" What a gem this place is! The menu is packed with authentic Korean dishes, and the flavors took me back to my travels in Korea. I had a great experience with the staff; they were friendly and provided helpful explanations of the menu. The ambiance was casual, which suited the fast-casual vibe. Portions were huge, and the quality far exceeded my expectations. I’ll be back again for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve got to say, I was impressed by KOBA! The concept of building your own bowl is so fun, and I was thrilled to see so many authentic ingredients. I went with a mix of rice, veggies, and beef, and it was delicious. Super filling too! The staff were really nice, explaining the options and making sure I was satisfied. Can't wait to go back and try something new on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has become my weekly go-to! The Koba bowls are always filled with the freshest ingredients and generous portions. I always request extra kimchi, which they happily provide. The service is consistently upbeat and friendly, putting me in a great mood for lunch. Highly recommend for anyone in the area looking for authentic Korean flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not quite what I expected. The ssambap set looked great, but the flavors just didn't come together. I've had better at other spots in the city. The service was warm and accommodating, which was a redeeming factor. I appreciate that they try to maintain authentic elements, but my dish felt lackluster. It’s worth a try if you're nearby, but I might not make a special trip. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who's lived in Korea, I can say KOBA nails the authentic tastes! The side dishes were fresh, and the food was flavorful. I had the beef bulgogi, and it was phenomenal! My only critique is the ordering process could be a bit smoother, but overall, I had a great time dining here and will come back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was pleasantly surprised by KOBA! The kimchi here is some of the best I've had outside of Korea. I loved that I could customize my meal; it made it feel more personal. The portions were generous, which I appreciated. I also liked the casual vibe of the restaurant. A lovely experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot recommend KOBA enough! The authentic flavors reminded me of meals I had back in Seoul. I personally loved the customizable bowls; I mixed in tons of veggies, spicy sauce, and grilled chicken. It was a filling meal that more than satisfied my cravings! The staff was very helpful with recommendations too. Definitely the best Korean food in the FiDi area! " (*Curated Review*)
