I went here for my early birthday dinner. If you have a party of 4 and visit within 3 days before or after your birthday, the birthday person eats for free! My whole family really enjoyed the food. My favorites were the chili pineapple bulgogi and beef short rib. The service was good as well. They were very friendly, attentive, and constantly would monitor our burner and change the tray of the burner without us having to ask. A couple nit-picky things to note: - it gets very loud , which made it a bit difficult to hear each other and place our orders - we were a party of 6 and was seated at a table with one burner, so it felt a little crowded Overall, I really enjoyed visiting! They were kinda enough to let us bring a small ice cream cake, which they kept in their freezer. When we were ready for the cake, they placed the candles we brought, lit them up, and sang happy birthday! Really made the celebration special :) Tip: I recommend reserving ahead of time on the Yelp app! read more

Food is ALWAYS 10/10 here, have been so many times and I haven't had a single complaint. Service could be a bit better, they're friendly but sometimes forgetful. At times they're unloading the truck and they SLAM the kitchen doors with the dolly. Something to think about if you're on a date or coming here for a celebration. They did notice that they were loud and tried not slamming the door. Ambiance is fun, lots on K-pop music! Table and booths are kinda tight. Not really kid friendly.. can't put a high chair. But honestly, you'll want to enjoy this place without your kiddos because it's just THAT good!! read more

The price is just right, and the food is worth every penny. The service is excellent--I've been there multiple times with my friends, and it's always a great experience. They make an amazing Korean kimchi pancake that we all love, and they serve plenty of delicious meat, whether it beef, pork, or chicken. Everything is well-prepared, tasty, and comes with great sauce. My friend always says that whenever returns to Norfolk, he really wants to visit this place again with me. read more

I so love this place! Very happy we had a reservation on a busy Friday night. We went to celebrate birthdays, which is so nice because if it's within 3 days of the birthday, it's free! There are so many options. Unfortunately I did not take any pics while dining, but everything was delicious (after we cooked it, of course). I also really enjoyed the seaweed salad! The staff was very nice, attentive, when helpful. We also indulged in the tiramisu, which is super delicious! What a treat! 5 STARS! I just don't go here often enough. It can be busy, so make a reservation. We will be back! read more

I do not know how much they cost since it was all free This Restaurant is good They will sing Happy Birthdays to anyone while also offering to give a free Meal for the Birthday person if there are around 4+ People Staff is very attentive with getting your needs Their variety of variety Bulgogi is their best food. I think the premium meat such as the Galbi are meh and too fatty. Their sides are delicious though read more

This has been so far the best AYCE Korean BBQ in the 757. It doesn't have the hot pot, so that sucks but as far as the meat and the marinaded meat, it's the best flavor! They do have the sauces already prepped at the table, so need to get up from your table to make your sauce. It can be good or bad, I guess. They also have kitchen dishes already made like wings, japche, cheese corn, spicy rice cake and etc. That's also a plus. Also, this place uses real fire hot plate to cook your protein. It's not an electric kind where your food can't get that nice char. Also, this place has good ventilation but I don't smell like I was playing in a smoky kitchen lol! read more

I'm not a hibachi guy at all; i actually try to avoid them. So going to this place was ONLY because my friend group wanted to go. There were 5 of us so we went. I'm really glad we did. This is the best hibachi style, family style restaurants. I don't wanna cook if I'm going out i cook all the time at home. But this was the best I've had recently. The company i had with me helped as they were all carnivores and ordered all the meats, but that was only possible because of the great selection Gogi has to offer. Drinks were goo and they actually had alcohol in them, the food selection was diverse enough to not get bored after one or two cooks, the staff was attentive and offered great service. Casual ambience that you could enjoy with ample parking across the street. Definitely will be back! read more

I made reservations through Yelp and I'm very glad I did. When we arrived for our 6pm reservation there were already many people waiting for tables and the restaurant was busy! We were seated immediately by a friendly hostess. Our server was attentive and explained how the menu and process of ordering and cooking worked. It is AYCE (all you can eat) so you basically order whatever meat, veggie and chef plates that you want at whatever point during your dining experience that you want. We were a group of 4 people and we pretty much tried most items. They provide each person which a tray of dipping sauces. It is a lot of fun cooking and tasting everything. Make sure to keep your cooking utensils separate from your eating utensils for contamination free purposes. I definitely recommend Gogi Guys as an entertaining and interactive place to eat. Dessert of either an ice cream cup or tiramisu is also included in your AYCE dinner. read more

