We recently had dinner at Kaya, and my father was very happy with the food, the hospitality and how quickly the food came out. They serve authentic Korean food, ... reminds me of good ole Korean food I ate growing up!

This has to be the worest Korean restaurant I have been to. As a Korean, it's quite embarrassing that a place like this exists. They charge $20 for seafood sundooboo and used cheap seafood value pack you get from asian market. I wouldn't have given 1 star if the taste was good. Avoid if you can.

We arrived at 6pm with 3 kids and 4 adults. We ordered 5 items and an appetizer but they said we had to order one item per person, so we would have to add to the order. We had all had a substantial snack and weren't that hungry; plus the kids just don't eat much and we were all going to share the dishes. We left because the owner insisted we needed to order more. I have never experienced such rude behavior from a restaurant before. We instead enjoyed really good korean food 10 minutes away at Myung Dong Tofu Cabin.

I ordered the Bum Bap because it’s the easiest to do and every Korean Restuarant should have this basic food!It’s really bad! Bim Bap is too cold - got to ask for warm white rice to go with this .For $25 you can do so much better!Like these side dishes should be room temperature not fridge cold.All the side dishes are soft- you could add fried anchovies to give more texture! Or grilled tofuWhy don’t you give some sauce to add for the main dish ? It’s is dry and just a bunch of boiled vege ! Why is the main dish cold?? Are you saving in electricity? The side chili orange bottle dear not count !Please improve!

Minimum service. LA Kalbi combo has very little kalbi for the price. Ordered pork bibimpap, reconfirmed it was pork and got… chicken. Side dishes are little and uninteresting.Parking: Roomy

It was really bad experience and I would never go back again.I am absolutely disgusted with the service here. Firstly, although you can pay for an "all you can eat" option, you are limited to only being able to order four menu items. On top of this, we would frequently have to wait more than 10 minutes to be able to order more menu items. Additionally, the corkage fee was an outrageous $20 per bottle, which is far more expensive than even the most high-end restaurants. Besides, even if you pay for the corkage fee, you cannot get enough wine glasses for more than 6 people. I don't think they can understand the meaning or the corkage fee. Furthermore, if you attempt to order more food after one minute of your service time ending, then you are unable to do so. Lastly, they continuously blamed the lack of staffing within the kitchen, leading to numerous delays in fulfilling customer orders even though the restaurant was empty. All in all, this was an extremely poor experience and I will not be returning here.

The worst tofu soup I’ve ever had. Don’t know how I ordered spicy and the broth comes out tasting like water

lack of customer service is hilarious…. If you’re poc that is. 5:40 pm on 12.22.2022 Smh nobody inside and takes 7 minutes to get a seat. Two older people come in right behind us and they’re greeted like family. Yeah we’ll stick to what we know. Thanks :(
