My mother and I have been trying to search for the best Korean food in Arizona since I was a kid. Today was our first time at GOGI. We drove an hour to eat here, and we are more than satisfied with the food and service. The service was very friendly and extremely quick. Once we had ordered our food, I went to the bathroom and by the time I got back we had already received our banchan, shrimp tempura appetizer, and bulgogi, followed by everything else shortly after. All the food came out fresh and the bulgogi came out sizzling on a hot skillet ready for us. All the meat we ate was very tender and flavorful. The yukgaejang (spicy beef and vegetable soup, 육개장) was slightly different than what we are used to, as it was more like small slices of beef rather than shredded; however, this is not a complaint as the meat was still extremely tender and almost melted in my mouth. Overall the soup was delicious and exactly what we were looking for. I also wanted to mention the banchan and how fresh it was. There honestly was not a dish that we didn't enjoy, even the fried chicken was amazing (we were so full we had to bring it home). My mother even said she would eat there everyday if we lived closer. At the end of the meal, we were brought watermelon slices. I was tempted to ask how they picked their watermelons or where they got them from, because they were soooo sweet and delicious! It was refreshing after eating all that food. Overall, we will be back 100% and ready to try more menu items. I highly recommend that if you enjoy authentic Korean food, you come here as this is now our #1 spot over Hodori in Mesa. read more

GOGI - Bulgogi / 불고기 Kimchi / 김치 Half & Half Fried Chicken Spicy Beef Vegetable Soup / 육개장 Kimchi Spicy Kimchi & Tofu* / 두부 김치 Bulgogi Fried Rice - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Walker in on a Friday afternoon and found the place surprisingly empty. Quick service and order. We both had the hot stone bibinbap, I ordered the chicken and my spouse the bulgogi. Both were great. Sides were decent too. I likely wouldn't return as the hot pots are 40$ plus and an average starter is 15$ plus. read more

Previously, I dined at a GOGI near the office for a work onsite and loved it with coworkers. My boyfriend was visiting and we wanted to try one closer to my house. When we entered, we were immediately greeted and our server was very friendly. This location had much more seating, and we enjoyed the comfort of a booth while dining. What We Ordered: - Can Soda: Always love as you can count on the flavor to be accurate, and love they offer a cup of ice with a straw. - Galbi Bento: My boyfriend said this was really, really good. Lots of great items within the bento, and loved the banchan. The galbi was very juicy and tender. - Hot Stone Bulgogi Bibimbap: This was my dish and I simply cannot get enough of gochujang sauce. All the elements of the dish complimented one another and love the hot stone so the rice gets a crispy exterior. The bulgogi was flavorful and very delicious. Very happy with this dish! We will definitely return and definitely recommend to family, friends, coworkers, and fellow Yelpers! read more

We arrived at 5:30 pm on a Saturday, the place was empty so the waitstaff was very prompt with taking our drink order and gave us a little time to review the menu. The place was spacious, it really had a cozy old Korean restaurant feel. We ordered the Galbi Entree & soon tofu (mushroom) combo with the spicy pork belly & we couldn't have come here without trying the sweet & spicy chicken. The chicken was too big for us so we opted to get the chicken wings instead. The food came out quick and the meat and soup came out sizzling and hot which was great! Our meal came with 6 different side dishes (banchan) and white rice. I don't know if it was the mushrooms in the soon tofu soup but I thought it had a slight smelly socks smell. Everything else was so tasty and delicious! The portions were also fairly big with the galbi being very meaty. Next time I'm not going to order mushrooms in my soon tofu soup to see if the smell was that but otherwise when we are back on this side of town, we will definitely stop back! read more

There is no option to order online directly through Gogi (options through Doordash, etc), so I tried to call in a to-go order. The phone was answered, however, no one spoke.. I hung up and tried to call back, however the line was busy for several minutes. When I arrived in person to order, the waiter quickly took my order and informed me it would be 15-20 minutes. The dinner bento box is listed as $19.99 on their website, however, the price has gone up to $24.99. We ordered a beef bulgogi dinner bento box and a chicken katsu dinner bento box. It is a good amount of food (rice, protein, kimchi, 2 pieces of Korean Fried Chicken, 2 dumplings, potatoes, shrimp tempura, and seaweed) but I would recommend getting it for lunch instead at a cheaper price (don't remember how much exactly). Despite this, it was all very mediocre... The chicken katsu and KFC were incredibly dry, and the KFC was a lot of batter. No side of katsu sauce that it desperately needed. The beef bulgogi was definitely better. 2 stars for the chicken katsu, 3 stars for the bulgogi. read more

