I can't believe every 15 seconds you get a new dish or meat, love it LOL
yeah kinda 360 dishes for 90 minutes pretty nice
Food is bomb 🔥🔥🔥
This is the first video from Mikey I have watched in months, I grew so tired of watching him eat way better than me that I had to take a break lol
They are pretty chill when it comes to that 90 mins time limit in Chicago. Timer starts when the first plate arrives at the table and you can order up until the end of that 90 mins.
i love your strategic eating at all you can eat places to get the most bang for your buck, its so relatable lol
I know it’s the whole point of the buffet, but the thought of eating within a limited amount of time would have me completely stressed out
Same!! Plus my family likes to chat so an hr and 30 isn’t enough time
Not only that, but to be charged A LA Carte for remaining items after you've rushed me to order and eat is disrespectful.
@@denisedavis2500 it's a way to control costs, if you get a bunch of Mikeys or Rainas, that can sit and eat for 2 hours, the restaurant is going to lose money, especially with the price of beef these days
"all you can eat buffet. you eat, you go home. (not stay an eat all day)" so says a roadside stand for a buffet restaurant.
-
why they have such rules....experience.
-
you could always got a la carte.
@@cyclopsvision6370 But one hr limit and setting the heating level low is just horrible. Most of these AYCE do this intentionally to delay cooking time.
when your commentary is 💯 i feel like i'm eating it with you 🤤
Imagine CZcams commenting on one of your videos 😍
Oh hell naw
Omg
😱

The Bistro Hanger Steak is my favorite cut off their lowest tier ACYE and lunch special menu, an tender and flavorful cut of meat. I usually just get the lunch special and upgrade the rice to bibimbap, makes for an excellent meal at half the price of the AYCE.
Yes hanger steak is the best cut that I never find anywhere else
It also used to be $30 ayce dayum
Yeah they removed soem of the meat and increased the price pretty shitty now
I was waiting for you to call out the broccoli! Looks amazing, I wish smellovision existed already!
My husband and I went there for Valentine's Day. It was our first time there, and omg we loved it so much. We ended up going back in March for my husband's birthday. So good! The highest tier menu is worth it for us since we love the harami skirt steak.
Every time Mikey steps into a buffet restaurant, the owner shakes in his/her boots. This man can bankrupt a buffet even with a time limit!
I raise scottish highland cattle - Essentially the lesser known (albeit leaner!) wagyu. Because the cattle have a hairy fur layer, the don't develop a surface fat, and distribute their fat into marbling. However, in terms of cholesterol and fat, the meat is similar to chicken. So beefy tasting and rich. So delicious!
All that to say, I'm waiting for the day I can have Mike over for a steak! Let me know when you come to Montreal friend!
Ohhhhh! You were so close! Right next door to that bubble tea place is Sushi Tomi, which is one of the best sushi bars I've ever been in that wasn't trying to be huge and fancy. It's very unpretentious but the fish is uncommonly excellent. It's a must whenever I'm in Orlando.
These buffet videos are the best! So much good food wherever you go
You should go there 😎
@@letsrolloutnyc I already been there since I live in Orlando but I just never vlogged it
@@ChinaDollTravels well you should vlog it missy lol
One of my favorite restaurants, go to the one in downtown Chicago all the time, and tbh it seems better than this one, im pretty sure you can order all the way up to the 90 minutes and you aren't rushed out the door, also they change your grill usually 2 or 3 times everytime I've done it 🙏🙏
Me too
I really wouldn't be able to enjoy my food having to constantly worry about the time limit
The Gyu Kaku locations I've been to in Boston didn't enforce the time limit very strongly. You have to see there egregiously long for them to kick you out.
Maybe that's why 11:51
I mean almost all all u can eat places have a 90 mins time limit here in Asia, idk about the US
I got stressed just watching him
90 minutes is not a long time if you are having a nice conversation, and 2 people are gonna spend a minimum of $90 with a time limit? it's not for me.
You have no idea how happy it makes me to see you went to my all time favorite japanese bbq restaurant!!!
I was getting meat sweats watching him order the 4th plate of beef especially with the bowl of ramen and sukiyaki. Must be at least 2 people across from you. 😂
We have a a Gyu Kaku like five minutes from our house. We have done delivery from them before and it was great, but since our anniversary is coming up perhaps me and my significant other will go there for dinner.
