What Vanessa heusel likes about Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ:

Cool staff, super fast service and amazing food! I highly recommend it to any meat lover! 2020 update: Unfortunately, in our last visit, we found a hair in our dinner and then another one in the calamari! They replaced them, but two hairs in one visit was a very shocking experience! View all feedback.

If you like DIY BBQ on the table, this is a good place to go. Nothing is fancy, but food tastes good. It's Japanese/Korean BBQ.
