Go Hyang Jib Korean restaurant is truly a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Chinatown. It has become my go-to spot for delicious Atka mackerel grilled fish and mouthwatering sashimi on rice dishes. One of the highlights of dining here is the variety of flavorful soups, especially the seafood soup, which never fails to impress.Having been a loyal patron for the past 15 years, I can attest to the consistent quality of their food. While there may be occasional long waits during busy periods, the enduring kindness of the lady who has been a fixture there for years makes the experience worthwhile.Her dedication to providing excellent service is truly commendable.Despite the potential for longer wait times, the wait is always worth it as every visit guarantees well-marinated and fresh seafood dishes served in generous portions. Plus, the prices are incredibly reasonable, making it an excellent value for the quality of food offered.If you're seeking an authentic Korean dining experience hidden within Chinatown, I highly recommend Go Hyang Jib Korean restaurant. Just be prepared to exercise a little patience during peak hours, and you'll be rewarded with an unforgettable culinary journey.

This place is not actually a restaurant it's a convenience store with a food counter inside.

This place like the pictures show, is inside a gas station/convenience store, not the place for atmosphere, but the food was good, especially for the price. We had spicy pork bulgogi and beef bulgogi, each comes with panchan/side dishes, and miso soup! The cucumber panchan was very crunchy and appetizing. My pork bulgogi was very tasty and I finished it all. The beef bulgogi though was a bit gamey and not seasoned well. The one star off was mainly for this. You pay at the counter after you finish eating. You can tell they run their restaurant with heart. If I live in the neighborhood, I will frequent this place often.

The Korean dishes are no longer as good as used to be. But their new comida hondureña menu seems legit….

The Korean food here is average at best. The chef is a middle aged Hispanic lady - which is fine in theory - but in reality the flavors are a little off. The atmosphere inside a convenience store is not great either. Listen, if you were in the middle of nowhere and this was your only Korean food option, then it’s perfectly serviceable. But there are tons of better Korean options in Houston. This is not worth your time and effort.

Not authentic at all, not tasty, but the service is pretty good. It doesn't taste like Korean food, but it tastes like old American food, which is not good anyway. The seafood cake is even more unpalatable. There are only mussels with a little bit of squid, scallion and white onion.

It is in a convince store, it’s still a nice atmosphere. Extremely amazing food they really do give you large portions. One of the only places that DOESN'T give small portions for a high price. They also gives side dishes including rice.

It’s in a convenience store but don’t let that deter you. The food is absolutely delicious and the place is clean. I also thought the food was reasonably price, and I love that I can buy house made kimchi to take home with me and keep on hand. The girl at the front is always very friendly.

Food tastes okay. The atmosphere seems to specialize in carry out~. A South American lady seems to be cooking, but she seems like a naive and nice person.