My partner and I celebrate our anniversary on the 11th - double date? 😂
@@katherinedesmarais4673 OH MY. My husband and I have ours on the 12th and thought of going to Gyu-Kaku 😅🥰
@@Meep55412 TRIPLE DATE!
Honestly, I live nowhere near a Gyu Kaku (we live in the Montreal area) but we will have a great meal and think of all our anniversary twins!
@@katherinedesmarais4673 I don't have a relationship.
I went to the location in Montreal and had a great time. I didn't go for all you can eat but the bbq pieces were amazing, i got hangar steak and some sort of marinated pork. I also got the beef bibimbop sukiyaki bowl and it was incredibly flavorful. Seriously no lack of flavor at these restaurants. Funny enough our grill was very hot and cooked my thin pieces of meat in under a minute so it could have just been a flaw of that location! Prices were beyond amazing for a bbq place. 10/10 recommend
Dude this channel has changed so much
So has his face from the sodium he's eaten the last few years. He's starting to look like Jackie Chan.
So for me and my friends, the supreme was worth it because it allowed us to get unlimited of the harami skirt steak. It was pretty unanimously our favorite.
Also, for the grill top, they DO change them on request.
Mikey didn't even bother shaking out the spicy sauce, just opened the cap and poured it out
LOL
She asked you in the video if you wanted a grill change and you said no. But then at the end you say they never changed the grill?? Can’t fault them for you saying no
Said the grill isn’t hot. Could’ve asked the waitress to turn it up, or not stuff the grill with so much meat
@@vuongn2318 12:27
Wait, sorry, when did they ask him for the grill change? I didn't catch that in the video
@@NejiRaven I didn't hear that either. I was put off by the time limit condition from the start.
@@NejiRaven people are so hungry from watching these videos they're starting to hallucinate that they're actually there eating with him in the comments 😂
Its about that Time. Love you Mike
Why does he treat that poor girl like a pet? Damn man have some respect for her.
agreed
Money talks
Wdym
I was pretty stressed through all the video because of time pressure🤣
Nice video Mike, thank you
Next time you’re in Orlando check out sticky rice, domu and krave tea! We’ve got so much good food here I could go on forever, I love my city 💖
Yep, I'm here to take notes about buffet strategy.
I absolutely love this place. Tried the place in Times Square, NYC. I recommend happy hour dining and get there early. I had the Japanese colada as well. 😋 Definitely love the steak, and gyoza!!
I actually work there and we don't really enforce the time limit that hard unless it's like a pretty busy day or you've been there for 2 hours, I give my customers 90 minutes to order food, no rush, and always delay the desserts up until they finish eating the meats unless they tell me otherwise. Another thing is that this guys eats A LOT, 1 ramen 1 bibimbap and 2 meats would knock me out however he went for 4 rounds of meat, that and DESSERT WTH. But yeah if u a normal person don't worry too much about it, you'll be fine.
Now I am thinking of celebrating my birthday this weekend at a nearby Gyu Kaku. Thanks Mikey!
Happy birthday to you, all the best. :)
Im celebrating mine on April 25th. :D
Happy Birthday! I told my BF this is where I want to go for mine.
Make sure it has ayce. Most locations dont.
@@Ms_Tania Thank you. Advance Happy Birthday to you as well.
@@KungfuKitty602 Thank you. Just make sure they offer this at the location you are going to.
I have never seen a man while eating flexing he's imaginary muscles 😳 !!!
I’ve been to that one a few times! Good stuff
The one in the San Fernando Valley is amazing. Love the s’mores at the end!
Mike, thank you for living the dream once again 🙏 this spot looks SLAMMIN'.
All looked so good but I would not be able to eat there and get my money's worth. I am a slow eater and if you put me on a time limit I'm out. Best of health, wealth, and prosperity.🙏🏼
My family tried the all you can eat on oahu. It was one of the best meals we had. Really great experience having meat, meat, and more meat. Great job on the video.
2:46 look 👀 at all that juice! It’s tender and juicy 😅 I like a little char on my bbq too!!!
Super fatty beef is the best with a little charred edges. I'm hungry now..
@@CZcamsrGrudge I agree ☝️
Yes Gyu Kaku! The spicy sauce is my favorite.
It’s always a good day seeing Mikey post a new food video! That food looks absolutely amazing, it’s making me super hungry just watching!
