"Coming from Southern California, I'm always pleasantly surprised to stumble upon chains I'm familiar with out west in NYC. <br/ <br/ As with the other Gyu-Kaku locations you can grill your own food here, be it enoki mushrooms in butter or shrimp. We ordered a ton of seafood and found it to be very fresh and, b/c we were able to control the temperatures ourselves, never dry or overcooked. We also grilled some tender, succulent bites of asparagus and mushrooms. Service was prompt, as our waters are continuously filled, but quite unobtrusive.<br/ <br/ We shared a hot stone (dolsot) bibimbap and tofu stew while we waited for our food to cook. This was perhaps too much food for two, but no regrets as it was delicious.<br/ <br/ For dessert we had lovely slice of green tea mille crepe from Lady M, which is one of my favorite cakes.<br/ <br/ This place really hits the spot when you want freshly grilled Japanese food! The anticipation of the food while you grill it is definitely pleasurable. I for one am thrilled that Gyu-Kaku has opened up so many locations in the city, and even one location in White Plains in Westchester!"
