was our second night this weekend trying to eat here, and once again we left without ever getting a table. Despite the inconvenience and poor experience, no one offered an apology beyond a brief acknowledgment, nor was there any attempt to make things right or show goodwill for the time we had wasted. The food may be excellent, but we'll never know because the front-of-house experience was so poorly managed. A great restaurant starts with good customer service, and unfortunately, the hostess team left a very poor first impression. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this restaurant.

Sooo the food was just as tasty and fresh but had some different items which was nice. Inside is roomy and cozy. They had a small bar area and they do serve alcohol here so it's not BYOB like at Asahi. It was a tad slow on service but considering that only the owner and another waiter working that night so that's understandable. Overall it's a solid place for AYCE with a bar.

While the quality was good and we didn't have any yucky pieces of fish, they missed the mark a bit. I got the beef teriyaki for my son. He said it tasted great, and he is somewhat of a connoisseur for steak teriyakis. I was also impressed with the portion of steak for the price. Plus, the accompanying vegetables were actually ones he eats (carrots and broccoli). However, the miss here was that they forgot to include the white rice that comes with it. Very frustrating! I'm not gonna call and point this out, and I'm not going to drive back just for white rice. It's just inconvenient and frustrating. We ended up cooking a cup of white rice for him, so he had to wait ten minutes either way. The sushi and sashimi for two tasted good. All fresh, fresh fish. Similar to my last comment, I wish they'd put more variety in the platter. With so many fish to choose from, in a platter of this size, it would be so much more exciting if a broader sampling was given. Instead, I'm given 6 or 7 pieces of the same fish when combining sushi and sashimi. Other places will give no more than two of each fish. So, not perfect, not bad, and we'll see if they can impress in the future

We still kept the Sushi Sandwich, Eel Avocado Roll, Mango Hawaii Roll, and the Pink Lady Roll, all of which have been consistently unbelievable. However, we also swapped in some substitutes for the other rolls. First, we included a Yellowtail Scallion Roll, which was a bit small, but delicious. Then, we also incorporated the Shrimp Hibachi, which came with white rice and a clear soup. The broth had a lot of flavor and contained fragrant mushrooms. The hibachi dish had a load of fresh vegetables (carrots, broccoli, zucchini, onions, and mushrooms) and a generous portion of grilled shrimp that were cooked through to the perfect plumb bites. The sauce was lighter than a teriyaki would have been, which was what we were hoping for. Yet again, it was another excellent curation of menu items. Raku has provided some of the best of Japanese food we have ever tasted! The place is a gem!

Navigating a busy mall with a vulnerable client is already incredibly challenging, and instead of showing patience, the workers judged and humiliated me for simply doing my job as a healthcare provider.Their toxic, unwelcoming attitude was so obvious and uncomfortable that I even noticed a young mother nearby tell her daughter that they should go somewhere else to eat instead. It is disgraceful that a business would treat paying customers--especially healthcare workers caring for others--with such elitism and disdain. I spent my hard-earned money here ($11.69), but I will never return. If you support healthcare workers, caregivers, or people with disabilities, take your business elsewhere. Shame on this staff.

I've been ordering from Koi 21 for years, but had never actually gone there to eat in (side note,…read morethe delivery experience with Koi is also amazing). Upon finally heading there to actually sit in the restaurant and eat, I was really pleasantly surprised. Koi is tucked away from the main stretch of restaurants in Pearl River and has its own parking lot which is an added plus. The interior of the space is really pretty - they actually have a koi pond with waterfall inside, which gives a really pretty vibe and they even have these tucked away spaces for more private dining as well. The staff is so friendly and attentive - your drink never gets close to empty before they're asking if you want a refill and the food comes out quickly. The food itself is DELICIOUS - definitely my go-to sushi spot in the area with a great variety, so if you're not a sushi fan, there's still hibachi and a lot of cooked dishes too, so there is something for everyone. The price for value is wild - the portions are big and the quality is always excellent. Some of my favorites are the crab rangoon, the veggie gyoza, tuna pizza, the rock shrimp (basically a bang bang shrimp that is SO delicious), and honestly any of the sushi rolls (the OMG and Crazy Tuna specialty rolls are always a hit and I always love a Philly roll with avocado and cucumber as well). There is a minimal upcharge for brown rice, which is my go-to. Another plus is that Koi has a full bar. The wine by the glass options are okay, but the lychee martini I had was decent! Not the best, but still a bonus and nice to have. I will still order delivery from Koi, but will also make more of an effort to get here for the great service, food, and atmosphere!
