" Absolutely love this place! Gaya Korean Tofu & Grill became my go-to for Korean comfort food. The galbi and tofu stew are standouts on their menu. Each time I walk in, the owner greets me warmly, which adds a personal touch to the dining experience. The side dishes are consistently fresh and delicious, and I appreciate how they change up the flavors occasionally. It's a cozy spot and perfect for a family dinner or a catch-up with friends. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Gaya left us wanting more! We ordered several dishes to share, including the bibimbap, spicy chicken, and the famous tofu soup. Each dish was well-prepared and flavorful, showcasing authentic Korean recipes. The sides kept us entertained until our mains arrived! Although it was busy, the wait time was minimal, and the service was quite good. We will undoubtedly be back for another delightful meal soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Recently visited Gaya Korean Tofu & Grill and was quite impressed by the overall experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the staff. We ordered the tofu soup and it was delightful—rich and flavorful with a good amount of tofu. The side dishes were fresh and complemented our meals perfectly. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just an okay experience at Gaya. I came with high expectations, but the food fell a little flat for me. While it was decent, it lacked the depth I was hoping for in terms of flavor. The galbi was nice but not the best I've had in town. The service staff, although friendly, seemed overwhelmed during rush hour. Hopefully, I might get a better dish on my next visit, but for now, it’s just average. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Gaya after a friend recommended it, and I’m so glad I did! The ambiance is charming, and the food speaks for itself. The bibimbap was bursting with flavors, and the kimchi was among the best I've tried! The staff were efficient, even while attending to a full house. The only downside was the wait for a table, but once seated, it was smooth sailing for my dining experience. I look forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Gaya was somewhat mixed. While the staff were friendly and the atmosphere nice, the food didn’t measure up to my expectations. The tofu soup was watery compared to others I've had, lacking the flavor punch I was after. The side dishes were decent, but they could certainly elevate them. Overall, it was an okay experience, but I wouldn't rush back unless I hear significant improvements. " (*Curated Review*)

" Gaya is a gem of a restaurant that truly brings the essence of Korean cuisine to Torrance! I’m a regular here, and it’s always my go-to spot for comfort food. Their kimchi jjigae and galbi are simply unbeatable! The flavors are authentic and just like my grandmother used to make. The side dishes vary each time I come, but they’re always fresh and delicious. My experience has always been positive, and the owner is genuinely kind-hearted. I love supporting local businesses like this one. " (*Curated Review*)
