"there was just this awkward empty space in front of us where it felt like a table should be. that only happens in hotels. a real resto would never let that happen. half the excitement is people watching, and then you’re staring at an empty patch of carpet where a table should be."

"By far, the best burgers in Castle Rock. They go big on their portions and bold with their flavor combos. I 've been before but finally brought the wife, and we both left fully satisfied. My better half decided on the Cheesy Jane with sweet potato fries and said multiple times afterward how good her order was, proving they do a basic burger better. I went with the Slopper and was shocked how disgustingly delicious it turned out to be. It 's a grilled cheese, topped with a cheeseburger and smothered in pork green chili, guacamole, and sour cream. I had never had anything like it and marveled at how this magnificent mess ran over my hunger craving like a mack truck. On top of that, the service was great. They put on the Buffaloes game and gave us a to go cup for the remainder of our fountain drinks. Whether you want an old-school cheeseburger or a burger designed in a mad scientist 's laboratory, this place hits different. Highly recommend."

"To set the scene, it was Valentine’s Day, they had a pre set menu: soup or salad starter, sous vide steak premade, and dessert. (We were not allowed to order our $65 steak to our desired temperature as they were all made between MR and M) Two bartenders seemed to be working, and at least two servers were seen for a restaurant of about 16 tables mostly 2 tops. A host/manager was also on duty. We were sat on time by the manager and greeted by our server. Our server took our drink order and our choices from the menu. My drink was brought in about five minutes. And then we sat for 25 minutes without anyone in the restaurant speaking to us. The table next to us sat after I had received my drinks received their starters by a different waiter. When they received their second course, I tapped their waiter on the shoulder and asked if there had been some emergency with our server since we had not yet received our starters. He went and got the manager who came and introduced himself and asked if there was any problems. I told him that we had been sat for 30 minutes and had not yet received our soup. I received a sassy answer from him where he told me this was the first he had heard about it. I asked how long a starter should take, and instead of answering, he gave me a retort about how I have to understand that he didn’t know that there was any problem , when I continued to ask who he was, if he was actually the manager, and where our soup was, his response was that he could either stand here talking with me or get my soup, which did I want? Instead of our server bringing the soup, the Manager returned about seven minutes later with our soup, which should have been premade in a large vat in the back. As he sat down the soup I looked at him and said I just want to understand that I’m not getting an apology from you. At that point he said “I would’ve given you an apology but you didn’t let me speak.” And that I “had to understand and give him an opportunity.” When I’m paying $150 for dinner I don’t feel that I have to give a restaurant the opportunity to explain such poor service. I never did see our server again. We left then because we didn 't trust that service would get any better. Our server never did come apologize for the delays. The manager promised to refund our $50 deposit that we had put down for this special Valentine 's Day event."

"Koja Kitchen offers good customer service, earning an 8 out of 10, and the atmosphere is equally pleasant with cozy outdoor seating and warm golden lighting that creates a charming vibe. Unfortunately, the food was a letdown, scoring only 4 out of 10. We tried several dishes for dinner, but they all featured the same sauce, which was disappointing. The fries were too soft and lacked any crispiness. The Teriyaki Zen was especially underwhelming since they were out of regular buns that night and served fried rice patties instead. Additionally, we ordered two different burger buns but ended up getting two with the same meat. Overall, I'm unsure if I'll be coming back."

