We really enjoy this place. Food and service is great! If you go early you will not have to wait, otherwise it is a very popular spot.

We had such a lovely experience with Jenny . She explained how everything works and broke down the menu with us. She made a lasting impression and made sure we wanna come back . The food was also so so good ! read more

Let's Gogi - Our food !! - Korean Near Me - Downey, California

This place is new to Downey, so as locals, we were excited to give it a try. We enjoy going out for Korean BBQ not just for the food, but for the whole experience. Typically, Korean BBQ spots bring out the meats and sides, and you cook at the table. The usual sides include rice paper, kimchi, soybean sprouts, salad, and flavorful dipping sauces or seasoned salt. Unfortunately, our experience here was... strange. After being seated, it took about 15 minutes for our server to acknowledge us. When she did approach the table, she had a noticeable attitude and seemed very out of it. We didn't mind her demeanor as long as she was kind and attentive, but that wasn't the case. We asked a few questions about the meats and side options and requested a recommendation. Her response, with a completely straight face, was: "I don't eat this food." That was confusing and didn't instill much confidence. We also noticed the retractable smoke hood hung extremely low -- straight down into the center of the table. It blocked our view of each other and felt awkward and somewhat unsafe. We've never seen a hood positioned that low before. It took about 45 minutes before we received our first order of meat. The meat itself was okay, but nothing memorable. The side dishes lacked flavor, and the corn cheese was overly greasy -- it was drenched in oil and unfortunately upset my stomach. Overall, between the poor service and underwhelming food quality, the experience was disappointing. We won't be returning. read more

Came back again with the family and have to say the main person in our group (our child) loved it! Our child has sensory issues so we always try to ask for a booth with lots of table space and room for them to move around and not be in the way of nearby tables. Right away they sat us at the far table in the corner with lots of space and comfort by the window. Thank you again for that. That meant the world to us. We have found our new kbbq spot! Great service and such friendly staff! read more

Let's Gogi - Korean Near Me - Downey, California

This KBBQ spot stands head and shoulders above not just other KBBQ places but so many of the restaurants in this area. The menu is full of great appetizers and quality meats. The fact that you can order on your phone and still explore other sauce and meat options buffet style adds so much to the dining experience. The restaurant was clean. The stations were kept full of sauces and meats and the service was absolutely amazing! Our grill was swapped out often as the marinaded meats charred it quickly. Our server C.J. was on it. I was very impressed at how he handled his tables and still kept an eye on each grill. This young man made our experience even more enjoyable. I recommend this AYCE KBBQ 100 percent!!! read more

The marinated beef bulgogi was so tender and sweet. Cooking the meat right at the table is always a fun and delicious experience.

I was definitely interested in a $20 Korean barbecue experience. Except it's not $20 all the time you have to get there from 12 o'clock till 3 o'clock and there's a line! I don't know if the body is ready for Korean barbecue at 12 o'clock, but I was down to try. You can't make a reservation U have to be put on a waitlist right when you walk in then they text you when's your turn. Then you have to scan one QR code and then a couple minutes later scan the second one . That was a little confusing . Also, you have 90 minutes to eat and there's a charge if you leave food on your plate. All this information was a little bit stressful. There's a buffet that you can get meat from, but they also will deliver them to your table, so that's a little confusing. I went with my friend who is not a Korean barbecue expert so he was eating his food off the sauce tray. We'll get it eventually. I will definitely try this again. I'm just so happy there's Korean food and Downey. read more

Solid $19.99 AYCE lunch special! Can't find this deal anywhere else anymore! Plus the meats and sizes are delicious! My husband and I prefer more of the non marinated meat, we like the thin pork belly and thin beef belly. We only order 1 Hawaiian meat, it gets overwhelming after a while. Some of the meats you order on the tablet while others are self served at the buffet bar. Sides are at the self served station as well. We really enjoy the corn cheese! Love the fact that there is a Yelp waitlist! Can't wait to come back! Serve has always been great, they change your grill pretty frequently too! read more

Good quality meat. Nice slices. Sides are good and buffet style. Service is great and fast. Servers keep up with clean grills. Good playlist , AC on high. The AYCE special for $21 is a great deal. read more

i decided to try this spot, and came on a rainy christmas eve day. i'm glad that they were open, and it was not too crowded, as i arrived around 11:30, which is their opening time. i opted for the regular $19.99 lunch deal. i found that it was a bit limited in meat choices, but there are self serve bars where you can choose more meats, sauces, and sides. it was great that they had a QR code to scan and order plates straight from your phone. some servers were helpful and nice, while one had a unpleasant attitude. the time limit is one hour and thirty minutes. there is a parking lot right by the entrance that is shared with other businesses. overall, good to try, but would not come back again unless for the lunch special. read more

Ver good bbq, for the price. The bonchon extras are very good for the price and I like the restaurant overall. The lunch menu is so worth it. Meats are fresh but quality is okay considering the price read more

First and last time going here. Both my husband and I got food poisoning. We ate most items from the self serve meats and I think that's how we got sick. Meat quality was ok. The japchae was just marinated in soy sauce, we took a bite and didn't touch it again. fries were soggy. The best thing I had was the corn on the cob. 1 star for endless sliced garlic. read more

