    One of my favorite kbbq spots in the valley. Staff were nice and attentive and kept checking on us. I really enjoyed their brisket here, the pepper beef, spicy tofu soup, japchae, and their ban chans- potato salad, and the spinach. I love that their meat is quality and it's affordable as well. Such a casual vibe with great staff. Everything was so good. One thing only - the grill that we had kept turning off everytime we do a grill change and we felt bad asking the staff everytime to turn the fire back on again again. Otherwise yummy yummy food.

    Staff was very helpful and was able to get us everything we wanted. Made it super easy! Food was delicious and we were able to eat a lot of everything lol definitely will be back

    This place is mid at best! Our grill kept burning all our food! I understand we're in charge of cooking our own food but it would burn so quick... They had to change the grill at least 5 times in less than 40 mins we were here. And they even turned it down. One side was cold and the other side charred everything to a crisp. I also had one of their soups and it was super salty. I will say my friend really enjoyed the chicken fried rice and I like the shrimp shumai. Also, it is definitely not worth the price!! Very little options. You have to pay for each premium item and no free dessert like I'm used to in places in vegas

    Cook your own The place was pretty busy even late on Sunday. The staff was friendly enough and use team work to serve. We had to flag people down for refills or more food sometimes. It's a busy place . Our party of seven ordered lots of spicy bulgogi, pepper steak , calamari and chicken . The meets and marinades were good. They added an 18% charge on top which was a surprise.

    Anyone who likes this place has never had actually good KBBQ. I knew it from the moment they brought out this pico de gallo Banchan and no kimchi. It only got worse from there. Never again.

    After visiting my brother at the cemetery for his 5 years death anniversary, we all decided to have lunch together. The wait was about 30 mins on a Sunday afternoon around 12pm for a party for 15. Juan the host was amazing. He was very attentive, kind and great at multitasking. Our server was amazing too. I just can't remember his name though. He was very attentive, quick on his feet, had good memory and polite. My annoying nephew wasn't hungry until we were all about to leave. We all thought we were done until my nephew ordered 2 beef belly, pork belly, steam egg, rice and etc. The waiter bought it out with a smile on his face. He didn't even judge him. (Eventhough I was lol). The only down side was that they didn't have the cilantro, onion tomatoes salsa. I usually order 3 along with my meats. Love the yogurt ice cream that we had to get 2 to-go. Thanks for the great customer service today. We had a blast. We will definitely be back soon.

    I absolutely love this place. I've been coming here for years & it's definitely my go to Korean spot. The sides are SO good! It's easy to get carried away in sides lol Usually get the brisket, bulgogi, pork belly, peppered steak & it never misses. We always ask for onions & jalapeños + salt & pepper which makes the food have so much more flavor! The bacon fried rice is too tier. Service is typically good but can be hard to grab attention of our server when it's busy. It's a nice spot with pin ball machines in the waiting area & in a back room. I believe they even hold tournaments sometimes. Definitely worth the try!

    The service here is ok. The food here is ok. The inside is ok. Everything is ok, but if you want better, try their newer location in west hills.

    I had the most amazing first impression of Korean barbecue here at AYCE gogi!!! Yes, it was my very first time having kbbq this past week! It was perfect for a girl like me who was just craving all types of meat. My absolute favorite was the garlic steak!!! If you're a garlic lover you'll looove this! And if you don't really fw garlic, you'd hate this! The gyozas were sooo good and so was their chicken fried rice!!! I recommend heavily. And for it being 30 $ per person, we definitely got our moneys worth! SO MUCH MEAT ps. The complementary froyo at the end of your meal is genius, perfect touch. OH- and they have pinball machines!!!!!! (More in the room in the back, 50¢ per play)

    Spicy ramen, spicy bulgogi, Kalbi, and brisket

    So good the spicy ramen is phenomenal. I suggest the brisket, spicy bulgogi, and kalbi (or galbi?) Unfortunately tho, they discontinued the frozen yogurt. They used to serve mini frozen yogurt cups at the end of your meal and when we asked about it they said they discontinued it 4 months ago. this broke my heart Good service and good place

    Let's start off by saying the weekend wait is longgggg! We were a big party, so that's probably why but we waited over an hour and it's too hot to wait inside. And outside is obviously too hot too. After we were seated, service was quick! All the meats were really good but the short rib was my favorite. The sides are good but I wish they had more sides options. Overall, I'd definitely come back during the week. Parking is easy shopping center free parking

    Lunch in weekend is still lunch pricing at $30.99 - great deal! The meat variety is good and includes beef tongue and limited orders of peeled shrimp. Servers initiated frequent grill changes without us needed to hound them down. However, meat quality or taste does match the price range and nothing stood out a lot. Beef tongue for instance was quite chewy and shrimp flavor tasted okay. Best items were short rib and steamed egg. Japchea is an honorable mention. They served it in a bowl and it looked a bit watery, but don't be afraid, it was very flavorful and fresh. AYCE gogi is overall good for satisfying meat cravings and if there's a wait (no wait when I went), there's a lot of pinball machines to play with at the entrance. So bring quarters!

    I love this place! Haven't tried a place as good as this one for Korean BBQ. The service is always impeccable. The setting is nice specially for a nice dinner. The servers are fast and make service go by smoothly. The meats are amazing and are perfect with the chili spices and sides! Would definitely be coming back and will recommend to my friends and family.

    Does AYCE Gogi do Reservations?

    They only accept walk-ins, no reservations

    Did they remove the feature to place yourself on the list to be seated thru yelp? I can't find it.

    Yes we did, it was very problematic for us and we had to remove.

    Can't get anyone to answer the phone, are there different hours surrounding Thanksgiving ? The hours on Yelp says they close at 10, trying to make sure an 8:30 seating is ok.

    Sorry, we are closed Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Happy Holidays

    We are closed Christmas Day.

Some of my favorite bites included the chicken katsu which had beautiful crisped texture, and soft cooked chicken. I also enjoyed the japchae and cold noodle. The noodles of course were also large portions. I liked that they also served grilled mackerel. It was smoky, and slightly salty. We left stuff, and highly satisfied with all the food. I'd highly consider returning for a Korean cuisine fix. The value is very good, service is outstanding, and it's so conveniently close to where we live.

I tried their $32.99 AYCE lunch and it was so worth it. The quality of meat was great, the banchan were delicious and the included kimchi fried rice was very yummy. Out of the meats, my favorites were the premium brisket and bulgogi. Bulgogi came well-marinated and was very juicy after grilling it. The brisket was just superb. It was very lean, so I cooked it very lightly and I received a healthy, low fat-meat that tasted super fresh and very delicious. I dipped my meat into their oil with salt and then into their savory, yuzu-ish light sauce and the flavors were rich and popping. In addition to the above, I also ordered their bulgogi kimchi taco and Korean fried chicken. Both included appetizers were outstanding in flavor. The place itself is large with many tables for dine and grill, with a nice contemporary design. The service here was friendly and efficient.

Which had a Hispanic male in the back and I was like this is not authentic pho. I was cold and I asked if I could not sit by the door and she told me no. They took forever to bring utensils and napkins. The ambiance was casual and okay. At the end when I was almost finished with my pho I notice two Asian men came in and the lady knew them but gave them a huge table and they did not order food or anything which I was like damn that sucks. I'm cold sitting next to the door and they walked in and got a nice sitting. And I knew if I brought CAREMAL kisses she would have not liked the meat it was chewy and the texture was a bit weird. And this is coming from me so I know she had a part that she left on me to be detailed about the taste and texture because I wouldn't have said anything before meeting her. I would come again just to see if I get the same experience but I hope I don't and I would come back.
