I needed a boost and Gogi BiBimBap filled my need with Mandoo dumplings. They got me moving along in a delicious quick way. The bistro is clean, attractive, and welcoming. The staff is friendly and provides efficient service. I want to go back. read more

Food was decent but nothing too special. The only good Korean I've found in RVA is in midlothian

Food Exciting to have authentic Korean food in Richmond and one with such an extensive vegan menu. They even have vegan kimchi and were so nice to bring out vegan gochujang because the one they have on the table is not vegan. We got the dolsat bibimbap and I always say the stone bowl is absolutely worth the extra money. The best part is always the crispy rice. Tteokbokki Having a vegan option without seafood was a great find. Most of the time the sauces have shellfish in them and I don't have the patience to make it from scratch. The noodles were cooked perfectly and they give you two vegetable dumplings on top. The sauce was nice and spicy without being too overwhelming. Kimchi pancakes: wish they had a bit more kimchi in them than the batter, but still good. Japchae with tofu, nice and almost beefy tasting. The black pepper was a nice punch. Korean fried tofu so nice and crispy with a really good sauce. I have been missing KFC since I turned vegan and good to know they have a good substitute for it. Service A good sized family run place where you can sit down or get take out. You order at the counter and they have a screen or you can be like us and take their paper menu to a table. A few four sized tables and some smaller two seaters. There was plenty of take out and delivery while we were seated. The person at the front was super helpful and patient as we tried to figure out what to order. They seemed busy and did not stop for too long the entire time. They came to bring us things and check in on us. Please use reusable cups for dining in and not styrofoam cups though! They have reusable utensils which is nice. Ambiance It's a fast casual place, but in a little strip mall in the county. They have K-pop playing and a stream of music videos so I didn't mind. read more

We came in for their first vegan night. The vegan menu did not disappoint. We got tteokbokki (more like a soup than a sauce), banchan trio (kimchi, chickpea kongjang, spicy broccoli), Korean fried tofu (this was our absolute favorite), kimchi jeon, peach soda. It was SO busy but staff handled it well and was friendly and enthusiastic. Very casual inside. You order at the counter and then they bring your food to the table. We sat outside at the few haphazard tables. read more

So excited we have a new authentic Korean spot in this area. Good Korean is few and far in between and hard to find in the Richmond area. The restaurant was very clean, simple decor. Service was good and fast. Let's talk about the food. This food was DELICIOUS and definitely met expectations. As someone who's picky when it comes to Korean food, I was genuinely impressed. The wings although on the smaller end were so good. Very flavorful. Delicious, and loved the sauce that was on it. 9/10. I ordered the Galbi, I appreciated that this was reasonably priced compared to other Korean restaurants in NOVA. This Galbi was incredibly flavorful although the sauce was a little overpowering. Meat quality was decent as well. I loved the portions of the meat. This dish comes with kimchi and cucumber kimchi. Both were really good and you could tell it wasn't fermented too long where it gets sour. Love it! Also loved that it had a hint of spice. If it was a little spicer then it would be PERFECT. 8/10 for this dish. I LOVE that they have the purple rice. I haven't found any Korean spots with that 9/10. My partner got the pork cutlet which he loved. They have ice creams and the viral ice cups and drink pouches which I loved! Definitely want to check out this spot. It's super charming and a hidden gem. read more

The Galbi was phenomenal and affordable at that! $19 versus $28 in a regular Korean restaurant. Staff was very friendly and inside was nice and clean. Looking forward to try the Jap chae and bulgogi wrap. read more

I was so happy to find this little family establishment. I ordered the most amazing kimbap... and it was completely made to order. I don't do egg and they made the rolls fresh. A bit expensive as I was wanted to order more!! We tried so many dishes and let me tell you how good their spicy tofu is I could eat this everyday. They even have a Vegan menu filled with flavor. If you are looking for something special, just ask. You never know. read more

Been craving some Korean food and I'm so glad I stopped by here! If you're looking for some great home cooked meal, this is the place! The vegan options were phenomenal, as well! I recommend the tofu soup, Korean fried tofu, and tofu galbi jjim! To finish off the dinner, topped it off by eating the berry bingsoo and truly felt refreshed afterwards. The service was out of this world! Can't wait to stop by again!! read more

