We went here late night around 9PM to try it out because it had good reviews and now we know why. The food was absolutely delicious. My husband got the bulgogi entree and I asked for the japchae with tofu. We also got an order of veggie fried rice and it's a dang good fried rice. The owner was very nice and patient while we looked at the menu and the place itself was cute and clean. Definitely recommend!
This was my first time visiting Arizona, and I'm so glad I trusted my gut and gave this place a try! The portions were huge, easily enough to share among 3-4 people. My partner and I really enjoyed our meals, and everything was just as delicious as it looked. The dining area was clean, and the customer service was excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and never made us feel rushed. I would definitely come back the next time I'm in Arizona!
I've been here a few times and have always enjoyed coming here when I need something to eat thats fast casual but not completely fast food. After climbing on Saturday night, I was hungry and wanted some soup. My favorite Korean soup is any kind of soondubu, which is a tofu soup. I love tofu, grew up eating it and its a staple in my diet. I came in here around 9pm and the owner (ahjussi- means middle ages man or boss) is always very nice to me. I ordered the seafood tofu soup, mild, no spice. He rang me up and my order came to a little over $15 with tax and with tip, was under $20 for me. You get a little buzzer that lights up when your food is ready. Ahjussi was nice and brought me my soup as it was very hot and steaming. I sat in front of one of the TVs and happily watched K pop videos while having my very hot and satisfying tofu soup. Even though I ordered it mild, its still a little spicy so be prepared for that. I can only handle mild. There were a few mussels in it, some squid and a nice plump shrimp. Soondobu was a little smaller than at other places but I didnt mind. It also comes with white rice (not purple) and the egg is already in the tofu soup. Also, note, no banchan (side dishes) is served but remember this is fast casual Korean. If you want an authentic Korean food experience, go to a tradition tofu soup house like The Stone Korean Tofu House in Mesa. My experience at GOGI made me want to take a trip to South Korea - I have always wanted to visit! Overall, I love this place and also know you're supporting local too. Ill be back again and again!
A quick craving for bibimbap led me here. It's a self seating, order at the front restaurant. I orders the spicy pork bibimbap in a hot stone. Have no complaints on the food it was good. All parts of the bowl mixed well and was very balanced. Pork was not spicy but that is fine as they give you a bottle of sauce to adjust the heat to your liking.
안녕하세요, This is a great place to check out Korean dishes without being yelled at by an 아줌마. This location has some new dishes and some spicy options. It is located in a plaza right next to Snowtime (convenient for dessert). The owners and staff are friendly and dishes arrive hot and freshly made. I love the many options of noodles, rice or soups/stews. If you like seafood you have to try the seafood pancake The dishes are a fusion of korean dishes with American palates which makes the food more appealing for those who may be overwhelmed by trying new dishes they have seen on a K-drama or in a K-pop video. Great fried chicken!They also have great tradional style dishes of gogi=meat or bap=cooked rice, chigae=stew, etc. I had their spicy pork with udon noodles which is usually a soup but came as a stew. It came in a flavorful gochujang sauce. It was a bit spicy tempered by a sweetness. As a Korean I can taste that recipes are a bit sweeter than traditional dishes, but that is not a bad thing. The dining area is relatively quiet so you can carry on conversations or enjoy some of the K-pop hits. The prices are fair and the serving sizes are sufficient. This is a friendly place to expand your palate and branch out to try some flavorful options. 잘 먹겠습니다!
Met up with some folks for dinner here on a Friday evening. I don't find myself in this part of town often but it seemed fairly happening. This spot wasn't too busy when we arrived which was good. I ordered the veggie yakisoba and the protein choices were chicken or shrimp. I asked if I could get tofu instead since I prefer that. We grabbed a table outside and waited for our food. We were given buzzers to notify us when our dishes were ready. I grabbed our food from inside and noticed that mine had both chicken and shrimp in it, but I decided it was fine and ate my bowl. I liked it, I added some chili sauce since it was in the sweet side. Not too many shrimp pieces but there was enough chicken and veggies. I also tried the kimchi fries which were good. Service was friendly and our table enjoyed their food. I'd come back and try some different dishes if I'm in the area.
The fried chicken was an easy 10/10--crispy, juicy, and packed with rich garlic flavor. The thick sauce complemented the chicken perfectly, and the portion size was huge, making it well worth the price. The restaurant itself was clean, conveniently located, and had a welcoming atmosphere. The service was excellent--the server was always friendly. However, the ramen was just alright. It tasted almost identical to Shin Ramen straight out of the package. Don't get me wrong, I love Shin Ramen, but if that's what I wanted, I would've just made it at home. If you're coming here, I'd definitely recommend the fried chicken, but maybe skip the ramen.
I honestly love this place. I usually order the Galbi or Bulgogi Bento Box, both amazing. The sweet and salty combo of their meat marinade is delicious. The service is always great, it's the same guy working the counter every time I go in and he's really friendly. I highly recommend this place, it has a very clean atmosphere and always hits the spot.

