" After hearing so much about Gaja, I finally made the trip, and I must say it has become my new favorite spot! The quality of the beef was remarkable, and the variety of sauces and sides made it an unparalleled experience. Watching the robot deliver our food added a modern twist to the traditional concept of Korean BBQ. I especially loved the dumplings and kimchi—they were flavorful and fresh. Overall, I’d rate this place as a must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed my visit to Gaja, I have to say, it wasn't quite what I expected in terms of authenticity. The flavors were good, but there were moments where the dishes felt a bit Americanized, which I didn't love. The service was excellent, and the robots were cute, but I left feeling like it wasn't the fully authentic experience I hoped for. Still, it's a fun place to go with friends for a casual night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" One of the best dining experiences I’ve had! The food was flavorful, especially the marinated meats; really showcased the authentic Korean cuisine. On top of that, our server was attentive and the ambiance made us want to stay for hours. The robots that delivered our food definitely enhanced the overall enjoyment. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to feast! " (*Curated Review*)

" Gaja Korean BBQ set a new standard for dining out! The flavors were amazing, and it was fun grilling our selections at the table. The meat quality was outstanding—the beef melted in my mouth. The robots were cool, and the waitstaff was friendly and attentive. If you're in the area, make sure to stop by! " (*Curated Review*)

" A unique dining spot! The robotic servers are quite the spectacle, especially for kids. The food was well seasoned, but the portion sizes were somewhat smaller than expected. The staff was friendly. The vibe was very casual; I could see this being a good go-to place for friends looking for a fun evening out. Looking forward to visiting again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining at Gaja, but I must admit I left a bit underwhelmed. The concept is fantastic and I appreciated the use of robots for service, but the taste didn't quite match up with my expectations of authentic Korean barbecue. The side dishes were limited compared to other places I've gone to, and I did feel like I could have received better service considering how busy it was. I’d say it’s good for a fun night out but not the most traditional experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Gaja’s robotic service added a fun flair to our dining! While I appreciated the overall experience, I felt the food was slightly greasy; perhaps that's a characteristic of Korean BBQ. Staff were friendly, and the atmosphere buzzing, but the price can add up if you're not careful with portion control. Still, a worthwhile adventure for BBQ lovers! " (*Curated Review*)
