Food: Flavorful yet conventional

Gam Ja Gol's menu, while flavorful, falls short on the creativity spectrum. Known for its standard, conventional dishes such as the tender Pork Neck Stew, Kimchi Fried Rice, and Vegetable Pancake, it sadly has been dealing with issues relating to some of its food items seeming less fresh. Generous portions and great value for money, however, offer some redemption.

  • Large Portions

    Generous, hearty portions receive high praise and are perfect for sharing.

  • Low Quality

    Quality of food has definitely declined, with some items tasting old.

Vibe: Decrepit and uninviting

The ambiance at Gam Ja Gol comes off as unappealing with reviews describing the interiors as being run-down and dirty, with outdated decor that desperately begs for a refreshing touch. It's far from ideal for a date night, and the buzz around the restaurant does little to mitigate these negative impressions.

  • Negative Buzz

    Decor needs refreshing, which can distract from overall experience.

Perks: Customer service debacle

The ordeal doesn't stop at Gam Ja Gol's ambiance. Customers have had a hard time with both parking and making reservations, while the noise levels do little to improve the overall experience. The waitstaff has been cited for being rude and unresponsive, adding to the discomfort of the dining experience.

  • Great For Groups

    Accommodating large groups with great portions, no wait, and comfortable space.

  • Bad Service

    Rude and unresponsive waitresses, inattentive service, leading to discomfort.
