    Ohhhh yeahh.... This was an absolute treat. All-you-can-eat here is a good deal if you're serious... like me. The meat quality is great, especially for AYCE. There are a ton of great side dishes part of the AYCE menu, and I opted for the steamed egg and tofu stew-- so happy with my choices! All of the side dishes were great too, I loved the kimchi here, you can tell it actually fermented well by the punchy flavor. The service great, they bring out the food quick, which is exactly what you want for a timed AYCE deal. Definitely expect to leave smelling very strongly of smoke, but also very, very full. Lots of parking, and there was 0 wait on a Saturday night! Definitely worth it if you're in the area and craving KBBQ (especially if you're tired from a day at Universal... that's what we did and it was SO good).

    Variety of meat and the kimchi soup with ramen. Fire

    Ayce gogi has to has the best quality meat I've had at any kbbq place. They're all so flavorful and don't have that heavy meat taste that all other place have. You actually see the chunks of meat or chicken and not just a bunch of fats and oils marinated. Service is normally good but I like to sit in the front because I find that they tend to check in on your less often when you're in the back of the restaurant. Super cool place that keeps you or the kids busy while waiting with their pinball machines. All meats are great but my favorites are the spicy chicken, spicy bulgogi, black pepper beef. Make sure to always get extra pickled jalapeños in the brisket sauce, Bombay! Sides are all great but no matter how full I am, I will always get the kimchi soup and ask them to add ramen. FIREEEEEEE

    One of my favorite kbbq spots in the valley. Staff were nice and attentive and kept checking on us. I really enjoyed their brisket here, the pepper beef, spicy tofu soup, japchae, and their ban chans- potato salad, and the spinach. I love that their meat is quality and it's affordable as well. Such a casual vibe with great staff. Everything was so good. One thing only - the grill that we had kept turning off everytime we do a grill change and we felt bad asking the staff everytime to turn the fire back on again again. Otherwise yummy yummy food.

    This place is mid at best! Our grill kept burning all our food! I understand we're in charge of cooking our own food but it would burn so quick... They had to change the grill at least 5 times in less than 40 mins we were here. And they even turned it down. One side was cold and the other side charred everything to a crisp. I also had one of their soups and it was super salty. I will say my friend really enjoyed the chicken fried rice and I like the shrimp shumai. Also, it is definitely not worth the price!! Very little options. You have to pay for each premium item and no free dessert like I'm used to in places in vegas

    Cook your own The place was pretty busy even late on Sunday. The staff was friendly enough and use team work to serve. We had to flag people down for refills or more food sometimes. It's a busy place . Our party of seven ordered lots of spicy bulgogi, pepper steak , calamari and chicken . The meets and marinades were good. They added an 18% charge on top which was a surprise.

    After visiting my brother at the cemetery for his 5 years death anniversary, we all decided to have lunch together. The wait was about 30 mins on a Sunday afternoon around 12pm for a party for 15. Juan the host was amazing. He was very attentive, kind and great at multitasking. Our server was amazing too. I just can't remember his name though. He was very attentive, quick on his feet, had good memory and polite. My annoying nephew wasn't hungry until we were all about to leave. We all thought we were done until my nephew ordered 2 beef belly, pork belly, steam egg, rice and etc. The waiter bought it out with a smile on his face. He didn't even judge him. (Eventhough I was lol). The only down side was that they didn't have the cilantro, onion tomatoes salsa. I usually order 3 along with my meats. Love the yogurt ice cream that we had to get 2 to-go. Thanks for the great customer service today. We had a blast. We will definitely be back soon.

    I absolutely love this place. I've been coming here for years & it's definitely my go to Korean spot. The sides are SO good! It's easy to get carried away in sides lol Usually get the brisket, bulgogi, pork belly, peppered steak & it never misses. We always ask for onions & jalapeños + salt & pepper which makes the food have so much more flavor! The bacon fried rice is too tier. Service is typically good but can be hard to grab attention of our server when it's busy. It's a nice spot with pin ball machines in the waiting area & in a back room. I believe they even hold tournaments sometimes. Definitely worth the try!

    The service here is ok. The food here is ok. The inside is ok. Everything is ok, but if you want better, try their newer location in west hills.

    I had the most amazing first impression of Korean barbecue here at AYCE gogi!!! Yes, it was my very first time having kbbq this past week! It was perfect for a girl like me who was just craving all types of meat. My absolute favorite was the garlic steak!!! If you're a garlic lover you'll looove this! And if you don't really fw garlic, you'd hate this! The gyozas were sooo good and so was their chicken fried rice!!! I recommend heavily. And for it being 30 $ per person, we definitely got our moneys worth! SO MUCH MEAT ps. The complementary froyo at the end of your meal is genius, perfect touch. OH- and they have pinball machines!!!!!! (More in the room in the back, 50¢ per play)

    Anyone who likes this place has never had actually good KBBQ. I knew it from the moment they brought out this pico de gallo Banchan and no kimchi. It only got worse from there. Never again.