Broooo I was just there 4 hrs ago and you posted this 3 hrs ago. Wish one day I’ll bump into ya LOL thanks for all these videos Mike :)
For anyone reading this, he is totally wrong about the time limits. I've been to this specific location multiple times. It's 90 minutes for ORDERING. And not an hour, whatever he said. And you don't have to magically inhale everything on your table in that time. 90 minutes...to order. I've never left here remotely hungry, you'd have to be some kind of freak to not get your fill, or else just so slow that you shouldn't be doing this anyway.
And basically it's the same as at any buffet, time limit or no, they don't want you to waste lots of food. If you leave a little, they're not jerks about it.
Oh, and they always change the grill. I missed it but someone else here said that he explicitly told them not to (probably thought it would waste time). They're totally fine with changing it. We always get it changed once by the end so it's not coated and nasty.
He does such minimal research or understanding anymore, just spouts bad info because he can't take the time to comprehend anything.
Do you work for them or something this seems a bit personal. 😂😂
He should have asked them to change the grill when he said the meat wasn’t cooking fast enough. It was so obvious and yet he claims it’s some kind of conspiracy.
I agree with you (at least for the most part). when my friends and I ate there we definitely stayed on our seats for at least 2 hours for eating and a bit more to chat. at some point (and especially when it's crowded) the meats came a bit slowly after a few times ordering it 😂
but yes, 90 mins isn't the time limit to do everything, just for the ordering.
I agree with you, too. I work at a restaurant he visited before and this guy didn’t even leave a tip. He was comped his entire meal and he couldn’t even leave a $1 lol. I know he brings business to the restaurants with his videos, but that doesn’t mean you can’t leave a tip for the hard working waiter/waitress. What a joke.
You’d think mikey would learn his lesson and bring his hot sauce everywhere he goes
Been to the one in LA several times while I was there. Loved it.
Just about to eat dinner and this will make it so much better hopefully!
Fan from New Zealand 🇳🇿 You da man Mikey 🙌🏾💯
I’ll definitely visit your country next year
Cheers from San Diego California
hey mikey love your videos keep up the good work!
Watching this at 2am. So much regret but very worth it.
This place is incredible. One of the few low key spots you can get A5 Wagyu as well. Their garlic fried rise is maybe of the best side dishes at any restaurant ever.
All this first class meat quality is bringing saliva to mouth. Tough to watch without getting hungry. Im amazed at how much Mikey can eat at once? Hats down, no food challenge is match for you.
Mike as always a great vlog !
Never knew about a Japanese all you can eat. Thanks Mike 😁
Mikey, NEVER leave home without your spicey oil!
There was one in Frisco, TX when you lived there. We enjoy going there when we get the chance.
I am a 3000 calorie per day dude and Gyu Kaku is so amazing, I have always felt that I came out ahead.
I go to that location and they usually do change out the grill.. not sure what happened at that time. Also noticed sushi Tomi was behind u at the end where u get your boba tea.. that place is great too!
Mikey, keep the content going....I'm following you all around the country....before I go to a new state I check out your videos and go to your recommended places
Even though there might be a conspiracy with the heating mechanism, i think you still got your moneys worth. 😎 i must try that place when i go back to Florida. Awesome video as always Mikey.
Is it possible to ask them to adjust the grill?
@@NanaPapa123 some places won’t do it. I’ve been to a few places that I’ve asked and they told me they couldn’t.
@@toualee1430 You can do it yourself
My husband and I went a week ago to the Burlington MA location. Out of all those sauces my favorite is the sweet soy sauce. What’s good with the spicy though I have to say is the pork belly. I was not a fan of the chicken at all. The ramen however was amazing we shared that with my best friend.. numbing I loved the chili oil/flakes added. Nothing ended our meal better than roasting s’mores at the end! Will be back and next time to try the $65 Waygu!
I think my only gripe when it comes to AYCE menus is that I really don't care about how extensive the menu is. At the end of the day, you end up sticking to the few dishes/cuts that taste the best. I rarely go to AYCE bbq's for anything else other than the meats anyhow, and I usually just stick with beef belly/toro, large intestines, and skirt steak (if they have it). Because of this, I think I'd rather stick to cheaper KBBQ rather than places like Gyu Kaku. Just seems way too pricey for minimum 45$ per person for the lowest tier one. Not to mention their strict rules.
Now, if they also offered proper wagyu cuts, then that's maybe one reason I'd want to go to Gyu Kaku.
I love Gyu-Kaku so much ❤️ I think the unlimited option would give me anxiety knowing I had to eat it so quickly, but I have a few different things I know I need to order next time now!
imagine the anxiety serving it, to everyone, in the entire restaurant, constantly,
90 minutes of eating!!!!
