I enjoyed my visit to GoGogiri! The man running everything was very nice while also giving us our space. I recommend eating in store. It was a pleasure to eat everything just freshly prepared. No one rushed us at any point in our visit. My favorite was the wagyu onigiri. I found it to be very balanced and interesting. I would not eat off the floors here. Kitchen was open concept and looked clean, but some of the corners in the dining area and bathroom had some crumbs. Okay by me for this price point. 3 adults left stuffed for ~$40. read more

I love onigiri but there's really no place doing it like Gogogiri. This is different from traditional onigiri flavors but the Asian-inspired fillings fit well with the Texas location and Texas sized portions. While I did takeout, since each onigiri is made to order, it was a bit of wait, albeit a pleasant one with the cute retro decorations and calm atmosphere. This is a late review but when I went, parking was easy and the restaurant was not busy. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Since I wanted to try the different options, I opted for the smaller size for the single flavor onigiris (as seen in the bottom row), which was still filling and delicious. The rice is nice and sticky although the way it is made seems like the rice ball breaks apart a little too easy. The katsu is chopped into small pieces and mixed with a spicy mayo sauce so you get an even bite of crisp, meat, and sauce each time. The spam was good and salty, but it's hard to mess up spam. The two I was looking forward to the most were the larger onigiri (top row), which had a mix of two meats per onigiri: Wagyu and Pork, and wagyu and katsu. It took a little to understand the texture but overall, everything was super delicious. I'll have to come back again and try their other menu options besides the onigiri. I'd love if they are able to open more locations outside of DFW! read more

I've been seeing so many ads of GoGogiri on TikTok as well as from my mutuals, so I finally gave it a try. Food (4/5); The food-me and my brother thought the onigiris were great! We both think the prez is unique-it's great but we don't know how we feel about chicken and meat mixed together. I think next time we would just get a separate wagyu and a katsu. We can see why it's popular though! The meat was very flavorful and the katsu had that perfect crunch. The bbq chicken bao bun was mid, we could've passed on that. It wasn't crazy or anything, we expected more. My brother loved the fries-the fries was unique. Sweet and savory fries. The chicken sandwich was good, but I'm just not used to eating dark meat. It was alright, but the rice balls were the best! Service (5/5): The service was spectacular and spot on. Everyone was extremely nice and helofu The ambiance is cool. Very chill, relaxing, feels like you're at home, super cozy. Ambiance (5/5): Very homie and cozy with all the options of booths and couches as well as the multiple TV's around the store. read more

FOOD -Pork Onigiri -Tuna Onigiri -Wagyu Onigiri -Shrimp Tempura -Katsu Onigiri -Spam Onigiri -Ube Sweet Bao Bun Overall the onigiri has a lot of potential. There is a lot of rice overall and the onigiri is pretty big. The fillings are so yummy. I personally liked the katsu and the spam. Those were most flavorful. The wagyu was in bits (which I didn't expect) and a tad bit on the saltier side but still yum. Other than there being a little too much rice, overall yummy! The Ube Sweet Bao Bun is SOOOO GOOD. The inside oozes with flavor and it tastes like ube. Not too sweet and definitely recommend getting! If I did have a recommendation, I would say that it would be cool if the onigiris were smaller with a greater variety of flavors. Also the presentation is a little lacking but if there's like a little pizazz with sauce and some toppings, that would elevate it by a lot. VIBES There are some seating with booths and there are little dividers that offer some privacy. Pretty limited seating but great for grab and go. Not super duper decorated but clean and neat. SERVICE The people were really nice and patient. Food did take around 10-15 minutes to come out but that was fine. I had a chance to speak to the owners and they were also very pleasant to speak to. Very sweet! read more

Came after seeing them on Instagram and I really liked it! The place is simple and the menu is easy to read and decipher. The portions are generous and the food was good. I got the Chef's special onigiri, the chicken bao, and the Ube bao. Def would get them all again. Especially the bao! Now, I'm not gonna say they'll blow your mind or anything, but it's good enough that I'd eat it again. Chicken katsu is actually soooo good! Perfect level of crisp! My friend that had the scallion pancake said it's nothing special but that it wasn't bad. It was $2.99 so she said for the price she'd get it again. Internal decor is minimal, clean, and organized. Their booth's have privacy screens which we really really liked. I recommend you check them out! read more

