Restaurant Ganadara

My cousin recommended Ganadara so i could try their Korean version of ramen. It was 'ok' at best. But i did enjoy everything else. The menus dont have any pictures and the description of the dishes are vague and are basically just a list of ingredients. So what i did was showed the waitress photos from google reviews of what i liked to try. I was surprised how inexpensive it was to eat here, no wonder it's popular. And by popular i mean there's always a line to get in. We came in exactly at 11:30am when they opened and the place got packed instantly. The food is great, inexpensive, and very filling. But there's always and i mean ALWAYS a line up to get in.

The only downside of this is the long waiting line, especially if you're in groups (3 or more). Price is competitive, big portions, decent amount of meat and veggies. Service is fast even during rush hour. You can share it with friends to get to try more dishes. I came with 2 friends and we spend around $25 each, and we ordered food that's good enough for 4 people - but my friends are big eaters.... Be aware that the spicy food are pretty spicy!

The food is good and authentic Korean. It's affordable and well located. The place is tiny. So there's a line up if you arrive after noon. I got there at 11:30 today and there were only a few tables left and then by the time we left at least 20 people were lined up outside the door. The waiter was great though and accomidated a somewhat demanding friend with a smile. The service, food, and speed with which I was served was fantastic.

Honestly the first bite of the popcorn chicken had me wanting so much more. Every dish we ordered was so flavorful and if I wasn't so full by the end of it, I would have wanted more. I can understand why there's ALWAYS a line out the door. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side but that really doesn't stop anyone from eating here. Service is nice and efficient and food arrived in a timely manner. All dishes ordered below are as named: - Cheese chicken katsu (you can never go wrong with this combination of food - fried pork dumplings (super tasty and the sauces drizzled on top make it even better) - tobboki (I really enjoyed the veggies and the rice cakes, note it is spicy) - popcorn chicken (by far my favourite dish, I could eat the whole plate if I wasn't with friends! Haha, very light and crunchy) The lineup is definitely worth it!

We went pretty late (9:30) for dinner but there was still around 20ish minute line up. The restaurant is small so it can only accommodate so many people. The food was very tasteful and really good. The portions were great considering the price. Really good prices for everything. Food seemed like good quality. And was pretty spicy which was great for me. The fried chicken was very good as well. The service was pretty fast. Servers were very nice and helpful. And the rest of the staff was very friendly as well. Overall, highly recommend it and would return.

Nice atmosphere and decent service. I ordered the bulgolgi bowl and it was pretty good, although it could have used a little more seasoning. I'm not sure if it would be worth waiting in line for, but I came in during lunchtime, so it wasn't too busy. Overall, I would recommend this place if you're craving good Korean food
