“ A customer at work recommended this place and I can't agree with them more. I called in a pick up order. It was done right when they said it would be so everything was hot and it was delicious! I think it was the owner who took the order and rang me out. He is the nicest person and you can tell he takes pride in his business. I live in Sugar Grove but the drive was well worth it and I will be making the trip often! ”
“ What a delightful spot! The employees were so kind! It was my first time visiting here and the gentleman at the counter asked me a few questions and made excellent recommendations based on my answers. I hot the Gumii Bulgoli and Ttoekbokki. Soooo good. I’m used to spicier Ttoekbokki but the flavor was delicious. 100% recommend ”
“ Such a cozy place! The owner is so sweet and welcoming, the food gives the same comfort as a yummy home cooked meal. I keep coming back to this place! ”
“ Very kind owner! Clean restaurant with fresh made to order food! ”
“ For going on two years now, I've eaten lunch at Gumii almost every Saturday. Gumii feels like a warm hug in the form of food and never ceases to put me in a good mood for the rest of the day. The owners cook with love, enjoy interacting with their customers, and are eager to prepare only the best food for them. After I hurt my ankle, one of the owners even signed my cast! During times when Gumii wasn't too busy, I have heard the staff singing in Korean and laughing together. The cleanliness of the restaurant and calming music adds to the warm and friendly atmosphere. Finding better food is a nearly impossible challenge, I will always prefer Gumii! ”
“ Scrumptious food!!! and very good service! I’ve had rice cakes at plenty of other places, but nothing compares to this one. Perfect amount of spice and flavor. The texture too! Wow. The Kimbap is fresh and literally perfect. I loved everything I’ve tried from their menu so far. The cozy atmosphere makes each visit special and every meal feels like a treat. I tried Gumii when I was in the area randomly, and now I do a 45-minute drive just to eat from here. Also, Aia who works here is so sweet ”
“ Loved the food. It was good for the kids too. We have a 1 year old who loved the glass noodles (sorry to the staff, we know we left a few on the floor to clean up), and the beef bulgogi and rice is a great simple option to share with even a more picky 3 year old (has good amount of beef but also lots of mushrooms). Kimchi stew had some great kimchi sides and was a great soup. ”
“ Food were all delicious. You know its authentic when a Korean auntie and uncle cooks it in the kitchen with love and not in a hurry. Service was good. Takes a while for the order to come its because you know they cook it fresh. Atmosphere is cute. ”
