The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every dish was beautifully presented, and the drinks were just as impressive. A special thank you to our hostess, Linda, whose attentiveness and warm hospitality made our experience even more memorable. She truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. If you're looking for exceptional sushi, amazing drinks, and top-notch service, I highly recommend Yugenn. Be sure to book your next dinner or family gathering here--you won't be disappointed!

Over the weekend, we got to check out this new Japanese fusion place in South End…read more.. As anticipated, the place was very pretty and posh...with a sleek color motif of black and pink (one of my fave combos!). Since the weather was so nice, we decided to sit in their patio area...very nice! Can't say I loved the playlist (a bit busy and random...everything from soulful lounge music and hip hop, to Donna Summers, Salt 'n Pepper, etc.etc.), but I loved the overhead volume...giving the place a festive ambiance. I just hoped that the music would be a tad more relaxing and sophisticated...but then, I get it. Am sure the vast majority of folks coming here are in their 20's or 30's. Service was good. I think both Managers-Owners (?) stopped by our table to check on us...and our waitress did her best. However, we did find it odd that we had to ask for soy sauce and wasabi with our Unagi nigiri order. Maybe this had something to do with it being a fusion place? As for the menu, there were several tantalizing and interesting options. My husband and I both decided to start with 2 orders of Unagi (as an appetizer). Then we agreed to share their signature dish, Lobster Fried Rice, as well as 2 sushi rolls, "The Genie" and "Kimchi Fried Chicken". We also finished our meal with their Panna Cotta (with Strawberry). Well, we both thoroughly enjoyed everything...but our favorites were the Lobster Fried Rice and the Panna Cotta. Sushi Rolls were good, but I felt I've had better? The Lobster Fried Rice, however, was possibly THE best Fried Rice dish I've had to date! The Panna Cotta was amazing too...just wished there were a bit more of it? BTW, I liked their cocktail, "Lotus Milk Punch"...but here's the thing. Despite the lofty price point, there just wasn't much of it...as there was this big block of ice taking all the space (just as with Whiskey drinks). Also, I didn't feel that it was strong enough. So here's where I dock a star. I feel that when a drink is this expensive (20?!?), it should be well worth it. Despite the good taste, it fell a bit short on its stingy portion and weak alcohol content. One other minus I must mention is the lack of parking here. You just have to drive around until you find a space along the road. It's a good thing we came early! Still, this is a great, new addition to Charlotte...and it's a cute spot for a date night or a girl's night out. I'd definitely wouldn't mind returning to try a few more items on the menu...and a repeat order of their amazing Lobster Fried Rice!

I've been meaning to come try the food and finally got the chance recently. The vibes and aesthetics are top tier here - my kind of place! The "sound bar" aspect is a little bit of a gimmick but I'm into it lol. It's just a vibey place for drinks and small plates that happens to play mood music. Food - pretty good! Kinda overpriced lol. A $12 taco is a bit much. Again, I think this is a great place for a one-on-one date or small group birthday meal. Service - no complaints!

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.

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. The parking to the place is behind the shop and though you have to register for the spot where you park, it isn't costly (was free when we went).

Kungfu Crunch Roll (3/5): The minced spicy tuna combined with the cream cheese didn't provide the best texture.

One ask if I was here to sit or had a to go order, and I responded I was here to sit down. She responded okay. After like 2 minutes of standing she just looks at other two making confused faces. So I asked if they were confused on me sitting. Then she responds you can. This made the experience very weird! I've been to another location in waverly and they seat you so I assumed you wait to be seated here. Instead of them simply saying to seat myself. I get to my seat and I over hear servers talking about who would take the table. The server came over sweet but weird and asked if I wanted a menu as if there would be a reason I didn't! I was super confused! This location is 100% a different feel from the other location. Besides that's I got the bang bag shrimp roll and the teriyaki rice chicken bowl. The server did have to return twice and ask my order again due to a mushroom allergy! I received my food I asked for no mushrooms due to allergy and no carrots. Carrots were still put on there and sever apologized and said kitchen never reads ticket! I told her it was okay just didn't want it. But I also didn't want to have to send my plate back so I simply just took it off. Overall the food was great but unfortunately the interaction took away from the experience for me! Sushi is always fresh and good and their food is always great which why I came back but this location is closer to my house. I would definitely rather drive further to the other location for a better experience or maybe just opting for pick up order.

They set up two rows of long tables for us, one with a bench style by the window and other sides had chairs. We ordered the Yakitori platters to start spread out across the tables. My favorite was the asparagus and the beef. We then did mix ordering of sushi's and sides to share family style. I like the Toro sushi, spicy tuna and seaweed salad. They had a nice selection of drinks as well. I ordered a creamy sake to share amongst the table. I wish I remembered the name, but it was in a white bottle, for which they brought a bottle chiller out for. Reserving with the restaurant was easy. Called in and they sent a Open Table link for the reservation. They checked on reservation a couple days out and also personally called to ensure reservation again. It was nice to do something different, for this group of people. For 5 people it was the first time trying sushi and having the yakitori options allowed them to try new things. It was also nice, as some people had deitary restrictions in the group, and Saku was able to work around everyone's preferences. Thank you for wonderful service and amazing food!
