" I was really looking forward to eating at Bobijoa, but I sadly found the food to be overpriced for what you get. The bulgogi bap was under-seasoned and lacked that authentic zing I anticipated. Yet, the ambiance was pleasant and the staff warm and welcoming. In a city full of options, I'd hesitate before choosing this place again, but I can see the appeal for some. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Bobijoa, I feel like I’m transported back to Korea. The flavors are authentic and made with love. Trying the hotteok was an absolute highlight for me! The sweet and nutty filling was a delight. The service was quick and the workers were friendly. However, I’d encourage the kitchen to work on the speed of service during busy times. Overall, a satisfying experience that leaves me looking forward to my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who loves Korean cuisine, I’m incredibly picky about where I eat. Luckily, Bobijoa didn’t disappoint! Their sundubu jjigae was rich and comforting, and the side dishes were absolutely on point. It’s a small place but has a welcoming vibe. I’d recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy home-style Korean food. Service was friendly, and the pricing is great considering the quality of the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was pleasantly surprised by my visit to Bobijoa. The dolsot bibimbap I ordered came out sizzling and was delicious! However, the wait for my food took a bit longer than expected. The ambiance is family-friendly and filled with a cozy charm. This is a more casual take on Korean food, which I enjoyed, although I wished for more traditional options. Overall, I left satisfied and satisfied my cravings. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Bobijoa with high expectations after several friends raved about it, and I’m happy to say it lived up to the hype! Their jjampong was absolutely delicious, cooked perfectly, and the portion sizes were great for sharing. The ambiance adds to the experience—laid-back yet lively. I definitely want to return to sample more dishes from their expansive menu—everything looks tempting! " (*Curated Review*)

" I found Bobijoa quite average. The bibimbap lacked the vibrant flavor I was looking for, and the KFC was far from crispy as I had hoped. I visited during lunchtime, and while the atmosphere was nice, I expected faster service. I might give it another shot, as it’s a cozy space, but the menu didn’t wow me. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bobijoa was a fantastic find in Pilsen! I loved the cozy setup and the friendly staff. The soondubu was perfect, with incredible depth of flavor. I also tried the kimchi fries, which were a perfect blend of crispy and savory. My group ordered different items and collectively agreed that we would come back for more. It's a casual place that's great for a quick meal or a sit-down dinner without breaking the bank. " (*Curated Review*)
