Reviews for Gaja Korean Bar in Atlanta, GA
We waited longer for seating than for the food. Great atmosphere. The wait staff were polite especially the bartender! I was... super excited for the food but it just fell short for me. I guess I just didn?t like the flavour profile of the chicken. Thebrussel sprouts had like only 3 pieces of pork belly. The scallion pancake was too thick and it just had long big pieces ofscallion in one place instead of spread around on the pancake. The bulgogi was good but some parts were way too burnt so itthrew off the dish. The skillet plate was so hot that some of the black dust got onto the rice that was directly on top ofit. Considering the quality and portion of the food I don?t think the prices were fair at all Read more
huge rip off lol... the gochujang fried chicken was too salty. the scallion pancake was too fluffy and not crispy. the kimchi... fried rice was bland. the braised pork belly was bland. none of our food was hot enough. the portion sizes were too small. themusic is just too loud. ALSO THERE WAS A BONE IN MY FRIED CHICKEN (second pic)???? just go to northeast atlanta/metro atlantafor good korean food ???????? yuppietopia strikes again Read more
Love this place - a perfect blend of foodie and hip bar to hangout. We sampled several dishes & glad we got so much. Fried... chicken, bulgogi, dumplings all amazing options & staff was super friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend and go again.Light on the wallet too! Read more
After seeing Gaja tucked away in the back of a building a few times while in EAV, I decided to try it out. It is soooooo good.... It looks a little whole in the wall ish but you have to try it. I went with a couple of friends so I tried a little bit ofeverything and it was all delicious. Me and my bf had the Beef Bulgogi, Kimchi Fried Rice, and, Gochujang fried chicken, and SoyGarlic Fried chicken. All the dishes were unique and very good. Nice pairing of all the flavors. I will definitely be backbecause there are so many other menu items I want to try. The drinks were strong and the service was good. Solid spot in EastAtlanta Village.

Off the beaten path and DELICIOUS. We had awesome drinks and really great food. The brussels were a great app (and a generous... portion). Service was speedy and kind! We?ll definitely return on our next trip to ATL. Read more
I love the food here. When you enter the restaurant, it?s a whole new vibe and totally different from how it is outside. Really... good food, enjoyed the spice level. Parking is tricky, there are lots in front but gets filled up quickly. Will definitelyrecommend this place. There was no waiting,went on a weekday night. Read more
I ordered the Kimchi Fried rice. It tasted good but there were clumps of old, crunchy rice mixed in. I had the Iggy Pop cocktail... and it was damn good. My BF had the tuna bowl and loved it. The service was perfect. The bathroom was scary and dirty. We?llcome back but please clean the bathrooms ???? Read more
Being Korean and growing up in Korea, I was a little disappointed with the food, variety of street food, the employees literally... not knowing the Korean name of the food or the banchan when I asked for it in Korean but I did like the set up of the bar, tookme back to the bars in Seoul, Dongducheon, Deagu, Pyongtaek etc. back in the day. Our waitress was cool though. Read more
