“Authentic Korean cuisine that isn’t just kbbq. The service was so sweet and he even packed my leftovers in the box for me. It is self service / self seating. The food was delicious!! Will definitely be a new staple Korean restaurant for me.”
“Absolutely wonderful! My first time in, and the chef recommended the #1: dole-sote bipimbap …delicious! The hot stone bowl made for an amazing dining experience, awesome combinations of flavors and textures. The hot & iced teas were delightful as well. Can’t wait to come back next time I’m in the neighborhood.”
“Mom and pop Korean restaurant! The flavors were great and everything was cooked very well. It was so cute seeing the owner cook in the back himself and all the attention he put into each dish. Will definitely return!”
“I loved the food here. Very authentic Korean food and high quality especially for the price. Family owned restaurant. I will visit again.”
“Delicious authentic Korean food at a great price. Food was fresh and felt home-made. The owner was welcoming. Would recommend 10/10”
“My favorite spot for Korean food! Everyone here is so kind and the food is delicious!”
“Authentic Korean food, family-style. It takes a little longer to cook the food but the wait is definitely worth it! No tips needed bc self-service.”
“Home style Korean dishes. Generous portion. Just like my Mother-in-law's cooking, and she is good. Though their dole-sote bi-bim-bop is very delicious. Hope she doesn't mind me saying so.”
“The food was really good and it was authentic, probably a hidden gem. The owner was really friendly and he seemed really hardworking bc he was the only one running the kitchen and the counter. The cheol-pan dishes are good and my mom who was a korean liked the soondubu (soft tofu) stew. The music is also a good touch, I liked the classical music.”
“Go Goo Ma Korean Restaurant is a real hidden gem of a place. The place has easy parking right in front. The dining room is spotless and offers comfortable seating. Even if you’re not familiar with Korean food, they have pictures of all the entrees coinciding with a number and spelled out in English so it’s very easy. We ordered the Beef Stew with noodles #10 & Sweet & Sour Sizzling Chicken #6. They both came with a couple delicious bon chon (side dishes) as well as a nice dish of rice and my chicken even had a little bowl of soup! The service was very friendly and the food was made to order and it’s fresh. They also provide free buckwheat tea which is really nice in cold months and iced tea in summer. Both entrees were very good and served steaming hot. The stew was in a bowl that kept it hot while eating. The sizzling chicken came out on a heated platter with the sauce on the side to drizzle. Portions are plentiful, authentic and delicious. This is a very nice place to relax and enjoy a meal as it’s pretty quiet inside.”
