Went there for a birthday celebration, 7 of us. My son ordered fried rice, beer and asked to see the sushi menu. The sushi menu came but the waiter didn't come back to take a sushi order. The rest of us got our food while son waited patiently. My son didn't get served, I cud see the frustration build up with my son. Done eating, we asked for the tab, I took the tab to the waiter, asked why the fried rice was taking so long and son didn't get to order his sushi. This place thot it wud be ok to give us a free plate of fried rice and still charge my son for his beer. We declined the free plate, my son was disgusted with them by now, appalled that he even got charged for his beer. The 2 ppl in charge (older man and female) were raising their voices by this time. We demanded they give us a sensible discount for all the mayhem they are putting us thru. They were utterly reluctant to acknowledge any wrongdoing, but we manage to squeeze 20% off our tab and walked away. I'm never coming back to this place, wasn't my favorite anyway, it was my birthday daughter's choice. How is it ok not to serve someone and charge the full tab? To the owner(s) - u severely miss the point of common decency and courtesy. Customer satisfaction comes first in any business, without it, you're nothing. The ppl have a right to know how rude and crude your actions were. read more

I had a craving for kalbi tang and found Gogi. Excited, I drove over, delighted to see that it was a new restaurant. I came in around 3PM so it wasn't particularly busy. The restaurant design was tasteful and clean, just the way I like it. Since there weren't many customers at the time, I was waited on by two people. I had a variety of ban chan and my kalbi tang. Sometimes the service would overlap which could be a good and bad thing. I personally like eating without feeling that someone is watching my every move while devouring into my meal. So I've had kalbi tang in NY and LA and typically the beef would be stewed to the point that it would fall off the bone. Or there would be bones, but they would be chopped into pieces so it would be easy to eat. In this case, it was two large meat bones. I was terrified to try to eat this without looking like a cave person. Worse, I had come from a work meeting and was wearing a really nice dress today. I tried using my chopsticks to pick the meat off without much success. I had no choice. I picked up the bone and ate the meat off with my hands, it was very messy and stew splashed on me. So embarrassing. Of course I knew they were watching my every move and within minutes a server came by and placed some scissors on my table. I proceeded to spend the next 10 minutes hacking up my beef with my hands and the scissors. Again, very and messy. I didn't take a picture, but noticed that there is one of the kalbi tang in the photos in the yelp page. The quality of the stew was good, but the preparation of the kalbi tang was not. I told them that they should prepare the kalbi tang with the meat cut off, I mean the meat is one of the best parts oft he stew. I can never shake off the feelings of humiliation to return to this restaurant. I give this place 3 stars because I know that they are new and have really good potential. read more

Mmm love new korean place in the valley :) I love that they have lunch and dinner tofu soup combo! Wish other korean place offer this option as I want soup and one more dish! I had kalbi ( good! Thicker cut meat than some other place) mixed tofu soup ( clam and mussels pretty fresh) and pork lettuce wrap! ( love their side kimuchi wish they'd cut off the cartilage better though) Overall i like this place! Kimchi was much more flavorful than some other place, side dish amount is a lil small but that's okay they give complimentary hot egg dish ! Closer to Vegas/Cali korean place :) tofu soup wasn't deep flavor but very clean and I like that ' will try them again for other yummy stuff! Service was awesome too :) read more

Fast service (although maybe because I came in pretty late around 9pm) with short waiting time for food! Wonderful! :D Servers are nice and cute ;) I had a solid meal here. What I like most is that they have entree+tofu soup combo! And you can choose whatever tofu soup they have! For an Asian, it starts to feel like meal when there's a main dish, some small cold dishes and a soup! Many other places don't have these options. If you want both then get both with full price. But here a small sized soup really makes a difference. Even though it's a smaller size soup, the materials were solid. It doesn't feel like a cheap add-on side, but really a smaller version of the real thing. I had seafood tofu soup with egg, mussel, clams and a real size shrimp, not like some other Korean restaurant nowadays that use small shrimpies and substitute mussel with small clams even in a full price soup. The flavors are pretty good. I can't say it's the best or it's outstanding, but the attitude here is better than many. I will come back and would recommend it to my friends. read more

GOGI - Hot stone bibimbap with seafood tofu soup combo. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