Good video. Thank you for the suggestions. Thank you to everyone 🙂 🙏
Guy Kaku has serval locations in the USA I have been to the one in Addison Texas man that is really great
[Gosh Dang!!!!]
Deeply appreciate your honesty and genuine love for bring us along with you. Huge love!😍😍👏👏👏❤
I can't stop watching. I love your voice and narration.
*Glorious! 😍 😋 I LIKE WHEN YOU ARE EATING A BIG PIECE^^*
Hey Mikey I love all of your videos keep up the good job on them from Steubenville Ohio
IM SO GLAD YOU ATE THERE IT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES EVER
Good work. Needed to see this review. Gonna hit it next week
I like shoyu and wasabi with yakiniku...some outlets have A4 / A5 wagyu at a higher price and they use japanese charcoal
Broccoli and cheese soup Mikey? How bout it😁It's goooood
I went to the one in Charlotte NC last month. I loved it!
Mikey I love you! And I got in under the first 20! Can't wait to see the rest of your video to make a real comment LOL
more screen time for christine please
Man I love Orlando, such good food and people.
Love the game plan Mike.
Guy Kaku is so good. I got the Ultimate last time I went.
I haven’t watched these vids in awhile, but as soon as I saw Japanese food. I will always click right away.
Idk why I enjoy watching you eat lol, also the tips on eating at a buffet place like this helps lmao
My role model Haruka Fukuhara inspired me to try Japanese BBQ. This may seem odd but, your video was great intel. I noted your concerns and begun strategic formula development. When I finally eat Japanese BBQ, I believe I will do well because of your video. Instead of asking what would "Haruka Fukuhara do?" To guide me.
Thanks Mike! I wish you blessings.
Looked good. Most everything was enjoyable.
We have a gyu kaku here in philly i love their bacon chips and boneless chicken
I got so excited to see this review. I LOVE Gyu Kaku here in Houston. It's my favorite place to go, and the all you can eat is bomb
This is my one of my fave AYCE restaurants in Toronto! Didn't know their chain is international. Toronto is a bit more generous though, we have 2hr limit. Surprised they don't have the amazing Cumin Chili Spice powder that we have in Toronto there!
Wow! So amazing! Really impressed with this video! Enjoyed it 100%!
Nice work on the buffet, considering the limitations! You did just what I would've done.
OMG you finally did one on my FAV restaurant. I just visited the one in Beverly Hills/LA last week while on a work trip. I always visit whenever the city I am in has one. The Orlando location is new, I just moved from Florida last year. I can tell you the experience isn't the same as it was in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, where I'm originally from. However I freaking love it! It's the freaking best! PS what is that chili oil in the spicy cabbage salad and the steamed chili dumplings? Someone give me the secret!
Also I literally sat at that same exact table the two times I visited that Orlando location! Wow!
you can ask them to turn the fire on or you can do it yourself (I dont know they allow it or not but I did it). And you can ask them to change the new grill
Same reaction to everything .
11:25 No it’s just a s’more. Why do people want compliments for their s’mores so badly?
agreed
Wow amazing food video 😍 all the meat look delicious
I appreciate the tips you gave on this video!
The real reason the grill doesn’t get that hot is because when the extremely fatty beef fat drips down it’s gonna be a fire show
Me watching Mikey eat: Ok, Im full.
You should try the Chicken Garlic Noodles (side) next time.
I went to a buffet and didn't eat a single thing. Now that's worth filming.
I was just a a Gyu Kaku for my birthday at the end of March! It was awesome!
If filet mignon bad, there is definitely something wrong
It’s not their focus, also he cooked it poorly lol, we’re you watching? Everything was so uneven and overcooked I couldnt help but cringe, help his utensils and grill! He literally said he had it on its highest setting!
He said it was lean and tender.
Oh man. I used to love Gyu Kaku but the ones in Southern California stopped offering AYCE years ago so I stopped going, the a la carte doesn't seem as worth it. I gotta see if there's some locations offering it again, I miss this place so much.
Mike next time you're in Vegas, check out 888 Japanese BBQ!
The one in san diego is still ayce, I think it just depends on where you go
@@lifesabeach5405 thought his wife is Chinese
@@lifesabeach5405 Mike liked K-dramas and K-pop before he met his wife. He also visited S. Korea many times before the wife.
When my grill is low, I usually turn it up a few notchws
