" This restaurant holds a special place in my heart! Every visit feels nostalgic with the familiar smells wafting in the air and the friendly faces greeting you. The seafood pancake might just be the best in Virginia; it’s thick and flavorful. The only drawback was the cramped seating, but it adds to the cozy charm. If you haven't tried it yet, you are missing out on a gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" Eating at Gom Ba Woo was like stepping into another world—a world of flavor! Enjoyed every single bite of the food, and the hospitality was exceptional! The kalbi soup was comforting, an instant favorite for sure. Can’t wait to enjoy it again—we're already planning our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Gom Ba Woo is like dining in your grandmother's kitchen. The warmth and love from the staff are truly heartwarming. The Kalbi Tang was just divine! Full of flavor, with tender meat and a comforting broth. I also loved the banchan, which were fresh and made with care. Just make sure to bring your appetite; the portions are generous! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Korean comfort food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was worried about finding authentic Korean food in the area, but Gom Ba Woo delivered! The food was rich and flavorful, exactly what I hoped for. The seafood pancake was notably delicious! I also appreciated the attentive service, even though it was quite busy during our visit. This is definitely on my list for future dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Gom Ba Woo and had a delightful experience! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, reminiscent of a typical Korean home environment. We ordered the Galbi Tang—a must-try! The beef was tender and flavorful, swimming in a rich broth that reminded me of my grandmother's cooking. The only critique would be the wait for our second round of drinks, but the kind lady serving us was very busy. Overall, a wonderful experience. Can’t wait to go back for their infamous seafood pancake! " (*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*)
