" MinGa Korean Restaurant is definitely worth a visit. I had the spicy pork BBQ which was succulent and bursting with flavor. The side dishes, or banchan, added the perfect touch to the meal. I also appreciated the artistic presentation of each dish. The only drawback was the wait time, which can get long on weekends. Still, the food was worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dinner at MinGa was a hit! I loved the bulgogi as it was super tender and packed with flavor. Our server was very friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant looks stunning inside, very tidy and with a nice ambiance. I would visit again for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I took a chance on MinGa after hearing rave reviews and now I understand why! Their kimchi stew was phenomenal! Spice levels were perfect, and the side dishes were refreshing. The overall vibe of the place felt comfortable and inviting. Helpful staff and a beautifully curated menu make this a must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Took my parents to MinGa after they visited, and they were fans! They loved the authentic Korean fried chicken and the spicy tofu stew. My dad, who used to live in Korea, praised their efforts to stay true to tradition. The restaurant was busy but the service was surprisingly quick. A nice place to enjoy Korean food together. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful dining experience! My husband and I shared a sample of dishes, including dumplings and spicy chicken wings, and were pleased with every bite. The authenticity shown through each dish was evident! Even the mild kimchi had a kick that left us wanting more. We also loved how attentive the staff was; they didn't miss a beat. Five stars from us! " (*Curated Review*)

" Regrettably, my experience did not match the glowing reviews. The food was alright, but not worth the price. I had expected more on the flavor front, especially from a place that prides itself on authenticity. The servers were polite but inattentive at times. It didn’t hit the spot for me compared to past Korean dining experiences. " (*Curated Review*)

" The best thing about MinGa is the authentic taste in every bite! I could feel the love and tradition in their meals. The dumplings were particularly delightful, and the kimchi is to die for! I will say the environment was a little chaotic due to the crowd but the staff handled it pretty well. I will keep going back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