What happened to my favorite Korean restaurant?!! New owners took over and everything changed. The food was terrible and I got sick after eating it. Not the first person to complain about that so I hope the new owners do something to clean up their kitchen and ensure staff is washing their hands. I had the shrimp bimbibap and the shrimp was overcooked and tasteless, not clean and chewy. The "hot" sauce was not hot. I had to pour it again and again to get any flavor and spice. Definitely not real hot sauce. The appetizers were even bad and lacked variety. Heck, even the water was terrible. I'm so disappointed with the changes and won't be back. Fyi, these owners also own Snow Ice, and Big Sushi. read more

My go to for korean in this area !!! read more

GOGI - Tofu (no meat) hot stone rice bowl. So yummy w their hot pepper sauce & veggies. Also kimchi and pickled radishes are very delicious ! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Absolutely fantastic Korean food with many options. I tried their chicken bulgogi (best I've had) and my first kimchi pancake which was delicious! All of these reviews about rude servers is a bunch of crap, this place deserves your business. Do yourself a favor and explore some great Korean cuisine! read more

What a great find! Shouldn't be surprised since that shopping center has several great spots. I had the bibimbap with bulgogi and it was fantastic. They serve it on a hot stone do the rice gets a little crispy. We also got the fried chicken-regular and sweet and spicy. Regular was fine (a little under seasoned) but the other was quite good and made for some excellent leftovers. I deducted a star for the staff closing up all the tables around us (chairs propped on tables, sweeping the floor) a good 15-20 minutes before their 10pm closing. I get wanting to get out ASAP, but you start that after the close time, not before. Still, I would definitely go back! read more

I haven't had Korean food in forever and I am so glad I went to Gogi the other night. I had the daeji bulgogi (spicy pork) which is my go to. It was perfect. The quality of meat was very good and the amount of spice was to my liking. I also tried the seafood pancake which was extra crispy and the best one I've ever had. The sides were fresh, the fish cake and kimchi were different than what I'm used to but I enjoyed them. They play Kpop and have TVs showing music videos so it was more authentic to me. Service was fast despite it being a busy Friday night. I look forward to returning! read more

Very authentic food with extensive menu including Japanese options. My favorite is the caviar mixed rice. Also try the potato and pork rib stew. It's hard to come by anywhere else in AZ. It's quite a drive for me to come here but will make the effort if I'm craving their food. Service is fast. read more

The service was a little bit slow but our food was actually great! I ordered the Philadelphia roll and a miso soup.

I live in N. Phoenix, and this place is a 45 min drive away from my house. The food is worth the drive, gas, distance, and time. I dream about eating this food daily. Last night, the place was packed with Korean families who could be making their own Korean food at home, but obviously weren't bc this place is out of this world. The service is sketchy, but the food is the highlight. Don't let the bad service keep you away from the delightfulness your taste buds deserve. The flavor here is full bodied and inviting. I never say this, but it's better than the Korean food I had growing up in a Korean American household. THERE, I SAID IT. *drops mic, walks away*. (My mother was an amazing cook, too) We usually order the pork hot stone bowl (bibimbap); it comes out piping hot and stays that way. If you order a hot stone bowl, be willing to share or don't eat for several days before; it's a huge serving. One serving could easily feed 3 people. I wish I knew the right words to describe how tasty it is. The haemul pajun was hot, crispy, and not so thick. It was the most homestyle pajun I've eaten at a Korean restaurant. Like the hot stone bowl, this is also a generous portion I'd order this as a meal and eat it all by myself. Ok, I'm a liar. If it didn't make me look like a pig, I'd order 2... All to myself. We also had the Korean chirak. If you like sashimi, you'll love this dish. It's like bibimbap, but the fish is raw and it's served in sliced red cabbage-like a salad. You get rice, on the side, to add in if you want. The sashimi was creamy, like butter, and incredibly fresh. You also got a lot of it. The cabbage paired perfectly with the sashimi. The sauce was a nice balance of spiciness with a hint of sweetness. read more

I love coming here. I always have trouble deciding what to eat. Everything is pretty darn good. I just wish there were more tables away from the door especially in the winter. It seems like every time we go we are close to the door. read more

