The food was pretty good. Its not GREAT Korean food, but it does the job.

I ordered the kalbi bowl for delivery tonight. As soon as I opened the packaging, the smell was right on-point, of gochujang and kimchi. It was a large portion, so my hopes for a decent meal was excited to have comfort food for the blizzard slash snowpocalypse of 2017. It arrived on time with a kind delivery person, and all the components from the purple rice to the cucumber kimchi had great texture and flavor. I mean, who doesn't like purple freakin' rice?!? However, the main protein, the star, the core of my craving, the kalbi short rib itself? It was too well done, some parts actually burnt. Womp womp, indeed. How underwhelming! In fact, instead of being tender, fatty, and flavorful with marinade it was too chewy and dry. There want enough protein also, but I'm more disappointed by texture & lost opportunity. This restaurant is in the sweep of popularized manhattan's Korilla and jersey city's Kraverie plus Beechwood's Korean fare tickled in their menu. Sadly, at a $20+ tag with delivery fee, you can't mess up the meat quality. At that price point, it doesn't compare to the aforementioned spots in technique and attention to the proteins. Korean food and this bowl are meant to channel the tart, spicy, and savory concept of a bibimbop and it's obnoxious that the meat doesn't deliver. Why not cook the steak correctly? Perhaps, this is the downfall of the fast food bowl, but it's been executed by others. Was it my bad luck and their off day? Summary: Flavors are strong but texture of proteins need improvement to come correct. I'm surprised with all the positive reviews clad the stars. Maybe Hoboken has Korean food scarcity? Either way, treat the meat right, Gogi. It would make the difference of average to outstanding. You, me, and the meat, we all deserve more. I'll try you again and hold my breath for an isolated incident and improvement. read more

I'm in the heights area of jersey city ..cute delivery lady..she's like are you paying cash, I'm like no I paid with my card/PayPal..she's like oh because you didn't tip but it's okay...felt bad because I didn't have any cash on me and I thought the 3$ gogi was charging me for delivery went to you, my bad! Haha..NEXT TIME HUN! Lol..portions were ehh, but I always want more for portions because I'm a fat ass...good food, spicy the way I like it, felt like I ate all the chicken with two bites..the egg on top of everything oozing on all the ingredients in the bowl was everything! No need to sugar coat they are pretty pricey..but I'm all about the food quality and it was amazing...super delicious you heard! Facts though If you're a penny pincher this place isn't for you haha... read more

I come in here a few times a week. Bowls are not bad, but they changed the spicy bacon from finely chopped to huge chunks of fat. Pretty gnarly. Everything else is good, though. read more

This place actually surprised me! I wasn't expecting the food to be as yummy as it was....the bowls are packed with tons of options and the Korean BQQ idea is a new twist when I'm tapped on chipotle. You will not be disappointed at all! read more

Omg I love this place . Staff are awesome and always always greets their customers. Keep up the good work!! read more

Found this gem because my doctors office is right next door and let me tell you this place is AMAZING. Staff is super friendly and the food is great! I got a bowl with the Korean fried rice and spicy chicken ... they give you 4 toppings free and you have to try the kimchi ... both cabbage and cucumber with the cilantro sauce. Definitely my new go to stop! Not to mention the portion size is awesome definitely worth the $10 P.S try the purple rice! My boyfriend had it and we both loved it. read more

I chose a Bowl of spicy chicken, Korean fried rice along with the following 4 toppings...watercress, carrots, spicy slaw and cheese. Wasn't sure what sauce to choose from but the really sweet girl working behind the food bar gave me a few sauces to sample. I really enjoyed the green sauce-cilantro, lime jalapeño. I'm glad I stopped in for lunch. Will definitely come back again and try the ice cream too. I was too full to try today....next time ! read more

Was here couple of times, good food, everything looks fresh, healthy and tasted good. Only thing I felt bad is , they restrict on choosing veggies and even sauce and extra for each small thing. Overall experience is good. Small and nice place. read more

Got the fried rice bowl with tofu for my protein. For my toppings I got the sautéed onions, cheese, zucchini, and carrots. I chose the spicy lime cilantro sauce. I enjoyed the texture of the tofu and taste of the onions and loved how giant the portion was, esp for the price of $10. But in terms of overall taste, a lot was left to be desired. The food felt dry and bland. The service was great- the staff was kind and polite. Just didn't find the food very enjoyable read more

Interesting little place that attempts to combine the convenience of Chipotle with the taste of Kbbq. I was ecstatic when I heard a Korean-food restaurant opening up as the nearest one is miles away. Ordered a bowl with Korean fried rice, short ribs, and some greens. Service could definitely be better. I came in when there were no one there and everyone seemed busy prepping the food or something. After waiting a little while, I had to initiate for them to take my order. Once I made the bowl, they left it in the counter for quite a while. Although, they give a pretty good quality take-out bag. Price wise, I spent 12 on the bowl alone, decent. I asked them for green sauce and they either forgot or put a minuscule amount. Yet, the food still tasted great. Rice was cooked thoroughly and had good texture. The kimchi was slightly too much. Butter is fine usually, but I felt it overbearing as well. The ribs were slightly chewy. Definitely can't compare to a legit Korean barbecue. But at this speed and convenience, can't really complain. read more