Always a pleasure coming to Gogi. The service was quick and friendly. In the background, there were K-pop music videos playing, and as always the food is top-notch, which is why we always return here. We had so much leftover as well. The prices are great too! read more

Gogi has been my go-to for Korean food for years. Service is quick, and the quality & taste of the food is consistent. The layout inside is open and welcoming with plenty of tables and booths. They start you out with 6 banchan (small side dishes) - my favorites are the fish cake, spicy cucumbers, and kimchi. For appetizers, I like the Kimchi Pancake and Calamari. For entrees, I like the Spicy Chicken Bulgogi - it's actually barely spicy, but you can ask for it to be extra spicy. It comes with a serving of white rice. However, I like to eat it with the Kimchi Fried Rice. It is so flavorful and comes topped with a fried egg. My family really likes the Spicy Squid & Pork Belly. It is packed full of flavor, and we like to drizzle the sauce over white rice. During winter, I also order the Soon Tofu Soup with kimchi (they have meat options as well). It comes out boiling hot and has a little spicy kick that warms me right up! They also drop a raw egg in it that's perfectly boiled by the time it gets to the table. You can choose the spice level - mild, medium, spicy, or very spicy. They offer bento box specials for both lunch and dinner. One thing I haven't tried is their Fried Chicken which comes in a few different flavors. Gogi has a second location in Ahwatukee, but I haven't been there yet. The Chandler one is located in the same plaza as Lee Lee Supermarket. There is some parking in front of the restaurant and around the corner, or a nearby lot between the restaurant and CVS. read more

Arrived about 9:10pm. We were greeted and seated immediately. We partly selected this restaurant because it is open until 10pm on weekends. The restaurant was quiet with only a few people and pop music playing. We promptly ordered two Bimbibap bulgogi beef. Our food arrived about 10 minutes. Both dishes looked great and had good flavor although a little heavy on the salt is the reason for the drop to four stars. Recommend! read more

Their Pork Soon Tofu Soup has the fishiest broth I've had at any Korean restaurant around here, so be prepared for a strong seafood flavor. The kimchi was fresh and good, though a little sweet. Unfortunately, my fish cake was soggy, and the potato side dish was extremely salty. Wish I could give this 2.5 stars. read more

Favorite Korean place for a weekday dinner when we aren't in the mood to cook. We usually get takeout and sometimes will also dine in. Occasionally the call gets dropped when calling in an order as a fyi, and we've had to call back a few times. The portions are nice and our takeout orders have been consistent which we appreciate. We love getting the kimchi stew with pork belly and the spicy pork belly. We also rotate between the kimchi pancake and the seafood pancake. Definitely recommend the spicy pork belly there! read more

I came here for dinner on a weeknight and wasn't disappointed. I ordered the spicy rice cake with ramen, the bulgogi bibimbap, and the sweet and spicy Korean fried chicken. My favorite dish was the spicy rice cake. The portion was huge! It had a good ratio of rice cake to veggie to ramen. Each bite was delicious. The Korean fried chicken was delicious as well. I wish they had a boneless option but it was delicious nonetheless. Overall the food was good and the service was nice. read more

Gogi is the type of spot you need to scratch that itch for korean comfort foods. The portions for most of the menu is huge so definitely bring friends or be ready to have leftovers. The vibe in Gogi is more casual, playing KPop music videos, and not too loud. The staff is polite but not in your face about it. The spicy rice cake with ramen and dumplings is around 27$ give or take which was plenty of food for 2 people. Overall, Gogi is a nice cozy spot for getting korean classics like Korean Fried Chicken or Kimchi Rice as well! read more

I live near the Ahwatukee location of Gogi and love their food, so this was my first time visiting this location. It's clean, spacious, and super cute with the string lights and the K-pop music added such a fun ambiance! We ordered lunch bento boxes. I got the spicy pork belly, which could've been a little spicier (just my preference), but it was still delicious. My child had the chicken katsu; it was a bit overcooked in some spots, but still good overall. Service was fast and efficient! The older gentleman who seated us was very helpful and attentive, we really appreciated that. When we were leaving, they even gave us a to-go bag without us having to ask. Overall, we loved the food and the service. We'll definitely be back! read more

