Food: Flavorful soup but lacks spice
Gonjiam's beef soup comes with a rich, comforting flavor that’s as warming as it is hearty. The Boodae Jjigae, filled with delicious ingredients offers a great bang for your buck. However, the gopchang tripe stew, while well-seasoned, suffered from a lack of punch. The food, generally, lacks any sort of consistent flavor profile that one would expect given its reputation.
Great Value
Authentic and affordable, consistently providing good value and reasonable prices.
Okay Taste
Mixed experiences; some dishes good, others lacked expected flavor quality.

Vibe: Less than clean, visually unappealing
Gonjiam has a quirky ambiance, largely hindered by an off-putting smell and questionable cleanliness. The absence of aesthetic appeal might leave diners underwhelmed and craving for a more inviting atmosphere to enjoy their meal.
Bad Ambiance
Odd salony smell and lack of cleanliness slightly mar the experience.
Perks: Dreary parking, compact seating
Parking is a nightmare around Gonjiam, with no valet service to aid the issue, finding a spot can be tedious. The restaurant's seating arrangement isn't conducive for large groups and parties, the cramped space might lead to an uncomfortable dining experience. Although the service is hit-or-miss, making it neither impressive nor downright appalling.
Okay Service
Service can be hit or miss, sometimes good, sometimes neglected.
Hard To Park
Parking is awful, with no valet service offered; hard to find spots.
