For a dinner and for flavor not so much. Some of the meats had no flavor at all and needed salt while cooking. I think if it was not so loud a space, and I'm not talking about the pinball which is really cool and in the other waiting area's and the side bar which was nice. But more the whole room is just tight and loud. We were put in a corner space which wasn't as bad. The wait staff was pretty good, our main waiter would come and check on us occasionally, but the food came out really fast which was nice. But they didn't do the refill on kimchee's or drinks enough. All in all I have had better at other places of all you can eat, taste wise, and cost wise. I would go again just to play pinball for sure. read more

AYCE Gogi was always my go to place for kbbq. I give 100% on their food, from Banchan, side orders and meat plus their frozen yogurt after eating. I was just sad when I ate there last January 30, their score for me was 5stars but this time it's only 4 stars , they took out their frozen yogurt. I look forward to it. read more

I ordered two items from takeout and the containers were not marked at all. No way to tell what was inside, which made it impossible to tell who got what. Also the meat was seasoned with too much sugar and a good portion was overcooked to the point of being charcoal. The japchae was soft, had no consistency and not enough vegetables. Furthermore, the website takes you directly to Grubhub so I paid significantly more than if I called it in. I will not be ordering from this place again. Next time I want Korean, I'll drive to K-Town read more

Been coming here semi regularly and by that I mean every 2-4 months. ALWAYS I repeat ALWAYS amazing food, EXCELLENT waitstaff!! Everyone is very helpful and works together and they are polite and upbeat! The food is too good! It's THEIR FAULT I got extra lbs on my chassis!!!!!!!! OUTSTANDING!!!

AYCE Gogi - VAN NUYS - About to DIG IN to a working lunch! - Korean Near Me - Van Nuys, California

This place has pretty good quality beef. We mostly ordered bulgogi and brisket. They were not stingy with the meat or the kimchi (our group eats A LOT of kimchi, lol). The service was excellent, coming back to refill our drinks and ask if we need more meat. The server even made some recommendations, which was great. There's tons of parking. read more

The food is delicious! I recommend getting spicy kalbi and black pepper beef. Service is really good too! Sometimes they take a while but usually because it gets packed. Ayce is definitely a go to on my list. read more

Such a fun time! Aside from the fact that the food is tasty the environment is also great. Our servers were very nice, they walked us through how to cook everything since it was our first time. Kinda pricey, but if you're looking for good food and a good vibe this place is great. read more

Had to remind server of our kimchi fried rice 3 times. Gyozas do not taste good, very low quality. Fried rice is mushy. Spicy bulgogi is not bad. Servers were friendly but service needs improvement. For example, the sauces were all brought late and then just left stacked at the edge of the table. Food is eddible, but wouldn't recommend. read more

This spot used to be one of our go to AYCE KBBQ in the Valley. Came back earlier this week and was bummed out of how much has changed. Quality substantially changed, prices went up, and service was confusing. We got orders from other tables and other tables got our orders. The quality of the side dishes and meat isn't worth it. With all the new AYCE KBBQ places popping up in the valley, I wouldn't opt for this one. read more

I'll start off with where my expectation was. We are very familiar with K-town Korean BBQ, so I guess this is where my expectations fell short. Food - probably 2/5, it's just ok. Service - 3/5 could be better, but they are just running on many tables. Ambiance - 2/5 very claustrophobic, super loud, no windows. Feels like an old arcade with all the pinball machines they have there. Price - 3/5 Expensive for the quality. The biggest issue is the lack of cleanliness. ALL of their grills are clean at the top and bottom, but the grooves accumulate so much burnt fat from all the grilling. I had to replace a "clean" grill 3 times before the waiter found a decent one. read more

Really like this place. Thought the food was very solid and it's a really good value for 39. Drunken noodles, gyoza, all it was great. Really fun place too, packed for a Sunday night which tells you something. read more

Fantastic Korean BBQ experience! The meats were fresh and flavorful, grilled perfectly at the table, and paired wonderfully with the beer selection. Friendly service, great side dishes, and a lively atmosphere made for an enjoyable dining experience. read more

If you're a side person, they're not good AND they don't have many options. The meat options and taste were okay, definitely a place you go to if you absolutely can't go anywhere else. The ambiance isn't as cool as many spots I've been to. The ambiance isn't cold.. Service was actually alright! read more

Food is always top tier! The workers are chill. Whether eating inside or pick up my food is always made fresh.

