Mixed Experience: I recently visited Gaja Korean Bar drawn in by its inviting street vibe. While the atmosphere and service were commendable, my dining experience took a hit due to some issues with the food. The pork belly, though expertly fried, surprisingly lacked flavor, leaving me wanting more depth in taste. The Korean fried chicken, described as such, ended up resembling a buffalo chicken tender with ranch dressing rather than the anticipated Korean flair. This was an unexpected letdown. Additionally, the crispy dumplings failed to live up to their name – lacking the desired crunch. The food fell a little short. Was it good? Yes, but it wasn’t enough for me to ponder when I immediately will return. However, I am up to give it another whirl because the team seems legit. Despite these setbacks, the ambiance and service created a positive atmosphere. The food fell a little short. Was it good? But not enough for me to ponder craving an immediate return. However, I am up to give it another whirl because the team seems legit.

The food was great for the location, usually would have to go up North for decent Korean food. The portions could be a lot better though because my friend finished his main dish in a few minutes. The atmosphere was also good.

I felt like I was in a movie. The inside of this place was SO cool! It gave underground, back alley Korean bar with good food. Totally loved the aesthetics!!! I was craving Korean Fried chicken and decided to come here. The service was great and food came really quick. Although the Korean chicken was different from what I’m used to, it was still very good and flavorful. The sauce was a flavor I’ve never had before. The Kimchi fried rice was probably my favorite. The runny egg on top was a very nice touch and the bowl of rice was enough for two people or a meal by itself. I loved the presentation of both dishes. My date got the beef dumplings and he loved them!

Saw this place on IG and decided to check them out. It’s giving cool underground vibes. I didn’t give 5 stars for service because I asked the server for a straw for my drinks and she comes back holding the straw in bare hands🤢🤮 expecting me to use it in my drinks🥴 Miss ma’am we are not related and that’s nasty !! I drank straight out the glass instead. Because where your hands been👀🤢. The food was pretty good. I’d definitely come back but bring your own straws ..lol

This was my first time here at Gaja and I loved it. Starting when we walked in the space is so cute and smelled amazing. It instantly made me so hungry. I started with a gurt sugarman. It was a delicious soju and yogurt cocktail. The food was yummy, and with the brussel sprouts with the porkbelly were definitely my fav! We had the pleasure of being served my Conrad who brought a great energy to our time here. Thanks yall! I will be back for the Kimchi fried rice.

This is such a cool place. I loved the vibes and the employees were so nice!! The food was pretty good typical Korean bar food but nothing that was outstanding or show stopping. I would definitely return for a drink and some snacks!

Went to eat on a Saturday evening, after friends recommended this place. The entrance was super sus, we didn't even wait in line too long even though the restaurant was super busy! Sat outside because the music inside was super loud. The servers were super nice and the food was good, not to mention well priced! I did end up feeling super unwell because of being pregnant and sitting outside in the humid hot air. I went to sit inside and the servers gave me a fan and some ice to cool myself. 4/5 would recommend trying this place out! Would go again!

A great almost hidden spot for Korean food. I love the ambiance of Gaja and always feel like a hipster at a hole in the wall when I eat here. You can never go wrong with beef bulgogi and Brussel sprouts (which are soo good). The drinks are usually strong, but I wasn’t too crazy about the flavors the last time I visited. Overall, a cool spot to grab drinks after work.