My family and I went to Gogi for dinner on a Saturday night. It wasn't busy at all. Food tasted bland, Seafood pancake was the only thing that tasted good in my opinion. Service was slow and not attentive. The restaurant looks outdated. read more

I'm a frequent here and I love it. The food never disappoints. Can't wait to bring more people here

Food was delicious and packed thoughtfully. I picked This ip for a take out order. The store was clean and quiet with many people coming in and out kicking up orders. The staff was quick and friendly and wished me the best and to one back soon - I will! read more

Food was good! Service a little slow. But the food was outstanding. I will come here again .

Gogi offers tasty and relatively affordable Korean food! I prefer to dine in because it doesn't seem to taste as good when I get take out or delivery. Service is fast casual but the restaurant is clean and comfortable. There's a great variety of dishes that provide an expansive menu highlighting the best of Korean cuisine. read more

Worst food ever. Went there twice. First time rice was undercooked. Second time, meat smelled bad and had diarrhea. Terrible!

Great Korean in east valley. It is a little expensive, but food is always great. Their kimchi soon tofu soup is a favorite. Their fried chicken is delish too. Always big portions as well. Friendly quick service. Always very clean and organized. read more

I like this place but it is expensive. They give you a ton of food for the price so you can share your meal with other people. The area is kind of closed off too, not a lot of windows. read more

Had lunch with kids, and they love this place to get their Korean food fix in Arizona. My wife and I see why as we enjoyed everything we ordered. Starting with the Bonchon, each dish was delicious with its own unique flavor. The Kimchi Pancake was devoured, and my wife enjoyed her soup. Our service was polite and checked on us frequently. Overall, we see why our kids who are local have this spot in their rotation, and I am sure we will be back in the future. read more

As soon as I arrived, it took a bit of time for the server to acknowledge me before telling me I can sit where ever. After I sat down, it took another bit of time before he brought the menu and I ordered the pork belly bento lunch. 10 minute later (with about 4 other parties seated) my water came and it took about an additional 15 minutes for my meal to come. Flavor was mediocre at best, and portion size was good. Server never came around to fill up my water until I was finished with my meal and I didn't realize until after paying that they over charged me (ended up paying for the meal rather than the lunch special). I'm not a Karen so I'm not going to fight about a few dollars, but the lack of service was appalling, and certainly not a place I would go back to again. read more

Been here a few times now and have had a different experience every time. The portion size for their entrees is quite generous, with appropriate pricing. Taste-wise however, their food isn't consistent. Their food can taste delicious and on point one visit, and the next visit those same dishes can be lacking in flavor. But there are also certain dishes that I've had from here that have stayed consistent. Those being, the kalbi and the garlic fried chicken, both are dishes that are hard to go wrong with at any Korean restaurant. Overall, service is friendly enough but has always been quite slow. The restaurant might look small from the outside, but it's quite spacious with plenty of tables. The décor on the inside is simple, with not much of an ambience. read more

I was craving a hot bowl of soup on a cold and rainy day. I was leaning towards pho or ramen but decided to give Gigi a try as their menu seemed interested. The oxtail soup options were intriguing, but I decided to keep it conservative and go with a beef and brisket soup. The presentation was nice, but I did feel the noodle to broth ratio was way off. It looked like and tasted like a pho. Very light and delicate and only a few nuggets of brisket. The meal came with 5 side dishes, but i didn't try any- I would told them not to bring them out if I had known (sorry to waste). I found it tasty overall but I left unsatisfied and felt it was a little overpriced. read more

During the 2020 pandemic, we ordered from Gogi. A lot. We ordered takeout today and remembered how good this place is! Portions are HUGE and the ban chan selection is really good. I ordered the beef dinner bento which came with a side of rice and everything was great! I do wish the side of rice was a little larger but making rice at home is easy. Definitely a great spot for korean food! read more

