    If i could rate it 10 stars I would! This is a small ma n pa place where they made my mom n i feel so welcomed and cared for! I ordered the Bibimbap which had tender beef and other veggies + egg. Usually other Korean places don't serve bibimbap with a lot of flavor and tastes plain but this dish had me almost licking the bowl clean it does have some spice with the gochugang seasoning sauce that you mix with the rice but i love a little kick! My mom ordered the grilled chicken and that comes with rice and 2 side dishes which provides you a handful of nice options! She wanted kimchi and japchae which is a sweet potato starch noodle seasoned with sesame seeds and oil. (She loved it and she's usually picky with her food) The service was amazing and it took about 10 min or so for the food to be ready. One of the workers/owner provided us with a free potato croquette and their cookies and coffee. I'm not usually a coffee drinker but whatever that coffee had i wanted more of! Now i know what to order next time! Final words: Please support small businesses like this one! It wasn't really busy when we came in and i encourage everyone to give them a try! i will definitely be coming again and bringing my friends. Don't let the slight sketch area deter you. It's a great place to try a different cuisine and appreciate the hard work from the owners through their food

    2nd time here. Good did not miss. The meat is tender and flavorful the cucumber and kimchi is great. The prices are great although I wouldn't mind paying more for a bigger portion. I will continue to come when craving korean beef and kimchi it's great to have close by. Definitely recommend and will try their kalbi next time.

    I'm not going to lie, I was a bit nervous when my husband pulled up to the plaza where Gogini Korean BBQ is located. When he sent the yelp link to me, all I did was look at the food and tell him, yes. So I had no idea where we were going. But to my genuine surprise, I was impressed and glad we came in. Greeted by the "Pop" of this Mom and Pop running this gem, he quickly explained the options for us. I was very impressed with the food. Having a little one with us, it's not easy to go to an on-the-grill type of KBBQ, so this was a great alternative. Order a plate and get two banchan (sides) with your order. a bowl gets you one. We had the bulgogi and the pork plate with japchae, kimchi and spicy cucumber - everything was so good and flavorful. We also got the kimchi fried rice to-go - which my husband ate ALL of in the middle of the night. I only had a taste of it while at the restaurant. it was actually spicier than I was anticipating it would be. Then, the "Mom" of this gem came by with a delicious treat that my little one can also enjoy. It was like a somi-somi (taiyaki) dessert. It was so yummy and not too sweet. We so appreciate the extra care and thought. The next day we wanted to try the tacos. Let me tell you, Get Them! Can't find the Kogi Truck? Don't need to look far for some delicious street tacos - Korean style! The green salsa that comes with it gives it an extra kick. We'll definitely be ordering again and again.

    With a toddler, a traditional AYCE KBBQ is not an option, so we were glad to have discovered a place nearby that we don't have to drive to Cerritos/Artesia for. We went on a Friday night and were kindly greeted by who I think are the owners. I had the beef bulgogi plate and my wife had the pork, and they were both really impressive! Each plate comes with two banchan sides and the japchae and kimchi were perfect compliments to the marinated BBQ over rice. To our surprise, they had us try some dessert that I could only describe as a waffle mochi exterior with vanilla ice cream and red bean. The kimchi fried was good, although we didn't expect it to be spicy. Overall, we're glad to have authentic KBBQ just minutes away.

    Love this place. Made from scratch. Got the kimchi soup and spicy chicken combo and it was home-style cooking. The chicken was so soft! The soup had the right spicy level!

    I'm deeply grateful to Karen at Gogini BBQ for preparing beautiful lunch boxes for my family and friends for my baby's 1st birthday. She provided 3 types of delicious lunches: bulgogi, chicken, and bibimbap. Not only were the portions amazingly generous (the bulgogi & chicken plates also came with various types of tasty side dishes), but she included a side of seaweed soup per meal (what a pleasant surprise!), and spicy cucumber and kimchi trays at no additional cost. An abundant number of utensils, napkins, and sauces were included, too! What I really appreciate about this restaurant is the honest care and thoughtfulness in the food that they make. When I first spoke with Karen, she shared that she really cares about the health of the food; for example, she purchases good quality beef and trims out the chunks of fat. I was really surprised by this level of attention and it made me appreciate her food even more. Thank you, Karen, and team who went above and beyond to help make my baby's 1st birthday a wonderful and smooth event.

