Brought the family to eat here based on other Yelpers. I must admit the place is clean and quite good. We ordered the spring rolls and enjoyed them. My daughter ordered the shrimp and ate them all with delight. My wife had the bibinbap. Although I can't say the place is authentic, this is the closest flavor we had to Korean food since living in Japan. I ordered the squid and was sucking up the marinade. Would definitely recommend the place.

This place seemed like heaven on earth after paying $17 for an omlette at IHOP earlier that day. The decor is simple and charming, the staff is friendly, and the prices are definitely reasonable.
The problem is, the food is...weird. I don't know how else to describe it. We got a few dishes, and it just seemed like the flavors hadn't had time to get to know each other. I guess not that smooth a job with the fusion part of the dishes perhaps. Let me try to explain....the calamari seemed like a frozen bag of calamari rings, that while fried to perfection still tasted pre-made, and like something we could have ordered at not only a korean restaurant but also a chain american restaurant, or greek place, or really anywhere. So a good way to describe it is that it was lacking that punch or definitive asian personality. Actually, everything we ordered (bibimbap, ramen, ojinga bokum, calamari) all tasted rather bland. It might be the location--everything in Niagara Falls seemed kind of watered down and catering to the less adventurous eater.
On the positive side, the pickled onions/radish/whatever it was was rather tasty and a beautiful presentation, and it was nice that the dishes weren't overpriced. I don't think we could have eaten any better in that city, so I'm not terribly disappointed--every other place we ate at was definitely worse and cost a lot more. -

If you want to escape the cookie cutter offerings of Niagara Falls - the American restaurant chains and attractions like Ripley's, Mme Tussaud's etc. Take a short trip from the strip to Gooee's and you'll be rewarded with delicious Korean food served in a smart room by honest, pleasant staff.
The beef was very good! -

if you're in the Niagara falls area give this one a try .. i was pleasently surprised by the food quality which can't be said about many of the other restaurants in the area .... it's a bit pricey but worth it (you might be able to find a coupon in some of the tourist papers)

Just ok. Their food is far from the authentic flavors but the portions are large. Affordable prices.

We got a little weary of eating heavy meat meals and salads so we tried this nice neat Oriental grill. I'm glad we did.
The staff was a total delight. The spring rolls were hot, crisp and superb. the Korean noodle soup came out still bubbling and was a delightful change from other Niagara restaurants.
The lemongrass beef skewers were actually little squares of filet mignon and melted in your mouth. It came with vegetable fried rice and mound of the most delicate cole slaw I ever ate.
They have a full bar. We had a half litre of house white and I had an after dinner Labatt's beer.
It was a delight having something totally different and getting away from the artery clogging food we've been pounding in our faces all this week.
Go, it's inexpensive and tasty and DIFFERENT!
A short flight of stairs sadly makes this restaurant not wheelchair accessible. But they have a lovely patio out front which is wheelchair accessible. -

This was probably the best meal of my vacation in Niagara Falls. Don't be fooled by the outside of this place -- the inside is actually quite nice. Service was excellent. But the food was absolutely AMAZING! Each bite was like an explosion of flavour. I could probably live off the beef bulgagi dish I ordered. Simply amazing! This place will be a definite visit next time I'm back at the Falls. 5 stars for this goldmine!

Delicious, affordable, and quick delivery. Highly recommended as an alternative to overpriced, craptastic hotel / chain restaurants. Ask for the kimchee.

Being complete tourists that we were, my friend Bianca and I had no idea where to go for lunch, but we at least knew we didn't want to end up in some chain restaurant that's spread throughout the entire continent of North America. Luckily Bianca had seen enticing photographs of some dishes from GooEe's on the internet, which she hadn't stopped talking about since we got to Niagara. So, we decided to try it. It was around 2 pm on Friday after noon, when we pulled up I was a little wary that the parking lot was empty, and so was the patio. But on we went. The ambiance was immediately soothing. The restaurant was furnished with style and class, I adored every little detail of decor that was here and there. From the lighting fixtures, that reminded me a little of IKEA to the narrow bookshelves that held stylish jars, you could tell everything was carefully planned.
But we came here for the food, so let's talk about that. After much debate between Bianca and I on whether we should share a few dishes so we could try as much as we could, we decided to each order our own. Then the internal debate in my own head as I tried to decide between the Don-Katsu which was pork and katsu sauce or the Tandoori Chicken. The chicken won, and I ordered this along with an appetizer of Spring Rolls to share while Bianca had the Lemon Beef Skewers.
Delicious. Both of them. I'm not a big fan of beef but I liked Bianca's skewers and as for my Tandoori Chicken, it was fantastic. The chicken was juicy inside and had that freshly grilled taste on the outside. My side of fried rice was just as good. It had a tinge of sweetness which differed from most fried rice I've had before and it worked. Everything blended well together, and with nice smooth, instrumental music of popular soft songs, I had a great experience. -

Me and my girlfriend had a junior presidential fallsview suite at the Marriott, so instead of spending crazy cash for one of the fallsview restaurants, we searched around for some places we could pick up food from and take back to eat overlooking the falls from our suite. The food here was very good, especially the appetizers (steamed dumplings and fried shrimp). The Bulgogi I got was also very good. Will come back here next time I'm in niagara.
