What User likes about Gaon:
Tonight, we visited Gaon and had an incredible experience, not just because of the delightful company, but also due to the delicious food and attentive staff. We ordered the marinated meat selection, which included beef and chicken, and the meal was enjoyable and interactive. The staff were incredibly helpful when we mentioned it was our first time trying Korean BBQ. While the prices may appear a bit high on the menu... View all feedback. What Patrick Molloy doesn't like about Gaon:
Somewhat disappointed in our first foray into Korean BBQ. The entrees were decidedly coldish and my main arrived before my entree. Lots of carbs and few vegetables. Although visually appealing the food left much to be desired. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: NZ$50–60 Food: 2 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 View all feedback.