Onigiri holds a dear place in my heart. The compact, convenient, and affordable meal was my source of energy both times I visited Tokyo. This place is great! I've gone twice since they opened and their food definitely hits the spot. Although it's not the same small convenience store onigiri you can get in the streets of Tokyo, for that reason two of these can fill you up quite a bit. The filling is pleasant and light and if you want even more flavor you can ask them to add sauces inside of the onigiri - I will definitely try this next time. On top of that, they also have bao buns. I ordered the chicken bao bun which is a great combination of sweet and savory. The service is very nice as well. My second time I got to speak with the owner who said this is their third location, with one in Lubbock and one in Abilene. The anime playing on one screen and music playing on the other sets a welcoming and chill ambiance that makes you want to keep coming back. Definitely give this place a try, there's something for everyone. read more

Gogogiri is a restaurant specializing in onigiri with non traditional fillings. I came here for the grand opening and there are currently 6 options for their onigiri. Each onigiri comes with a specific sauce that is part of the filling but this is fully customizable. They also have a couple other items on their menu including dumplings, baos, and spam musubi. I decided on the katsu, wagyu, tuna, and fried shrimp onigiri. The filling to rice ratio was good but flavor was a bit underwhelming for a few of the items. The rice was a bit bland and I wish there was more crisp nori for a contrast of flavor. Overall my favorite was the wagyu, which was more like bulgogi. I think I was a bit disappointed since I'm used to more classic fillings. Service was a bit slow for my order but it was understandable as it was their first day. Value of each onigiri was ok. Portions are big but prices are expectedly higher. read more

I love onigiri so I was so excited when this opened! It's a cute store with about 6 tables for dine in. I got to go 3 onigiri, Chefs special, Presidents, and Shrimp Tempura, and a pork bao bun. The chefs special was delicious but the rice was not well compressed so it did fall apart pretty easily which defeated the portability of onigiri in my opinion. All very good though, I'll be back! read more

Wow! What a little gem in Dallas to have! I saw this place just the other day on Yelp, and added it to my list of places to try. GoGogiri does not disappoint! It is so good and will fill you up quickly! I didn't realize just how big everything would be. We ordered the spam, tempura shrimp, and waygu beef. The waygu beef is just heavenly! I could have just had this and been satisfied. The Bao bun we had was the bbq pork bun. Another satisfying hit! Dumplings were also fantastic. We will definitely be ordering again. And we're just so happy this little gem is right down the road! read more

Food was good, but they are still new and were out of a few things we wanted to order. I really liked the dumplings, the chicken bao was good (the purple one was not)9, and the highlight is definitely the onigiri. We liked all the ones we tried. Service was a little slower than I thought, especially since the baos were already sitting on the counter, and the girl at the counter clearly wanted to go home. I'm sure we'll be back. read more

Been wanting to give this place a try since it's opened- I think they may still be working out the kinks but overall, the food ain't bad. Ordered some scallion pancakes, a bbq pork bun, and a spam onigiri to go. It took a hot minute for it to get thrown together (a little over 20 minutes) so lesson learned- order ahead next time. BBQ pork bun- the bun itself is nice and soft, pretty decent size. It is a little different compared to the photo shown on their site- photo shows chopped pork cubes and bbq sauce, actual is shredded pork. Not a massive difference, but that can change the flavor and texture of a meal. Not a bad bao overall. Spam onigiri- probably the best of the three things I ordered. Big portion, rice is cooked well and has flavor and consistency. The spam and sauce inside are tasty- nice and salty and tangy. Scallion pancake- not great. Don't know if its due to the thinness of these pancakes or if they didn't fry them long enough, but it didn't have the typical outside crunch and inner chewiness of a pancake. In addition, the flavor was bland. It comes with a dipping sauce, but it shouldn't require it. Overall, it was ok. I'll probably give it another shot later in the hopes their processes get smoothed out. read more

Lackluster, cheaply built, no chopsticks despite it being finger food (i would still like to not get my hands dirty) , decor was very lacking. No soy sauce either. Food was alright, dumplings were the best part but this doesn't taste like waygu, it tastes like regular ground beef. I got shrimp and "waygu" onigiri and my man got regular waygu Onigiri. It was alright, flavorful but it tastes more like an Americanized version of real Onigiri, i was thinking it would've been more authentic but that's on me for expecting so much from a new establishment. read more