Don't order from here. At least act like you care when my order is running super late, I called and got a deadpan "what about it?" Response Better yet, make sure the order is correct, because it wasn't. Conclusion: I was left with food I couldn't even eat almost 2 hrs later. read more

This place is basically like a Chipotle, but Korean-style. So far, I've tried their Bulgogi-Ribeye & Spicy Bacon bowls with Korean fried rice. Both meats were marinated really well, the seasoned rice was super fluffy, and they have a large selection of toppings to pair with your meats. The take-out bowls offer a generous portion - enough for light lunch the next day (and I can eat). What a great new addition to Hoboken - hopefully it'll stick around for the long haul! read more

This was an amazing find! It's like Asian Chipotle. The bibimbap bowls are perfect. We had Combo #2 - one with Shrimp and other with Ribeye. The ingredients were very fresh, the shrimp and beef were perfectly cooked. The red sauce is a hit!! Also loved the Green sauce. This is a perfect place for a lunch or a quick meal. The price is reasonable and quantity is lot. The kimchi fried rice is a must try! I'm coming back here for more bibimbaps!! read more

Food was meh and customer service was atrocious We ordered 3 bowls for delivery last night. ETA was 45 minutes the delivery took over 75 minutes. I called the restaurant after an hour to inquire about my order but the lady who picked up obviously could not care less about my order. Where's my food? "It left a while ago and I have no idea how much longer" Thanks lady, very helpful. The bowls were cold and meat was dry. Maybe the bowls are better warm and fresh but I'll never know. read more

Update to the update. i've ordered from this place 3x and each time the delivery has been 1.5 hour wait. I'm currently waiting for my order which has STILL not come (912PM now, ordered 740PM). Not sure why they keep sticking to their current delivery service, which you have to pay $2.99 for. Not worth the time! read more

Given the woeful lack of success of every other establishment that has been at this location over the past 10 years, I didn't have particularly high hopes for Gogi Grill. I was happily wrong. My husband and I love Korean food, so we decided to give Gogi a try when we needed a quick meal one night. There were a few other patrons there, but not many (it's more of a delivery/take out place anyway). We walked up to the counter, ordered, and had our food in hand moments later. Both bowls that we ordered were delicious - much more flavorful that a lot of the bimbimbap I've tried. I had the korean rice with spicy bacon and an egg (and a bunch of sides). My husband ordered the same with the short ribs. We will definitely order from here again - fast, inexpensive, convenient, and delicious. What more can you ask for? read more

We got take out last night and i had the bulgogi and my husband had the kalbi. We also got the kimchi totters. They were both delicious. They are also very generous with the dish sizes for the price. I didn't like the teriyaki sauce as much as it's a bit on the sweeter side. The Kalbi definitely tasted more moist and tender then the bulgogi. The kimchi was a bit spicier than I can take it but it was quite authentic. It's quite an interesting mixture of the cheese and kimchi on the totter but then it made it more soggier than the crispy flavor it originally had. I think maybe it would've tasted better if we had it there. Overall we did like it. I would try the chicken next time and hopefully it's not as spicy as I imagine it to be :) read more

This spot has changed food places so many times. It's good to see something good come along. Stepped in for the first time and was a little overwhelmed with picking the menu.. I finally got the hang of it and the food was great. I had a beef bowl with the vermicelli. All the toppings are amazing. Great lunch or quick dinner to go spot. Will be back for the ice cream read more

Try the kimchi on anything. Definitely good. The combination of sauces and veggies I took kept my dish a bit bland (lime cilantro sauce, zucchini, brocolli rabe, tofu) and creamy. But I'll definitely go again to try out the other combinations. Maybe they need I offer a smaller bowl for a lower price. read more

Gogi Grill is a welcome addition to downtown Hoboken. I've lived in the area for roughly 8 years and every new opening seems underwhelming, or repetitive of something else within a mile.... who needs more pizza or Italian restaurants? I don't. Happily I can add gogi to the mix! Came here on Friday for lunch and made a bowl with sweet potato noodles, spicy kimchi, and tofu. The quality was solid and the production line (think Chipoltle) was efficient. When we finished our meal we were offered a taste of their homemade ice cream, which was, A) a nice surprise, and B) really good. Perfect location and solid, quick food. I'll be a repeat customer for sure! read more

Fried chicken was great but the bowl was incredibly bland and the grilled chicken was very dry. Slaw didn't taste very fresh either.

