It is always an enjoyable time having a meal at GyuKaku Long Island City. They are very child friendly and always happy to greet us as we arrive! So many food choices with portion sizes that are perfect! Give her a try if you’re in the neighborhood or if you decide to ride over on the E train or the 7 train! The train is also a great choice to get here and experience the fun of Japanese barbecue in Long Island city!

We ate there on a Wednesday night and there were only two other couples, which made for a quiet and enjoyable meal with an attentive staff. The sushi chef was right in front of us so we could see his dextrous skills in preparing the finely cut pieces of fish and applying the delicate garnishes. The fish was fresh and the creations delicious. For a special treat, I highly recommend this omakase experience!

Fresh fish, portioned rice for sushi- ordered set Omakase.Uni is fresh (ordered extra Uni) but perhaps rice was just a tiny bit more than expected.

    We had the best time there the other night. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and recommend to us the best menu for our group. The food was outstanding, the drinks were perfect. The truffle toro though, that needs to win awards - wow. Highly recommend
