    Booked an 8:30 reservation on a Saturday night and almost immediately after arriving started telling us that they close at 10PM. Was barely enough time to get the through the many courses (food was good). Felt rushed which negatively impacted our experience. We would have stayed and had drinks if possible.

    The service was a little slow, but overall it was good. The meat was tender and very well flavoured. Our guests seemed to really enjoy the experience and so did we. We have been at your establishment 6 times and have found it be of good value and tasty.

    Fun to cook flavourful food at the table, marinades were well balanced. Portions are a good size. Service was timely, no long periods of time where the server just "disappears".

    Food was fantastic, as usual, but the service was very poor. The waitress forgot half our dishes, and barely checked on us. It's definitely not bad usually, maybe she was new, but still disappointing.

    Our server Adam was so friendly and helpful with recommendations/accommodating with allergies for our set menu. We did the 6 person set dinner ($38 per person)—great value and lots of food for the price, definitely worth it! Gyu also always has slay deals going on! Its such a fun experience and staff are super friendly. 10/10 fabulous delicious cute fun.

    Been going for years but slowly the selection has gone down. I miss some of the pork selections. It's still great for what is there and the value is decent since I'm not forced to AYCE (Guyubee) or order large portions (Korean BBQ). If you watch what you order, get some rice and take advantage of some of their promotions, it's very reasonable place to get some bbq.