They provide real authentic Korean meal choices and sides as well as drinks. Friendly and fast service, they also give you choices of what to put in your bibimbap. Very casual and there kpop music playing but not so loud that you cant hear anyone. Will definitely be back to try their bento boxes and other appetizers. read more

The getting here was a tad difficult as WAZE was attempting to have us park on the street. The shop is the corner of the strip mall. You order at the counter and Bibimbap and lunch Bowen's your big choices. The K-pop on the tv added a little flair. Tons of flavor on the beef and pork the banchan was limited with one to a lunch box. Adds are a buck fifty. I had to add. The cabbage was good. The cucumber was possibly cut a tad small. Worth the search. read more

Best Korean food we have had in Virginia. First rate customer service. I had the bibimbap and it was delicious with generous toppings. My husband's kimchi jiggae was excellent. We will be returning often. read more

Appearance of the food looks and smells good but it just didn't have a lot of flavor. Felt like the radish Kim chi wasn't able to soak in the Kim chi flavor so it was just a bland raddish, the spicy chicken was very watered down like it was cooked in a pressure cooker(?) just was not able to absorb the flavor there but it was tender. TLDR: bland food, if you're looking for authentic, this isn't the spot read more

My partner loved their tofu wrap, and let the man working choose what to put on it. I, on the other hand, got the Bulgogi plate with tofu, and I didn't love it. The tofu was good, but the sauce came separately, which I was hoping it would come already on (although it was fried fresh, which was nice!). The kimchi was great. I didn't love my veggie Mandu. We sat outside, which was so nice on this beautiful spring day! Overall I probably wouldn't go again, but it's worth a try! I'm pickier than most, so if you like Korean food and are close by, go give them a try! read more

I was looking forward to trying something new with my foodie best friend. Unfortunately, we were both left a bit disappointed. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming. He was nice about bringing us our food outside. I got the Japchae. I'm a huge glass noodle fan so was satisfied with the noodles, however, the sauce was just a bit too salty. The veggies and meat drowned a little in the sauce too. The meat also felt a little bit funky. My friend got the Regular Bibimbap and it was bland. She got this item for lunch and was hungry for dinner earlier than normal. I wish it could've been better. read more

Very delicious!!! The spicy pork gimbap was great & the tteokbokki was the perfect amount of spiciness. Would absolutely visit again. 9/10

So I use Yelp a lot for finding good places to eat while traveling and this was my first MAJOR disappointment from how many reviews and how well rated this place is on here. In a little shopping center off a major road in Richmond, so easily accessible. Walk in and was kind of shocked by first looks... but my daughter was starving and said "well you said it was rated really well". Three people eating/ordering. Two of us got the beef bento box option, one for the chicken bento option. I have never in all my times going to MANY Korean places seen meat like this. It was huge, unflavored chunks. Nothing like some older pictures seen here on Yelp of what others had previously been served that look "normal". My daughter even ordered extra protein and it ended up in the trash. Positives... kimchi, mandu and kimbap were ok... nothing spectacular but at least we were all willing to finish those. I probably would not recommend this place in its current state and what it offered unfortunately. Waste of money. read more

Good food with a variety. Definitely a good place for casual fast Korean food. Will come back in the future

Went here to grab some lunch to-go. Not really busy. I saw the menu posted and the server who helped me was really friendly. He asked if it was my first time there and I said yes so he told me if I wanted my bowl heated it's $2 extra or something like that and since I don't like the fried egg on top of my BiBimBap, I said I'd like it regular. They had a vast array of veggies but I didn't spot the kimchi and didn't choose it. I asked him if that counted as a topping and he said yes but gave it to me anyway. I liked it spicy so that's the sauce I chose. When I got home, I was hungry and I ate this in record time. It was ok but there wasn't a lot of food and it wasn't spicy. I finished it all and I'm not a big eater so that says a lot. For the price ($14.29), I guess I'd want more food but it was ok. It tasted fine, but probably wouldn't return. read more