I've been here before a handful of times, and would end up waiting a bit to be seated. Got lucky today, and got seated right away for a party of 4! As soon as we got seated our grill was turned on and beverages were brought out. Our food was brought out just as fast as the order got placed. Service from the staff was excellent! Our waitress, Melissa and her peers, were constantly coming over to check up on our table and made sure we were doing well, or if we wanted to order more food. Our grill was frequently changed as soon as is started to get chard/burnt. As well as our empty plates quickly being taken away to make sure we had a clean table. Definitely recommend coming here between 4pm-6pm right before they get swarmed and busy. The only thing I will say that I did not like were the restrooms. The stalls had a giant gap which left minimal privacy. read more

The best great sides, exclusive kinchi fried rice is amazing & excellent choice cuts.

Food was good, portions were just right, beer was cold and kimchi and sides hit the spot and all for a decent price for ayce these days, come here, play some pinball and enjoy your meal. read more

I think this place is worth it if you are in the valley. They have a large selection of meat choices and sides. However, the service is not the best. My parents and I came here on a Sunday afternoon (before it got busy). We got seated right away, and they took our first order instantly. After placing your order, the order comes out so fast, especially the meat! Some food items, such as the fried foods, take a little longer for them to come out because on the menu it states "made fresh to order." The guy who was serving our table did not stop by once at all, but came by the other tables next to us. This was really frustrating because he STARED at our table and saw there was no more meat, but did not even ask if we wanted more to order. From that point on, we had to flag any person we saw just to get more food. That was disappointing. On top of that, the guy forgot to place some of our sides in so we never got them. For 3 people, it was about $120 (no drinks included). Will I come back here? Probably not :( read more

Worse customer service, and overprice for the quality, the only meat that was decent was the beef belly everything else sucked. This place is overrated and false yelp reviews. Yelp is such a fail every time I try a new place with many positive reviews. read more

Great place best kbbq in the valley can't wait to go back soon always recommend my family from out of town

AYCE Gogi was pretty good. They have a bunch of options to choose from, and the meat and sides were all solid. The service was fast and friendly, which made the whole experience smooth. It's a nice spot for lunch, but it definitely gets a bit hectic in the evenings. Overall, a good KBBQ experience and worth checking out. I'd give it a 4 out of 5 and won't mind coming back! read more

Definitely the best kbbq all you can eat in the valley! The meat quality is great. The service is usually fast. And the ambiance is fun they have games in the back while you are waiting read more

Love this place , great service great food . It always packed but waiting time is only like 30min . read more

My parents LOVE this chain. I prefer making the trek to Ktown or Thirsty Cow but this place is decent for the valley, and is comparable to Gen if not slightly better. We actually like the West Hills location more (service is top notch, spacious parking, more ventilation as it's a larger restaurant, and it's cleaner) but we happened to be in the area. Service here is commendable here though, but not consistent. Food is OK. I think the quality of meat is masked by the heavy marinade of the meat. I will say what's unique about this chain is that there is a large variety of sides here. BUT they serve the noodles and fried rice in relatively large bowls and I rarely see tables finish it, so I highly recommend asking for half orders if you don't want to waste food. Try coming at opening to avoid the crowds and smokiness. For a party of 3 on a Monday at lunch, it came out to $83.85. We got the garlic bulgogi, beef brisket, garlic/lemon pepper shrimp, spicy kalbi, black pepper beef, spicy calamari, and beef tongue. Not the biggest fan of bulgogi nor the steak. For appetizers, spicy tofu soup and steamed egg is a must. Mom likes the vegetable tempura (yay sweet potato), shumai (shrimp filling?), and gyoza. Ban chan of spinach, rice paper, and kimchi can't go wrong. read more

AYCE Gogi - VAN NUYS - First round: brisket, Spicy Calamari, Spicy Kalbi, and Garlic Bulgogi, 2 Tofu Soups, and steamed egg - Korean Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Extremely disappointed. We were hyped up by this place by my parents who live close by and tried it out for themselves. We were a party of 7 and the wait was going to be about 30 mins for one grill. However, we were suggested to pay for an extra person for two grills and we'd be seated right away. Most AYCE KBBQ places have at least two grills for 6+. Why would we spend money on an extra person if only then we would be given a second grill? To try to up charge for a second grill was beyond pathetic and clearly not a good business model. If a party of 7 would only have one grill, then the experience would have definitely been worst. We ended up walking away. After reviewing the comments from others, it was clear that us leaving was the best choice. Look out Yelpers for this kind of practice with KBBQ and your large party. It's not worth the $48 per person. $350+ just walked out the door. read more