"Came here for lunch on a busy Saturday evening because most other restaurants were closed and Koja had one of the most interesting menus! I ordered the Ahi Tuna Salad (Ahi tuna, wasabi mayo, seasoned edamame, seaweed salad, imitation crab salad, green onions, masago, wonton crisps, soy ginger dressing) and fell in love! It was such a perfect balance of sweet and spicy and crunchy and just everything! The tuna was really fresh and everything went amazing together. I didn't have the soy ginger dressing because there was enough flavoring in the salad itself. I had also asked for extra greens on the side and they gave me so so much! Most restaurants only add a tiny amount but Koja did a very good job. I was very happy with this meal. I also got the Teriyaki Zen Koja (Soy and portobello mushroom patty, sesame vinaigrette lettuce, pineapple, teriyaki sauce, sesame seeds), and oh my gosh! Another beautiful one! The crispy rice buns were really so crispy and the overall texture and flavor and everything was just perfect That pineapple added such a good touch and this soy amount was just perfect and I just have no more words. Definitely definitely recommend this one! My boyfriend got the Chicken Bowl(Korean BBQ chicken, spicy gochujang sauce, kimchi, green onions, masago, sesame seeds, lemon wedge, fried onions) and he really did like this one. The chicken was good and ingredients or went well together as well. He had half rice and half salad and was happy with the meal as well. I tasted some of the chicken and it was quite good cooked just right and flavored well as well. He also had the Chicken Koja (Korean BBQ chicken, sesame vinaigrette lettuce, tomato, cilantro, spicy gochujang sauce, sesame seeds, lemon wedge). It looked quite massive and had the same chicken as the bowl. He liked it, but as far as flavor goes though, that Teriyaki Zen one was a lot better! I couldn't recommend it more!"

"This was a lovely spot to meet up with a friend. It had a very cozy and feminine atmosphere. I would definitely suggest trying the charcuterie board - it was fantastic. The service was excellent as well. On the downside, the meatball we ordered was a little dry. The location in Market Square has seen better days, so walking to and from the restaurant, especially at night, felt a bit risky. There were some rowdy kids who came into the restaurant and disrupted the peaceful atmosphere by running around and being loud. Despite that, the overall ambiance was still comfortable and enjoyable."

"It has been years since we last visited The Flamingo. We decided to try it for brunch this time. Unfortunately, the service was extremely poor. We waited for 20 to 30 minutes just to get our bill, which was frustrating. However, the real disappointment came with the portion sizes for the prices we paid. My friend ordered two vegetarian sliders that were only 2 1/2 inches in diameter for $15, while I had a papaya and shrimp salad that had shrimp cut horizontally to give the appearance of more shrimp for $18. The salad also contained a surprise hot pepper that was not listed on the menu, causing me to accidentally burn my palate. We ordered tea at the beginning of our visit, but one cup was only brought when our meals arrived, and the second cup arrived at the end of our meal, which we refused due to its high price of seven dollars. Overall, while the food tasted good, the lack of attentive service, excessive noise, and unrealistic portion sizes made the experience disappointing. We agreed to give it one more try to see if other menu items could change our opinion. The venue itself is fun and inviting."

"Breakfast was good but dinner was horrible. We stayed at the hotel for one night and sampled both. For breakfast we had the ham Benedict and the croque madame, both were tasty but nothing too fancy. Dinner was awful. Really some of the worst food I've had in a long time. Maybe we ordered the wrong things? My husband got the branzino which came with none of things advertised on the menu. The dish consisted of a gritty pea puree, lumpy mash potato and under seasoned fish. I ordered the vegetable gratin, which tasted like the water from boiled vegetables coated in a congealed white mush that was supposed to be cheesy? I've never had such flavorless Gruyère or maybe they forgot the Gruyère and it was just soggy breadcrumbs. The food was well presented but it was 99% presentation and 1% flavor. It tasted like it was made by someone who hates food but likes design. It reminded me of the bad contestants on masterchef who have googled French fine dining and tried to recreate it without tasting what they make. Also the portions were small and the prices ridiculous. We got the warm chocolate cake for dessert which was basically a chocolate lava cake without the lava. Everyone who watches cooking shows knows that making the lava requires a little bit of cooking skill, clearly this was above the chef. Our experience at the restaurant almost soured our whole stay. I think a unique hotel like this really deserves a better chef. I think the menu probably goes down well with people who like something to look/sound fancy, but it's not for people who actually like food."