Great, clean express Korean food. My husband's restaurant used to own Chinese Korean restaurants in South Korea and SF, and he said this is quite legit. Good Kim Chi - very tasty. PaJeon (seafood pancake) - crispy on the outside and seafood was cooked to perfection. Korean Fried Chicken - both original and sweet and spicy are very good Bibimbap - bulgogi is too sweet for my liking. But not bad Spicy Pork bento box - very good Jajiangmyuen- very good. Unfortunately, camera didn't get to eat until the end. Spicy Pork Belly - excellent. Highly recommended. Tteokbokki- stirred fried rice cake - rice cake was tough, too al dente but good flavors. Jjamppong (spicy seafood) noodles - texture of the noodles is a little bit more al dente than my liking but broth are yummy. Very authentic flavors. Highly recommended. read more
We went to this place in off peak, and the food came out quick. I ordered the original Korean fried chicken, my wife ordered the stone pot rice, and my son ordered the dumplings with noodles. All tasted great and very Korean style. Highly recommended. The server/owner was very nice and friendly. read more
Not from the Arizona area, but still a professional when it comes to eating good Korean food! I was really glad that the area had something so convenient for me to enjoy, along with the flavor being there! I thoroughly enjoyed this family's restaurant, I felt that the food was not oily and relatively well portioned for the price. The restaurant is clean, there is lots of seating, the menu is straightforward. This is just a personal preference, but I was a little bit sad that they didn't have any Korean sides. I would have really enjoyed some kimchi or even some radish has an optional side. read more

The bibimbap was ok, not the best I had, there was too much sprout in the dish, and didn't have enough beef. But the fried chicken were great, very good flavor and crispy. read more

