Choga Mexicali — Restaurant in Baja California

Es la segunda vez que voy y en ambas ocasiones prácticamente nos corrieron al llevarnos la cuenta a nuestra mesa sin ni siquiera pedirla ni terminar de comer, la primera vez lo ignoramos y ok, hoy volvimos a ir y resultó peor, la verdad no era como que solo hubiéramos consumido una entrada o una ramen, éramos 3 y el consumo fue arriba de $1000 y aun teníamos comida en la mesa que no nos habíamos terminado y ni siquiera considero que hayamos tardado mas de 2 horas en el lugar como para que nos echen de esa manera jaja ni en bufet te hacen eso, para ser la 2da vez que voy y que se repita esta acción definitivamente me quita las ganas de volver a ir y de ni si quiera recomendar el lugar a mis conocidos y menos hablar bien de el, agregando que esta última vez el señor koreano nos quería arrebatar prácticamente el dinero de la mesa (sin ni siquiera decirle que ya estaba listo el dinero para que se lo llevara) mi amiga detuvo el tiket con su mano y le dijo “disculpe permítame un momento” ya que el total de la cuenta aun no estaba completo, el señor solo nos miro muy feo y se retiró hablando en koreano jajaaj sabe que diría… fue muy incomodo y grosero. La misma mesera se disculpo con nosotros diciendo “disculpen así sin los jefes” la comida esta buena pero a mi gusto demasiado cara para la porción que ofrecen, $700 pesos por 500gr de panceta… me pareció curioso que aun a pesar de los detalles el lugar se llena bastante, no se si sea mala suerte la de nosotras o a todos los clientes los corren de la misma forma, pero la verdad no regreso y no...

Mexicali 장기 출장중 한국 음식이 생각날때마다 방문 한 곳. 방문할떄마다 힐링이 되는 곳

Food: 주로 삼겹살, 김치찌개를 시켜 먹으며 둘 다 맛이 정말 훌륭하다. 특히나 가끔씩 삼겹살에 구워 먹을 수 있도록 김치를 주는 날은 너무나도 행복 하다. 그 외에 떡볶이, 오징어볶음 등도 한국에서 맛 볼수 있는 정통 한국 식당이라고 생각된다

Atmosphere: 외국에서 방문하는 한국 식당의 분위기. 편하게 친구, 가족, 동료와 부담없이 방문 가능 한 곳. 항상 현지인들로 북적 북적인다. TV에선 K-Pop이 항상 나오며 실내는 매우 시원하고 쾌적하다

Service: 한국인 사장님이 고기를 항상 맛있게 구워 주신다. 직원들 또한 매우 친절하며 한국말을 잘하는 직원도 있었다.

너무너무 맛있어서 재방문 확률 100% 항상 힐링 되는 곳!!

A place I visited whenever I missed Korean food during my long business trip in Mexicali. Every visit was a healing experience.

Food: I mainly ordered samgyeopsal (grilled pork belly) and kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew), and both were truly delicious. Especially on days when they served grilled kimchi with the samgyeopsal, it made me incredibly happy. Other dishes like tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) and stir-fried squid also tasted like those from an authentic Korean restaurant.

Atmosphere: It has the vibe of a Korean restaurant visited abroad. It's a place where you can comfortably visit with friends, family, or colleagues without any burden. It's always bustling with locals. K-Pop is always playing on the TV, and the indoor environment is very cool and pleasant.

Service: The Korean owner always grills the meat deliciously. The staff is also very friendly, and there was even a staff member who spoke Korean well.

The food is so delicious that the likelihood of a return visit is 100%. It's always a...

Really good Korean food. As good as places back in Orange County California. The staff were super friendly and my food came out quickly. They grilled the pork belly in front of me and had a lot of good sides.

I came back a second time for lunch and got the Kimchi Jigae soup. Next time I will get the Chico for 1 person and not the Medium which is intended for 2 persons. It was super flavorful and full of tofu and meat. Really...
