"The back side of a brick building shared by a mini-market and CBD store hides the entrance to Gaja Korean Bar. There’s a tiny sign with red lettering above the door, but it’s easy to miss if you haven’t been to this EAV spot before. No windows, concrete walls, and mustard yellow neon lights make Gaja feel just as secretive inside. Few things on the small plates menu cost more than $15 and everything is good enough to tempt you with a second round. So the move is to order until your tabletop disappears under dishes. Just make sure you get the beef bulgogi, the best on this side of I-20." - jacinta howard, juli horsford, nina reeder