Yess!!! Finally a good Korean food location in the Valley. All the food we ordered were delicious and some I forgot to take a picture Let's start off with their Bulgogi Bibimbap. 5/5(Don't order this TOGo since the experience is to have it cook on the stone plate to get that crispy rice texture before mixing it with the variety of veggies (sesame oil, and kimchi flavor veggies) and meat. Basically like a Korean fried rice dish. Kimchi pancake.- 5/5. Perfectly crispy on the outside with variety of Korean veggies on the inside and not too salty. This was a a god size where you can size it with others as an appetizer. Orange chicken- I didn't taste it, but my mother in law enjoyed it and noted it was crispy to her liking. As for the restaurant itself, it was clean and the staffs were friendly. read more
Don't usual give 5 stars to "fast food" & was a little doubtful when we were walking up. But as soon as we walked it, my mind & attitude changed. It didn't smell greasy, to restaurant was clean, bright, & nicely decorated. The gentleman was very nice. The food...OMG fried chicken as I've always dreamed of! It's what you want & hardly ever get...crispy, but the light crunchy kind. So meaty, juicy, & not overly saucy. As Golidlocks would say, "Just right!" The other dishes were just as satisfying, but I came for the fried chicken & did not disappoint! Also loved walking out of there not smelling like my food. read more
After a pickleball session nearby, I came here to grab dinner. This place was clean and empty as I came in an hour before closing. I ordered the soy garlic wings and the spicy pork bulgogi bowl. Both were pretty good. It wasn't the best I have ever had, but it was good. The bowl was loaded with veggies and meat and they did not skimp. Overall, a good place to eat if you are craving for Korean food. read more
Another one of our guest's favorite restaurants as he knows my wife loves Korean food. Quality/Quantity - Fast casual restaurant. Simple menu done well. Today we got the following: Chicken Hot Stone Bibimbap - Piping hot, so be careful. Generous portions. My wife could not finish. See picture of all 4 entrees to compare the size of this entree. Bulgogi Bento Box - My guest's choice and probably the most popular dish here. Single serving, good flavors. I was and should have ordered this. It would have been a perfect lunch, but I wanted to try something different. Spicy Squid and Pork (Belly) - I did not fully read the menu... I did not know it was pork belly, bacon. Not the jerky kind that I like (see Las Vegas Slater 50/50 Yelp review). I enjoyed the squid portion of my entree more. I did not finish my entree either, but more so because I did not enjoy it. But it was of a decent portion. Spicy Beef Brisket Ramen - I would have ordered this. But glad I didn't as my daughter did. The broth had a good flavor. I would have preferred my noodles more al dente, but she likes it soggy as it was made. The brisket was also overcooked in my opinion, but she liked it also. What I really wanted to order most was the KFC, Korean Fried Chicken, but I really need to start eating healthier. :) Atmosphere - Small local business. Indoor or outdoor seating. Open 7 days a week from 11am to 9pm or 10pm. Plenty of mall parking. Service - Counter service. After ordering, they give you a pager to come back to pick up your food. And you bus your own tables. Self service utensils, water, etc. The owner was friendly. Price - $68, reasonably priced for Korean food. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success at this location since 2022 and with all your other locations. read more

This was our 3rd visit and each and every time we are greeted with warm welcomes. We are a family of 6 with little ones and they are always so sweet to our kids. The food here is our favorite Korean food to enjoy. Unfortunately we live in Tucson so we don't get to come often but everytime we do, it's a treat! This tofu seafood soup was very hearty and spicy with lots of flavor. We also love the sweet pork bentos. Everything is so good!! read more

The fried veggies and shrimp tempura yummy!! Wings were good! We will be returning! read more

Great Korean food! Tried this spot recently after shipping in the area and we were starving. We love Korean food in general so it's tough to exceed our expectations! We both ordered hot stone bibimbap bowls with different meats. The portions are HUGE! Everything was delicious and priced fair. Will definitely return if ever in the neighborhood read more

Simple place but with a huge wpw factor. I was on a time pinch and came in for a quick meal. As someone who's been to Korea, I'm always interested in finding a new spot. This food is amazing! The bulgogi was so good. The little salad had ginger added and my gosh so good and fresh. Definitely want to come back and try the Jjajangmyen(black noodles). 100% try this place out! read more

This was just what we needed! The bulgogi hot plate is healthy, sizzling, and flavorful. It looks like more than it is though - shallow bowl. We also got the seafood pancake to start, which was a bit too oily for me, but still found it comforting. It has chunks of octopus (didn't taste any other type of seafood). I enjoyed it, but I give three stars because the dish was low on the beef. If you're gonna skimp on meat, the price should be lower. They're making a huge margin on this food because it's mainly veggies. When I saw the plate, my gosh, the price just seemed off. The place itself is super casual (counter service, not much ambiance besides a TV playing BTS videos) so don't come here expecting a nice Korean restaurant. read more

This is just about the only good authentic Korean place in phoenix, Not just that, it's really good. The guys here are super nice and helpful when explaining the dishes they have. Personally I like the fast casual plaza restaurants but it's not for everybody and I could see this place getting crowded on a busy day. TL:DR: great place 9/10 will be going here regularly for fast, good, and authentic Korean. read more

It was done, expected more for the ratings. Fried chicken was good but came out way too hot to eat. The short ribs were super fatty, definitely would not get those. But decent prices so I'd probably try it again. read more
