BornGa

There are 5 pre-fixed menu to choose from. The place is also self-service. You walk in and order from the counter. They will give you a buzz when your order is ready. Free refill kimchi from the refrigerator. There are a lot of Korean customers, so I guess the taste is somewhat authentic.

Quick and friendly service. Order at the counter near the back of the restaurant and wait in the area near the front. I had Dongaseu which was flavorful, and the portion was enough for me to have a few little nibbles later.

BornGa is an excellent Korean restaurant that serves up some delicious and homey food. My group ordered the scallion pancake appetizer, and it was so good that we had to order another one. The banchan sides were complimentary, and the spicy taste was heavenly. We then ordered two dolsot bowls and a beef stew, and they were all incredibly flavorful and hearty. We couldn't have been more satisfied with the food.However, the service could have been better. The staff seemed to be too busy to attend to our needs, especially after the food was delivered to our table. We had to wait for a long time to get their attention to refill our water glasses, and they only seemed to come over to clear the table. It would have been nice to have more attentive service.Despite the lack of attention from the staff, the food was exceptional, and we all left feeling very satisfied. If you're in the mood for some delicious Korean food, BornGa is definitely worth a visit. Just be prepared to flag down a waiter or waitress if you need anything during your meal

BornGa is under new management and has changed their format for the better. It is now a self-service restaurant that focuses mainly on Korean soups. They only have 4 things on their new menu: Dweji Gukbap (pork and rice soup), Sulungtang (ox bone soup), Sundae Gukbap (sundae and rice soup), and pork donkatsu. Though there are not any vegetarians options, this focused menu fills a niche need in the community. To order, you walk to the back of the restaurant and pay at the counter. When your food is ready, your number is called and you pick up your own food. Each dish comes with two types of kimchi and seasonings to make it spicy. There is also salt on the tables. Water and extra kimchi is all self-service as well as taking your tray back. Though the format is very different from what it was previously, the food was very good and hit the spot on a cold, autumn night. The restaurant was busy and filled with Korean locals. We are happy with this change and look forward to trying all the dishes this upcoming winter.

It's been awhile since I've been in Pa but this is a new restaurant for me. The local friends all appear familiar with it though. Went there twice in 2 days. They appear short staffed but the lady serving our table was really friendly and the service was really good. The first night we went there, we ordered the Bossam and Haemul Junggol, along with couple of other dishes. They were both good but really didn't stand out. I like a lot of oysters in the bossam radish salad but there was none. But it was still good. The next night, we received some pro tips from other people who said that we should get the Ahgu Jjim and Tongkatsu as this is what they were known for. Completely agree. Make sure you try those 2 dishes if you are in the neighborhood.

I just walked out. I was sat, rather brusquely in a tiny booth. Given a menu and water. Then abandoned. Completely. Over ten minutes later no service. Two other tables were there and eating. I was the only table that had not ordered. I just gave up. I even tried to go up to the counter to order. Woman turned as I approached and went into the back. Thanks. I get the idea.

I order fried rice with spicy squid and was delicious!! I will comeback with my husband :)The attention was really good :)

So, to get right to the point: the food is actually very good, but...the service is absolutely terrible. If service were half passable, it would be a 3.5 star. We came in for a family dinner around 7pm, and it was a relatively decent turn out (5-6 tables seated) for a middle of the week dinner. We were seated immediately and near the back, towards the kitchen (which is fine by me). We were seated and settled in with menus (only 2 menus for a table of 4 adults and 2 kids) in hand. From that point, it took a solid 10 minutes before we felt the need to ask for our orders to be taken, at which point, we also needed to ask for water and side dishes to be brought out. Sitting in plain view of the kitchen, we were able to see that our side dishes were immediately plated, placed on a tray, and left on the counter. Then they just sat there as our waitress walked back and forth...and back and forth...and back and forth. Finally after another 10 minutes, she was simply standing behind the counter looking out into the dining area. I was starting to get mildly frustrated at that point, and asked for her to bring those side dishes to us please.Now, thank goodness...the side dishes were pretty good! The marinated crab was great, the fish was nice, and everything was tasty minus the kimchi (I actually spit it out). A few minutes later our marinated kalbi and seafood pancake came - both tasted great! Kalbi was soft and well marinated, and the pancake was crispy and had a normal amount of seafood. Problem is, we asked for a pair of scissors to cut the meat for the kids. And our waitress went back to the kitchen and out again...and back...and out again...then stood at the counter, and then brought out the main course lol! I thought, "ok, she's gonna bring it now." But nope! I kindly reminded her again to please bring us some scissors. The pork dolsot bibimbap was very good, and the spicy fish stew () was also pretty solid. I'll chalk this one up to a fairly new restaurant still figuring things out with a pretty fresh staff.

The owner is so nice. Definitely made us feel welcome. Will return whenever we want stew and side dishes

The price of the food has been raised a lot and the quality of the food is not good for the price. Marinated fish are terrible. There were only two pieces of cuttlefish.I will not go there again.
