Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ 231 Arizona Avenue, Santa Monica, CA 90404

"I went with my couple for V-DAY, it "looked" like a fancy restaurant and a good option for a romantic dinner. I couldn't have been more mistaken. I spent more than 100 for the full service for both and IHOP has a better service than this, the food was really good, yes, but you have to have more than good food if you charge so much. The whole restroom was terribly dirty, I had to clean it myself, they never asked anything and I had to tell them the basic things I needed all the time, as you can see in the picture they give paper fast food cups. But the real proboem I had was when by the middle of our course they turned all the lights on at max and started putting on terrible music at full volume in the kitchen for the rest of the evening. I had to stand two types of bad music loudly and bright lights on what I hoped was a romantic dinner."

"Gyu-kaku is always great, and most locations keep the quality consistent. My only complaint about this place... Was their lack of interest in being at work that day. It was Christmas day, and the restaurant was supposed to open at 11am. The manager got there, at 11am. He even said, "I don't even think they're ready inside yet" then we waited outside for almost 20min. So this place's service sucked. Would not recommend this location, there is a better one close by at 10925 W. Pico Blvd. Los Angeles, CA. 90064. This location has never failed us."

"It will blow your mind hiw good quality are the meats they are serving and the taste and smells are intoxicating. Why all good things ha e to be so far from my home ."

"Gyu Kaku Had Great Beef And Ramen I Ordered The Ramen My Cousins Would Want Some And The Beef Was Good Staff Is Nice And Fast If You Order Round 2 Of Beef It Will Take Long About 20 Minutes Or Less But The Staff Had Mistaken The Order Of Beef And It Took 7 Minutes For A Other Order It Was Fresh And Juicy I Ordered The Ramen But I Hate Sesame Seed But It’s Fine This Was Worth The Price."

"The price goes crazy in my point of view. They don’t have all-you-can-eat in the weekend, so I ordered three dishes of beef plus tofu and rice. I am not full after finishing these because the portion is too small. But the price went up to 50$ even if I am using happy hour discount. The beef is ok, but the tofu is too salty for me. I will not come again in the weekends."