I have been to a few Korean BBQ places and decided to try Goji Guy in Norfolk. I love the decor and atmosphere. Our waitress was super cute and sweet! I love that they give large portions of meats compared to other places I've been to. They are pricier than other places I have been to, but the quality and portions are worth it! My ONLY complaint would be when the first turn on the burners or switch out the plates, they turn them up really high so they heat up more quickly. The issue is, they forgot to come back a few times to turn it down so the food burns. Other than that, I would definitely visit again and recommend to others! read more

Gogi Guys continues to be one of my absolute favorite restaurants! I've been multiple times now, and each visit just reinforces why I keep coming back. The food is seasoned perfectly--flavorful, but never overwhelming--and the quality is always top-notch. The service? Impeccable. The staff is friendly, attentive, and keeps the experience smooth no matter how busy they are. I've raved about this place so much that I've gotten my friends hooked too! If you haven't been yet, you're seriously missing out. Gogi Guys is easily a must-visit spot in Norfolk, and I'll be back many more times! read more

Came here for my birthday dinner after hearing they offered a birthday freebie--unfortunately, there was a big hidden condition that it only applies if you have a party of 4 or more. Definitely a letdown and not the warmest birthday surprise. We had reservations, but instead of a smooth welcome, it felt a bit disorganized and chaotic--waited to be seated while staff seemed scattered. That vibe carried throughout the night: even the bathrooms were out of soap and paper towels, which doesn't inspire confidence when the place is packed. Now, onto the food--the real highlight. The meats were well-marinated and tasty, and the banchan was fresh, though the selection felt more limited compared to Korean BBQ spots I've had in the Bay Area. Still, what they did serve was solid and satisfying. Loved the seafood pancake and beef bulgogi, and the grill setup was clean and efficient. The ambiance is fun with its neon vibes, but service needs tightening and the "birthday promo" should be communicated upfront. Overall, the food makes it a solid 4 stars, but with a bit more polish, it could easily hit 5. read more

Gogi Guys has been our Korean BBQ staple for about 2 years now. From dates, girls hangouts, or birthdays were leaving there with a smile 95% of the time. Let's talk about their options first. For $34.99 a person (or $17.99 for children 4-9 yrs old) you will get the "All You Can Eat" all day menu. Please be mindful that you have to have 2+ patrons to sit and eat. When seated you are given a complimentary water jug to keep your water cups full. They are usually really good at changing out the jugs when running low. They do have other drinks including alcohol but they are not included in the AYCE price so if you're on a budget you should stick with just the water. On a side note you will be given a plate of side dishes and sauces which are included in the price but are not necessary to eat it all. Protein options range from beef, pork, chicken, and seafood. With a good amount of sides and small plates for those who do not eat meat. My family and I enjoy most of the menu but the real winners for us would be the Beef Bulgogi, Pork Belly, and Chili Pineapple Bulgogi for protein. The small plates and sides change depending on who we are with but our go to will always be the kimbap, rice cakes, pineapple chunks, and rice. We've never truly had an issue with their food, Golgi Guys plate portions are a good size for a group of 4. 'Personal Preference' but we do prefer the thinner sliced meats over the thicker (like the chicken) since the hot plate in the middle can be finicky with temp. We've never been charged for burnt food but I hate to waste. Table Service is where Gogi Guys loses a star for us. We have been there when it's slow and when it's completely packed with a 1-2 hour waitlist. Our waiters are always scattered and sometimes it takes us calling them over to get them back to our specific table. When we mention that our guests are new to Korean BBQ I would prefer they explain how it works but in the end it's usually us. Now, we have never had a mean or rude waiter/waitress but they are usually more catering to certain tables. I'm always down for a hustle but it's always leaves a sour taste in our experience. Especially when they tend to rush you out the door when you're done. I would also love it for them to change the plates more often, were mindful on the days they're extremely busy that it'll take longer but we have had to request new hot plates even on days that we're the few customers. Luckily, the rest of our experience has always been great, the atmosphere and energy are always high and that there makes it a wonderful time especially when the food truly is amazing. *If youre able, make reservations especially for 4+ parties *You can get put on the waitlist on yelp but must be a certain distance away. *On your birthday you get a free meal. I believe you have to have 4 people for it to work and you can enjoy it on your actual birth date and two days before or after. Please be mindful of their AYCE Policies: -Restaurant Policy: all guest who are seated at the table will be charged in full without exception. -All party must be present to be seated. -Dining for AYCE only. Entire party must order the same menu. -20% Gratuity will be add for party of 6 or more. -120 mins Dining time Limited. No outside food or drink. -Food left over will be result in additional charge of 30%, please order responsibly! read more

