I do wish they had more than one soon tofu (beef) option. I also wasn't sure about the steaming hot tea in a plastic pitcher, hmmm. That being said, I definitely want to return & try their grilled fish (they have mackerel, atka mackerel, rockfish & croaker). I'm a sucker for grilled fish. I also noticed they have steamed duck??! Which I think my hubby might try next. Stay tuned... :)

It's about time I finally review this place…read more What started as a nonchalant "yea...this place is solid" turned into a spot my wife and I frequent at least once a week when we feel like eating out without breaking the bank or the diet. The tofu soup nice on warm and cold days, and the bibimbap is my favorite. Altogether, to the food with the quiet atmosphere definitely makes for a place to have calm get together or to decompress after a long day. As for why it's a 4 stars, it's the service. When this place is empty, the service is amazing. However, when it is crowded, the service leaves for more to be desired. Gaya operates on a skeleton staff. While it has great service for mild to moderate amount of customers, it struggles beyond that. Regardless, this place is solid and we always come back and tip the service. The food and atmosphere compensates for the busy hours.

I have eaten here a few times. The food court has been reconfigured a few times, getting smaller…read moreand smaller. There are fewer and fewer food stall offerings. This place has lasted. Probably because it's Korean, in a Korean supermarket, where the competitors that folded shop were not always. Other stands also had a freshness issue - not much turnover as most visitors want Korean. Each time I shop at HMart, I see big soup bowls from Hansol. And I think, as a giant soup lover, I need to get me some. It always looks so good. Unfortunately, it does not taste as good as it looks. For example, the 2 rib special looks fantastic but the meat is tough to eat. The noodles are flat, need some flare. The rice bowls lack flavor. I see all these glowing reviews and know I'm swimming against the tide. Probably sacrilege for me to say that the Hmart prepared food tastes better than this restaurant... but I find this to be the case. The prices - not great. You pay for the convenience of being in a market. Counterintuitive as the ambience is what what you'd expect to pay for.

The good: My 106 year old grandma wanted some Korean food so…read moreI ordered from here. I got kim chi fried rice, beef bulgogi, and chicken katsu all for delivery. The panko crumbs on the chicken was nice and light. It was perfectly fried and not too hard/over crispy. The meat was also juicy. My toddler ate 3 large pieces of it and kept complimenting how tasty it was. The kim chi fried rice had a great fried egg in it and had great flavor. Even the side of rice was delicious! It was moist and sticky without being overcooked. The bad: I didn't get to experience the food court dining in the grocery store. The interesting: The dishes came with a side salad with orange dressing, pickled yellow radish, and some citrus wedges. The dishes came with 3 pickled side dishes (including kim chi). and a soup.

We got the seollongtang and the pork gukbap. Both were hearty and delicious. The pork belly in the gukbap was SO tender the fat dissolves in your mouth. The bachan selection was standard, but their kimchi really stood out. It's much more flavorful than your standard restaurant or grocery store kimchi (not watery or one dimensional tasting). The inside is modest and cozy. Not tiny but not quite comfortable enough for large groups. Service was warm and welcoming. If I'm in the area again, I would definitely come back again. We were also pleased to learn that you can purchase a big container of their kimchi! The staff filled up a 32oz container of kimchi for us to take home, which was $8.

We were used to seeing sauce and salad bars, but this restaurant also has appetizers, fruits, and marinated meats available too. Prices are fair, especially for everything that they offer.

We also got a kimchi stew which the owner himself recommended to help cut out the grease. The vibes in the restaraunt are very low, lights low and not super loud music. Sometimes I get super overwhelmed at bbq places because of how loud everything is, but not here. The owner came and cooked everything for us and even gave us the history behind why they do what they do. You can tell the couple that owns this place is very prideful if their meat quality.
