    Daeji tofujigae
    Tiffany L.

    I love this place, its a bit more on the pricey end but the quality and authenticity you cannot find anywhere else nearby. The restaurant setting is cozy and the charcoal grills are in the back, you barely smell any smoke inside at all! Kudos to their ventilation system! I usually sit in the regular seating and i always order the daeji tofujigae, comes out perfect everytime! Their appetizers like the seafood pancake and the gool jun are amazing and worth a try as well. Love this place and its one of my favs in south florida!

    LEGIT! I am Korean. And this place is legit. Anyone resides in South Florida who wants yummy Korean food this is the place to go. Service was also great! A lot of Korean restaurants have one servicer hustles. But this place had more than dozen services were attentive and provided great service. And I loved their Korean traditional interior decoration mixed with modern touch. I LOVE their Yukejang (Spicy Beef Soup). Fernbrake(young ferns) = Gosari has to be in it to win it! Many places omit this ingredient, and that is not the same... Love their Yukejang!!! I highly recommend this Korean restaurant.

    Worth the drive! After having experienced an incredible Korean barbecue on a Virgin Atlantic ship, I had high expectations. Gobose did not disappoint. We ordered bulogi, shrimp, chicken, and omg! The flavors, how fresh all the sides were. The cucumber kimchi, scallions egg, homemade miso paste. Oof I would go back in a heartbeat! Staff was super friendly and helpful to know what to order and the experience of grilling and eating so fun. You feel like you are not in Miami, super laid back and comfortable place. Prices are very reasonable

    Wow the food is amazing! Drove an hour and change from Miami with family - actually it was highly recommended by my cousins' Korean boyfriend - who was the birthday boy for our feast. The spicy pork bulgogi and chicken bulgogi were a surprise hit! Everything was delicious and you can order as many kimchi sides as you want. Service was warm and fast. The place is easy to find and had plenty of parking when we arrived around 5pm. Looking forward to our next roadtrip up!

    Spicy Pork Belly
    Kayla A.

    This place is quaint with consistently great service. The real standout here is the spicy pork belly. It's phenomenal and honestly the main reason I keep coming back. Everything else I've tried has been just okay. One thing to note: the staff is very particular about where you sit. Even when the restaurant is nearly empty, we've asked to move to a more private table (as opposed to sitting directly beside other guests) and have been declined every time. It's a small thing, but it does affect the overall experience a bit. The spicy pork belly is worth the visit! However, if you're looking for the best KBBQ in South Florida, I would recommend heading elsewhere.

    I hate leaving a bad update review :( but Gabose has completely changed since the last time I was here. The food lacks depth and doesn't taste fresh. The soups tasted like the broths were from yesterday's broth and the side dishes tasted stale. The prices have also jumped by quite a bit since I last ate here. The only thing redeeming this place is the service. The waiters are always kind and are very accommodating. Overall not the best experience but would consider going again due to the kind service.

    Gabose is my favorite KBBQ I've ever had in my life. I love Korean culture in general and especially the FOOD. Everytime I come here I get their Galbitang which is absolutely delicious!! Their meat is always fresh and juicy. I love the aesthetic vibes and music they play here. Service is okay, one time they had a rule about ordering 2 meats which kinda pissed me off but food is still amazing. Place is usually pretty clean and staff are friendly enough. Definitely my go to spot for KBBQ.

    We were celebrating our older son's birthday and my wife had the idea if taking him to Gabose Korean BBQ. We arrived around 7 PM on a Saturday and the had a 1 hour wait time for the BBQ. They were very friendly and gave us a few options, including waiting on their other business across the street, Gabose Pocha (bar). We decided to go for the BBQ and grab a couple drinks across the street. After about an hour we were texted that our table was ready. It's a very popular place the ambiance is buzzing with the noice of the other tables. It's feels a bit like a large family reunion. The servers were wearing masks. Our server answered our questions and gave us plenty of time to make up our mind. We started with a serving of Goon Mandu ($16). We ended up getting 3 BBQ ($38-39 each). Yangyum Galbisal (marinated beef), Shrimp Gui (Shrimps) and Darji Jumul Luk (Spicy Pork). They came with an assortment of small dishes and white rice. We ordered 3 Soju of different flavors ($18 each). My wife ordered Age Tofu ($9) and Jekuk Kimchee Bokum ($28). We ordered an extra serving of rice ($3) and a coke ($3). It came to about $60 per person. Service was good and everything was brought to our table efficiently. As soon as a dish was empty someone would pick it up. Food was good, and it is an interesting experience. I spent quite a bit of my time grilling the meats for my family. The soju wine was very good. Next time, I will just have the premade food, so I can enjoy the meal rather than cook it, and save the 1 hour wait time.