GoGogiri - Wagyu Onigiri, Beef Dumplings - Asian Fusion Near Me - Dallas, Texas

If you are looking for a more traditional onigiri then sadly GoGoGiri isn't going to scratch the itch. It's a pretty good value at ~$7 for what amounts to a massive 2 inch think and maybe about 3-4 inches along the triangular sides, but sadly that large size leads to structural problems making them a mess to eat...which sort of misses one of the major pros of onigiri to begin with in my mind. They are well stuffed with plenty of filling so what seemed like a very high priced snack when I ordered ended up being a fair price for the amount of food provided. I got the pork and wagyu which is way more than one person should likely order for themselves in hindsight. I sort of missed the fact that both had sauces since instead of simple descriptive names like you might be used to from an asian convince store that just lists the ingredients (like salmon and mayo, pork floss, etc) they have cute names that don't emphasize the contents. Something to be aware of for picky eaters that are used to simpler versions of the snack and not expect that. The food itself was fine but didn't blow me away. I think the best flavors of onigiri for me is from simple marinated meats and furikake seasoning, which was notably absent. This version thats taken a lot of liberties didn't really resonate with me personally. Instead, this is more filing and sauce focused so if that is your thing then it might be worth checking out for yourself. read more

Yummm! Delicious onigiri - which are like fat triangles of Japanese rice, with a bit of nori - with different fillings and sauces. A gem.

I was excited to finally try this place, but it sadly didn't live up to my expectations. I saw an ad they were running that said 'Free Katsu Sandwich - show ad to claim' and there's no other details on the ad, but when I went to claim it, the workers said you had to spend at least $15...which wasn't written anywhere on the ad. Kind of false advertising IMO. I ordered the ube bao and it doesn't look purple like their photos at all, more like a pale tan color. It tasted alright, but nothing really special. My friends got the onigiris which looked huge, but was mostly made of rice. read more

The food was amazing!! We found this spot from their instagram, and it looked delicious in the photos. It really was! We tried the scallion pancake, pork bao, bbq chicken bao, katsu chicken onigiri, and the pork onigiri. Our favorite was the pork bao and onigiri! So much flavor. We will definitely be back! The gentlemen running the register was definitely busy with to go orders and customers walking it, but he was still so courteous! read more

The bao and onigiri are great! The tuna onigiri is great and the CEO was incredible! Very savory and creamy. The BBQ chicken bao is dope. Even the fries are great lol. But, their dipping sauces are absolutely fantastic! Sriracha mayo is good, the kimchi mayo and, what I'm assuming is, gochugaru mayo are the absolute BEST. They compliment their fries and their onigiri soooo well. They are all made in house. Great place for a quick lunch or a simple date. read more

Everything was super good. Recommend getting a little extra sauce on the side cause the gogo sauce goes crazy. If there's one thing you gotta try it's the chicken bao. Will be back specifically for that. read more

GoGogiri - Wagyu Onigiri Shrimp Tempura Chicken Bao Bun - Asian Fusion Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Fantastic food, found this place a month ago and I've been back several times. Best dumplings I've ever had, stuffed with pork. All the Onigiri is actually a pretty big portion and stuffed. I eat a lot but get surprisingly full with 2, some of my friends get full with just one and some dumplings. The onion pancake is really flaky and crispy and one of my favs. The special onigiri's are really good but the regular pork one is my fav. The ambience is nice but the dining seats and tables are kinda crappy. Regardless, the food is fantastic so I don't care about the tables. read more

cute place but I went in and ordered one pork bao (the fluffy bread bun) there were only two young workers, but I was the only customer in there the entire time I was there. They gave me an onigiri which is not what I ordered, i'm sure it's good but it's disappointing since the only thing I ordered somehow was completely wrong. read more

GoGogiri - pork (i think) onigiri - Asian Fusion Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We tried several of the onigiris and all of the baos. You need to know the onigiris come in 2 sizes which we didn't realize. The pork bao is bigger than the chicken or the taro one but all of them were great! Fast service and very kind to explain the Japanese part of the menu to us. Great portions and the food was delicious! They have a few booths to eat there but it is mainly a place for take out, I think. We didn't try the chicken sandwiches but they looked really good as well if you are looking for a fried chicken sandwich. read more

The food doesn't come out as advertised in the store. we order the tuna and the CEO the tuna is just tuna salad in rice, and the ceo when I asked him about why it doesn't look like the one they advertised he said "it's in the inside that's it" it's also 8 dollars for plain white rice and basic Walmart style tuna salad. Not going back and def not worth it. read more

Delicious food, fast service and nice staff! Definitely making a drive out there to go again!

Had a fantastic experience on day 1. Their onigiri (rice balls) were so authentic in flavor to my time in Japan, but Texas sized with a much greater variety of fillings. They also had a clever and hip Japanese seating area with private booths enclosed in hand-made shogi screens. This place is such a brilliant idea to add to the US market. Just a matter of time before we see a national GoGogiri brand, and I love they started in TX! Better give them a try before the lines are out the door. read more
