A small fire inside Gyu-Kaku on Cooper Square Thursday evening has temporarily ko'd the restaurant.
The official FDNY Twitter feed puts the fire at just before 8 p.m. The FDNY had the fire under control in 20-plus minutes...

No word on where the fire started. The Citizen app mentioned the fire started on a table. (That information has not been verified.)
Gyu-Kaku is a chain of Japanese yakiniku restaurants specializing in barbecue that diners can prepare at their tables. As the sign on the door notes, their Midtown locations are open.
Maybe it's not a good idea to have customers cook their own bbq at the table?
