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!

So fun and the sushi was incredible! They were very efficient here so this is not a place to linger as it is tiny. A very reasonably priced omakase, especially right before a show.

Our first time at this restaurant. The server was excellent and helped us navigate the menu. Food was some of the best Japanese I have ever had-- I have visited Japan over 6 times. We will definitely return on our next visit to NYC.

I hadn’t been to TAO in quite a while, and my return made for a great night out. The ambiance was just as memorable as I remembered, and the service was attentive throughout the evening. Even servers covering other sections stopped by to check on me, a thoughtful touch that made me feel well taken care of. The wasabi honey sauce served with my Shrimp Tempura Roll was a standout. It was so good I could practically drink it! I also paired it with my sashimi, including the toro, and enjoyed every bite. My waiter’s recommendation of the Brooklyn sake was another highlight. Between the atmosphere, attentive service, and delicious food and sake, it was a great experience from start to finish.
