Borit Gogae

Truly one of the best meals I’ve had in my life. This is on par with what I’ve had in Jeju and even better than food I’ve had in Seoul. Service was warm and friendly as well. Only thing to take note is that the servings are HUGE and you need to order one set per person. The amount and quality of food is totally worth the price you pay for.

Time of visit - 11am Wednesday Order - course meal ($35 per person) at least 2 people needed. Would not recommend this place if you intend to dine alone. Portions are large. Food - every single dish reminds me of rural South Korea. I loved every single dish down to the last drop of plum dessert drink. If you haven’t had food from rural Korea, you may find the food here bland with unfamiliar flavors so this place cannot be enjoyed by everyone. But if you remember the taste of grandma cooking back in Korea you would love this place. Service is excellent when the place is not full of people. The most popular menu item is the course meal so expect delays when the place is packed.

The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was warm and cozy, and it felt like being at my grandma’s house. I truly loved it

I'm glad I tried it, but don't feel compelled to visit again. We arrived just past noon and our rice arrived room temp, our soups quickly reached room temp, and the entire meal felt very rushed and not particularly special given the high cost/person. As mentioned previously, the food quality reminded me of a Korean school cafeteria! That said, the ladies who work there are very kind and nice. Parking in the small shared lot behind the restaurant can be a challenge.

I was really excited to try this place after seeing it all over social media and YouTube. Overall, I’d give it a 3/5. The service and atmosphere were great, but when it came down to the main reason we came—to enjoy the food—it fell short considering the price. We ordered the 보리밥정식 set at $34.99 per person, which came with a variety of side dishes and porridge. I knew it would be centered around side dishes, but nothing really stood out or left a lasting impression. For two people, the total came to about $77 before tip, and roughly $93 after. For that price, it feels like a bit of a splurge for what you get—I think you’d get a more satisfying meal (and value) at a Korean BBQ spot for around the same cost.

Been here a few times and always order the set menu with barley rice — such a memorable experience with a feast of banchan, warming soups, and even the cutest dessert plates! The environment also mirrors the food experience, so many traditional Korean details everywhere. Only downsides are the often rude service and high prices but the food quality makes up for anything!

My friends wanted to try authentic Korean food, so we went to Borit Gogae, which had a 4.3 Google rating. The restaurant is spacious, decorated with traditional Korean items, and even has goods available for purchase. For dinner, we ordered the "Banchan" set with barley rice ($29.99 per person), which included soybean soup and chicken soup. We also had to order a meat or fish dish separately, so we went with the LA Kalbi and yellow corvina. Unfortunately, the banchan and both soups were very bland—I didn’t eat them. The Kalbi was tasty, but the corvina was so nasty I couldn’t finish even one bite. The service was good, but overall, I wouldn’t return.
