This place is located inside of market city. There’s lots of parking. It is also wheelchair accessible. There is limited seating if you want to eat inside, but the space is clean, clean storefront and cold AC inside the owners were very nice. They gave me and my friend, a complementary soda drink And I ordered the barbecue chicken regular plate. It was $19 and I got four choices on the side, my friend got the shrimp temper plate. The food was amazing. The atmosphere was quiet and calm although the parking lot can get busy so the best time to go would be around 230pm ish.

I was deeply disappointed today. A local man came out of the kitchen carrying my side dishes, and it seemed like he had handled them with his bare hands, without even wearing an apron. My food container was smeared with what looked like food from his hands—it was completely unhygienic. I felt sick just looking at it and wanted to throw the food away. I’ll never go back there again. The place is absolutely unsanitary—local staff are preparing food with their bare hands. I strongly recommend stayi

I always eat galbi. It's so soft and delicious every time I eat it! I am so happy that the staff is so kind and has so many side dishes. Next time I have a party with my friends, I will try various dishes. 🥹♥️

Gina’s is what I crave when wanting Korean bbq comfort food. Not fancy, just really good. Small operation that gives the impression that at any moment your auntie will poke her head out and ask what you are hungry for. I am partial to the kalbi beef but the whole menu works for me. If you cannot decide on a single dish I suggest ordering Gina’s special. By doing this you essentially get the entire menu on a single plate (slight exaggeration but only slight). My favorite sides are the seaweed and daegu.

Not much room for eating there. Best to take out or get over yourself and sit family style with whoever walks through the door. Suggest calling ahead though if you’re taking out as they do get crowded.

I was terribly disappointed this time. Gina’s never failed to satisfy me since the early 1990s. I ordered a bbq chicken ($18.99), and the amount of meat was about 60% of what used to be served before these new owners took over. The bbq chicken was bland, dry, and flavorless as well. They fill the plate with tons of rice. Super disappointed. I’m never coming back here again. So sad to see the original Gina’s gone. She was the one that invented Korean plate lunch, and had that legacy of superior eats. I should have read the reviews before coming here. Super regretting it…

The food was cold and bland, like it was reheated from the previous day. The rice was dry. I also think they forgot to rinse the salt off the kimchi before fermenting it in the sauce. Overall, better to go to Pearl's or Mama Woo's.

Their food is SO GOOD, and in large portions. The main treat you get is the side dishes, we got radish kimchi, daegu, cabbage kimchi, and seaweed, which were all so good, but you get to pick which four you want. We got the Pork Katsu Regular plate, and after both eating large servings, there are still about 2 servings leftover. Definitely don't need to order the regular serving for 1 or 2 people! The staff were pretty nice, but the main drag is the inside being very small and run down. Definitely a great spot for takeout, I'm currently full and content as I write this!

First time going there I was very excited. The young man shared what I should get. I decided to go with his suggestion, then the owner said something
I did not bother. When I asked for tegu I got it then I wanted kimchee cucumber. When I asked to get another serving. She said No!!! I was excuse me? She said no and I asked why??? She said get others and its been long time well 1) put a sign up!!! I said I am paying, but she started talking shit!! I said that's not right then Korean languagee came out! I got so irritated that I asked for my money back!!!!!

The plates are HEAVY. You can share with your mans or you can BIG BACK and get separate plates. The food it hot and fresh. The tempura is honestly sooo fresh and crispy. All the sides are good. 10/10 come here when you’re HUNGRY.

Ginas use to be good but quality is going down. Meat Jun plate is $18.50 and it was mostly egg. Meat was so thin and they changed the sauce it’s more watery. The Kim chee was bland. I ordered online and requested extra sauce but they did not give any
