    Pretty good experience, got the meat lovers meal came out to little bit over 100 bucks for 2 ppl but all the different meats tasted the same. None were very different from eachother, the experience was great very fun very nice place to go to try out for a date, not the place i’m going to go to eat a lot of food. The value for what we got was pretty good but the different meats all just tasted the same probably wouldn’t come back unless i wanted to show a friend.

    We live a low carb lifestyle and this was a wonderful option for us. We had to order extra meat selections outside of the pre-fixed menu since we do not eat the rice or sushi (because of rice). They were accommodating on marinades and allowed us to swap out sugary sauces for low carb options. The flavors were outstanding so we can justify the extra cost of ordering additional options to satisfy our dietary needs.

    Great experience as always. We were seated as soon as we arrived, waiter was there within minutes to take our order and the food arrived quickly. We drive over two hours to eat here every few months, it’s become a Cincinnati tradition for us when we are in town!

    My picky kids love Gyu-kaku and I love Japanese food so it’s a perfect fit. My 9 year old loves the option on the kids menu to grill his own meat. The steak options are especially fantastic. Service is super friendly. It’s always packed so make a reservation.
