“Food is really awesome, so takeout will be fine, but service is severely lacking. There was no checking in on tables happens when its busy i guess? Only seemed to be 2 people working the whole floor, so I get it. However, what made me go 4 stars was thr fact that my friends and i stood at the register to pay for about maybe 8 minutes before being acknowledged or asked to wait even tho we did so patiently. The workers were, however, fighting over something, answering phones and processing other payments from cards that came AFTER we were already waiting at the cash register. They really need to get it together if they want repeat customers dining in.Vegetarian options: Looks like a lot of tofu options. Not sure on availability to omit fish sauce.Parking: Shared area with like 7 other places in close proximity.“

“The hostess was very accommodating and patient while we waited for our entire party to arrive. The cook was not as entertaining and interactive with us as those we've had in the past. We requested our ribeye to be medium rare. What we got was closer to a very medium, so more hard and dry. Comparing this ribeye to a recent lunch we had a week or two ago that was cooked to perfection and a melt in your mouth quality. The meat that we received tonight seemed to be of a lesser quality and overcooked. The lobster tails were very fishy tasting, small and didn't look appetizing. The noodles should be eliminated from the set items. 2 of 5 in our party had a sore stomach after arriving at home. The waitress was attentive making sure our needs were met with refills, etc. It will be a long while before our next visit. Tonight was disappointing.Parking: Lots of parking close to restaurant.“

“There's this person in our office who loves eating here. She goes to pick up and brings back to eat at her desk. So one day, she extended this offer to our office section. Not knowing what to order, we all just took a chance.What did we think?Well, the really funny thing is whatever we ordered that first time has been the same exact thing we have ordered ever since.Isn't that just so amazing? Hahaha :DOne of us likes to order the calamari with three multigrain musubis and the rest of us usually order the butterfish with multigrain rice. The butterfish is so delectable!! Sometimes my work friend orders the chicken bento.What makes these bentos fun to eat for me is not just the flavor and taste but bc of the added yummy tsukemono and food items. For instance, we get a piece of fried chicken, tamago egg (tamagoyaki aka Japanese egg omelette), variety of tsukemono that come with our butterfish bento. And most importantly, all taste really great!If you want a substantial meal with a variety of tastes and you happen to be in the older Kapolei area (by the Kapolei Zippy's and Consolidated Theaters down the long street from Costco Kapolei), this is a great place for a satisfying meal. Now, if you're a guy who tends to eat more, you might need to order a little more for yourself, but for us women, the one bento might be sufficient.“

“My fiancé and I have been going here for 5+ years now and the food as well as the service are always on par. They are located in the shopping center across from Home Depot in Kapolei near Starbucks and the Navy Feral Credit Union (first floor). The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The owners are hands on and always involved no matter how slow/busy it is. Whether its checking in on customers to make sure their orders are correct or just for a quick chat, they're always building great relationships with their customers. Due to covid, they stopped the conveyer belt, so the orders are now all hand delivered by the staff. I enjoy watching the chefs prepare the plates near by. They are always organized and their sections are very clean. Knowing this makes me enjoy eating here even more. My go-to's are the spicy tuna crunch, king kong, king kong jr, & Ron's choice to name a few.“

“We have eaten here a couple times. It's become our first night dinner place since we start our Oahu vacations in Kapolei. It's okay. We miss how special I expect Gyu Kaku to be. Something special is what we hope for but we find this location to just be okay. All the items are good, it's just that the service could be elevated.“
