U.S. Citizen here, based in Washington State.
While I have never been to Korea, any U.S. citizen knows we havea huge Korean-American population here. So, with that said, I would imagine the Korean food I have eaten in the U.S. is pretty authentic.
Moving forward, I was interested to compare the style of Korean food here, and I must say, it is pretty comparable! Actually, it's possible that U.S. citizens would like this more versus the Korean food in the U.S. because the food here has been ameliorated to suit Colombian tastes. For example, the Kimchi here is not as potent or "smelly". The side dishes you get taste badically the same compared to the U.S. so 5/5 stars.
The meat was very good. The drinks were good. The service, excellent. The attentiveness, second to none.
It's possible that some of the bad reviews that were demonstrated were given because they expected it to taste the same as from Korea or the U.S. but I think if you can set that perspective aside and come with an open mind, it's actually...

About two months ago, I had the amazing privilege of tasting the wonderful flavor of traditional Korean food in the restaurant “Gogi”, located in Bogota, Colombia. It felt as though I was truly in Korea. The cozy ambience made you feel comfortable at all times.
The restaurant was Korean barbecue, meaning you were responsible of roasting your own beef and food depending on your taste, still, this wasn’t the only thing to have if you were to go.

You could also order some trendy recipes such as octopus or roasted pork.
To conclude, it was kind of a hit and miss for me trying this restaurant but it was definitely worth it. The opulent decoration and delicious food immediately made me want to try it again someday in the future. If you are an Asian food enthusiast, I would definitely recommend...
Read moreWe waited for more than an hour to be seated and we were only 2 people and then like 20 min for someone to finally take our order, the waiters were never checking in with us and they seemed to just be all over the place mostly paid attention to the bar area which seats people in line while they wait for a table, at one point I saw like 4 waiters in the bar, which makes no sense to me tbh because if your already waiting what's the issue with waiting a little more for a drink and having just one or 2 bar tenders work the bar? The food was awesome, but the service really took away from it. At the end we also were being overcharged with a type of fee that supposedly had to be paid, but it was already included in the cost and ended up having to add everything up and show them why we were not going to pay the already included fee. 2 out of 5 for the service but the...
