Galla Park Social never disappoints! The vibes are always on point, but the food truly steals the show. The wontons were perfectly crispy on the outside with a rich, flavorful filling — absolute perfection in every bite. The crispy rice was a standout as well — golden, crunchy, and topped with fresh, flavorful ingredients that hit all the right notes. And don’t sleep on the ribeye — tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. It was packed with flavor and melted in my mouth. Highly recommend for both the atmosphere and the elevated dining experience.