My family and I were trying to find a sushi restaurant around this area...but we couldn't find it. So we decided to try this place out because we all love Korean food anyways, and so glad we did! The food is great, can't go wrong with Korean food. We ordered a seafood pancake, two hot stone bowls, a galbi and tofu soup combo, and a tempura udon. The food was good and we were so stuffed...had way too much food for two people. I could of shared that hot stone bowl with someone. But, that also means korean food again for lunch the next day :) The side dishes were super delicious. Loved the steamed egg in a bowl, the spinach, and the bean sprouts!! Those are always my favorite. I asked for so many refills of those..I felt bad. But that gets me to their service. Our waitress was so nice and attentive, and always had a smile on her face! She didn't mind at all that I kept asking for bean sprouts, and she ended up giving me a to-go box full of them!!! Ahhhhh, that made my night. The entire time we were there, we only saw Koreans dining, or at least Asians, so I think that's a good sign that there's some legit Korean food. read more

Good Korean food and the portions are huge. It is a little pricey but you do get what you pay for. It was very busy when I went and I waited at least 30mins for my food. I didn't mind waiting since the service I got was decent and the waiter did come up to me to apologize for the wait and kept updates on the food. He also offered more side dishes for me to try while waiting so I didn't mind since they were basically free appetizers to me. They have quite a selection for both lunch and dinner on the menu. Lunch prices are MUCH cheaper than dinner, but I'm unsure about the portion size for lunch as I only went for dinner time. They also have sushi on the menu. One problem for me was the design of this place. I don't understand it. It's a little bit weirdly designed and off vibe for me. I don't feel cozy or comfortable sitting in the restaurant. It's just an off interior design for me. Another problem is that they don't have pictures on the menu to show the food. I like pictures on my menu so I know what I'm ordering, especially when I'm with someone who isn't use to eating cultured food. Other than that, the food is pretty bomb. read more

This place is a must try for anyone who wanted to eat Korean!! The people are so friendly, always checking on you. The vegetables sides are unlimited and they are quick to bring us more once we ran out. They were pretty busy when we went but still provided great service! The food is delicious! I love Korean food and it's hard to leave a lasting impression on me since I try to eat it as much as possible but this place was so good. The meats were so tasty and portions are a lot. We got the bulgogi and galbi with a side of Kim chee fried rice. It was so good! Great to go with friends or families because it is family style portion size. We had so much left overs which we did finish the next day. Wish I had room to try the soups, mandoo and Kim chee pancake but if ever I'm in the area again I'll definitely be back! read more

Tried a new place that recently opened up and being adventuresome we tried Korean food. Place is clean, nicely decorated. Service was alright, nobody really checked on us which sucks but they are busy and mostly Asian people :) We ordered Bulgogi which is a sweet Korean BBQ rib eye, very tasty. The shrimp fried rice was very good, it comes with a sunny side egg which was a lil weird but was good, and these two things together are plenty to share. They also served small side plates with cabbage, tofu, spinach, bean sprouts and one other thing. We also got a philidephia roll which was excellent, quite a big larger then other places and the st uff with more salmon and cream cheese. All in all, place was pretty good however their soda is canned and tasted like a soda that had been in the sun. They Defintely need soda on a gun. We will be back :) read more

Great great real Korean food in the valley! I've been looking for real authentic Korean food here but I had hard time to find it just right for me.

If you are looking for real good Korean food, you should try here! read more

Really yummy food and nice environment. Service took longer than I thought but food was awesome.

Their food is so delicious. Me and my family love going here. It is our favorite authentic korean spot here in Arizona. The fried chicken is amazing (they cook the whole chicken!) and since it's a family chain The shaved snow next door and sushi revolving bar are delicious as well! Everyone is so nice and we go there almost every week. Never change! We love this place and it will be a family tradition! read more

I lived in South Korea for a long time and finding good Korean food back here has been challenging since. Gogi is one of my favorite places to eat Korean!

One of my favorite go to restaurants. The staff is very friendly and they don't bother you when you are eating like most other restaurants. They play great soft music all the time and overall just have a very comfy feeling. I feel in love with their food the first time i tried it. They have great side dishes, i especially love their kimchi. They have really tasty meals as well, and they come in big servings so you can share. I would recommend coming here if you have the time. read more

I'm surprised I didn't review this place yet haha. I've been here a couple of times, as any korean restaurants they give you a bunch of side dishes, but the winner for this place would have to be the main dishes. It taste simply amazing read more

Not only is this my favorite Korean restaurant, but the service is also the best! They have two locations and I mistakenly ordered my Doordash pickup at the wrong location. When I arrived at the N Dobson location, we quickly realized I messed up. He suggested I get on the app to cancel the order but it was too late. I called the other location and the nice man asked me to hand the phone over to the other nice man at the N Dobson location to fulfill my order there. No hassle no questions asked. I was impressed that he went above and beyond. read more

