Gyu-kaku Japanese Bbq - Torrance

We had reservations and still waited 15-20 minutes to be seated. Once we were sat within 5 minutes we were asked for our order. Lucky that as we waited to be seated we looked at the menu. Once we place our order an new waiter came to take our order not knowing we had already been helped. We had 5 different wait staff and though that might sound good it really wasn't. I felt they were all confused and I feel that due to that we were shorted on our meat selections. I felt rushed and everything thrown at us so that we can hurry up and have our table turned around for another service.

Food was good as always; and service was exceptional. Noise level was a little higher than we like. We always get there ahead of the crowd in order to be able to hear each other talk. On a happy note, the restaurant is now selling the salad dressing in a bottle ?

Nothing of what we wanted to eat was available. The only thing that was noted in the front was ice cream but where a lot more... let's not talk about there bathrooms.. every time we go and use the restroom they are always dirty! Toilets are disgusting!

Always good service and high quality meats here at Gyu kaku. Best prices if avoid the 6:30 to 8:30 full price menu times to get the Happy hour pricing! Inside with the wood paneling and some of the semi-private booths makes for great date spot!

Upon arrival at Gyu Kaku Torrance, we were greeted warmly, and our reservation for 2 people at 12:30pm for the Dine LA menu was promptly confirmed. Shortly after being seated, our server provided us with the menu. However, several items were out of stock/unavailable due to popular demand. The server instructed us how long to cook each meat, which was helpful. The miso soup was a tad bit salty, and the rice was a bit dry, but other than that, it was ok. As it got busier, the service became slower, which is typical. It took awhile for us to get our check after asking. Another worker eventually brought our check, but there was no thank you, no acknowledgement, no words, nothing. Despite these slight issues, the available dishes were delicious and Dine LA experience at GYU Kaku was overall satisfactory.
