Evidence points to failure due to high competition in the food court (notably beside McDonald's) and the challenges of establishing a new international brand in the U.S. market, leading to a quick closure. Reddit According to community reports on Reddit in March 2026, the location was boarded up, the phone number was disconnected, and it was removed from delivery apps." This kind of action saddens me, because two weeks earlier (maybe), my wife and I ate there for what was our last time. The last item I had on their menu was Its MyThyme. This along with the Crispy Mozzarella Balls. My Favorite Items were the #1 Chef Pan, #3 Chesey Rosemary, #6 Its My Thyme and #4 Teri & Yaki, but not necessarily in this order. Oh, did I mention I liked the Crispy Mozzarella Balls too? I have visited this place 14 times and I thought there would be a 15th time, but "Alas Poor Yorick, Nevermore." I remember the simple but peaceful vibe and ambience the place gave off. The $14.99 meals were fantastic/flavorful, filling and inexpensive. We enjoyed talking to the managers of the establishment. They always made sure food arrived in a timely manner and fixed problems should they occur. I unfortunately do not remember the name of the managers of the restaurant, but I thank them for their services. I would have to say up until Gagawa came to the United States Of America, (formerly Tavuk Dünyası), I have never had Turkish Cuisine before. I now know I have been missing out on great food. Both my wife and I truly enjoyed eating at this restaurant. There are a few reasons I think could have improved the restaurant's business, but managers informed me The owner would never do this. Here is an example of an idea for guests I had..., but first the basics: Ordinarily you would order say...(It's My Thyme #6), you would aquire Your the flavored meat, pasta, (either pesto or tomato not both) or rice and salad. You could get two rice, two Pastas (of the same flavor) or two salads if you didn't want one of these items. I thought it would help guests if you could mix and match items. Say one Pesto and one rice instead of salad for example. This option was done once then quickly reversed the next time I came back to the restaurant. I was informed this "isn't an option." I had talked about the option of Los Tres Pollos (The Three Chickens) where you might order a the chicken meats of your favorite meals..., say number 1, 3 and 6 for a very favorable meal. This idea was shot down too. I am sure people would have paid $19.99 to try this option of meats or soy items. "Potential Causes For Closing Down: Observers on Yelp noted it was located in a crowded, competitive fast-food court." The inability to adapt to ideas of improving the food options of restaurant, the cognitive rigidity of not listening to guests who had ideas of attracting more guests helped bring about the down fall of this business. My wife and I saw this place needed more people to come eat here, but the owner was steadfast in his ways and wouldn't take creative input. "And as the flames climbed high into the night, to light the sacrificial rite I saw Satan laughing with delight The Day the Music Died." and so folks, the end of Gagawa is upon us. Who will take the place of this restaurant, I can not say. Let's hope the new restaurant has the sense to adapt and overcome or history might repeat itself. Incase people are wondering where Gagawa was located, here is the former location. The restaurant was located at the food courts 7939L Tysons Corner Ctr, Mc Lean, VA 22102. Across the hallway from California Pizza Kitchen and next to McDonald's.

They took the time to explain the menu and different food options, which I really appreciated. I ordered the build-your-own bowl with sweet chili chicken, and it was outstanding--everything was so fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The rice was especially impressive: fluffy, tasty, and cooked just right. To top it all off, they were kind enough to offer me free tea and their delicious rice pudding with hazelnuts, which was amazing and such a thoughtful touch. I'll definitely be recommending this place to others. It's already one of my new favorite spots--I truly loved everything about my experience here!

Ambiance is casual, no frills and just feels like a place where you can make a quick stop before heading to the mall. Portions are fairly sized, so you actually feel full, and for the quality and quantity, it's a great value for the money.

Their chicken comes out very hot and fresh. The batter has a nice crisp. The honey butter sandwich I chose had nice flavor and the cheese you can taste.

I will likely come back.

However, it was very unclear and hard to understand, so I walked up to the cashier and asked questions before ordering. Cashier was very nice! 2. Food itself is underwhelming, but not bad.

I doubt I will be back here.

I was expecting typical Korean fried chicken size, but they were small like American ones. Not worth $2 per wing. The Honey Butter Wings were very crispy and quite juicy.

The batter wasn't great and a bit weird tbh.

I took a break from shopping and came here to have something to eat. I had the Mongolian barbecue but I had it with noodle, shrimp and vegetable. It's easy, you pick the raw stuff and give it to them to cook on the big round metal grill. I remember having this in one of the deli lunch places in Manhattan in midtown, long time ago, maybe late 90s. This place made my plate ok, but I like the "made-to-order" lunch at a fast food place like this. At least I didn't order the cooked food that's been sitting too long outside. Mongolian barbecue is the way to go here.

They have self order kiosks and if you pick any of the bowls, you have the option to remove or add toppings. I ordered the soy sauce beef bulgogi with all the toppings and added an egg for $18 total. The bulgogi was flavorful but the portion size was relatively small and light on the toppings for the price. It looks like a pretty good size scoop of japchae but theres a bed of lettuce under it so really it was only 2 or 3 bites.