Fast and casual at a good price. The kimchi was good. The beef was a little dry... thankfully the sauce helped out. Nothing exciting about the purple rice other than the color. I didn't think the guy working there was in much of a good mood. I have never had Korean food and as I asked questions about the dishes he looked at me and said, "I don't know what you're asking." Sooooo I just got the bulgogi box and picked things that sounded good. I would've liked to have tried other dishes but had no help choosing. read more

The owner is awesome. Was very kind and helpful. He helped us to choose foods we would enjoy. It was very quick. Great food!

coming from a Korean food household, its rare that we find great, easy, quick k food in central VA. We were so impressed by Gogi BiBimBap, ordered the teokkboki, dolsot bibimbap, and soon doobu. all were so good.. we even had to go back for seconds on the bibimbap. the restaurant is clean, well decorated, and service was wonderful. will definitely come again! read more

Food was immaculate. heard they just got new ownership but the food was still good. I got the dot sol bibimbap with the spicy pork and the tteokboki. It was hot and fresh. tasted very traditional and I could tell this was real authentic Korean food. The workers were very nice and helpful. read more

Very quick service. Nice portion of bibimbop, good kimchi. The place is quiet and clean.

Really liked this place. I hope they are doing OK, as there was my buddy, myself and one take out order. Ended up going for a BiBimBox, which was amazing. Spicy Pork! I also tried the purple rice, which had a hint of unusualness. The person waiting on us was very helpful, funny and nice. I will return and try some other dishes for sure. The atmosphere was a little "rough around the edges" but that is the type of places I like. Sorry I forgot to take a picture until I was almost done. read more

I was really excited to try out Gogi BiBimBap, as it was a surprise find next to a donut shop. The menu offers various appetizers, entrees, bibimbop bowls, their version of bento boxes, and even kid options. The hubs and I came here after lunch hours, so we just wanted to try a sampling. We ordered the Gogi Beef Box and the Gogi Spicy Pork Box, both coming with the marinated meats, rice, a side (we opted for kimchi and the spicy cucumber kimchi), and 2 fried pieces of mandoo. The meats were just not great - they didn't seem to be well-marinated, super bland, and was not like anything near of what it should taste like; not sure if this place was catering more towards the American palate? The rice was overcooked and super mushy, the mandoo was chewy, and the sides were forgettable. It was a pretty disappointing meal! The staff here were super friendly and welcoming, though. Plenty of parking in the plaza lot. I'm glad I was able to try this place out, but wouldn't return. +underseasoned and bland meats +friendly staff +plenty of parking in the plaza lot read more

If I was from here, I would come here all of the time :-) Let me just say everything I got was amazing. I'm on cloud 9 from the food, haha. I ordered through Uber Eats and got a Dol Sot Bibimbap, baby Dol Sot bibimbap, spicy radish kimchi and a vegetable mandoo. I love Dol Sot Bibimbap so much and had never heard of a place that delivered Dol Sot. Usually it's just the regular bibimbap. I called this place out of curiosity and asked how they deliver this type of dish and they said they make it in the hot bowl, mix it, and then have it delivered. That's exactly what I was hoping for- for it to actually be cooked all around. it was so easy to mix. No one else does this!! As I was talking to this person (perhaps the owner??) they were extremely friendly and had a great sense of humor. That was very comforting for me to know I was getting food from a place that had nice, caring people. As I was waiting for my Uber Eats driver to pick up from the restaurant, the same individual called me in a semi panic saying someone came to pick the food up (saying my name) and left. few minutes later, someone else came by and then ANOTHER person. None of those people matched who was coming to pick my food up on the app. I assume it was an error through Uber Eats or someone saw my name on a bag and stole it. I felt so bad for the owner. They seemed very concerned and just wanted to make sure I got my food. I finally got another driver to get the food and the owner called me again apologizing and to let me know that he was remaking the food and we confirmed the new driver/driver name. The food arrived safe and sound + nice and hot! The dol sot bibimbap is sooo so good. I'm a little picky about this dish and I love this one. The vegetable mandoo is also blowing my mind. I actually might order this again before I have to head out of VA. Definitely give this place a try. if you want to try what I got: Dol Sot Bibimbap beef purple rice carrots purple/red cabbage bean sprouts over easy egg zucchini spinach gochujang * important lol though it's spicy if you don't like spicy. it really elevates the dish though. (don't forget the vegetable mandoo!) if you can go in, i bet it would be really good! but if you need to have it delivered, it'll be great :) absolutely delicious, thank you so much!! read more

