" This restaurant surprised me with its authentic taste! The BBQ meats were flavorful and well-prepared. I loved their bulgogi and the corn cheese was delightful as well. The wait staff was friendly, and they genuinely seemed to care about our dining experience. A little surprised by the ambiance though, it could be improved to match the high-quality food. Overall, I had a great time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a pleasant dinner at Gaboja! The quality of the meat was good, and the staff made it a warm and welcoming environment. The kimchi fried rice was delicious!

" I was blown away by Gaboja's quality! The BBQ was amazing. The spicy pork was a particular highlight, truly authentic flavors. The only issue was the parking, which was quite sparse at peak times. But the friendly staff and delicious food made me overlook that minor inconvenience. I’ll absolutely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to Gaboja several times now, and I appreciate the consistent quality of their dishes. From the spicy pork to the crispy pancakes, everything is flavorful. The atmosphere is nice and cozy, perfect for family gatherings. However, certain meats could use a bit more marination for flavor. Will return for sure! " (*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*)
