Fast service (although maybe because I came in pretty late around 9pm) with short waiting time for food! Wonderful! :D Servers are nice and cute ;) I had a solid meal here. What I like most is that they have entree+tofu soup combo! And you can choose whatever tofu soup they have! For an Asian, it starts to feel like meal when there's a main dish, some small cold dishes and a soup! Many other places don't have these options. If you want both then get both with full price. But here a small sized soup really makes a difference. Even though it's a smaller size soup, the materials were solid. It doesn't feel like a cheap add-on side, but really a smaller version of the real thing. I had seafood tofu soup with egg, mussel, clams and a real size shrimp, not like some other Korean restaurant nowadays that use small shrimpies and substitute mussel with small clams even in a full price soup. The flavors are pretty good. I can't say it's the best or it's outstanding, but the attitude here is better than many. I will come back and would recommend it to my friends. read more

I had the bulgogi bento. The thing had so much food, but it also cost $23 before tip. It was yummy and had such a great variety of foods. There was the bulgogi (sweet, flavorful, and without a bunch of fat or connective tissue). It was the star of the meal. BUT, the Korean style sweet and spicy battered chicken breast was crazy good. Very crispy and just the right amount of heat. The tempura shrimp was okay. The batter was so so and the shrimp was tiny. There was this weird wanna be cheese thing in there. Kimchi was on point and so was the other banchan. I wish they'd offer a half portion of the dinner bento boxes and charge like $14. $23 is okay if you plan to split it with your girl, but not enough food for two dudes, but too much for just one dude. I wish it wasn't so hot. Cheap Koreans need to turn down the AC, so this Korean can dine in. It was kind of muggy in there. read more

SO BOMB. I usually eat their KBBQ every time I come. It was until my mother invited me out with her ex co-workers she was still in touch with. We ended up being a party of 8 (if I recall correctly) and the servers always came to check on us and refilled our drinks constantly. Very good service. Can't remember everything we ordered (I didn't order or pay) but I remember the Chop Chae being one of the most TASTIEST foods I've EVER EATEN, and trust me, I have the best home cooked meals from my mother and I go to authentic places VERY often. The other meal that came just as close was the teriyaki salmon. OMGGGGG so savory and delicious (however either the most expensive dish or the top ones). I went again next time and ordered only Chop Chae to eat with my mother. It filled us both and we still had leftovers (around $18). For new comers, you can refill the side dishes! Great service (young staff) and great food. Will always come back! read more

Very authentic food with extensive menu including Japanese options. My favorite is the caviar mixed rice. Also try the potato and pork rib stew. It's hard to come by anywhere else in AZ. It's quite a drive for me to come here but will make the effort if I'm craving their food. Service is fast. read more

GOGI - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Okay to begin...I found a hair in my fried rice. We decided to try Gogi for the first time on a Monday night. Both my husband and I were seated immediately however the service was slow to attend to us and take our drink order (somewhat expected as we read prior reviews). After ordering our food, it all arrived within 15 minutes or so which was great. We ordered the sweet & spicy fried chicken and the garlic fried chicken, both of these were phenomenal in flavor, value, and overall crispness. The garlic was sliced and tasted like roasted garlic and the wings were drizzled in a honey garlic type sauce, it wasn't an overwhelming amount of garlic just sweet and tasty. Finger licking good tbh. The spicy was good as well, we were impressed with the portion sizes. Then the fried rice came out, it was nicely plated with a fried egg on top however after mixing it all together and a taking a few bites, I found two small black hairs curled up and stuck to the oil of the plate. I was absolutely disgusted from this especially being our first time here, it wasn't a great impression..we flagged down the staff to let them know. A young gentleman came over and said oh well let me ask my boss but refuses to take the plate out of the way (who wants to still look at the hair on the plate?!?) he then proceeds to come back 5 minutes later and offers to remake another order of the fried rice. We accept, however he still doesn't take the old plate out of the way. Around 10 minutes later, the new order of rice arrived and it was better cooked even, the beef was more tender while in the first order the beef was over cooked. Overall, this experience with the rice was very off setting. We then ordered the kalbi which had very good flavor but the portion size was very small for $26, it was about 2 1/2 ribs cut up. I'd recommend only ordering this dish at there lunch price or in the bento to get a better value. All in all, we would return for the delicious KFC but slightly hesitant since there was a sanitary issue and the way the staff handled it was off putting. They could've apologized or at least taken the plate away once it was brought to there attention. We spent $72 on dinner which felt like a lot for casual Korean dining. If you decide to try Gogi expect slow service, only worth it for the chicken and would probably be the best experience to take out. read more

