Authentic family style Korean diner. Most of the guests are Korean seniors. Help yourself with water and kimchi. Take the food and return the tray with no additional tips. The flavor in general is mild.

An amazing and authentic Korean restaurant. Every time we have visited, the food has been incredible! The staff has been friendly, and helpful when we needed help choosing items. I've shown the photos of our meals to friends living in Korea, and they have all said the food looks authentic and delicious! I love their banchan I want to try new things, but the dishes we've gotten so far have been so good, I just want to get them over and over! For some fellow Americans, you may be shocked at the prices (they're really not high, but higher than you may be expecting), but considering how much food you get (my daughter and I always end up getting two meals out of one), it's absolutely worth it! If you're looking to try Korean foods, please go visit this restaurant!! My family and I can't wait to go back Edited to add - the dolsot bibimbap (third picture) is AMAZING!! First time having dolsot, and I've been wanting nureungji for so long!!! Had I realized dolsot bibimbap gave me nureungji, I would have ordered it much sooner! Can't wait to go back!! 감사합니다! Edited again to add - pics of dongaseu and gochujang bulgogi

We stop by here every other week as the Seolleongtang/ox tail bone soup is reliable delish comfort food. The donkatsu is ample portions. The spicy radish and kimchi also are tasty. The service is fast and friendly and there is a self service water and kimchi replenishment station.

My first time here, but the experience really made me fall in love with Korean food again, despite me already being korean. First of all, the food was absolutely delicious! The Oxtail soup had all the aspects of my childhood in one little pot, and I couldn't ask for more! As for the Breaded Pork Cutlet, it was just as I imagined it during my childhood! So I guess the main reason for me loving the food was because of nostalgia, but don't get it wrong! Everything was scrumptious! Including the Tteokbuki! Spicy, but nice! The service wasn't much since it kind of works like a dining in experience at McDonald's, but the little interaction we had was kind and fulfilling! And the atmosphere to the place is cozy and good! Reminds me of all the other times I went to Korean restaurants when I was younger! All in all, I recommend this place! Would love to go back and enjoy the delicious Korean food again!

Very good Korean food (by Philly suburbs standards). Probably the best in this area. Everything seemed fresh and well made. Most patrons are Korean. Place is well suited for large groups as well as couples and small families. The dolsot bibimbap came in the hottest clay pot I've ever experienced, so the rice at the bottom was nicely browned and crispy as it should be.

I tried Galbi for the first time and truly loved it. The restaurant was business with a few seats opened and I was seated immediately. Drinks came and side dishes. It did not take very long to get my meals and it came hot! When it was time to leave, the were very helpful with packing up the food for me. The price was a couple dollars over other Korean restaurants but still within the range and worth it! It is definitely, a 2x visit kinda restaurant.

Found this restaurant today. It is very nice inside. We ordered the veggie pancake 야채 팬케 chicken katsu and bulgogi stone pot. The pancake was made with lots of fresh veggies. It was light and fluffy. The katsu was cooked perfectly and I can’t even say how delicious the sizzling bulgogi bibimbap was. Might be the best one we have ever had! The staff was very friendly. It was a great experience. Will definitely go back to try more dishes! Highly recommend!

My wife and I love Born Ga. Their yukgaejang and donkatsu’s delicious and the serving sizes are large. The owner and woman working in the front are very friendly and they always greet us and other customers with a warm welcome.
