Gaja Korean Bar

I went here based on a highly reviewed Instagram post. I know, I know…huge mistake. Parking wasn’t hard to find, but drive carefully. I walked in and I told the guy who was going to sit me down that I wanted a table and he gave me a “Are you serious? Can’t you sit at the bar?” look. He sits me down underneath the A/C where the condensation is dripping down on my shoulder. Took a couple of minutes to get my order placed and waitress never asked if I wanted a drink. A different lady brings the first dish and it got tossed on my table like if I was a dog. Another different lady brings the dumplings and beef bulgogi and at least she gave me a second to ask for a drink. Yet, once again “I’ll go look for your waitress.” and walks away. I tried the food and it was over saturated with sodium. Each dish was a huge disappointment that I left portions on the table. With the ugly taste left in my mouth, I ended up going to McDonald’s to clear the taste buds with an apple pie and sundae. I’m glad I didn’t walk in with a camera set-up, because I’d probably get a red carpet treatment. The ladies bringing the food should be waitresses and cover sections to avoid having one hovering a whole section

Food was great! The pork belly, beef bulgogi, and crispy dumplings were to die for! Fairly priced food and drinks. There were about 7 of us in our group and not a single complaint from anyone at the table. We came in yesterday evening and the bartender/server was KILLING IT! She deserves some praise and we definitely enjoyed her service and kindness. I’m so glad I finally was able to experience Gaja and can cross it off my bucket list! We will definitely be coming back soon. 🥳

My sister and I went here for a late lunch. We arrived around 5:30. Good thing because it got packed shortly after. It's a nice small speakeasy not a lot of seating but it's just the right size. I ordered the fried chicken and a soy garlic chicken dish. We also ordered the pork belly and the kimchi. Both chicken dishes were good and I've been to a couple spots that sell Korean fried Chicken. You can tell it was cooked fresh. Also, the kimchi was good as well. The pork belly was surprisingly good as well. It didn't taste like pork at all and sometimes when you go to certain places the pork belly has this strong pork taste. The service was good. It didn't take long for the food to come out because we got there before the rush. Our waitress was nice too, although she had to cover several tables at once. Overall I would go back to dry other dishes.