I have been here about ten years ago when I was working in the area and finally today I went back with my family to have dinner. It was so busy but we were seated within 15 minutes. When we were leaving the line was longer. I guess it's a very popular place in Van Nuys. We got a few kinds of beef, fried rice, rice noodles, drunken noodles, corn, steamed eggs and more can't remember it all. I believe it was $39.99 per person. With tax and tip we paid $50 a person but let me tell you we were stuffed. Good customer service, specially the hostess who was friendly and helpful. The only thing I didn't enjoy much was the smell of burning meat and it felt like the ventilators were not working properly cause there was smoke everywhere. I have been to other Korean bbq places but never experienced this. Maybe it's normal but I didn't like it. Other than that all was well. I also noticed they had a large table for big parties. That's a plus read more

There was only one person waiting on us. He had the entire back room with 10 tables. The pace was slow. It's not his fault entirely. He has to hand write orders There were 6 in our table and we spent more time waiting The people bringing the food cannot answer any questions - they come bring food down and leave. They can't even bring in more dipping sauces. I asked 3 times for refill of sauces and came in really late. It was loud and felt more like an outdoor eating place The person cleaning tables was banging all the plates. - loudly. It was our first time here and probably the last Nothing special about the meats. Most were bland The galbi was good but too little too late. Unfortunate read more

one of our favorite spots! great food and service. Very quick service and everyone is really nice here! everytime we go its not full so we wait just a few minutes. read more

The service wasn't it. I haven't came here since two years. And I think I'm never coming back the waitress was terrible she wasn't seen! me and my friends were waiting forever for her and she never came when she came and gave us our check. We dipped and we still tipped I would NOT tip her worst waitress ever. If she didn't wanna work today she should have stayed home. So upsetting was hyping this up to my friends (coworkers). :( read more

It's alright. I asked about the banchan and the waitress just shrugged and walked away. I'm sure I've had it here before. It was not busy and seemed to be a struggle to get water refills as well as order additional items. The food was just OK, nothing spectacular. read more

AYCE Gogi is one of the top KBBQ spots in the valley. It can get crowded during peak times. there's plenty of parking. Ventilation could be better, though. Meat options are a bit limited, but their Korean sides totally make up for it--soups, rice dishes, and more. Service can be slow; had to flag the waiter three times for water. They do end things on a nice note with a mini yogurt, which is refreshing. read more

Went here on a busy day (Valentine's Day) and only had to wait 20 minutes. They were very fast with bringing our order to the table. I like the fact that they offer steamed egg, however I feel that it was lacking flavor. I think the meats were okay. They have a wider range of side selections than meat. There was a limit to the amount of shrimp you could get, they were also peeled (I personally like them whole) I feel like there are better kbbq spots out there for the same price if not less. They have a pin ball room in the back. It feels dark and underground. I kind of like the vibe. You go in through an arcade waiting room so there are no widows. When you're done eating they give you frozen yogurt and thats kind of the best part about it. I don't think this would ever be my first option for kbbq, nor would I seek out to eat here again, but I also would never say no to kbbq. read more

Surprisingly haven't tried this KBBQ chain till now. A few of my friends have brought it up but we've always just gone to GEN which is also closer to us. Finally got to try this after doing a photoshoot with @richardesque and he recommended this place. It's been maybe half a year since we've had kbbq so it was refreshing. We got here super late with about an hour or so left till they closed. Luckily we already knew what we pretty much wanted and didn't take long to order at all. We went with double orders of the Beef Belly, Spicy Pork, Regular Bulgogi and Garlic Bulgogi. We also got sides along with Gyoza, spicy garlic noodles, and the potato salad. It was odd that we had to ask for all the sides but also ask for kimchi. Seemed like a standard thing for kbbq, no? The highlight of the entire meal was probably the garlic bulgogi. I have never seen that on the menu other than spicy or regular. The garlic is a game changer and tasted amazing! They also give you complimentary yogurt cups at the end with your bill. Pretty nice! Definitely a more outdated kind of vibe to this place compared to others we've been to and it was neat that they had pinball machines. Pretty cool spot and great food! IG: @ammysalamii read more

Good food and lots of selection. While waiting you can play the classic pinball. My son loves it! The place is a little tight.

This is still my favorite Korean barbecue spot the food is always delicious. The timing is always good. The customer service is excellent in the entertainment in the back by the bar is also very very nice and so much fun. The spicy pork is delicious. The brisket is good. I just learned today is that the brisket when it comes unseasoned you can ask them to put seasoning on it or any type of sauce. Place is always clean in the bathroom is too. Very good vibes read more