    We were on our way to LA from the I.E and I wanted to stop and eat before actually getting into LA. I love supporting small business--this one is located in the Bellflower First Plaza with 7-11 in the corner. This is NOT all you can eat but that was what we wanted--a little hole-in-the-wall mom& pop shop. Low key atmosphere away from the public and not all boujee club-like Gen lol I love KBBQ but sometimes we don't want to spend money for AYCE due to my partner's medical issue keeps him from eating a ton of food so Gogini was perfect for us (or for to-go orders)! Bowls are smaller portions than plates, which helps if you don't want to spend a lot of money or don't want a lot of food. For the price point, I feel it was fair for how fresh, cook-to-order the meal was, and for the portion. Meat was seasoned well, good cuts, and very filling. Kimchi, rice, japache noodles --all great! We got a plate, bowl, Thai tea /boba +20%tip for $45 this is about what I spend when I go out for two people. The cashier/chef who helped us was very courteous, sweet, and I wish them success in their business. Very satisfied :)

    Bruce & karen Lee, they're the most friendly owner of Korean BBQ.

    This place is a gem in the neighborhood. We ordered Beef Short Rib, Grilled Shrimp, Bibimbop and Tteokbokki. Our favorite was Beef short Rib and the Spicy Cucumber(Side). Owners are very kind and friendly and food was so good with authentic Korean taste.

    We. Loved. Everything! Ordered this for work lunch, and everyone loved everything on their plate (pics taken 5 mins after we got back to the office and so much food is already gone ). Only feedback is the cucumbers could be cut thinner, but still yummy! We will definitely be back *note, not sure if we'd eat there, space was small, only about 3-4 tables, fast food seating vibe.

    I was in the neighborhood and looked up a place on Yelp for dinner, and I found this place... Now I wish I lived closer. It's a small place, but the tables were empty (how?!), and the service was great! My food was made fresh, and I loved it! It has a very homemade feel to it. It's a casual place where you can drop in after work or order takeout for lunch. I plan to drop by in the future whenever I'm in the area again! If you live by here, you should really give this place a try!

    I love what the new ownership has done with this familiar Korean eatery. It has been transformed…read moreinto one of the area's premier destinations for authentic Korean comfort food, embracing the traditions of slow-cooked, homestyle recipes passed down through generations. Every dish reflects a dedication to Korean culinary heritage, arriving at the table bubbling, sizzling, and steaming with irresistible aromas. Step inside and you are welcomed by the comforting scent of toasted sesame, simmering garlic, and richly fermented broths that instantly make you feel at home. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and unpretentious, capturing the feeling of gathering around a family dinner table. The menu celebrates soulful Korean classics with bold fermented flavors, slow-simmered stews, casseroles, salad wrap combinations, noodle dishes, and grilled fish, alongside shareable favorites like Korean chive pancakes, seafood pancakes, and abalone porridge. Every meal begins with one of the best complimentary spreads of banchan in town. The assortment is vibrant, tangy, spicy, and refreshingly diverse, featuring dishes that are increasingly difficult to find at many Korean restaurants. Our table included a variety of namul (seasoned vegetables), steamed eggplant, creamy Korean potato salad, japchae, and wonderfully fresh kimchi. Each side dish provided its own balance of flavor and texture while perfectly complementing both steamed rice and the main courses. **Dwaeji Bossam (Steamed Pork with Napa Cabbage) + Doenjang Jjigae (Soybean Paste Stew) Combo, plus banchan - $45.99** The bossam showcases beautifully prepared pork belly that is incredibly moist, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth rich without any unwanted pork odor. Thin slices of pork are elegantly arranged like ribbons and served alongside an impressive assortment of accompaniments: spicy julienned radish kimchi (musaengchae), sliced raw garlic, fresh jalapeños, ssamjang (sweet and savory fermented soybean chili paste), saeujeot (salted fermented shrimp), carrot and cucumber sticks, crisp green leaf lettuce, and blanched napa cabbage for wrapping. Every condiment serves a purpose. The crunchy radish kimchi cuts through the richness of the pork with bright acidity and spice. The saeujeot delivers an intensely savory burst of umami, while the ssamjang contributes a balanced combination of sweetness, heat, and fermented depth. Wrapped together inside fresh lettuce or tender napa cabbage, every bite becomes an explosion of contrasting textures and harmonious flavors. The accompanying doenjang jjigae is equally satisfying. The fermented soybean paste creates a deep, aged savoriness that is rich yet mellow, supported by anchovy stock, garlic, and just enough heat from sliced jalapeños. A slightly thickened broth envelopes silky tofu, tender zucchini, onions, and potatoes, creating one of Korean cuisine's most comforting stews. **Eun Daegu Jorim (Braised Black Cod) - $48.99** The braised black cod is another standout. Buttery, flaky pieces of fish are gently simmered in a glossy reduction that perfectly balances savory, sweet, spicy, and umami flavors. Thick chunks of radish slowly absorb the rich braising liquid until they become almost as satisfying as the fish itself. Just before serving, the dish is finished with freshly diced green onions that contribute brightness and a subtle bite to this deeply comforting classic. Service deserves special recognition. Every member of the staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. My family felt immediately at ease from the moment we walked through the door. The servers anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, quietly refilling water glasses and clearing finished plates with thoughtful timing. What impressed me most was the kindness they showed my mother, treating her with genuine warmth, sincere compliments, and the type of hospitality that made us feel less like customers and more like welcomed guests in someone's home. This restaurant beautifully showcases everything that makes Korean comfort food so beloved: slow-cooked recipes made entirely from scratch, deeply flavorful stews, generous portions, exceptional banchan, and heartfelt hospitality. Between the authentic homestyle cooking, robust flavors, and caring service, it has quickly become one of the finest places in the area to experience the warmth and comfort of traditional Korean cuisine.

