" Had a fantastic lunch at Kobawoo! The bossam was incredibly tender, and their sides are superb. I appreciate that they offer a variety of options for banchan. My only issue would be that service was not as attentive as I would have liked, which occasionally left us waiting for drinks or refills. Still, the food is well worth it, and I would definitely come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" A wonderful Korean restaurant! Kobawoo House specializes in dishes like bossam that embody authentic flavors. I had a great time during my visit, although the kitchen seemed a bit slow in serving on a fully occupied night. The attention to detail in the food preparation was evident, and the portions were generous. I will definitely spread the word about this hidden gem in Koreatown! " (*Curated Review*)

" Discovered Kobawoo House through word of mouth and it exceeded all my expectations! Their bossam was spectacular, and I loved the rich flavors of the jangban guksoo. Ambiance felt authentically Korean which added to the overall dining experience. However, the servers did seem a little overwhelmed, and my drink order took a while to arrive. But the quality of food will definitely bring me back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at Kobawoo House! Their bossam was the star of the meal, super rich in flavor and very tender. The banchan were delightful, especially the kimchi! Plus, the portions were generous, making it easy to share. My only critique would be the speed of service; it felt a bit disorganized at times. Despite that, the experience was wonderful overall. I plan on coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Kobawoo House and was pleasantly surprised by how authentic the dishes were! The atmosphere was lively, packed with both locals and tourists enjoying their meals. I recommended the jangban guksu and bossam to a friend, and we were not disappointed. Both dishes were generously portioned and flavorful. Just beware that during busy hours, you might have to flag down your server for extra refills. Overall, it was a delightful experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, the bossam at Kobawoo is unparalleled. It's tender and succulent, making it one of my favorite dishes! I took a friend who had never had Korean food before, and they were blown away. The vibrant atmosphere adds to the experience, although the wait times can be challenging. The servers were all polite, but keep in mind that they can be less attentive during crowded moments. " (*Curated Review*)

" Kobawoo House delivered an outstanding meal! The bossam is authentic and delightful. The dish was well balanced with delicious banchan that complemented it perfectly. I must note that our service was a bit on the slower side, likely because it was a busy evening. Still, the staff was pleasant, and the food quality made the wait worthwhile. Can't wait to return for more! " (*Curated Review*)
