    Food was amazing and really enjoyed it. Went on a Sunday and maybe they were short staffed but I was very disappointed with the service. I’m inclined to think it’s because of the area because I’ve been to the location in Sugarland and the service there was exceptional.

    some of the cuts of meat where shredded and fell through the grills. Waiter got my kids meal wrong . He stated we could substite side dish for broccoli , when plates came, they where not changed. Also got our drinks wrong and we kept telling him but he never changed it, and he wouldn’t come to the table often to check if we needed anything else. Also left the burner on to high.

    The food at this restaurant was decent, but the overall experience left a lot to be desired. The customer service was lacking—several items we ordered were forgotten, and we had to remind the staff multiple times. On top of that, the restaurant itself was not well-maintained; the tables and chairs were sticky, and the overall cleanliness was questionable. It’s hard to enjoy a meal when the environment feels neglected. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend this place unless they make some serious improvements.

    私たちはHOUSTON Marathon前のパワーチャージをGyu-Kaku でしました。カーボローディングではなく、日ごろから食べ慣れた焼き肉です。 Japanese Yakinikuは、網焼きのため余計な脂が落とされてとても美味しくいただけます。カルビなどの味付けも良いです。 お店のスタッフさんも丁寧に対応してくださり、楽しく食事をする事ができました。 しいて言うなら、各テーブルにあるタレのボトルがベタベタするので使いづらかったです。そこに気を使っていただけたら直良しです。
