I've eaten at just about every restaurant in this shopping center over the years, so I'm not sure…read morewhy it took me so long to try Gogi Go Go. It's truly a hidden gem. From the moment we walked in, Jackie made us feel incredibly welcome. His genuine hospitality made it feel less like dining at a restaurant and more like being invited over for a traditional, home-cooked Korean meal. Having traveled and dined in Seoul many times, I really appreciated how authentic everything tasted. Every dish was freshly prepared and full of the bold flavors that I expect in Korean cuisine. One of my biggest pet peeves is when restaurants water down Tteok Bokki until it tastes like sweetened tomato paste. Gogi Go Go absolutely nailed it. The spice profile had the right amount of heat, and the rice cakes had the perfect chewy texture. The Pajeon was loaded with fresh vegetables and beautifully cooked, with a crisp exterior and tender center. The BBQ bowls have generous portions and the Bul Dak sauce was packed with flavor. Their Kimchi was delicious as well and tasted very fresh. A surprise of the night was the soy garlic wings. Since Gogi Go Go doesn't really market themselves as a Korean fried chicken restaurant, we ordered this with fairly low expectations. I definitely underestimated them. They arrived piping hot, perfectly crispy, generously coated in sauce without becoming soggy, and were well sized. They honestly rival, and in fact surpass, some of the dedicated Korean fried chicken spots we've seen come and go in the area. As someone who's a long time Ashburn resident, I remember when there were very few authentic Korean restaurants nearby, and to experience a good one meant driving to Fairfax or Centreville. It's exciting to see that changing in recent years, and Gogi Go Go is a fantastic addition. Their authentic, home-style dishes really hit the mark. There's lots of variety in the menu and you're sure to find something you'll love. The atmosphere is casual enough for an everyday meal (we had just come from the gym), yet the level of hospitality makes you feel like a welcomed guest rather than just another customer (that quality can be hard to find and truly makes this place special). Highly recommend giving this locally owned (not a chain) restaurant a try. We'll definitely be back!

The takeout was packaged very well and everything was neat and clean. The restaurant itself also looked very clean inside. The portions were generous and you can really feel the hospitality.

Some how even the regular wings have a kick to them, not sure how that works but I'm here for it. If you have a spice adverse family member I would recommend sticking with no sauce because they still have a little kick. The soy garlic is a little sweet and a little heat. The spicy has a lot of flavor and definitely a spicy bite! I haven't tried the red hot because I'm not that brave lol, but everything here tastes amazing. The chicken is super crunchy, flavorful and the heat is awesome. The fries are a nice addition and somehow stay crispy even if they get delivered. I've eaten here at least a dozen times and they are solid every single time. Highly recommend - pro tip: order sauce on the side to try all the flavors and figure out which one is your favorite!

They have all the classic cuts of meat that you would expect at a Korean bbq restaurant in high quality and a plus is special cuts of meats that you wouldn't be able get at an average Korean bbq restaurant. Carefully seasoned meat like jumulleok (주물럭) and galbi was perfectly marinated and cook just right, it melts in your mouth. Meat was tender, juicy and rich. Is a must try! I usually don't like pork belly because some have the gamey smell and taste, but Gogi 92 pork belly tasted clean and nutty buttery. They have different types of wagyu meat. I very much enjoyed their picanha wagyu and their Australian wagyu. It paired so well with their pickled Perilla leaves and wasabi. All the meats we got were perfectly cooked and placed on a plate for us to enjoy. And cannot forget about their side dishes. I've been to too many Korean bbq restaurants that serves mediocre side dishes. Gogi 92 serves homemade side dishes that makes you feel like you are eating in Korea. You can tell that they have put a lot of thought into creating each dishes. Under new management, new improvements, and lots of delicious upgrades! They have many other dishes to try, we will be going back for more! Leesburg is lucky they have Gogi 92 in their neighborhood! I'd go eat here everyday!

Gave this place a try since a Korean and Mexican mix sounded really cool. But after experiencing…read morethis place, it didn't live up to the hype I had hoped it would. The Food: I went with the Korean Chicken Bowl for my meal. The protein had a slight bit of flavor, but when combined with all the toppings, the bowl was bland. The veggies lacked a lot of that flavor and the rice was a little hard and tasteless. The bowl lacked those big and bold flavors that typical Korean and Mexican food usually have. It was not good at all. I ended up not finishing the bowl and throwing it out unfortunately. Also, for the price, the bowl was quite expensive for the quality and quantity of food you get. The Service: Service was okay. The owner wasn't as friendly and kinda had me rushed through what I wanted to choose. I was the only one in there and the food took a little long, but I assume it was because they had to cook the protein per order? Other than that, service was just okay. Overall, a 1/5. Didn't like my experience here unfortunately. Maybe other items might be better, but since everything was pretty overpriced, it kinda steered me away from giving it a chance again

I do really like the online menu, where you can see big clear pictures of each dish. Inside the restaurant they do have small paper copies of the menu (without pictures) that you can use to choose your order before entering it on the kiosk. Taste of Korea is strictly self-service. You place your order on the electronic kiosk inside the front door. You also pick up your order from the counter and bus your table as well. Water is self-service too, which is good. I ordered the B5. Sizzling Stone Pot Bibimap. It was pretty good and I especially liked the banchan that came with it. But as I mentioned, the portion size was small (and the amount of beef skimpy), though you do have the option of adding extra ingredients for a price. Some pieces of the meat did have an off-flavor. There was a cup of broth (not miso) that came with the bibimap but it had no flavor. It was like drinking warm water. JP ordered the C6. Korean Style Pork Belly. The pork belly was very good and this dish also came with banchan and broth. We also ordered the Spicy Baby Octopus. It wasn't super spicy but it had a very delicious sauce. But probably more onion than octopus. We also ordered the Chicken Bulgogi, which was excellent. However, these two dishes only came with rice, and not banchan. I doubt we will come back because of the price vs. quantity ratio.

The broth in the seafood noodles was rich and bold, and the black bean sauce had that deep, savory kick I was hoping for. Service is minimal but efficient, and the vibe is casual and welcoming. Great spot for a quick, tasty meal that feels authentically Korean (American).

One thing to watch out for: the floor is very slippery, so be careful when walking around.
