Bang Ga Nae Restaurant

Great Korean food and service, and this restaurant is good for casual drink as well. Most dishes are meant for soju side dishes, especially the grilled mackerel. Taste and smell were both great. Will visit again. Update as of 08/04/19: Place is under a new management and the menu has been updated. Food wasn't great and pricey. However, service was good and friendly.

The staff is somewhat attentive, but not really customer oriented. The food tasted decent, but the portion size is horribly small. I ordered a chicken and shrimp dish, and it came with all of two shrimp, and two nugget-sized pieces of chicken. Suffice it to say, I was quite disappointed in what I received. I will not be eating here again, as I feel their food is a ripoff.

It was bad: the food was typical, and service was typical. On top of that, the place was not even clean: I found a "their pet" cockroach on the wall. Also, none of reaction from them regarding the cockroach. Or, “Did I pick up a fight against 'their lovely pet cockroach'?" Unless you're very good at enduring seeing a pest or taking a picture of it, this isn't the good place. I won't be back this place.

I had ground been soup(?) for lunch today. First it was too mild to taste any flavor, however, as I was eating, the flavor from the soup started to come alive and I enjoyed till the last drop. They also have authentic traditional bean pasta soup (Chong kuk jang) which was fermented with rice straw they brought from Korea, and my friend ate it till the last drop. It was good meal for lunch.

I just left this place and I had to leave a review. I really liked this place the past several times but it makes sense from a previous reviewer that it is under a new ownership. Too tired to get into the details. But the food (banchan/side dishes, both soups we ordered) and service (very indifferent) were both pretty bad and I will not be returning, nor will my friends and family.

My one time experience eating at this restaurant is summed up in one word: ROBBERY. Don't understand the people that come here, guess they don't know any better or don't care about what they're actually eating. Good food has it's source in the ingredients. Some of the meat that was in the goat dish that I ordered looked like mystery scrap meat. I personally don't mind scrap meat e.g. Spam, it's just that I don't want to pay premium for it. I ordered goat stew, paid over 50 dollars for it. Upon stirring the boiling contents that were in the pot, I noticed that some of the pieces of meat in the pot actually looked like pigs feet. Yes I've actually tried "pig's feet", and some of the meat in this pot looked exactly like pigs feet. Seriously, I searched "goat meat" on google, as well as "goat fat"...there's not a single picture online that resembled the pieces of meat-with a thick brown rubbery skin and the centimeter layer of fat underneath-that I saw inside the dish that I ordered. My understanding is that goat meat has the least amount of fat compared to the other meats e.g. pork, chicken, beef. There was A LOT of FAT in the goat dish that I ordered. People work hard in this country, don't fork over your hard earned 50 dollars to these scammers that want to serve you their kitchen garbage. It might taste good, but it's still second rate garbage that you're stuffing down your throat and that's definitely not worth the premium of 50 dollars per dish.