Gogi grill is like chipotle you go in get a bowl and tell them what you want in it but it's so much better. The quality of the food is great especially the short rib. Everything is FLAVOR PACKED so think carefully about your add ins or it could get overwhelming with flavor where it loses what actually makes it great. They have some plain vegetable add ins which I recommend to put some crunch into your bowl since a lot of the other ingredients are slaw or pickled style. I've never gotten delivery since I pass it on my way home, but they are super quick so I suggest just stopping in to get it super fresh. read more

I dropped by to pick up lunch earlier today. We got a short rib and bacon burrito, a chicken taco, a tofu bowl, and rolled ice cream. The staff were friendly and I thought all of the food was delicious and good value for the money spent. That said, despite being the only customer placing an order at the time, it still took over 15 minutes to actually get it. I think part of that is likely because this restaurant is very new and the staff haven't really ironed out their workflow yet. I think they could improve by taking in the whole order at the start and working on each item in parallel rather than one at a time. Some sort of kiosk to enter the large set of meats, toppings, etc would be helpful! read more

Haven't been here. Ordered on Uber eats though. I got the Tofu soup and I must say I'm not impressed. Very salty and arrived cold. It's not even spicy. Only positive is the generous beef serving inside the soup. I lived in Korea for two years so I guess maybe my standards are different. I won't be order nor visiting here anytime soon. read more

Came here for dinner around 7:30 and there was barely a line! I ordered combo bowl #4, which has white rice, tofu, spinach, sprouts, cucumbers (I got the cucumbers without kimchi), radishes, and brown sauce. I love that the radishes were spiralized- so much easier to eat them that way! This bowl was delicious and extremely filling! I couldn't even finish it! I love how fresh all the ingredients tasted too. Can't wait to come back and try the tacos! read more

Terrific place if you want to get your Korean cravings quenched. There so many choices, and all of them are fresh and amazing. If you can't decide, the kitchen sink has little of everything. The Korean bacon is my favorite! And definitely add the egg... It just ties the whole thing together. They're constantly trying new things and adding to their menu too, so I can't wait to see what else is next. And don't forget to save room for dessert since they have rolled ice-cream in the same spot. Perfect place to grab a quick lunch and dessert (though it's just as great for dinner). If only I lived closer... read more

Pretty pumped to have found this place. Perfect for a quick bite on the way home and they have some good healthier options. We had the spicy chicken with the green sauce on top and it was beyond delicious- will be ordering again. The other half of the restaurant has rolled iced cream and MATCHA!! Yup, finally found my matcha spot and I couldn't be more excited. Also the staff at both counters were beyond pleasant and incredibly patient with us. It was our first time ordering and they took their time walking us through everything and gave us advice. While at the ice cream counter, I messed up my tea order and didn't ask for soy when I realized they went above and beyond to correct my mistake! I felt terrible but I'm grateful they were so nice about it. read more

I used to go to Gogi Grill 1-2 times a week. I was obsessed until...I brought one of my friends from out of town for a quick dinner. As we ate our meals, I told her mine tasted a bit off compared to normal, but I kept eating. Later that night, we were both horribly sick with food poisoning and I continued to vomit all the next day. After speaking with some friends who have also eaten there, they all had similar experiences. I always loved the food but I'll never go back and risk food poisoning again. read more

Pretty good casual eatery. I had their bowl with beef, spicy cabbage, spinach and carrots. Just walk up to the counter, pick out your protein and rice, add toppings, and go. The beef was sitting in one of those scoop out containers that are typically used for salad toppings, which I wasn't crazy about because sure enough when I sat down to eat the meat was a tad cold. The sauce options were nice though, restaurant was pretty clean, and the staff were friendly. I also liked their drink options in the fridge (Aloe Vera juices, plenty of healthy drink options). Price wasn't bad either. I'll be back again when I want a quick meal to take home. read more

Delivery took an hour and I'm​ not even a mile away. the food was very bland and got here cold

We ended up at Gogi Grill one late Sunday afternoon after day-long household chores on an empty stomach. We had bowls. Loved the spinach, radish and tofu. Cucumber Kimchi and sprouts were okay. Pros: -- Delicious and healthy (depending on carbs etc that you choose) -- Value for money -- Nice variation from the usual bowls available -- Helpful staff Cons: -- The rice serving is disproportionately large but you can always ask the staff in advance for small serving read more

My co worker and I ordered for the first time for delivery because we have never tried it. It was so good. We both bought bowls and it came with a generous amount for the price. Everything tasted so fresh. It was so good I was craving it again two days later and actually went to pick it up before work. Definitely a go to !!! read more

I used to come here all the time. Just went on Monday and was disappointed. Paid $13 for a bowl and received 4 cubes of chicken. I asked for double spinach and didn't even receive single spinach. I think it was the owner or manager who made my bowl. Trying to save pennies, they lost a customer. And the chicken was dry dry. read more
