" This place is a favorite among my friends. The kimchi fried rice keeps bringing me back, plus the generous portions! The staff is usually friendly, though sometimes they can be overwhelmed during peak hours. But that won't stop me from enjoying all the delicious offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic meal at The Famous Owl of Minerva! The kimchi fried rice was a hit, and so was the BBQ pork. The only downside was the noise level when it got busy; it felt a bit crowded and hectic at times. Overall, I think this is a great spot for casual dining with delicious food options! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pretty average experience at The Famous Owl of Minerva. While the food was decent, it didn't quite wow me. The service felt rushed and leaves much to be desired. The atmosphere was nothing special - just a regular dining experience. Maybe I'd give it another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried this restaurant out on a weekday night and it was surprisingly busy! The food was exceptionally good; I especially enjoyed the marinated beef. The restaurant vibe can be a little too energetic for my taste, but it’s a fun spot to grab dinner with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here with my family as it was highly recommended by friends. We enjoyed the pork bone soup and all the side dishes. It genuinely tasted authentic, bringing back so many memories. The only issue was the seating which felt a bit cramped for our family of four. But overall, a pleasant dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

Archived Reviews (297)

" This place has potential but falls short in execution, particularly in service. While the food was flavorful and reasonably priced, there were several hiccups with side dishes and drink refills. I'd recommend going during off-peak hours for a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is known for its authentic Korean cuisine, and it definitely lives up to that reputation! I was thoroughly impressed by the variety of side dishes and how delicious they all were. The pork bone soup is, without a doubt, a must-try! The staff was welcoming, although they could be a lot quicker during rush hours. Will come back soon! " (*Curated Review*)
