" The experience was nothing short of comforting much like a meal prepared by my own grandmother. The staff treated me like family and made sure I had everything I needed. The food was filled with love starting from the seafood pancake down to the banchan. While I think the side dishes could have been a touch more varied, the quality was excellent overall. It’s hard not to fall in love with this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time eating at a Korean restaurant and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. Every dish was bursting with flavor. The dumplings were soft and scrumptious, while the kimchi added a delightful kick. The only downside was the wait for our food, which was longer than expected. Nevertheless, it was worth it! If you’re looking to try authentic Korean cuisine, this is a great spot to consider. " (*Curated Review*)

" I didn't find the food to be as appealing as others claimed. The flavor lacked depth in the soups we tried, and the seafood pancake, while thick, didn’t wow us. The service was adequate, but I expect more when dining out. The atmosphere was nice, but food is the priority. Overall, it was just okay for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" I always seek authentic experiences when trying new restaurants. Gom Ba Woo gave me exactly that! The cute setting matched perfectly with the heartfelt food. The staff were a delight to converse with. Although a couple of dishes were a bit salty, overall, I left happy and satisfied. It's nice to find a place that feels like home! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved it! Gom Ba Woo exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we sat down, the servers treated us like family. The dumplings were fresh and full of flavor, and I could taste the authenticity in every bite. My main dish, Sundubu, was flavorful and comforting, just like Korean comfort food should be. I will definitely come back soon and bring my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came across Gom Ba Woo by chance, and I’m glad I did. The moment I stepped inside, I felt welcomed. The ambiance is homely, and the ladies running the place are so friendly. I had the Mr. Lee’s seafood pancake and it stole my heart! Perfectly crispy, with a generous amount of seafood. The only downside was that there were too few banchan options, but the quality makes up for it. A hidden gem worth visiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! The vibe at Gom Ba Woo is so authentic; it makes you feel like you’re in Korea. The seafood pancake was truly a highlight for me. It was thick, generously stuffed, and crispy on the outside. The staff were attentive, and even though the language barrier was present, they were eager to ensure I had a great experience. It’s a must-visit for anyone craving homestyle Korean dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
