“Just had a fantastic lunch at Wa Gabose Korean Restaurant with my family! From the moment we walked in, we felt the warmth of hospitality. Kyu, the owner, was super attentive, stopping by our table to make sure we were enjoying our meal. 🥰 The staff was friendly, adding to the great vibe!
We kicked off our feast with delicious Korean dumplings, and we couldn't get enough of that amazing dipping sauce! For our mains, we savored the Chicken Ka Su, Beef Dolsot Bibimbap, and the mouthwatering Beef Korean Style Ribs. Each dish was packed with flavor, and the sides were fresh and tasty!
If you're looking for a cozy spot with delicious food and excellent service, I highly recommend Wa Gabose! Can't wait to go back!“

“I love this restaurant…. The food is delicious… all the side dishes… main entrees.. excellent. My fav is the beef bulgogi. The last time ordered toboki (misspelled I am sure) so good �“

“Wow!! The sweet & spicy is the way to go????“

“Kim kitchen After going back and forth because I had been craving this soooooo bad I am posting this in hopes it gets to the owner for feedback. We called at 04:47 to place and order but kitchen opens at 05:00. The person answered said they didn’t open till 5 pm but could take the order and just place it once kitchen opened. Literally no biggie as we were already parked outside the restaurant and didn’t mind the wait. We place the order for the kimchi soup and bibimbap with extra kimchi and extra fishcakes. ( some things come at an extra charge and we never mind paying for them) ✨ The staff tells us it will be 30 minutes and so we sit in our car and wait. About 25 min in I get off and the order is ready. Perfect timing! I ask the cashier if we got extra of everything and she assures me that yes. We make the 25ish min drive back and open the bag. We did not get extra anything and the bibimbap is missing the sauce that makes the whole dish. I call back and speak to Gypsy and her solution is that she will talk to the person that made the order and make the owner aware of it. When I asked to speak to the owner or the person in charge she says there is no one and to call back another day. When I ask what she is going to do to correct the order my hopes was she would just offer to give me the sauce and the extras or remake the whole order since it’s just the two items and it is a 25 min drive. We have been coming to this location since it was Seoul house and many times into the transition to Kim’s Kitchen. At this point I have now made several calls to them because I honestly wanted my meal but the usual service wasn’t there and it had me torn between suck it up or take it back. At this point Gypsy says she will have to reach out to the owner as I’m being difficult. I was the first and only person at the location. I made sure to ask before I left because the food is wrapped in plastic wrap. It’s unfortunate because this was whole thing was about sauce and extras that we would have happily paid for. My final call I told Gypsy I would just be going back to ask for a refund and would take the food. Her response was that’s fine and we will be glad to just give you your money back. Please know this is not appropriate resolutions and should definitely not be happening when there was not one other person in the whole restaurant. It’s unfortunate because the food is delicious but given that getting ahold of someone else other than Gypsy was not possible this will hopefully reach the owner and can be used as a learning experience for future situations with other clients.“

“We came to Nak Won Jung and tried the galbi, kimbap, and seafood soup.

The galbi had great flavor but was a little on the tough side — wish it had been a bit more tender. The kimbap was fresh and satisfying. The real standout though was the seafood soup — packed with fresh seafood and full of rich, savory flavor. Definitely a must-try if you’re a fan of soups!

Service was friendly and the atmosphere was casual and cozy — perfect for a comforting Korean meal.“

“Great place to eat especially if you enjoy spicy chicken/ wings. Every menu item I ordered had a nice crispy crunch that leaves you satisfied. My server Hector was super nice and helped us out by offering samples of all the unique and tasty sauces. 10/10 would recommend.“
