Food: Food lacks a punch

Borit Gogae's gives a nod to tradition with their must-try Barley Rice Set and Grilled Corvina Fish elevating simple into signature. However, the food narrative flails with underwhelming flavors and small portions. The lack of variety and stringent set menu rules do not appeal with the prices seeming a hefty payoff.

  • Very Creative

    Innovative use of common ingredients creates a unique, authentic experience.

  • Okay Taste

    Healthy, lightly seasoned food appeals to some; others find it too bland.

  • Small Portions

    Small portions that do not satisfy, impacting overall enjoyment.

Vibe: Irresistible cozy corners

The ambiance subtly uplifts the dining experience. Bathed in flattering lighting, the space vacillates between cozy and sophisticated.

Parking woes disappear into the free, abundant space in the back of the restaurant. The noise level is pleasantly dulcet, with relaxing music enriching the ambiance. Service is fast, staff courteous and diets catered to. Yet, the lack of reservation system and non-kid-friendly atmosphere might turn the charm down a notch.

    Free, ample parking in back, a huge plus in busy Ktown area.

    Charming ambiance with comfort, yet not specific to outdoor seating.
