" I had a surprisingly pleasant dinner at The Famous Owl of Minerva last week. The highlight was definitely the kalbi; it was marinated excellently and came sizzling to the table. However, I did find the portion sizes slightly smaller than I remembered from my last visit, which was disappointing. The servers were quick, but I did notice a slight delay during the peak dinner rush. Nevertheless, I left satisfied and would still recommend it for its authentic flavors and warm atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been thinking about Owl of Minerva since I first tried their food a few years back. On my latest visit, everything came out hot and flavorful as I remembered. I particularly enjoyed their kimchi fried rice, which had just the right amount of spice. The side dishes keep coming, and they’re just as delicious! The staff are quick and nice, making the dinner even better. I’ve made it a point to visit at least once a month. Highly recommend this spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)

" 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*)

" 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*)

" 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.