"Delicious. Had the KoJa Original which is essentially a Korean-style short ribs sandwich where the buns are rice. Sounds weird and like it shouldn't work, but it very much does. The rice bun monstrosity holds together well but eating this thing is still messy business. The Umami Fries were okay, just not my thing. Too spicy for my likes, but I think if I had it without the red sauce that I would have liked it a lot more. Reasonable prices, nice location, good price. Would come again."

"I ordered the garlic parmesan wings, which looked fantastic on the website—covered in sauce and topped with parmesan. However, the wings we received didn’t quite match that description. We ended up using garlic mayo that we had at home. The photo was so enticing that I’m tempted to try again, but next time I’ll ask for extra sauce on the wings. I had high hopes because my fiancé and I have had good experiences at Lazy Dog, but the wings definitely needed more sauce. I also ordered the kung pao wings; they had the right color but could have benefitted from additional sauce as well. The fries were labeled as Cajun, but they tasted like the same seasoning used on the Cajun lime wings, which made them taste a bit like Tajín. On the plus side, the drinks were generously sized!"

"We were excited to try the Chinese neighbor restaurant because they offer a "vegan-friendly" menu with a decent variety of options. We ordered the veggie spring rolls, which had a good flavor overall but were quite oily. The same issue applied to our main dishes. The Mongolian tofu had a nice taste but was also very oily. The Hong Kong rice noodles were soft and delicious, served with roasted tofu and a small amount of vegetables, but once again, they were quite greasy. We don't usually cook with that much oil at home, so we found it hard to enjoy the dishes at this level of greasiness. If they could reduce the oil, it would really improve the meal, but as it stands, we probably won't return."

"Often on this app, you can’t tell what kind of place you’re ordering from unless you've been there before. However, this restaurant chain is amazing—I had no idea! The staff was fantastic, and I even ended up buying a case of beer, haha. The wings were tasty, though I wish I had chosen a different rub or wing sauce. The Korean Dry Rub really needs a citrus note to bring everything together. That said, the wings were still great! The Cajun fries were awesome too! I’m definitely going back for more beer... and food! Haha!"

"A few weeks ago, I ordered from here and had a disappointing experience. I didn't receive any drinks or silverware, and the vegetables were not fresh. Additionally, my wings came with Alfredo sauce instead of a side of ranch dressing. Everything tasted like it had been microwaved."

"When our food arrived, it was cold, and the chicken specifically was not up to standard. I informed the staff about the cold food, but she offered some unhelpful excuses, including that the sauce I supposedly added was the cause—though I hadn’t even touched the sauce yet. Frustrated, I took only a few bites before deciding to leave the rest of our meal on the tray. I had been really looking forward to this meal after reading the glowing reviews, so this was a significant letdown. I doubt I’ll ever return, and I wish I could get my money back or go back in time to choose a more reliable place, like Habit Burger or The Kabab Shop, that consistently delivers a good experience!"

"I've been a loyal customer of KoJa Kitchen for years, so I was excited to see them open a location on the Peninsula. Unfortunately, my recent visit was disappointing. The Koja was excessively soggy, with the rice inside resembling a mushy mess—much worse than rice pudding. The Kamikaze fries were only half the size they used to be, and the Korean beef BBQ, which used to come in generous chunks, was now reduced to just a sprinkle of ground beef. There was no kimchi included at all. Overall, the fries didn't impress. I think they either need to raise their prices and improve the quality or keep the prices the same and be upfront about the smaller portions. Either way, they should be clear about what they’re offering."

"A friend recommended Koja Kitchen to me, and I am so grateful they did! This restaurant is located in the Persimmon Place shopping center in Dublin, situated in the same parking lot as The Habit and Whole Foods. I am fascinated by the history of Koja Kitchen, which began as a food truck business before gaining recognition on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. My teenager tried the tacos, which were decent but not quite as exceptional as the original Koja dish - Korean short ribs in a crispy rice patty. Absolutely delicious! I also recommend trying the Kamikaze Fries. Parking can be a challenge during peak hours, so be prepared to circle the lot a few times. The decor is lovely, and there is a good amount of seating for a small restaurant."
