MinGa Korean Restaurant

the food was cold and not very tasty. we arrived half an hour before the closing. the staff was obviously unhappy to see us and they were mopping around our table eventhough we left already before the closing time

My friends and I have been craving Korean food since watching Culinary Class Wars and this hit the spot! I had the seafood suntofu and my friends had the kimchi suntofu and grilled mackerel, and we shared the Korean roll for an app. We also had hot yuzu tea which was very tasty. Everything was excellent and the service was fantastic! Highly recommend!!

As a Korean, I came here to get some Korean food. Ordered vegetable pancake for appetizer but it was totally different from what I thought it would be. Korean pancake is supposed to be thin with thin cut vegetables julienned. However, what I got was very disappointing and little to no oil. The flour was too thick with little vegetables that were cut too big. And I ordered shrimp tempura udon for the main entree. Little noodles and the shrimp tempura is so small. When I took a bite of it, I noticed that it was undercooked and the smell wasn’t good. Then I got the kalbi but it was supposed to be sizzling but it wasn’t anything like that. Very disappointing, pricey and won’t be coming back.

This was the saddest ramen. Egg is not a full egg - it is a dozen strips of "egg-like" food. And the tiniest condiment box for two ramens. Which one split amounted to 2 cubes daikon, 3 cubes potato, 1/2 tsp of beans, and three shreds of kimchi. Absolutely no flavor in the no spice level ramen.
This was take-out, direct order and pick-up with the restaurant.

Best chicken wing in Chapel Hill. I would go to war defending that statement.
Every menu item we’ve gotten has been awesome too. If you are willing to shell out a little bit of extra money for great Korean food, this is a place for you. Food comes out quickly and attentive service in the restaurant, plenty of banchan too.

Parking: Plenty of off street parking. Bus stop close by too

My father and I have been coming here at least one Sunday morning every month for the past three years. Not ONE TIME has it been less than PERFECT. The staff has always been wonderful, competent, and kind. My dad lived in Korea for 9 years and he says this is the closest, most authentic Korean food he has had since returning stateside. The Dukboki is my absolute favorite and their seafood pancake is always right out the pan fresh and loaded with quality seafood. They never skimp on quality or portion for sure. Chapel hill has a lot of great spots, and this is one for sure.

The food was gone before I could take a picture, because it was so delicious! This was my first time dining here, so I had the bulgogi beef lunch platter. The portion was generous and the meat was melt in the mouth tender. Not too salty, and lightly sweet, the first bite sent me straight to heaven! The service couldn't have been better. As I was finishing, the rain was pouring, so my server offered me an umbrella ?. I just love this place and can't wait to return with my friends!

Authentic, well made, and filling korean dishes by people who genuinely care. Only took a star off because it is pricey like many others have said, but you pay what you get for (in a good way). Compared to Namu up the street that serves really poor tasting dishes in my opinion, this should be the go to korean restaurant in CH unless you just want some good, cheap wings at Bonchan
