" I've got mixed feelings about this place. While the food is generally good, I've faced issues with the service on multiple occasions. My last visit was marred by an employee who wasn't accommodating at all. The food quality is good enough for me to consider returning, but I'm cautious. " (*Curated Review*)

" The staff here could definitely use more training in customer service. While the bibimbap was good, the overall service was lacking. It felt as if I was an inconvenience rather than a valued customer. I won't be returning unless I hear of improvements. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want authentic and delicious Korean food fast, this is the place to be! The selection is vast, and everything I tried has been fantastic. The waitstaff could be a bit faster, but overall, I'm very satisfied with my experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner here recently, and the food was good but not as spicy as I expected. The staff were friendly, but the wait for food was longer than anticipated. Still, I appreciated the generous portion sizes and overall value for the price. I would return to try more items on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" A gem in the food court! My friend recommended their kimchi stew, and it was packed with flavor and just the right amount of spice. Portions were great for the price too. My only complaint is that it can get pretty crowded, and the service seems to slow down during peak hours. Still, I would definitely return for the food alone. " (*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*)