It has been a whole year and a half since I came back to Gogi Guys. I do have to mention that the service is so much better (at least on weekdays). They don't give indiviual banchan anymore, instead of a group banchan (the potato, peanuts, and the pickled radish were my favorite). Our waitress was very quick with our order and changed out our grill very often. In terms of side dishes other than the meat, I highly recommend getting the seafood/scallion pancake and the steamed egg. The meat was better quality than last time and I ate so much more than last time. They do first come first serve still, but you have to wait until the table is set up for you, which takes a couple minutes of waiting. If it's a big group, you need a reservation. Parking is street parking or in the parking lot where Aldi is. read more

I'm not a carnivore but they had some great vegetarian sides. I wish they cooked their fries in a separate fryer than the chicken. The waffle fries are amazing but had a bit of chicken taste. All my friends loved the meat selections for the bbq - garlic shrimp, bulgogi, and pork. Service is on top of their game and super friendly. Great place when you have a big group. read more

If you've never experienced this, you must go. Our server was excellent and gave us a thorough rundown of everything, which was much appreciated! It is somewhat pricey, but worth every penny. I tried so many meats that I wouldn't normally eat, and I was pleasantly surprised at which ones I liked. A cool experience, and even if you've never had Korean food, grab a friend and give it a go! read more

New owner or management is . He is rude and yells. Always get reservations messed up. They lose reservations and if you don't confirm the reservation, you will lose it. I miss the old management because the food is amazing. We were supposed to celebrate a birthday today but because I missed their call to confirm reservations - they gave my reservations away. Their call was also irrelevant asking if we needed a high chair. If we needed a high chair, it would've been requested. Poor poor management. Ambiance is good otherwise, just bring new management again!! read more

Don't wait don't stop just get here! This place is hitting on all the taste buds. They give a tray of traditional Korean appetizers ie kimchi seaweed salad and many others when you sit down. The vibe is so amazing. Beam me to Soul South Korea Scotty. Wall art work, full wall TVs with Korean pop artists videos playing edgy booth decor. You'll love it. Now to the menu. One page of all you can eat meat selections beef, pork, chicken, squid, and shrimp in different flavors. Then two pages of alcohol! Don't miss the sojourn flight. They gave me a HEAVY wine pour, which I turned down ( not). The food was amazing! They kept asking if we wanted more, of course we did. Although there was finally a moment where we couldn't put down any more. The servers were so helpful and very responsive. I can't believe I have missed this gem, it must be new. Don't cheat yourself out of a great Korean BBQ, just go. read more

This place is my number 1 go to for AYCE KBBQ. Why? because the service is always top tier, the ambiance is very trendy, and the food is spot on! I've only been to this place twice but I always recommend this place to my friends and family. The price might be too much to some people, but it is so worth it. you can literally order anything non-stop from the sides to KBBQ Meat. If you are planning to come here on weekends, I suggest making a reservation even if there is only 2 of you because there will always be wait to get a table. I suggest being patient with the staff because, although they have a lot of sitting area, people stay longer if they have a bigger party with them. Their tiramisu was pretty good too, they serve a small piece but it was enough for me and my husby but you can always order more if you want to. Parking can be tricky but we just take our chance and park by ALDI across the street. Overall, this place is 5/5 for me because the meat quality is pretty good compare to other KBBQ in VA Beach area. read more

We loved our visit to this Kbbq spot!! Pro tip: make a reservation!! They take reservations on Yelp and it will make you top priority when you walk in- especially on the weekends!! You may have to still wait for a few moments until a table opens up, but it will definitely be a shorter wait than if you hadn't. I love that they bring out all the accoutrements to your table & you don't have to concoct all your own sauces and dips like some other spots I've been to. The waitress we had was super helpful & she was so kind in answering any questions we had! The service was fast, the food was amazingly seasoned- our favorite was the spicy pineapple bulgogi! I especially loved the K-pop music that was playing in the restaurant. This place was the real deal & we will be back. Bonus you eat free here on your birthday!!!!! read more

You're surrounded by it , but in a good way cuz you're gonna be too into eating that bulgogi and vibing to it crazy. Servers are replacing the grill wherever you need it and stay attentive to it so you can relax and relax. I can guarantee the sound of the meat cooking, the ambiance of everyone talking, laughing, having a good time, and EATING will definitely be all you need and will make you want to come back every time read more

Our first time here and the banchans did not disappoint. They were all delicious specially the raddish. For the meat, the galbi, ribeye steak and the bulgogi tasted super yummy. They were Marinated well. We liked that the seafood pancake and japchae are already included in the AYCE. So worth it for $35 all day. Service is fast and friendly. The ambiance is so K-Pop. Definitely like the ones in Korea. Definitely found our new favorite K-BBQ. read more

