" I visited Gamja Bawi on a busy Saturday, and despite the long wait, the deliciousness of the food made it worth it! The dolsot bibimbap came sizzling in a hot stone bowl, and the crispy rice at the bottom was a real treat. I highly recommend it for anyone craving authentic Korean cuisine. The only downside was the slightly rude staff, which I hope is just temporary pressure from the rush. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lunch here a few days ago and the bulgogi was amazing! Just the right amount of seasoning, and the meat was tender. The staff were friendly and went the extra mile to help me choose my meal. It's a bit pricier compared to other food court options, but the quality justifies it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I simply love the dolsot bibimbap here! The portion is enough to share, and the flavors are perfect. It’s like a warm hug on a plate. The service can be hit or miss; sometimes they are extremely friendly, while other times it feels like they are overwhelmed and ignore you. Regardless, the food is the star of the show and is always fresh and hot. " (*Curated Review*)

" My meal at Gamja Bawi was top-notch! The stone pot bibimbap was incredibly satisfying with its beautiful presentation and rich flavors. The staff were polite, but I felt a bit rushed since we dined during lunch hours and the place was packed. Overall, a wonderful experience, and I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I loved the variety of dishes available. The fried rice was delicious and could easily feed two! The environment is busy but adds to the food court's charm. I will be back again for sure, especially for the bibimbap! Just wish the service was a bit more attentive. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a terrible experience at Gamja Bawi. While the food was decent, the service was downright rude. I asked a question about the menu, and the woman at the counter rolled her eyes at me. The food took forever to arrive, and when it did, it was lukewarm. To add insult to injury, I was charged extra for a to-go container, which I thought was ridiculous. I left feeling undervalued as a customer. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been coming to this restaurant for years, and it never disappoints! The flavors are always spot-on, and I just love the ambiance of the food court. The staff has typically been nice but can become a bit stressed during rush hours. I will keep coming back as long as they maintain their quality food! " (*Curated Review*)
