" I was quite hesitant about visiting here after reading some mixed reviews, but I decided to give it a shot. I ordered the Tteokbokki and was pleasantly surprised by the authentic taste. However, I noticed the portions were on the smaller side compared to what I was expecting from a Korean restaurant. The staff were polite but not overly interactive, which was fine with me. Overall, a decent experience, but I hope they can work on their portion sizes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited the place after hearing good things and was not impressed. The service felt distracted, and the food didn't have the authentic flavor I was hoping for. I tried the sweet and spicy chicken and was underwhelmed. The dish looked great but had little taste. The ambiance was decent, but I feel they could do better with cleanliness as well. Overall, I don’t think I’ll rush back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Really satisfied with my experience at The Famous Owl of Minerva! Each dish was delightful, especially the seafood tofu soup that packed a ton of flavor. Service was incredibly attentive throughout the meal, and I love the endless supply of banchan! The only downside was that there was a slightly long wait to get seated during peak hours. I’ll definitely come back, as the food is worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited last week for lunch and was amazed by how quickly the food arrived! It was fresh and hot, which was just what we needed on a cold day. I had the kimchi stew, which surpassed my expectations. The staff were very accommodating and friendly, helping with questions about the menu. The atmosphere is welcoming, making it a great place for a simple lunch or dinner. Highly recommend it when you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" An interesting experience! I was looking forward to a satisfying meal, but my expectations fell short. I ordered the pork bone soup, which I remembered being fantastic. Unfortunately, it wasn’t as flavorful this time. The staff was really polite but seemed rushed. The atmosphere didn’t feel as inviting as before. I think I might try again but will keep my expectations checked next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" (*Curated Review*)

" This is my go-to place for Korean food! I’ve been coming here for years, and it never disappoints. The kalbi is always cooked to perfection, and the side dishes complement the meal nicely. The staff here are very accommodating and friendly, ensuring you have a great time while dining. I look forward to each visit and highly recommend it to anyone craving delicious Korean cuisine.
