My parents and I really appreciated that there was outdoor tables so we could come eat here with our dog. Pricing felt slightly high but when we got our food, the entree portions are so large that you could honestly share them. We went on Sunday soon after they opened and it got fairly busy within the hour. There was only one server spread really thin so service was spotty/delayed but we understood. Our food was solid. Not spectacular, but a solid job. The mul Naengmyun was icy and refreshing as we'd hoped and the black bean noodles were what we were looking for. I had little expectations from the Yelp rating but we honestly couldn't complain. Food came quickly, they offered banchan, small portions and only four but still.

We were craving the classic Korean-Chinese dishes, so we ordered for pickup while driving and our food was ready by the time we arrived. We ordered the Jjajangmyeon, Jjamppong, and Tangsuyuk. The Jjamppong was the highlight of our meal. It had a healthy amount of seafood but could've been spicier. The Jjajangmyeon was mild but came with a large portion of sauce. The Tangsuyuk sauce was unfortunately quite bland and didn't have much of a sweet or sour flavor. We weren't fully impressed with our meal from MinGa and felt that the dishes we ordered could've used some more flavor and spice.

When I think back to our time at MinGa, I instantly think of a beautiful sunny yet breezy summer day (in February), sitting outside and sipping on hot soup and being blown away by the most amazingly sweet server.Yes, we went here during lunch hour and had the pleasure of sitting outside. I ordered the Seafood Suntofu and stone bibimbap and loved everything we received. To start off with the suntofu, it was essentially a soup with egg, tofu and different kinds of seafoods in it. I initially thought it to be a bit mild for my taste so I requested for some chilli paste/oil and that made it perfectly spicy for me.The stone bibimbap was amazing! I secretly wish I had ordered that but thats the plus of going out with others, you get to try many things at once. This was nicly spicy, and HOT I loved the saices they brought out with it. The crunchy rice from the bootm and the hot chicken made the dish irresistible for me! I know already what i will order next time.Strangely we only got 1 servng of the Banchan, but it was good enough as we were full by the end of this meal anyways.

Okay, let me start with the disclaimer here that I really like Korean food. And this place did not make me dislike it at all.We had just drove down to Chapel Hill, and this place the first one on our list. It was a pretty day so we decided to sit outside. Thankful that they had that option, even though a little limited.Our server was sweet and prompt to get our orders of Chicken Bibimbap and Seafood Suntofu. Loved both the dishes, especially how the rice and chicken at the bottom of my stone bowl got crispier as the time went on.In all, we had a hearty tasty meal here after driving for over an hour. Would definitely recommend.

Came here while visiting Chapel Hill, and it was pretty much your average authentic Korean food. Their menu is extensive with Japanese/Chinese/other Asian fusion elements in there, so you really have a bunch of options. The service was good: everyone that helped us was so gentle and kind. We started off with the Korean roll or kimbap (I don't get why they just didn't put the word "kimbap" on the menu) for an appetizer and it came out looking gigantic. Like TOO big for a roll. It was average, but I've definitely had much better. Too much rice and not enough beef at all. The banchan was ok, but the kimchi was so water downed. We then got the udon noodles, seafood suntofu, cold noodles, and the hot stone bibimbap. The udon noodles had a lot of squid, beef, and a large portion of noodles. The broth was not bad either! The seafood suntofu was flavorful and also had a lot of seafood inside. The cold noodles and bibimbap were sadly a miss for me. Both dishes had absolutely zero flavor, unless you load them with huge amounts of gochujang. But even then, it lacked some sort of seasoning. Overall, it's a cute little spot if you're craving Korean food, but I probably wouldn't check it out again.

Pretty good Korean food with a couple Japanese dishes also. They have all the typical Korean dishes like bibimbap, jajangmein, Kimball, etc. But they also have larger hot pot type dishes like budeajagea. It's clean inside and the staff is friendly. I tried a variety of dishes and everything was great.

A good option for Korean food. They have a big menu and many seemingly authentic dishes. I started with the KFC wings, and the wings were HUGE. I then had the galbi, short ribs, and they were also nice (not incredibly flavors but very nice). I also like the option of getting brown instead of white rice. On a whim, I tried barley tea and it was great, just ordered a box of barley tea bags from Amazon. Also, excellent and friendly service. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

Our latest take-out experience was not as good as hoped. On the plus side, our order was ready very quickly. The KFC was very good, as was the gimbap. Our entrees were also good, although smaller than in the past. The banchan, however, was very disappointing: in variety (only 4 items), quality (the fermented black beans were hard as a rock), and quantity (perhaps 2 tablespoons of each - if even that). Min Ga has always been our favorite local Korean spot, so I hope this was just an anomaly.

Food Quality: 3.5/5 (recommend seafood pancake, highlight of the entire order)Good quantity: 2.5/5 (My food in the photo was like $17, and it was more like a lunch portion imo)Price: 5/5 (taken into account all korean places are expensive here, this is still more expensive than most)So... do I think it was worth it?! You have the answer.Maybe this only happened bc of takeout. Will probably give Minga one more try when I dine in before losing faith completely!

I have been coming here for the past three years and can honestly say it has been incredible every single time. It's my favorite Sunday morning spot with my dad. He lived in Korea for 9 years and raves that MinGa is the most authentic Korean restaurant he has ever had in NC. The service is always exceptional, to the point I feel almost rude asking for anything because the servers are so good at anticipating any thing I might need or want. The level of spice is perfect for a seasoned spice lover yet not so extreme as to scare a novice away. The Dukboki is my favorite dish but we've tried just about everything on the menu and they're all 10/10s. I do recommend coming in for an early lunch when it's not too busy.
