Great food and good prices.

As Daniel said, this place is great. I'm always worried about how much food costs and very rarely have a chance to eat out, but when I went to Gaza we got a ton of food that was pretty damn good. I actually went to Korea and had BBQ there, and this place made up for the comparative lack of quality of meat with the bottomless supply of meat. Don't get me wrong, the meat is still delicious, but it's pretty top notch in Korea! I find it important to mention that they play Korean music in the place which I love since I'm into Korean music and it's nice to actually hear the music that matches the food rather than typical American pop radio which consists of four or five songs. All in all, great food and tons of it, great music, and unless you're a sad little man, great people to eat it with!

Cheap? No. Delicious? Yes. I'll just write my own honest opinion after my first visit there. If you do want to eat at Gaza, be prepared, the menu isn't cheap. Starting around $10 for a lunch entree, the prices only go up from there and can run you up to $13 for a single dinner entree. The unlimited dinner can run up to $27 per person for a massive tray of meat you grill yourself and it cannot be finished by two people. They do charge $10 extra for an excessive amount of leftovers on the unlimited grill to deter waste, but it seems fair on their part. Now here's the best part; most reviewers complain about the 18% gratuity, this is a noted item that is printed in the menu ONLY for the unlimited grill and this was mentioned to us as they brought our checks. Going late is not a good idea since they close up at 9:30 so service can be rushed even at 7:30. Service was fair for us since we arrived with a group of ten. Overall, this restaurant has a semi-tense atmosphere with prices that would make Kokoro's chef Tony scoff at.

This place has horrible service and is overpriced!!!! The staff treat you like crap, seriously. Everytime I ask for refill on water or anything, the waitress seems to give my date and I nasty looks. Honestly if your not Korean, they treat you like garbage. I get better service from McDonalds. As for the food, it wasn't too bad, but the bad service and atmosphere at Gaza ruin the whole experience. Never go there, unless your Korean, maybe you will be treated better.

Honestly, where else can you go for unlimited Korean BBQ? The first two reviewers are imbeciles. I have frequented Gaza and have experienced varied service (sometimes slow sometimes prompt, but always courteous). It is expensive, but you get what you pay for. With the unlimited grill options, you receive four random sides, always including a sort of kim chi, along with a spicy miso soup, and an egg and onion side. Compared to other Korean BBQ restaurants I have been to in Chicago, the meat is slightly lower quality perhaps (you have no option of chicken however in the unlimited grill, so I haven't tried their chicken), but again, the amount of food you can order is well worth the price. I would not be surprised if they refilled the sides if you asked them, however there is so much food I have never bothered asking. It is also worth noting that the perceived difference in meats compared to other Korean BBQs I have been to could be attributed to Gaza's use of gas grills as apposed to charcoal. On one occasion when we did not order the unlimited grill, the waitress kindly served us a seafood hotpot by cutting up our squid for us and explaining how to manage the heater. Though it is hard to beat the unlimited grill, the hotpot was excellent, and quite spicy, containing squid, crab, and other seafood. I have eaten at Gaza at least 10 times, and do not remember having a problem with a tip. I believe the check includes a list of tip suggestions, however, which perhaps confused the other reviewers, because they seem to be unwilling to pay an average amount of money for Korean fare. Don't go to a nice restaurant if you're a stingy bastard who describes a waiter as a "male servant". LOLS. ***Since my last review they have undergone renovations, and changed from booths to chairs (a big help for not banging your knees against the grill) and electric grills (nicer, but not terribly different than gas). The food is even better. Larger brisket, more sides, and the kim chi is now on the top of my list of kim chis. I may have gone on a particularly good day, but it seems all of the items in the unlimited grill have been tweaked closer to perfection.
