You can eat authentic and delicious Korean food. The food, atmosphere, and customer service were great! Personally, I really enjoyed the cold noodles and pork soup.

The service at this place is probably the slowest in the world. Slow even for American standards. It is not just one day, it is always like like this. They probably save money on staff - the owner does most of the work himself (very slow and super inefficiently) - does it mean you don't need to leave a tip if there is no server?Do not expect your food to come earlier than after one hour.

Came here at the advice of a local friend who swears by their tofu soup. It did not disappoint! The tofu dumpling soup and bibimbap complemented each other perfectly in this rainy weather. Service was quick and wonderful. Good, authentic Korean family cooking just like Korea.

This place serves a wide menu of great Korean food at reasonable prices. It’s not super cheap but not too expensive.

Food/Taste/ - Pork Neck-Bone Soup (#1 in Stew & Soup) and a Mushroom(n) + Beef Tofu Soup. Both soups were flavorful and the pork neck-bone soup was very generous in protein. The sides were delicious and they provided complimentary purple rice! - large spacious restaurant with plenty of seating. The side door is locked so you do have to walk to the front of the restaurant to walk in. About 6-7 parties walked up the side door and looked extremely confused that there were people inside but they couldn't walk in. - we came for an early dinner before the crowd came and service was very quick!Value for - delicious food, quick service, and a very comfortable feel in the restaurant.

When I eat Korean, it has to be authentic. And Gaya is truly a legit place. It feels like I'm eating at home. It does take awhile to get food. Sometimes, it takes awhile to be seated. It gets packed in here and I know why. The staff is nice but probably need more people which I'm sure are tough to find. Regardless, I respect how hard they work and I never expect "American style" attention in a bona fide Korean establishment. You get the full experience. Just bring me delicious food. And Gaya is so good!!! It's worth the wait for me. I got time for yummy home cooked food in a restaurant.

My husband doesn't like Korean food but he got food poisoning years ago and it ruined it for him. Sucks for me because that means I don't get it unless I go with friends or with my parents. Until this place! I'm used to the best Korean food in K-town, Los Angeles. However since we've moved to the south bay I haven't had any place I would want to repeat. This place was clean and friendly. A bit understaffed but who isn't with the way the economy is going so they were pretty slow. It was worth it when the ban chan came out. Everything was fresh tasting and yummy. Even though it wasn't as pungent as I'm use to with authentic Korean food, it was good enough for me to come back. My husband enjoyed it so much we his willing to come back. He ordered Kim Chi pancake and purple rice. I got the galbi and spicy cold noodle combo. Again, not as pungent as i would love it but good enough for me to enjoy it!Safe to say we will be back to try some other dishes that I want to try like the short rib soup and the ox tail soup.

I don’t often write reviews but this Korean place was fantastic! The sides were generous and they gave purple rice with the amazing tofu soup. I’d recommend the medium spice for most
