I was the fourth person at the bar. After 15 minutes, the bartender looks at me then continues to ignore me. About 10 minutes later, they say “Whatcha thinkin’”. I order the beef bulgogi. It had so many burnt bits, I couldn’t eat it. I typed this review with napkins on my plate and an empty glass

Everything was good, ecept for bulgogi. It was overcooked and tasted like rubber. Not sweet and juicy at all.

Cool spot for trendy east-siders. Sat at the bar and the bartender that waited on us was extremely impatient and borderline rude as we had a couple questions about the menu. What was worse is that she was very nice to the couple next to us with whom she knew and I think were regulars (they were also younger and more hip). It also seemed like she was an owner or manager by the way she was speaking to the other couple. IF she is a manager or owner, she really needs to reevaluate what she is doing with her life because she seems extremely unhappy to be in customer service. Food was just okay. I had a tofu dish and it was good but not something I’m going back for. Scallion cakes were flavorless. Mushroom lettuce wraps had great flavor but some of the mushrooms were too chewy to eat. Drinks were also just meh. Cool spot, great atmosphere, but needs to improve service and food.
Vegetarian options: A couple vegetarian options.

I’ve been to a lot of Korean restaurants, at least a hundred different and the food at Gaja is absolutely amazing. The bibimbap and bulgogi and delicious and the best I’ve had it ATL by far. The banchan and kimchi is a must have. The bar is cool but the whole restaurant is easy to miss with only a small sign which kind of adds a hidden and hip atmosphere.
Delicious. Very friendly people. Great atmosphere.

Great atmosphere, very lively. The service was good and super fast. Both food and drinks were good too. We tried kimchi fried rice, spicy pork bulgogi and scallion pancake for food and green fuzz for drinks. All was good, the scallion pancake felt a little undercooked and I wish we could have chosen the spice level in foods.
