Reviews summary

In the vibrant landscape of Korean BBQ dining, one restaurant stands out for its exceptional food yet battles significant service issues. While dishes like fried chicken, bossam, and spicy soups earn rave reviews for their flavors and quality, patrons frequently report frustrating wait times and poor communication from the staff. Many have experienced long waits for tables, with some even being overlooked altogether. Despite its culinary merits, the establishment's inconsistent service and occasional denial of entry before closing create a disappointing experience for patrons. Overall, while the food dazzles, diners are left yearning for improved service to match the meal.

What Dada Adriano dislikes about Gilson Korean:

The Worst customer service ever!The server lose patience really quick while we were ordering food and asking his recommendations. His attitude was terrible and his impatience was clear from both his expression and words. Will never come. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Service: 1 View all feedback.

This is our group fav spot since they have the pork intestine (bbq/ spicy korean style) Really lack of employees, only 1 server (sometimes 2), they sometimes forgot your items and the dishes took long time to come to the table. We always order pork intestine and pork neck for the BBQ Recommended dishes: Pork Intestine and Bulgogi

It was very cold inside the store, and I didn't dare to take off my coat the whole time when I went there in January. I heard that the large intestine is the signature dish and it is indeed more delicious. The pork belly and beef are just so so, the portions are small. The octopus bibimbap and fried chicken are the same as those I have eaten in China. I won't come here again unless I want to eat large intestine. Service: Dine in

Really super late-night Bibimbap and open when your other decisions are fast food or Dennys. I'm sold.

This is the first time, but look at the photos, how delicious and fresh the food looks!We ordered fried chicken, which was very crispy, the meat tasted very good and we also had spicy beef soup and seafood tofu soup, which were all great. Although it is a little far away, we will definitely come again

Their bossam is the best! No pork smell and very tender. I have high standards for kimchi, but their Kimchi was very good. Pork intestine was tasty as well. Definitely coming back!

This is my first time here and this place definitely makes you feel like you are in Korea! The service was great and the server made sure if we needed anything and got us what we needed quick! They also bring you hot tea without charge. Definitely will come back here again and will try their Korean bbq. The food was alright, I feel like I’ve had better. Or maybe it just wasn’t my taste, but I would definitely try something else here again: . Also I love how late they open cause everything closes so early!!
