Everything had great flavor, and the food was absolutely worth the visit. The only downside was the service setup. You have to order your food and drinks at the front, then go back up to get your food when your order is called. It would have been nice to have full table service where your order is taken and the food is brought to you, but that was really the only inconvenience. Overall, the food was great, and I would definitely come back again!

I love looking at the meat counter and all the prepared meals/food they have available. We started off with the burnt ends which were pretty good, only complaint was the brisket was a little dry, must not have used the fattier cut. But overall a good dish. I got the steak flight which was excellent and a great deal for what you get. It's three different cuts of meat prepared 3 different ways, for only 23 or 24 dollars. One cut was filet, one was teres major, but I cannot remember the other cut. All had excellent toppings and were cooked to a great medium rare. Wife got the burger which was on sale this day of the week for $7! It was excellent, you can't find a better burger in charlotte at that price. The atmosphere is always very personal and cozy, it is a bar with table seating but just be aware it's not your typical dining room.

Fortunately they had small platters, ramens, soups, and other dishes you can choose from if you do not want the bbq. The place is pretty clean, the service is fast. Don't believe I had to wait more than 10 minutes for the food to be served. The server is also very kind as she not only made sure we were taken care of, but also explained things about each dishes like the stone bowl and how it was affect my meal.

I had bookmarked Gyu-Kaku for lunch because they advertised a happy hour special on LA kalbi--one…read moreof my favorite comfort foods. I've enjoyed Korean barbecue many times, so when I saw the price, I thought I had found a great midday option. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to expectations. The happy hour kalbi turned out to be four small pieces of meat for $9.95, which I had to cook myself. A bowl of rice was an additional charge, and there were no sides, vegetables, soup, or salad included. I left the restaurant still hungry, which is never a good sign after lunch. What disappointed me most was the lack of guidance and hospitality. As someone new to Japanese-style barbecue, I asked a few simple questions to understand what I was ordering. When I confirmed this was the happy hour portion, the server said yes--but didn't explain the serving size or suggest additional items. A little coaching would have gone a long way. At one point, when I asked whether the meal came with sides like banchan or rice, I was told, "This is not Korean barbecue." I completely understand the distinction now, but the tone felt curt rather than helpful. Hospitality is about helping guests navigate something unfamiliar, not making them feel like they should already know. I also ordered iced water with lemon, and the lemon never arrived...only the ice water. Was this an omen of what's to come?? Another frustration was the parking situation. I paid for parking through ParkMobile outside the restaurant, only to discover after entering that parking validation was available inside. That information would have been much more useful if it had been communicated clearly before guests park or pay. From a customer experience standpoint, it feels like something that could easily be improved with better signage--lead with the good stuff. The location itself is also somewhat isolated. While technically in Uptown, it's not in a particularly walkable or high-traffic area, so most guests will need to park in a garage or pay for street parking. There isn't much nearby other than an apartment complex above the restaurant, which makes clear parking instructions and strong service even more important. To be fair, the restaurant was clean, and the meat itself was flavorful. The concept of Japanese BBQ is interesting, and I now understand that this style is very different from Korean BBQ, with smaller, à-la-carte portions designed to be built into a meal. That said, the overall experience felt transactional rather than welcoming. I left hungry--and disappointed--not because of the food quality, but because the service and communication could have been better at several points along the way. This visit felt like a missed opportunity. With a little more attentiveness, clearer guidance, and stronger customer engagement, the experience could have been completely different. Don't let one restaurant deter you. Life is short--get out there and eat.

There's something so enjoyable about preparing your meal exactly the way you like it, watching everything cook right at the table, and being part of the entire dining experience. It makes the meal interactive, memorable, and perfect for a night out with friends, family, or a date. The food is flavorful and fresh, and there's something extra satisfying about eating a meal that you helped cook yourself. The atmosphere adds to the experience, and it's definitely a place I would recommend if you're looking for something different from the typical restaurant outing. The only downside is parking. Since MOA is uptown, parking can be a little tricky. Garage parking can easily cost $10-$20, while street parking can be difficult to find. If you do find street parking, the maximum is probably around three hours, but even that can feel a little tight once you factor in finding a spot, walking to the restaurant, getting seated, cooking your food, and actually enjoying your meal. You may find yourself watching the clock instead of completely relaxing and enjoying dinner. That said, MOA is absolutely worth the experience. Just plan ahead for parking, come hungry, and give yourself plenty of time. The interactive cooking, great food, and overall atmosphere make it a dining experience you'll definitely remember!

Quality of food was good...unfortunately quality of service lacked severely from my server. Reception team seemed enthusiastic, but the server was very "over it". After being brought my food- I was not checked on. No eye contact. She was very involved with the 3 other tables in her section.. difference was: they were drinking and eating for four leading to a bigger tip? I had to flag her down for additional rice and then water. Only thing I was happy with was the quality of the RibEye and the perfectly cooked rice. Upon exit: I talked with the manager (I think). Very enthusiastic guy: He offered to comp my meal- but I passed. Their food was good and I was happy to pay for it. the quality of people serving just sucked. I just didn't have the heart to NOT tip for the service I didn't get.

I came there for my 50th birthday and was gravely disappointed in the level of service we received. We had over a $1000 tab but received better treatment at a McDonald's. Never ever again. I, the birthday girl, did not eat because we did not get any meats served to us that were not medium or well done (I am black). I prefer my temperature medium-rare. When we sat down, we were asked how the table prefers their meats, and that was all that was served to us. Unacceptable. Other tables got a birthday song and enthusiasm from the servers; we got ignored. But we did get pineapples :{. That was the highlight of my experience. Sorry, you lost a good one. I was loyal until you were not. This is what I left them this morning.