    Really solid place, one of the best KBBQ places I've been to. Our party really liked the banchan at the beginning. We got a great booth that was comfy and felt separate from other parties (we were in the corner) so private in comparison to most other kbbq places, and the waitresses were very attentive in changing out our cooking trays. Service was great and food was tasty. Sauces that came as the side were very good. Beef tongue 7/10 - have had better, I feel like this wasn't the highest quality beef tongue I've had. But still beef tongue Brisket 10/10 - Absolutely delicious. Best brisket I've had at KBBQ. Not too fatty, perfectly tender, super thin sliced, must get! Kalbi 6/10 (for me) - Too fatty in my opinion, with chewy fat pieces even when done crispy. But also a 8.5/10 Most of our group loved it, was a lot of people's favorites. Octopus 3/10 - Most of us didn't like it, I found it too chewy and fishy, one of our group loved it though. Pork Belly 3/10 - Wayyyy too fatty Beef gyoza 8.5/10 - Fried very well and super tasty with the sauce that comes with the all you can eat (the one they come with is meh) Spicy Garlic Noodles 4/10 - Really not that great, what it sounds like though. Udon noodles in a spicy red garlic sauce. Would not get again Jap Chae (glass noodles) 8/10 - Would definitely get again! Great flavor and noodle texture, I'd recommend Fried Oreo dessert 9/10 - Definitely recommend these were great! Only thing I got a picture of Overall priced fairly and tasty, would definitely come back!

    Let's start off by saying the weekend wait is longgggg! We were a big party, so that's probably why but we waited over an hour and it's too hot to wait inside. And outside is obviously too hot too. After we were seated, service was quick! All the meats were really good but the short rib was my favorite. The sides are good but I wish they had more sides options. Overall, I'd definitely come back during the week. Parking is easy shopping center free parking

    I don't think they do. Shut you can always check the menu on their page

    Does AYCE Gogi do Reservations?

    They only accept walk-ins, no reservations

    Did they remove the feature to place yourself on the list to be seated thru yelp? I can't find it.

    Yes we did, it was very problematic for us and we had to remove.

    Can't get anyone to answer the phone, are there different hours surrounding Thanksgiving ? The hours on Yelp says they close at 10, trying to make sure an 8:30 seating is ok.

    Sorry, we are closed Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Happy Holidays

    Do they have pickled radishes?

    Is their phone number working? I try calling them but get a message that their mailbox is full and can't receive a message.

    They're just busy and sadly, you'll have to keep trying. I was able to get through after a few attempts. You will have to understand that they are a very busy establishment and they also have hood systems installed at each table, as well as music,… Read more

    No more outdoor dining.

    Is vaccine card still required?

    Not required

    What's the biggest party you can take?

    From my own experience, I went with a group of 8 and we had to sit at two tables. There is one long table in the middle where they can put/remove partitions to accommodate larger parties, but I wouldn't come here for a large party.

    Hello. We call here all the time and the line seems to be disconnected?

    We are closed Christmas Day.

    Do you need to show proof of vaccination to enter/dine?

    Yes they are asking, but not always!

    Very lowkey LIQOUR spot…read more It's definitely a good spot you wanna go to for some booze. Very clean place. The staff was pretty cool friendly and helpful. My first time here and they make you feel welcomed. Very good variety of drinks I'll be back when I'm in the area it's just nice in there and big selection.

    I live in Lake Balboa and have been a customer at Vintage since they were the Wine & Liquor Depot…read more I've always been grateful to have a store in my neighborhood with a wide variety of options and a knowledgeable staff. Unfortunately, tonight I had a bad experience at the store. I usually go there for craft beers. But a couple months ago I stocked up on some white wines. One of them described itself as light and crisp on the back of the bottle, which is in our taste wheelhouse. Well, we've had the bottle for a couple months and when we opened it last night it was a deep golden brownish color and the nose immediately let us know that the wine had turned. I poured the glass back in the bottle and put it back in the fridge. This evening I came into Vintage with the bottle and saw two staff members. One of whom I'd dealt with multiple times. They were watching the World Cup game on their TV monitor. I greeted them with a friendly hello and inquired about the game. Then I told them that I'd purchased a bottle of wine that had turned and asked if I could be credited. I didn't have the receipt but I'm on their points program and I knew they'd have a record of the sale. The person I'd dealt with before shot a look to their co-worker as if it was an odd request. But the look on their faces said they thought I might be trying to get something over on them. They went on to let me know that they have a zero return policy on alcohol. I told them I understood but that they sell expensive wine and surely if someone spent a lot of money on a bottle and it had turned that they would take the product back. The response I got honestly made me feel like they didn't understand the concept of a wine "turning". They suggested it might be accommodated in the form of wiring me money but it needed further approval. I told them to forget about it. To keep my wine and the money. It wasn't the money it was the poor customer service. I paid for my beer and left. I wouldn't have minded them getting clarification from a manager on the issue. But the vibe that was given back to me was that my request was not legit. Earlier I said that I appreciated their knowledgeable staff. But there has been some turnover in recent months and the people I used to rely on for suggestions haven't been there in quite some time. If your staff is educated enough to know the zero-return policy they should be educated enough to know that some wines go bad and that customers aren't being difficult for returning the bottle. Sadly, they've lost my business.

People really need to learn a little patience because she's clearly doing her best

    Wow, this place has some of the worst customer service in the entire city!!…read more Didn't realize it until we had an awful experience and then started reading reviews after the incident. Called the store to find out about a specific product & the girl immediately dismissed it saying they didn't have it without obviously checking and then she hung up without warning. Called back and she had said she thought the call was resolved and we told her we were just making sure that she actually spelled the product name correctly and actually checked the system and shelf which she assured us she did even though it was impossible in the amount of time. She was very obviously just telling us anything!! Luckily my husband had been there a few weeks earlier and found the exact product that she assured us they didn't have and so we went ourselves anyway and sure enough...found the product in multiple varieties right on the shelf!! Not only is this lazy employee,that may be named Yoselin according to the receipt, costing the store potential sales, but she is rude and lying toward paying customers!! All we can do now is hope hard that a Total Wines and More finally moves into this area!!