TL;DR: Food was excellent, decor was stylish and welcoming, and clever seating storage was a nice touch. The restaurant is very loud during birthday celebrations (fun for some, overwhelming for others). Table space is tight and bulky serving dishes don't help. Biggest issue was poor reservation handling and slow, inconsistent service, long wait despite a reservation, being seated late, long gaps with an empty grill, and minimal server check-ins unless flagged down. I can't deny the food was absolutely amazing. Being able to pop open the seats to stow our jackets and coats was an awesome plus and the decor was asteticaly pleasing and welcoming, reminding me of restaurants in Korea and L.A. I know people are having fun and it seems its part of the restaurants branding so its not a negative complaint but a heads up that there is a lot of relentless hollering and shouting during the birthday celebrations. My recommendation to the restaurant, while the tables aren't the biggest I've seen smaller, whoever chooses the serving dishes should research some better options. Main example is this large box that held the ban chans takes up so much of the minimal space available. My complaint is also a lesson learned for me. I made a reservation online for a party of 4 at 6:24 for 8 to celebrate a college graduation with family. We arrived a few minutes early. At 8:04 the Hostess tells me that they just received our reservation. While I am empathetic that the restaurant is busy the inefficiency of the reservation system is not my responsibility. She then tells me it will take 20 minutes. After watching others who arrived after get seated we were called 40 minutes later. Understanding time is crunched that much further I am happy to take on the challenge. However our server approached our table to ask what we needed 3 times (initial order, follow-up on the initial, and the notification of last call). Our grill was empty for 29 minutes after the food from the initial order was completely cooked. Any other interaction with a server was accomplished by flagging them them down. So I'm willing to try again after checking out some other places but I understand now that the reservation system is unreliable and therefore reserve for much earlier. read more

A friend mentioned this KBBQ and so I gave them a try. Very underwhelming and does a disservice to KBBQ name. As someone who often goes to kbbq in San Diego, Los Angeles, etc, this simply doesn't cut it. Bland soy bean soup, sad steamed egg, sample size sides, etc. I honestly don't expect too much in Norfolk area, but it has to be better than this. Increased variety of meats, sides, and simply need more options. Service was meh, and ambiance is definitely good. Has potential. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!! The Manager with blonde hair clearly has no idea what he's doing as a host. My boyfriend and I were really excited to eat here as it being my first time to KBBQ and Virginia. We called ahead to see if we can make a reservation and the gentleman on the phone said that we couldn't make a reservation but that we could be put on the waitlist, and that he would call us when a table would be ready. Johnson table for 2. Okay Great, We drive 30 mins out of the way without any call for the table. We get there (with no greeting at door). I used the restroom and when I returned my boyfriend asked the host if we were ready to be seated. To our surprise, the host told him that he had given our table away. He told that we were SUPPOSED TO BE HERE AT 5:30... We had arrived at 5:39 and waited to be called for our table. When we told him that we didn't receive a text or call, He said that there was nothing he could do and that the wait was gonna be an hour longer even though We had already waited an hour and 30 mins. We decided to take our business elsewhere. It's really disappointing because I'm out here for a trip and my boyfriend was really excited to bring me here. Y'all have got to fix that system read more

The food was amazing. High quality meats and side dishes. The service was amazing; our server was consistently checking in on us and switching out the grill. The vibe is up beat, super trendy and cool. The K-pop music with visuals on both a tv and a projector really add to the ambiance. The only downside is the wait time can be long to get seated even if you have a reservation. read more

If you're seeing this in May, here's your nudge to go check out their APIHM check-in offer! We came to take advantage of the $5 off meal which ended up being fantastic! Came on a weekday night around 6pm and it was quite busy. There were only two of us so we weren't able to make a reservation, but luckily we were sat right away. Atmosphere is cool, hip and totally gives off fun vibes. Big screens with K-Pop music videos. Service was fantastic. Our server, Carlos, was insanely helpful, friendly, welcoming and efficient. If I come back, I will ask to sit in his section again. I hope management is able to relay our thanks to him! Food-wise, everything was delicious. We tried a wide variety of the menu. The potato bandan was delicious, the meat quality was superior compared to other places in the area, the seafood pancake was SO FLAVORFUL! Honestly, zero complaints! We will be back! read more

The meat quality is amazing! The ban chan (side dishes) leave more to be desired but the kimchi is sufficient enough to enjoy your meal. I was a little disappointed in the doenjang jjigae, it tasted a little watery to me. The servers are really attentive. Their cocktails are good, not great. I enjoyed my drink however some of my friends made remarks that their drinks were too sweet/sugary to enjoy. must orders: beef bulgogi, beef brisket, garlic shrimp Keep in mind that you are limited to 2 hours for dining if they are busy. ALSO! if you come into dine either 3 days before or 3 days after your birthday, you get a free meal! I do not recommend going in a group larger than 4 as their seating is limited and you will need to sit at separate tables. Highly recommend making a reservation as wait times can be longer than an hour at peak busy times. read more
