Gyu Ichiro

Been here a couple times, this is a pretty solid BBQ spot to go with 2 or more people. The beef options are so good compared to other BBQ spots I've tried. You cook your own food & order everything on an iPad.When paying, they bring a tablet that will have show 20% tip and up. They only come to your table to drop off food & maybe change the grill once or twice, I feel like for the level of service provided 18% should be the max.

Food: I was extremely disappointed with this meal, especially because of how much the quality has gone down since the last time I was here about a year ago. The quality of the meat was not good at all. A lot of the meat was very tough and not enjoyable. This restaurant should be embarrassed for serving meat of this quality. The selection of foods is also very limited compared to the first time I dined here. The all you can eat price of $48 includes sushi rolls, sashimi, appetizers (edamame, takoyaki, seaweed salad, kani salad, calamari, seafood pancake, gyoza), and meats for grilling. For this price point, I would expect more of a selection of food as well as higher quality.Service: The service was disappointing as well. The servers come to bring you your food, but there is no service other than that. Our grill was all burnt and we had to ask them to change it. We were also out of water by the end of the meal, but nobody was around to refill it.Ambiance: The decor and ambiance of this place is very nice. Seating is comfortable. They don't have large tables for larger groups though; the most a table can see is six people. If you come with a larger group than that, you'd have to sit at separate tables.Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant at all and definitely won't be returning. I would suggest spending your money elsewhere for a better meal.

TLDR: An all-you-can-eat place with a good number of options at a higher price point. It's good for what it is, but there are definitely better options for those in search of a better deal. Food - The meats were good. The marbling wasn't great, but the flavor was definitely there. The additional side options on the iPad are worth trying, but they will definitely distract you from ordering more meat. The taste definitely gets old after a bit, but I'm thankful this is also around the time that the 90-minute timer ended. Service - Orders are mostly done on the iPad. The server really just shows up to refill water, drop off the ordered food, and provide assistance when paying for the bill. Ambiance - We got seated closer to the entrance, so I didn't get to see the rest of the store. It is quite different from most all-you-can-eat spots that I've been to though, since the portion of the establishment that I did see didn't seem worried about maximizing headcount. The restaurant had many "semi-private" cubicles where parties of 4-6 could eat, and this pretty much dominated the 1st for. It is good for parties who don't want to hear other tables but inefficient for the establishment who wants to maximize headcount.

Food (4/5): Solid food for an all you can eat place. The meat is pretty good and so is the sushi. Quality isn't the highest as some of the meat was chewy but still pretty good.Service (3/5): Service was decent. They infrequently checked up on us and didn't really refill water or adjust our grate until we adked which got charcoal burned after a while. But the food did mostly come out fast except some of our sushi rolls which came out oddly very late.Ambiance (4/5) Nice ambiance with great Japanese decorations. The seating can be a bit cramped and they need to add another restroom.

If you're craving an endless feast of Japanese BBQ and sushi, Gyu-Ichiro is a must-visit! Their all-you-can-eat dinner for $48.95 is a steal, especially with the added treat of half a lobster for each guest. Every dish is incredibly fresh, from the delicate sashimi to the inventive special rolls, wagyu , meat and seafood selection all bursting with flavor. The traditional Japanese decor makes it feel like you've been transported straight to Tokyo. And if you're looking for a lighter option, their lunch special is only $28.95, offering the same quality at a smaller scale.Follow @spinx17 for more NYC food recs!

This restaurant is AYCE, but I have been here prior to them turning into an AYCE. If you come on weekdays and during lunch, it will be cheaper than the weekend and dinner prices. I always come out of this place with my belly about to explode haha. I came with a group of 5 around 6:30 and the place was pretty quiet, probably because it was a random weekday. They have meats and sushi. Most recently, if we posted something on social media, we got a free lobster. They gave us 2 fresh lobster to grill and they were delicious. We ordered 3 rounds of meats and sushi, but one of the rounds never got to us so we had to reorder. Nothing better than an AYCE!If you want dessert, they have Matcha Maiko and Prince Tea House across the street which is really convenient!!

Saw this place when my boyfriend and I were walking around the area. We got curious and we decided to give it a try. This place served AYCE sushi and BBQ for $48.95 per person. Ordering was very simple and it was over iPad. We tried a little of everything like small appetizers, sushi/sashimi, and meat for grilling, and overall, everything was just okay. Most of the meats for BBQ were not marinated and tasted kinda bland, especially the beef. I really need to dip them in the yakiniku sauce to get some flavors. The only thing that I liked for the BBQ was the shrimp and chicken. The heat of the grill was also very uneven, which made cooking quite difficult. I was always unsure of things were cooked because one side of the grill would be very hot while the other side got barely any heat. The sushi/sashimi didn't taste very fresh. Edible and didn't make me sick but I didn't want to order more after one round. Given the quality of the food, even though it was AYCE, I think this place was overpriced. Unfortunately, I don't think I will come back.

05/11/2024I was in New York recently for my daughter's graduation from Columbia University Master of International Affairs. Went to Gyu Ichiro in Manhattan Chinatown. Made reservations at 7. Took the 7 train from Flushing to Times Square and the No. 1 subway to Chinatown.We were seated right away and ordered the $48.95 tier all you can eat.For starters seaweed salad was served we then got a ipad to order the meats.Meats came out quickly and we started grilling. They had different sushi rolls and Takoyaki. Something I always wanted to try it was crispy on the outside hot and delicious on the inside oh and all the different kinds of meat ribeye, filet mignon, sirloin and New York, brisket, shrimp, pork belly and alot more. Service was good and attentive.

I saw this place on my instagram and knew that I wanted to come here. I made a reservation online through google reservations and we got seated right away when we came here. They offer both Japanese BBQ and sushi. You order everything through the iPad. The service was actually really fast and good. The decor of the place was nice as well.The one downside I would say of this place is that they did not give us any thongs or butter for the meat so some of the meat did stick to the grill but it was not too bad. -All the marinated meats were good -There was one of the meat which was cubed - don't recommend that; was very tough and it kept getting stuck in my teeth-Kani Salad: Not bad; pretty fresh-Seafood pancake: Very delicious; very crispy -Iced Brown Sugar Jelly for dessert which was very refreshing and a good touch after eating all the salty dishesOverall - very great vibes and would recommend checking this place out if you want AYCE sushi and meat. I would recommend eating more of the meat over the sushi (nothing too special about the sushi).

10/10 My GoTo Spot Whenever I'm In the Area , Highly Suggest you check it Out !! Great KoreanBbq And Even Better Omasake
