Gaya Korean Restaurant - Edmonton, Alberta

We had dinner at this cute little Gaya Korean Restaurant and ordered Shrimp Fried Rice, Gaya Squid (squid with vegetables in a house special's spicy sauce on rice), Fish Cake Soup (Korean soup with fish cake, rice cakes, egg, green onions served with rice) and Chicken Teriyaki (house seasoning marinated ... chicken with vegetables on rice). Everything tasted delicious and appetizing! They were very generous with their side dishes too and we enjoyed all the Spicy Kimchi and Bean Sprouts that we can eat. Staff were really nice and friendly. It’s sad to know that they will be retiring and closing their business soon. We wish them all the best! Read more

Such a cute lil restaurant by the university! The food always tastes delicious 🤌 and the soups are perfect for a cold day🍲my fav menu item is the gaya kimchi tofu!!

When requested, they are able to provide with good vegetarian options! Their Tofu rice is quite spicy 🌶️ but I liked it! Vegetarian Japchae bento 🍱 is a satisfying meal 🤤 Very pleasant service 🌸

This little Korean restaurant in the university area of Edmonton serves up delicious food for those that are seeking authentic fare. Gaya Korean Restaurant is a family run establishment on 87 Avenue. Their service is extremely friend and helpful. The space itself is a wee space with just a few tables and ... chairs. It's a very simple setup. The food was delicious. It's a smaller menu than some of the more established Korean restaurants in town. But what they do offer is wonderful! 4 x 🍛🍛🍛🍛 Read more

One of my favourite small, family run businesses in Edmonton! Food is authentic, delicious, consistent, fresh, healthy and affordable. My go to is the bul go gi stew, add soft tofu. It’s hearty, flavourful and perfect during the winter months. It really is a hug in a bowl, a very ... hot bowl. Their army stew is also delicious. I’ve tried most things in their menu over the years, and really you can’t go wrong with anything you order. Unless you don’t have a high spice tolerance, like me, then ask for recommendations. Portions are generous and filling, quality is consistent. Service is prompt, sweet and sincere. The place is clean, well kept, and a bit of personality. There are no restrooms in the restaurant itself, but you can use the restrooms in the hotel attached, which is very clean and with plenty of stalls. There are only about 6 tables for an intimate vibe, but they’ve also mastered take out options. This is a hidden gem in my opinion, and underrated for fantastic, authentic Korean cuisine. Read more
