Gyu-kaku Japanese Bbq

I had mentioned to my best friend that I wanted to go to a restaurant where you cook your own food and she listened! She made reservations for my birthday. Her daughters and I visited on a Monday around noon. There was nobody at the entrance greeting you, but after a few minutes a friendly face appeared and sat us in a booth. The restaurant is a bit on the darker side and I am curious as to who was in control of the Aux cable because some of the songs were questionable...R. Kelly signing about bumping and grinding while you're grilling your meat? Lol. There were several people having lunch, but that didn't slow down the service. It was my first time, but luckily my best friend had visited before, so she was the expert. I let her order for us so I am not sure which meal she ordered, but it was more than enough! Some of the meats we ate were New York Steak Garlic, Premium Sirloin Tare, Angus Beef Rib Tare, Filet Mignon, Umakara Ribeye, Pork Belly Shio, and Chicken Breast Basil. We had garlic mushrooms, white rice, corn, vegetable spring rolls (fried), miso soup, spicy cucumber, gyu-sushi, shishito peppers, calamari, gyu-kaku salad, sukiyaki fried rice and s'mores! The meats are marinated, but there are sauces available on the table for you to add for extra flavor. The food is constantly coming out so it can get a little overwhelming. Your server does explain the cook times for the meats, but to be honest, by the time you start cooking you forget what they said about the next meat, so use your common sense when cooking! I really like that the grill is changed throughout your cooking experience. Everything was delicious and there are other items on the menu that we look forward to trying. Couples date night coming soon!

They did it! The a/c is fixed and everything was spotless! Love this place! Edit after 2nd visit: Okay, they really need to do something about the a/c, fix the soda machine, and clean the sticky floor. The food was great and our server was working hard, but this place needs an overhaul. They were having trouble with their a/c the day we went, but the service and food were still amazing. The meats and veggies were fresh and flavorful! Will definitely return.
