Gyu San Japanese BBQ

Heard this place recently offers AYCE Wagyu I figure I will try it out. Since we have a big snow storm earlier this week, I figure I won't have trouble of getting a table without reservation. When we got there, we are the only one with the exception of one person at the bar. We were quickly seated and looked over the menu. There are three menus. One for AYCE which has 3 tiers, one for a la carte, and one for alcohols. We decided to get the top tier, Diamond, for $98. This gives us one selection of Japanese Wagyu, 1 Lobster tail, but unlimited for the rest. Service - our waitress was great(sorry forgot her name). Our food came out quickly and dirty plates were picked up quickly also.Food - Everything looks fresh. The lobster tail is decent in size. It came out marinated. The Japanese Wagyu is good also. The American Wagyu is decent, it does not have the same fatty taste as the Japanese ones. The only thing that wasn't good was the Wagyu fried rice. We had better elsewhere. The Miso clams is a must try IMO. We also love the Oysters. Very nice size and plump. We also ordered a few Sushi, Wagyu Nigiri and Sea breeze Roll. Both are good. You need to try the Wagyu Sandwich. It is very good also. The Blazing shrimps were decent. Ambience - Heard the place is recently remodeled which is a surprise to me since they only 1.5 years old. It is nice and clean. The place is small though so can't seat too many people.The only reason why I gave 4 stars is because of the price. I guess I was spoiled out in Vegas where I had a similar AYCE Japanese BBQ for much less and the food seems to be much fresher. I don't know many places around here that offers AYCE that has Japanese Wagyu. Would I come back? Probably not. I just want to try this new place out.

Tried the silver AYCE menu with a group of friends and I have to say I'm impressed! All the meat comes in smallish portions (so you can try a lot) and are all high quality.And the sushi honestly wasn't bad either!! After trying one roll, we wanted more.I'd love to come back and try the diamond menu sometime - maybe for a special occasion. It looks so luxurious!!

It's like going to Disney World as an older kid. Still fun, but not the same. Before I go, endless grilled tiger shrimp swim through my mind......dreams of Waygu beef slices on perfect mushrooms and slabs of sashimi on clouds of rice. But afterwards, afterwards...the grand illusion crumbles to the ground in a shameful, dyspeptic, thud. The service and ambiance are good.

Finally got to try this spot! We always saw it when we were in the area, just kept forgetting. We made a reservation, so I would recommend to do that because I can't imagine how long the wait time would be for walk-ins.We thought we could do the birthday deal but you would need four people or more, just fyi. We did the Premium All You Can Eat Gold. You only have 90 minutes to eat if you do any of the Premium All You Can Eat. It honestly comes down to what kind of meat you enjoy eating. Qualityyyyyy meat, I say. Very good and such a good side selection.This place can be a bit pricey if you order outside of the All You Can Eat menu, so keep that in mind! But I would definitely come here again, on ocassions.

Group of 3 and we chose gold option.Very good selection of dishes and they were all really good. The server was very attentive. All the meat selections were fresh; each portion was small but you can ask for multiple portions. We tried all types of meat selections and loved their tongue, short ribs the most. Will come back.

One of our favorite restaurants in the area! Everything is so good and so fresh. Prices are extremely reasonable. Service is always so quick and friendly. Hostesses have squeezed us in without a reservation multiple times. Cannot speak highly enough of the staff and the food. Love this place!

The dining experience was truly remarkable! I made a reservation for my husband's birthday lunch, and our initial visit was outstanding. Upon our arrival, we were promptly seated, and the server demonstrated exceptional attentiveness and professionalism. The atmosphere evoked the charm of an upscale DIY BBQ setting. One aspect I particularly appreciated was the slow-cooked preparation of the dishes. Lastly, I must highlight the food. It far surpassed my expectations, and I am eager to return. The only minor drawback was the parking situation, which is understandable given the central location in Arlington.

Visited Gyu San on Valentine's with my husband to take advantage of their special. We ordered the silver level all you can eat, which came with three slices of wagyu beef as part of the special along with a small bottle of sake. We also ordered a couple drinks. My husband ordered a Sapporo and I decided to try their Salt and Smoke cocktail....kind of like a mezcal margarita. It was really yummy. The wagyu beef and several sides we ordered came out first. Our server was very friendly and cooked the wagyu for us. We conversed while she was cooking the meat and it turned out a perfect medium-rare. The shishito peppers, grilled edemame, and garlic cucumbers were all really tasty. The seasoning on each was delightful. My husband also ordered the garlic fries, which he loved, but they were a little over seasoned for my pallette. We ordered various meats and a vegetable plate to cook ourselves over the grill. We also ordered corn cheese, which you also cook yourself. Overall, we had a really great experience. The ambiance was nice...not loud and the decor was very modern. We would definitely come back. Thank you!

Okay this made it in the top 5 of my kbbq/kbbq in the DMV. We came here for my bday which btw you get the silver or gold option for free on the day of. I love how in the AYCE that it includes sushi, appetizer, sides, and dishes.We loved the fries, katsu, cucumber salad, and salmon avocado sushi. We honestly got the entire menu and thought everything tasted amazing. There is meat is really high quality. You do cook it yourself and they help you. The chuck flap, short ribs, scallops, and top blade was what we kept ordering! I highly recommend coming here for special occasions like your birthday!

The food and service were decent but for the price, I would have expected better. Dinner for 6 people was $500 (we did have drinks) and they added a 20% service fee. I would recommend going elsewhere if you want a nice dinner for a party of six or more.
