    Our experience at your restaurant was disappointing. The service was very slow, and it felt like there was a deliberate tactic to delay our orders so we couldn’t fully enjoy the ‘eat all you can’ experience within the 90-minute limit. Even before reaching the time limit, we were told we couldn’t order anymore. To make matters worse, when we raised our concerns, the server dismissively said, ‘You can talk to my manager.’ When the manager, Amy D, approached us, she started with, ‘Is there any problem?’ in a grumpy tone and without a smile, instead of a courteous greeting. On top of that, the green tea ice cream didn’t even taste like green tea. While the food was okay, the poor service and lack of professionalism ruined our experience. We will not be returning and definitely won’t recommend this restaurant to family and friends.

    We went to Gyu kaku at a much later time on Christmas Eve and the service and food was efficient despite how busy it was. The initial food arriving was very fast but when it came time to switch the grill, paying the bill, and waiting on dessert, it took some time and the staff did their very best despite closing in the last 15min. I appreciate the staff for working through the holidays and we see everyone doing their best through the chaos.

    All the meat that we ordered was very tender. The service was a tad slow but the waitress is very helpful. We sat next to the washroom tuck away from everyone so no ambience there. The washroom needs cleaning and upkeep. Overall the foods and services was good.
