For anyone craving a genuine taste of Korea, this restaurant delivers. It’s rare to find a place that balances such an extensive menu without losing the soul of the traditional recipes.

I was looking forward to trying this restaurant, because I frequently drive by it and had envisioned the food being tasty. But alas, reality did not match my imagination. I visited MinGa last Thursday and ordered a lunch special, specifically chicken bibimbap in a stone bowl. A bibimbap is supposed to have a cheerful, satisfying medley of flavor and texture. That characteristic is absent in MinGa's bibimbap. The chicken tasted unseasoned and the whole dish needed SO MUCH more flavor. Even the two additional sauces couldn't compensate for the lack of seasoning. I also ordered Yuzu tea as my beverage, which lacked fizz and, again, was very bland. On a positive note, their banchan was quite good—I enjoyed the kimchi and got satisfaction from eating the bean sprouts. I'd also like to give props to the waitress who served me—she was friendly and made my visit a smooth one. Ultimately, I wanted to write this review to send a message to MinGa's chefs and management, which is this: ADD MORE FLAVOR TO YOUR FOOD!!! If they were to ever make their food more flavorful, I'd be down to go to MinGa again! But until they do so, I can't recommend you pay them a visit. If you're ever craving Kore

The food here is pricy compared to its quality. The pickled radish in the sides was super salty. The seafood pancake was very thick with almost no oil. The rice in the stone bowl was too soft and watery. The beef bulgogi was okay but not special. As for the service, we waited for over 10 mins without anyone adding water or taking our order, even though the place was almost empty. I finally found out we can order by phone, but no one reminded us of that when we were seated. After I finished ordering, someone finally asked if we’d like to take order. We would not come again.

A nice restaurant with a good assortment of food although the dessert menu is lacking a little. There’s something off about the inside you don’t really feel like you’re at an Asian restaurant. The beef was thinly sliced and delicious. The rice was sticky and yummy. I could eat with my chop sticks just fine. The portions are too big. I think they should cut them back a little and reduce the price. We paid over $40 a person for our food. I was grateful to see they have Bingsu / Korean Shaved Ice in Chapel Hill but don’t think it compared to Grace Street or Meet Fresh. It was still good for a change from the typical American desserts I have. The server was nice.