    My husband and I have two adult children who were adopted from Korea, and we all have visited the country. For years, Gabose (pronounced GA-BO-SEH) has been the go-to place for our family to indulge in Korean food. I just realized that I never did a review. So, here it is. The place is smallish, seating maybe about 50. It doesn't take reservations, so it is first-come, first-served. Going for dinner after 7 (particularly on a weekend) usually means you will wait for a table. You can grill your own BBQ at the table, or not. I prefer not to cook---that's why I go out to eat. :-). During our recent visit we fed 6 people. We took our pastor, his wife, and their daughter out to have their first Korean meal with us (hubby, daughter, and me). We ordered the Korean scallion pancake (which was perfect and came sliced into 6), two orders of Jap Chae, two orders of chicken Bibimbap, two orders of Bulgogi, and one order of Galbi (BBQ ribs with bone, cooked in the kitchen). Our food arrived before the traditional side dishes that are usually served with the meal. (They are complimentary and refillable.) Missing among them was my sliced fish cakes, a favorite. There were three kinds of Kimchi (cabbage, string beans, and zucchini); a spicy, horseradish-tasting pickled cabbage; and sliced white, marinated radishes. (I could eat bowls full of the radishes.) There also were at least two kinds of spicy paste to add to any of your entrees. The Galbi was a favorite at the table, though I found it a tad salty. (I must admit, I am not a huge fan of red meat). The Bulgogi was moist and had the perfect flavor. The Jap Chae noodles were just right. But my favorite of the meal (besides the sliced, white radishes) was the chicken Bibimbap. I adore the crispy, slightly burned rice and combo of vegetables. Of course, the added blobs of spicy pepper paste made it perfect. Service is excellent. There were constant inquiries to see if we needed something else ("More water?"). Of course, I got extra white radishes. :-) Prices are not cheap, averaging $30-$40 per person (and of course, they have skyrocketed since the pandemic). For example, the Galbi was $35, a bit pricey for the small bowl that was placed on our table (see photo). However, while there are many decent Korean eateries in Broward County, Gabose is one of the best and well worth it.

    I came here on a weekday, and despite the short line, I ended up waiting about 40 minutes for a table. It seems like they only have six to eight Korean barbecue grills, along with regular tables for non-barbecue dining. I ordered two stews, a few meats, and black bean noodles. The food was good, and the meat was definitely good quality. They also have a sister branch in the same plaza that's a Korean Pocha.

    Not just great Korean bbq but also great food. The meat was pricey but definitely worth it. I liked that I was able to have yummy food that I didn't have to cook, but also had the opportunity to bbq a few meats. The service was quick and they did a good job recommending different plates to try. I heard that there are long waits on the weekends but went on a Wednesday at 7 and had no problem getting a seat.

    Absolutely a gem in the middle of Dade County!!! This place has some of the most authentic Korean food you'll be able to find in the area and they use a charcoal grill which is just a game changer when it comes to flavoring the meat. Great hours, good parking space and great vibes and service. I want to gatekeep this spot so no takes all the bbq spots haha! There's limited charcoal grill space so be forwarded but there's plenty of their normal food option tables and spots. Any groups of 6 and under are good but any bigger gets a bit crowded.

    My friend introduced me to this place and I loved it. This was my first time and I soon came back with more friends and we came to learn about their sister restaurant next door one busy Saturday night. The host encouraged us to wait there for our table and provided us with a buzzer. The restaurant is lovely I love the cooktop tables and go here specifically for this experience. The staff is kind and attentive and the food is good.

    Ask the Community - Gabose Korean BBQ

    How many people are required for a charcoal grill?

    I saw a table of 2 diners doing the grill.

    Is there a lunch menu (that's different from dinner menu)?

    No there isn't. Same menu for lunch and dinner

    What vegetarian options do they have? It doesn't need to be vegan (eggs, dairy, etc are ok but no fish sauce, dashi, etc.). ?(PS I know this is a better place for meat eaters - I'm just trying to find something for one veggie in a group. Thx!)

    I HIGHLY recommend vegetarians seek a meal elsewhere; I'm sure there are vegetarian side dishes here but undoubtedly this is a carnivore paradise

    Are any covid precautions still being taken?

    Employees were in masks. That's it

    Anyone know if they're open on 4th of July?

    Open

    Is this really an all you can eat buffet?

    No. A la carte

We did come back months later and this time, for my husband's birthday lunch after we played golf. His brother and dad were also with us and we tried their AYCE Korean fried chicken. AYCE for $15.99, but the catch is you have to order a drink. So, basically, more like $20. Chicken was good and we tried different flavors: soy garlic, spicy, cheese, honey (powder), and plain. The honey was my favorite, but to each their own! We tried to eat as much as we could to get our money's worth, but in the end--in my opinion--it's worth just getting it as an order, which is practically the same price and no requirement to order a drink. Overall, I would go back for kbbq... we have a good amount of kbbq spots in the county and of all the ones we've gone to, Hallyu is part of my top 3. Best tip we can give you: order the honey fries!

The middle of the pancake could've cooked a little more, the flour and the seafood were both a bit squishy. The banchan were great, the spicy radish and kimchi were my favorite. My husband got the spicy squid and added pork belly for +$10 and he loved it. It wasn't super spicy so I could still eat it. More sweet spicy than fire. My Galbi Tang was rich and full of umami. The ribs were a little overcooked and hard to get off the bones. The flavor was good though. There was plenty of glass noodles, thin radish slices, egg and big pieces of scallions in the broth.
