" My first visit to Gaboja was mostly enjoyable! The staff were incredibly nice, and the place had a charming feel. I particularly liked their spicy pork, which had the right amount of kick! However, the wait for seating was longer than expected, and the meal could’ve been more well-rounded. I'll consider revisiting for another go at the BBQ! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews about Gaboja, I was excited to try it. The meal started well, with delicious banchan and great service, but I was a bit disappointed with the meat quality. Some of the cuts felt tough. Still, the ambiance was cozy, and the staff were incredibly hospitable. Kind of a mixed experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" Gaboja was a cozy spot to enjoy Korean BBQ, and I loved the heartiness of their dishes. The meat was well-seasoned, but I found some cuts a bit fatty for my taste. Overall, the service was excellent; the staff checked on us frequently, enhancing the experience. I'll definitely consider coming back for future gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot say enough good things about Gaboja! The friendly service paired with the fantastic food made for a great night out. The spicy pork and kimchi pancakes were standout dishes that spoke to authentic Korean flavors. A friend who dined there with me enjoyed their cold noodles, which were delicious too. Definitely a place to bring friends and family! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've visited Gaboja several times and it has never disappointed! The Korean BBQ feels authentic, reminding me of the home-cooked meals I had growing up. The banchan is delightful, and the pork belly is simply the best. Although the service can be a bit slow when busy, the staff is always friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for genuine Korean cuisine in a relaxed setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Gaboja based on a friend's recommendation and it was an enjoyable experience. The setup is cozy and the food has that true Korean vibe. I particularly enjoyed the spicy pork; it was packed with flavor and not overly sweet like some places. One downside was that our waiter seemed a bit rushed during dinner service. Otherwise, I would definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking forward to trying Gaboja as I've read good reviews. The most memorable for me was the service; the staff really made us feel at home. However, I found the meat to be somewhat inconsistent. Some pieces were flavourful, while others lacked seasoning. I might give it another chance but with lowered expectations. " (*Curated Review*)