    There are so many Korean food choices around Cerritos and La Palma adjacent areas…read more Nearly all have a specific type of food preparation different from each other. This location has served cold noodle soup (mulnaengmyun) all the years we have come. The most recent owner is also female, and her kitchen and front end staff are all female. By far, this serves the best cold noodle soup and thin chewy buckwheat noodles. The hot summer days certainly bring in a crowd! The side dishes or banchan change frequently, my favorites are the tomato and apple, onion and parsley plus the house made kimchi. Occasionally they have the white or non spicy kimchi which is so delicious and refreshing. We often get the combo cold noodle with beef bulgogi (thin sliced marinated beef) or kalbi (LA style short rib sliced across and marinated then grilled). Love the bossam plate :boiled pork belly served with vegetables for wrapping. Also good is the marinated chicken & veggie wraps combo. The gamjeatang or pork spare rib spicy stew if full of tender pork and stewed vegetables, that I feel is a healthy alternative to the grilled meats. The boochoo neon (I hope I spelled that correctly) or chive pancake is done so well here: tender and crispy on the edges. Great for sharing as an appetizer. They also have a barley dish that is mostly vegetarian with spicy sauce. Very glad they are open daily and until 9 pm (last call is about 830). Many families and golf buddies or business partners frequent the place. Quiet, thankfully has A/C cranked to cold most year round, so you can enjoy your meal in comfort. The manager (Joy) and servers are unfailingly quiet and priced excellent service.

    Dae Bak feels like a place you sit down and let the meal take its time…read more The menu is simple and comforting. Homey Korean staples, not giant menu chaos. The inside is clean and cozy: warm wood paneling, booth seating and an old-school Korean restaurant feel. Nothing flashy. It just feels comfortable. Service was good, but the pacing was slow. Banchan came out with the entrees instead of before, so the table sat empty for a bit. The entrees came out around 20 minutes in. The Korean pancake took closer to 30. The banchan spread was simple but fresh. Sesame broccoli. Marinated potato chunks. Kimchi. Pickled cucumbers. Lightly dressed mayo macaroni. Nothing wild, but everything tasted clean and did its job. The beef soondubu was solid. The jjigae was balanced and rich, with soft tofu and enough beef to make the bowl feel complete. It came out bubbling hot, ready for the raw egg to hit the broth and disappear into comfort. I got medium heat, but it ate pretty mild, so go higher if you want actual spice. The stone pot bibimbap was good, but I wanted more from it for the price. More vegetables, bigger bowl, more of that loaded bibimbap feeling. The sweet gochujang sauce had good flavor, but barely any heat. Good bowl. A little restrained. The Korean pancake was the all-kill of the meal. No lip sync. Fried beautifully. Crisp edges. Good chew. Green onion, onion and zucchini in every bite. The batter had a hint of caramelized fried egg flavor, which made it taste richer. Dip it in the sauce for that salty, savory lift. Bite it with kimchi and the whole thing wakes up: crisp, rich, tangy, gone. It showed up last and still became the reason to come back. They also have a seafood version, which is dangerous information to learn after the pancake already won the meal. Parking was easy during lunch, with plenty of spaces in the strip mall lot. But with an AYCE restaurant in the same plaza, weekends or busier dinner hours might be a different story. Great food quality, cozy space and the kind of meal that asks you to slow down whether you planned to or not. The pacing was slow, but the food had enough care behind it to keep the meal worth it. Come hungry, but not in a hurry. And get the pancake.