GOGI - Beef Dinner Bento Box - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Checked this one off my bucket list! Good location in the Lee Lee's plaza, but tucked away in the corner of the plaza with no signage on the store front, except pictures....so look closely. The seafood pancake alone was worth the trip. Very well seasoned, packed with seafood protein and amazing flavor. Definitely shareable amongst the table. The bulbogi hot stone plates was decent with the crispy rice and veggies. The beef was decent and tender but very minimal amounts. Not sure I'd order this again. But if I did, I'd order with a side of extra beef. The table was loaded with side dishes, kimchi, marinated potatoes, cucumbers and more...all were great side dishes that pair well with the Korean dining experience. The bathrooms are tucked in the back and could use some work, especially as it had a strong smell of propane or gas. I assume this is from the kitchen gas open flame stoves. Service was not the best as one of our folks in the group didn't get her meal until we were pretty much finished. We had to get up and ask a few employees, which our server was sitting in a booth and looked exhausted. Guess he's working over time and just best. Felt bad for the guy. But all was made good from the woman, which I believe was the owner. I would definitely come back, regardless of the service. The food alone was worth it. read more

Service was good, I really enjoyed my bugolgi pork. It was clean, they seemed busy and the sides were good.

Welcoming vibe upon entering, was assisted right away. Had a little communication issue but all went well and still enjoyed our lunch there. We got the bento lunch boxes and an appetizer. Food definitely is on the pricey end but we enjoyed ourselves! Very filling! As the time passed, place started getting busy as expected during lunch hours so the staff were running around/trying to assist everyone and apologized if delayed. read more

This place was on the side of the Lee Lee's plaza and parking in front was limited; however, since it was in the same plaza then you could just park and walk over. This place had all of its windows covered up so it wasn't bright inside but it wasn't super dark due to the amount of lights they had. Everybody that helped was nice and there were a lot of people here so they were busy as well. Their menu had a lot of food that sounded good to us but we didn't get too many. We wanted to try their wings along with a couple of others. We ordered the Bibimbap, Mushroom Soon Tofu, Beef Bulgogi, Garlic Chicken, and Sweet and Spicy Chicken. There was also banchan which was the normal kind of banchan you would get at other Korean restaurants. The Bibimbap was good, the Mushroom Soon Tofu was tasty, the Beef Bulgogi was okay, the Garlic Chicken was good, and the Sweet and Spicy Chicken was not bad. It was a good amount of food for the two of us and were full after we were done. Gogi was good and probably will have to try other things on their menu in the future. read more

Fantastic!!! Food, service, experience and value. Loved it!! Definitely worth trying, my first time here and eating Gogi. read more

We ended up having an upset stomach after we dined at GOGI. The restaurant serves below average Korean cuisine with too much options to choose from the menu! Got seated immediately. We ordered the combo with Soon tofu pork and mackerel, side of house salad. It took some time for the food to get to our table. The salad was okay with too much ginger dressing. Next the soup was a bit watery with just tofu and small chunks of pork. Not much Veggies in it. The fish was okay too, very oily not fried properly! The Banchan was poorly done aswell. The cucumber kimchi felt stale, cabbage kimchi was okay, fish cake was just bad! The server never bothered to check on us after we got our food. We came home disappointed and ended up having upset tummies. I do not recommend Gogi. There are better Korean food options! read more

I've lived near this place for nearly 3 years and finally decided to stop in and try it. Based off the outside decor, I assumed the place was filled with natural lighting and windows. I was taken aback by the complete opposite. Interestingly enough, this place has no natural light rather is basically all wall. This was immediately something that kept my attention the entire time The staff was friendly and attentive to our needs. I ordered the spicy pork bulgogi (bento box). This was massive and filled with nothing short of large portioning and beautiful amounts of flavor. The pricing was fair, especially with the amount of food you get. While the ambiance was not of typical in which I enjoy, I will throw that out to highlight the amazing food this place has to offer and certainly suggest you stop by and try it out read more

The service was outstanding, every staff member we interacted with was warm, attentive, and incredibly quick without making us feel rushed. My friend and I hadn't had Korean food in a few months, and this meal truly hit the spot in every way. We ordered the soft tofu stew with bulgogi, the kimchi pancake, and the chicken bulgogi bento box. Each dish was flavorful and clearly made with care. To say it took me back is an understatement. I live quite a distance away, but this experience was more than worth the drive. I'll absolutely be making a return trip! read more

This was a good place for my Korean cravings! They had so many options and for the size of the meals you can have everything family style, but none of us could finish our dishes. I've been really wanting to try Naengmyeon after seeing it all over my socials and this one did not disappoint. It was refreshing with a slightly sweet and slightly sour broth. The pork dumplings were crunchy and a perfect side dish for cold soup. I would come back again to try other things! read more
