I support the boss who is doing something new. If there's one thing I regret, it would be great if the old subs were replaced by new ones.

I ordered Agu Jjim for the first time as a to-go option. When placing my order, I inquired about the possibility of adjusting the spice level, and the staff kindly confirmed they could accommodate that request. I asked for a medium spice level, and I was thrilled to open the dish upon receiving it, especially since the restaurant had recently opened.
Upon tasting it, I found it absolutely delightful—truly perfect. The seasoning was just right, and the spiciness suited my palate perfectly. While I know I cannot replicate such wonderful flavors, I genuinely appreciate the effort that goes into the dish, and I would like to share a couple of suggestions for improvement.
I noticed that the bean sprouts seemed quite shriveled, which might indicate they were added too early in the cooking process. If they could be boiled or steamed separately and then mixed with the Agu Jjim, it might enhance the texture. Additionally, I felt the quantity of bean sprouts was somewhat lacking. Given that bean sprouts are relatively inexpensive, increasing the amount could make the dish appear more abundant.
I share these thoughts with the hope that the restaurant continues to thrive. Overall, this Agu Jjim is the best I have enjoyed in Annandale, and it stands out among the Agu Jjim I've had in the U.S. The freshness of the fish was exceptional as well. I wish the restaurant great success!

I don't understand why I have to be kicked out at 9:30 when they say the business hours are until 10pm.

I am writing this because I am really baffled. I went in and placed a large order without knowing that the place was about to close. After 30 minutes, they told me to leave because they were closing. Shouldn't they have informed me when I was placing the order? I want to ask, what kind of business takes orders, serves the food, and then doesn't even give customers time to eat before asking them to leave?

Never give up the idea that you can have a delicious and filling meal here.When 4 adults went, we ordered food worth over $230 on the special, but the sukidashi and raw fish were really bad, so we left and had lunch again at Tosokjip next door. For your information, Tosokjip was really great.Spending money at Gaboja is like throwing money in the trash can!!I hope you never spend your money here and regret it like I did.For reference, I am leaving a review.

Not worth a single starNever spend money hereYou will regret it very much.
I’ve been going to this place on and off for about 4 years now and it has gone downhill. Sashimi is ok, but is it worth the money? Absolutely not. The side dishes were very lackluster and I can tell that they were OLD. The ingredients lacked freshness and they didn’t even bother to refill our water glasses when they were empty. I left disappointed, hungry and ANGRY that we had to pay a fat bill. H-mart sashimi is much more cost effective. Will NOT be coming back. EVER. AGAIN.

We were a bit worried going in after seeing the reviews, but decided to give it a shot. Overall, we were satisfied with the service and food. We ordered the Gaboja special (L) for four of us and got plenty of food. Both the side dish and main dish were delicious. Would recommend it.

We were hungry and couldn't settled on what to eat. Our baby decided that he wants eel. So while we're in Annandale, we stopped by Gaboja. We ordered their eel dish and the baby practically inhaled it. That should say it

I ordered raw fish and ate it. Although the portion was a bit small, I liked the sukidashi. I enjoyed it.
