    The whole team was great! I brought my own birthday cake as a surprise and the team came out singing with the cake which I didn’t expect so I definitely appreciate the extra care everyone took to make the experience fun. Our waiter was really nice and attentive.

    Grab a quick lunch at Gyu-Kaku conveniently located with free parking in Kapolei Commons. For weekday lunch, we usually get the $27.95 All-You-Can-Eat lunch special. However, as a solo diner today, I selected from the Lunch Menu the $13.95 Spicy Beef Rice Bowl with mixed greens and miso soup. Within 5 minutes, miso soup, with a generous portion of tofu, was served. Followed by salad and tasty grilled beef with rice in a bowl. All within 15 minutes. Good size portion. Fast & Friendly service. Quality food. Free Parking.

    We had an enjoyable and fun dinner. Overall, the food was very good (and very reasonably priced). The meats and marinades were very good, the vegetables to steam were quite tasty, and the fried pork gyoza and rice were hits as well. The only items we did not enjoy were the garlic noodles and edamame (we didn’t realize they would come cold so this is more of a personal preference to have them warm). Our server was helpful and attentive which allowed us to order more items as we needed them. Our 4.5 year old thought it was really cool and loved doing s’mores at the end. Bathrooms and ambience/decor could use improvement but was an overall enjoyable experience that we would recommend.