My first time at Gogi was great! Our server had an amazing personality and talked to us about Pokemon Go and games :) good vibe, nice restaurant, friendly people, and hip music! I ordered the beef dolsot bibimbap with seaweed, kimchi, mushrooms, carrots, and bean sprouts. I chose brown rice (which was a little hard) and used the not spicy sauce with a little bit of the normal spicy sauce, which was very tolerable. Aside from the hard rice, the food itself was great. It came out sizzling and was definitely worth the price! read more

Bibimbap Bowl serving portions on each dish very. I gave 4/5 stars only because the portion size per vegetable vary in the bowl... also if this is a regular size then a baby bowl is not worth $14 before tax and fees on Grubhub. If I mixed everything in the bowl together I am sure that would not have mattered but I like to eat them separately. The dumplings are delicious but I think they have been frozen before and are not fresh. I am sure the meat is made in large batches but would be better if the quality of meat was better. Overall the food is delicious and authentic. The flavors are good. Will return! read more

Gogi BiBimBap - Regular Bibimbap - Korean Near Me - Henrico, Virginia

This place never steers me wrong. This is a great place for a quick fix on Korean food cravings. This is often my go to when I need to order something through GrubHub or to grab something quick on my way out during work. It's next to the Country Style donuts and smells great once you walk in through the door. My go-to order is always their Bulgogi Box. Every once in a while I'll decide between the spicy chicken or spicy pork (my fav is always the spicy pork - just gotta love the belly fat). With the Bulgogi box, you get to choose a "Bulgogi", choice of rice, choice of side, and 2 Mandoo (aka dumpling). For the rice option, you can pick white, brown or purple rice. For sides, you can pick Kimchi, cucumber Kimci, or radish. Then for the Mandoo, you get the option of pork, shrimp, or vegetable. The times that I've come here, my order is the spicy pork, white rice, cucumber kimchi, and shrimp Mandoo. I ordered it the first time and enjoyed it so much that their Bulgogi box is pretty much the only thing I will get from this location. The staffs have always been friendly and the place is always clean. I like that there are also outdoor seatings where you can enjoy the good weather (if it's available in VA). haha. You will not be disappointed here! read more

I ordered delivery via UberEats. After spending too much time doing course work I wanted some take away! I placed my UberEats order for tteokbokki and spicy pork kimbap. My order took about 25-30 with delivery time so SUPER fast! Food arrived hot and steamy - the tteokbokki in a sealed plastic container and the kimbap in a styrofoam clamshell. The tteokbokki was sweeter than what I'm used to but I LOVED it. There were generous portions of rice cakes and fish cakes and I loved the addition of mandoo! They are topped with a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese which may be weird to people reading it but the spicy pepper sauce and the cheese just work together and balance each other so well! The kimbap were flavorful with generous portions of veggies and pork. They tasted incredibly fresh and the veggies still had a great crunch to them. Overall, I am looking forward to trying the rest of the menu here! read more

I visited here about a week ago, and it was such an amazing visit! They had some boxes of product out but other than that the store was very well kept. The lighting was nice and they had some KPOP performances on the TV which added some nice music. It seems it's hard to find good customer service now a days but not here, We met the owner and talked almost the entire time he was preparing the food. He was super attentive and friendly and made us feel really welcome. The food was great, I had the beef bulgogi meal with an order of kimbap. The bulgogi wasn't the best I've had but still amazing for the amount of time it took to prepare and the kimbap was just as good as any place I've been to. Would definitely stop by again next time I'm in the area! read more
