A few words from people who have eaten here recently.
“The food is extremely tasty, been there twice. That day, I was craving for Korean Cold Noodle and it made my day. The Udon Salad was always fresh and yummy. The waitress is really nice all the time.”
“Had Uber order. Chicken was so so so tasty!! Porkbelly was amazing. But food was just awesome!!”
“Love the food, had one of the best boiled pork belly with spicy japchae in Auckland. The shared dishes was amazing, especially with some beer or rice. It is more on the pricier side though. Will go back again. Good for a big party setting also. Make sure to book ahead tho, can get very busy.”
“Gganbu offers a cozy and quirky dining experience, with unique decor. The staff were incredibly friendly and happy, making for a welcoming atmosphere. The portion sizes were generous. The flavors were authentic and delicious, providing a true taste of Korean cuisine.”
