I love GIWA! I believed I tried everything beside the Soft Tofu Stew because I don't like tofu but I heard that dish is really popular. I highly recommend Kimchi Pancake (if you're a kimchi lover), Dak Bulgogi (if you're a meat lover)and Dol Sol Bibimbob. Most of their dishes can be vegetarian upon request.

And I've been to two korean restaurants in NE, the one on castor and other bbq around rising sun and that was not the "real deal." The meat was not fresh and barely seasoned.

That's Ms. Yoko to you, Eddie. We're not acquainted.

Name me some places you like, and I'd be willing to try them out. I didn't like the Korean restaurant on 69th Street in Upper Darby, though– unfriendly people, and thought the food didn't taste very fresh.

Giwa sucks!! Food is fast and terrible. It's about a authentic korean as the coffee I'm drinking right now.

Yoko-chan – If you like Han Wool, you're crazy! Pastoral isn't that much different.

Miran is a joke too!

All the Korean joints in Center City are horrible, so just head to NE Philly or Upper Darby for the real deal.

Went to Giwa for lunch. I ordered the non-dol sot veggie bibimbop– I had to get it to go and couldn't stay. I thought it was interesting that they packed it up for me such that the rice, vegetables, and hot sauce were in separate containers. The hot sauce I expected to be separate, but the rice and vegetables? The vegetables were in a bigger container than the rice, meaning I had to dump the rice into the vegetable container and mix it up– it was a little awkward. However, I thought it was tasty and a decent lunch. I would have liked more panchan as well (only 2), but I had figured this was because it was a to-go order.

I want to go back to try their kimbap and mandu, just because.

This site is explained about Korean restaurant. Building is nice and beautiful. I hope to develop better.

Thanks for the review– I had passed by the place when it was being renovated and had it in my mind to stop back when it was open, but forgot about it until just now.

Pastoral's my favorite place for Korean food, and Han Wool in University City's my second. But hey– I'm all about the options, so I'll be stopping by Giwa sometime soon.
