Fantastic meal. The dumplings were fried, stuffed, and crunchy. The picked veggies were satisfying and crunchy. I enjoyed the pan-fried squid in spicy sauce. It had such a great flavor and bite from the heat. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Korean Dumplings

Wa Gabose is an underrated dining option in the Rio Grande Valley and specifically in McAllen. After four visits I'm compelled to write this glowing review. I'll start with the atmosphere since it's no frills, they do have some plant decor and some Oriental partitions...Read More

For picky eaters who want to be adventurous, we recommend the chicken teriyaki (delicious chicken thigh with homemade sauce), ramen, bulgogi (soy and oniony beef), and maeun samgyupsal (similar chorizo-spicy pork). These are classic dishes where the adventurous part can be with the banchan (“small dishes”...Read More
