" I had high hopes for Matjoa, but the experience was less than stellar. The food was okay, but lacked the rich depth of flavor I typically enjoy from Korean cuisine. The service was decent, but the wait time was long. The atmosphere was pleasant enough, but I left feeling a bit underwhelmed. I might give it another shot, hoping it could be a better experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my second visit to Matjoa, and I cannot stress how delicious their food is! The spicy pork is incredible—definitely for those who can handle some heat! Plus, the staff were quick to assist us with our grill and made suggestions that complemented our meal perfectly. Although it can get quite busy, the atmosphere adds to the experience. My only suggestion would be to have larger portions for the banchan, as we enjoyed them so much. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Matjoa has quickly become my favorite spot for Korean food. The variety of their BBQ options is impressive, and the quality of the meat is outstanding. The kimchi is the real deal, spicy and zesty, just how I like it. The atmosphere is buzzing with energy, especially during dinner hours. We never felt rushed, and the staff was helpful in suggesting dishes. I'd give it a solid five stars without a doubt. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Matjoa excited to try the BBQ and was quite pleased! The atmosphere was great, with a nice buzz from other diners. I ordered a spicy chicken and found it to be just right in terms of heat. The banchan and side dishes were delicious and disappeared quickly. The service staff was attentive and friendly, adding to the positive experience. I’ll definitely be returning for another meal here soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had dinner here with my family and wow, what a great experience! Matjoa is definitely on the authentic side of Korean food. We ordered a combine table BBQ and the variety was incredible. The side dishes complemented each dish really well. My kids loved the corn cheese and the bibimbap. The servers were attentive but not overbearing, a perfect balance. We ended up leaving with full bellies and big smiles. I can’t recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I frequent Matjoa, and it never disappoints! We love their BBQ, particularly the marinated ribs, which are absolutely tender and flavorful. We've also enjoyed the bibimbap and mandu. It's wonderful to see a place that stays true to authentic Korean cuisine. The only thing to note is that it can get a bit crowded, especially on weekends, so I recommend making a reservation to avoid a long wait. Great place for families or gatherings! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here thinking it would just be another Korean place, but I was completely blown away! The authenticity really shines through in their dishes. The kimchi brings a nostalgia trip from my visits to Korea. I have to call out the banchan – the variety was fantastic, and they kept bringing us refills! Everything from the grilled meats to the sides tasted fresh and homemade. It’s evident that a lot of effort goes into each dish here. It's hands down the best Korean place in the area. I will definitely be back with friends to share this experience! " (*Curated Review*)