The place is new so everything looked clean. Finding parking is an issue with so many eateries. The service was good. But horrible bbq place compared to others I've been to. The whole place was REALLY smokey. Newly built joint and not enough ventilation??? THIS RESTAURANT IS NOT GOOD FOR PARTIES OF 6 OR MORE. They put us in a table for six where all the chairs were close together and barely fit the table. The 2 people near the outside of the table were seated almost completely diagonally. The grill was REALLY small for this party. We waited a LONG time for everything to cook as there was not enough cooking space. You only get 90 minutes so naturally this is a challenge for a big party. And there is an automatic 18% charge on 6 or more people. They told us this after we waited an hour outside in the cold to be seated. So. Pricey meal where we all had to take turns to cook our meats and we ate extremely cramped and uncomfortable? NOT good. We will not be back. read more

Love going here! The food is excellent and is sooo delicious! The unlimited self serving bar of the sides is amazing. I can't tell you how many times i get up to get more kimchi. The over all price per person is great for the quality you get. read more

This is your regular korean bbq place. Nothing too crazy, nothing out of the ordinary. BUT, I did like how easy it was to place an order since you can do it on your phone and they do get the food out fairly quick. They also have exceptional staff. They're fast, attentive and extremely nice. Side Note: Nothing to do with the business itself, but we went on a Sunday night and the wait was more than an hour and parking was really tough. Something to keep in mind. read more

The lunch special is such an awesome price for the value. I enjoy that you can pick up most of your meats, sides, and even sauces, at the bar, the service has been great both times, and the spicy beef bolgogi is something I haven't see anywhere else but man, is it flavorful! Definitely worth a try. I also like that when ordering using their QR code, the selections aren't limited (such as ordering up to 5 items at a time) and they bring the items ordered at a fast pace. read more

Joined wait list -- said 2-12 minutes max, our party waited for about an hour outside while other parties were getting seated.

Great food for the price you can't beat it. The wait time was a bit much but it was so worth it. read more

Love the prices here, love the staff and love the food. The music is ALWAYS great as well. I've gone over 5 times and each time have loved the service even more. I also love the fact that you can place everything to order on your phone but they also have a self serve area which they keep super tidy. I HATE going to places where it seems like you're bugging the staff for more sides, but the fact that you can do it from the comfort of your phone just makes it all the better! read more

Tommy was amazing, the food was amazing, overall I can't recommend this place enough!!!!

The food was amazing! The food quality was amazing. All the meats we ordered were delicious. The service was amazing as well, they were quick at bringing out our orders. Our waiter was very friendly and explained what to expect, since it was our first time there. The ambiance was good too. The music wasn't too loud, we were able to have a conversation. The self serve food bar had really good food choices as well. I recommend going for their lunch special. read more

Jenni is super attentive, checked in on us throughout our visit refilling out napkins. Thank you!

I really liked this place the first time I came and food was great the 2nd time. What wasn't great is when it was time to pay. The server wanted to charge us without showing us the bill and when I asked to see it, he kept putting the tablet on his chest but finally let us review it. I paid and he said ok sign here and tried to run off but I said wait! Can I see that? He was basically about to charge me close to a $30 tip! I asked for the receipt and he seemed annoyed he got caught in his game but he had no choice but to oblige even if it was reluctant. I sadly don't think we'll come back. It's close to my house but not worth them throwing in hidden charges. TRIPLE CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS AND GET A PRINTED COPY! read more

Was excited to try Let's Gogi in Downey today for Veterans Day since I had the day off. We showed up around 2 PM ready for lunch, but there was a sign on the door that said "No lunch price for Veterans Day." So basically, you're paying dinner pricing in the middle of the day. Kinda disappointing since we just wanted to try it for lunch, not spend $70+ for two people at 2 in the afternoon. We decided to skip it and go to our usual spot, Sushi Ryokan in Seal Beach, where they still honor lunch and happy hour pricing even on holidays. While we were standing there deciding, we saw at least 5-6 groups (mostly families) do the exact same thing -- walk up, read the sign, and leave. Feels like they drove away a bunch of potential customers instead of welcoming new ones. Hopefully they rethink that next time. Was really looking forward to trying it, but that sign changed our minds fast. Good luck, Let's Gogi! read more

Food is great! And service is quick. I like that you can place your own order through a link. Our server Alissa was such a sweetheart!

Service was very good for a kbbq spot and the meat was worth the wait time would definitely come back

Lots of parking. Food was super yummy and the staff was very kind. Decently priced at 30$ for the basic all you can eat. They have a wide selection of sides and meats so everyone can eat! This ranges from cheese fries to popcorn chicken to miso soup, etc etc. The only con is the ordering part is a little complicated. To order, you must scan a QR code, make an account, then you will be allowed to order--should be tech savvy or be with someone who is as you might struggle. Overall would recommend this place! read more

If you want good All you can eat Korean BBQ definitely come here. Great food and our server Jenny was amazing !

Jenny was our server today, she is great! Food, service, ambiance, always amazing. Love this place!!

Great food. Cheap in price, but not cheap meats. Service is good with moderate noise level.

BIG Shoutout to: Nhi, Liz, Lina and Amy. The amount of patience needed as a server/waitress is admirable, and these ladies have it in the bag. They're incredible. I came here last minute because I was craving Korean food and I live in Downey as well. I never ever come to Downey for Asian food, but this place convinced me otherwise. I will be getting a membership for rewards when I get paid on the 10th. Food quality is delicious and it's quite clean inside. Bathroom is nice also. Ill be back! read more