Hi we came to the restaurant GoGi here in Phoenix AZ. Expecting traditional Korean food. I called night before and asked about the style of food that are being prepared. Came in 11Am soon as they opened. Ordered food no problem. We ordered Tofu Combination with stone hot bibimbap. With separate order of spicy three layer pork belly korean style. Everything was great until food's came out. Spicy pork was sweet and salty with brown sauce all over it like and was told by the owners that they deep fry the pork before the marinating. You don't deep fry spicy pork if it is korean style. Side dishes are so lame it was the worst. We are Korean whom like to travel and really enjoy the dining out. I will not be or cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone if you are wanting the authentic korean food. This is not the way. I really don't believe they know how.... Maybe if they actually went got some training. Or actually taste there own food??? read more

The food is great. Love the food but guess what? My bill came up to 18.59 and I paid with two $20 dollars cash, $40 dollars total and asked for 15 back. My server thought I gave him only one twenty and still thought I was asking for $15 back. It looked like the owners were the one handling the cash. They did their drawer calculations and claimed that I only gave them one twenty dollar bill. I am a server and I handle cash all day. The server told me he had only been serving for a month so it makes sense as to why he could have mishandled the money but the owners seemed to be the one handling all of the transactions and they still calculated that I only gave them $20. I felt bad and still left 5 bucks for a tip. Pay with card so they don't accuse you of ripping them off with cash! I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon. read more

Favorite is their tofu soups. Good bulgogi.

This place is great for lunch and dinner. The menu has a great variety. The inside decor is not bad and the tv screens that play korean music videos is a nice touch from the usual blank walls. The servers here are always nice and very accommodating. Never have I had a bad service and I've at one point gone to this place three times in one week. They do have newer servers now since they've opened but the quality has not changed. Food is great. The best prices for lunch can be found here. I would recommend the galbi and the seafood pancake. Get the pancake extra crispuI have tried their kimchi pancake but I'm not much of a kimchi fan. Not to say it's not good it's just not my preference. The tofu soups are all great so whatever flavor you may want you won't get disappointed. The bibimbap is amazing because of the amount and the flavor. It comes out hot and continually stays hot due to the stone bowl it is in. Don't let your rice sit for too long and continue mixing as you eat or your rice will get hard and will stuck to the bottom. Sushi here was also a great find. Pieces are huge and the prices are fair. If you like a nice cheap chirashi bowl they have two versions korean and traditional Japanese. Their Johnny rocket roll has a nice flavor but I would recommend the King Kong roll. True to it's name the pieces are huge. read more

Delicious, Traditional, Family-sized Portions & Food Made out of Love The best Korean food I (a Korean and a fatty) have ever had in my life. This is a luxuriously perfect and exclusive prime example of the best that Korean food can offer. Everything I would hope for in taste, portion size, deliciousness and scrumptious ness were all very welly satisfied by this restaurant. Waiter was good, was friendly once he noticed that we were not going to be tough on him. ~ Don't expect anything you are not willing to give. Stop the cycle of hate by loving those who hate. It is pricey ($50 for our family,), but if you feel like treating yourself or your family and want the most for your money. This will satisfy your stomach and fulfil your taste buds deepest desires. We just moved from Los Angeles where we would eat at many restaurants all throughout the KoreaTown area. Yet I could not recommend a better, perfect example of Korean food here in Arizona or in California. Spend your money with those who deserve it. Help those who love others, your dollar will go further. God bless you all, Jo Family read more

I ordered food here through postmates and was really excited. Sadly the food was just okay. The beef bulgolgi was sorely disappointing, its no different than what you'd get at Bibio. I've had better in Mississippi. The food that you have to cook on the grill is better than the food here at Gogi. Side dishes are limited to 3 different types and nothing to write home about. Even the kimchi wasn't that good. My son liked his fried rice though. Yes you get great portion sizes but now I'm stuck with food I didn't really like. Oh and I also ordered the seafood pancakes? It was soggy by the time I got it. I think it was calamari in there? The pieces were a bit tough and you can tell it's not very fresh but I liked the dip that came with it. I won't be ordering here again. read more

Came here for the Korean Fried Chicken. I'm a little sad to say that the chicken was overwhelmingly sweet and there needed to be way more spice to it. The chicken itself is really well cooked. The sauce softened the crispy skin which is a bit disappointing, if you eat fast it won't be a problem. If ordering the KFC I recommend ordering extra spicy and see if they can use less sauce. read more
