Pretty great food. Beyond great service. This was our first visit. This was a unique concept. Each table has a built-in gas grill. They bring out plate after plate of raw beef, pork, chicken and shrimp. The server tells you what each plate is and how long to cook it. Then you cook it on the grill at your table. Delicious AND fun. Plus they served a delicious salad, some fantastic starters and a delicious noodle dish (like Pad Thai). For dessert, they brought out s’mores. We roasted the marshmallows on the grill at the table. All and all, a GREAT experience. My only suggestion would be to have some type of written/printed list of what all was on the table and how long to grill each item. It was WAY too much to keep track of. I really enjoyed the experience and the food.

We’ve eaten at 12 different Gyu Kaku’s across the US & the consistency in taste is the exact same at every location. Service has always been stellar at every location & now we can add Cincinnati to that list. Thanks guys ❤️

My husband wanted to try this restaurant for his B-day. It was a great experience for the whole family. The food was incredible, everything was delicious, the appetizers, the meat and the veggies, and the dessert. The staff was very pleasant and attentive. Our waiter Nick, explained the menu and the bbq options. They brought ice cream on the house and sang the happy birthday song to him.

The food was great, and the service was splendid. I would’ve gave 5 stars if we didn’t have to wait for 30 minutes to be seated, even though we had reserved a table in advance and arrived on time.

Everything here was absolutely delicious! We ordered a group meal and it was a bit chaotic, but came with a great assortment of foods to try. We also ordered additional meats and desserts, and everything was great. Plus our waitress was wonderful and helpful through the whole thing. Would definitely come here again! It seemed like the Max they could fit at a table was 9 people though, so plan accordingly if you have a group.

Amazing! It was a great experience. The food was fantastic. All of the meat was delicious. The staff were readily available, helpful, and fast. The the smores at the end of a group meal were so fun and hit the spot.

Really disappointed by my most recent experience. This has been a favorite restaurant of mine and my fiancee’s for about a year now. Our experiences at lunch have always been excellent, as well as some dinners. The food is always amazing with great value. However, I took my fiancee there for her birthday and we had a very negative experience.

Very Bizarre experience. my boyfriend and I made a reservation for two at this restaurant for Saturday 6/24, and unfortunately, we hit traffic on the way to the restaurant, so we were about 20 minutes late for our reservation. However, we called the restaurant to let them know, and we were fully prepared to wait for a table to become available since this was our fault. However, when we walked into the restaurant, which looked very pretty, the hostess was eating a bowl of rice with chopsticks at the host stand. For reference, this restaurant is easily $50 a person, typically much more if you want the quality items. as someone with 10+ years of restaurant experience prior to becoming an engineer, I was very put off by the fact that the hostess was eating a bowl of rice at the host stand in front of the guests during dinner rush at 6:30 p.m. on a Saturday night at a nice restaurant. that doesn’t exactly inspire confidence about cleanliness and food safety. the hostess should never be eating at the host stand, right in front of the main entrance, let alone during dinner rush on a Saturday night. moreover, although we were prepared to wait, after the hostess greeted us, she brought the floorplan tablet right up near her face and did not acknowledge us again for about 5 minutes. we were feeling very awkward when she finally said “okay, I can seat you now but you have to be done eating in 45 minutes.” we were planning to stay for at least a couple of hours, ordering and drinking. what kind of restaurant tells you that you have to leave within 45 minutes?? this is not an appropriate request to make of a customer. again, I was a restaurant manager for years. this hostess needs to be retrained. no eating at the host stand. no telling guests that they have to leave “within 45 minutes” of being sat in order to get a table. that’s wild. either you put the guests on a wait, or you seat them immediately with no time frame. I understand that all you can eat is 90 minutes, but we came on a Saturday to pay premium prices and we were not interested in all you can eat. how ridiculous that we would be told to leave within 45 minutes, especially after we made a reservation (though we were a little late due to traffic). I was very disappointed, and we ended up going to another restaurant nearby. I was looking forward to the Japanese BBQ, but with service and cleanliness like that, we chose somewhere else.

Really liked the place. The only thing I would change is the size of the grill, it needs to be a little bigger. If you have four people at your table it would be easier for everyone to cook. The food and service were very good