My boyfriend and I are both half Korean and were raised on Korean food IN Korea, and we both agree that this has to be the WORST Korean restaurant in all of Arizona. We ordered the spicy pork belly, mackerel, and seafood soft tofu soup. The spicy pork marinade tasted store-bought (there was a strange preservative-like aftertaste), the soup was basically just hot pepper flakes and pepper paste in hot water, and the mackerel was over fried, dry, and lacked any flavor whatsoever aside from grease. It was a complete waste of money going here and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone ever. read more

I live in N. Phoenix, and this place is a 45 min drive away from my house. The food is worth the drive, gas, distance, and time. I dream about eating this food daily. Last night, the place was packed with Korean families who could be making their own Korean food at home, but obviously weren't bc this place is out of this world. The service is sketchy, but the food is the highlight. Don't let the bad service keep you away from the delightfulness your taste buds deserve. The flavor here is full bodied and inviting. I never say this, but it's better than the Korean food I had growing up in a Korean American household. THERE, I SAID IT. *drops mic, walks away*. (My mother was an amazing cook, too) We usually order the pork hot stone bowl (bibimbap); it comes out piping hot and stays that way. If you order a hot stone bowl, be willing to share or don't eat for several days before; it's a huge serving. One serving could easily feed 3 people. I wish I knew the right words to describe how tasty it is. The haemul pajun was hot, crispy, and not so thick. It was the most homestyle pajun I've eaten at a Korean restaurant. Like the hot stone bowl, this is also a generous portion I'd order this as a meal and eat it all by myself. Ok, I'm a liar. If it didn't make me look like a pig, I'd order 2... All to myself. We also had the Korean chirak. If you like sashimi, you'll love this dish. It's like bibimbap, but the fish is raw and it's served in sliced red cabbage-like a salad. You get rice, on the side, to add in if you want. The sashimi was creamy, like butter, and incredibly fresh. You also got a lot of it. The cabbage paired perfectly with the sashimi. The sauce was a nice balance of spiciness with a hint of sweetness. read more

The good: - Korean Fried Chicken was top notch, no complaints about that. - Waitress was super friendly The bad: - Pretty sure I got sick from the Beef Bulgogi. It's been 24 hours now and I've been in the bathroom probably 10 or 11 times. Felt sick within an hour of eating. Not sure if I'll be back for the Bulgogi again. :( read more

My family and I were trying to find a sushi restaurant around this area...but we couldn't find it. So we decided to try this place out because we all love Korean food anyways, and so glad we did! The food is great, can't go wrong with Korean food. We ordered a seafood pancake, two hot stone bowls, a galbi and tofu soup combo, and a tempura udon. The food was good and we were so stuffed...had way too much food for two people. I could of shared that hot stone bowl with someone. But, that also means korean food again for lunch the next day :) The side dishes were super delicious. Loved the steamed egg in a bowl, the spinach, and the bean sprouts!! Those are always my favorite. I asked for so many refills of those..I felt bad. But that gets me to their service. Our waitress was so nice and attentive, and always had a smile on her face! She didn't mind at all that I kept asking for bean sprouts, and she ended up giving me a to-go box full of them!!! Ahhhhh, that made my night. The entire time we were there, we only saw Koreans dining, or at least Asians, so I think that's a good sign that there's some legit Korean food. read more

Good Korean food and the portions are huge. It is a little pricey but you do get what you pay for. It was very busy when I went and I waited at least 30mins for my food. I didn't mind waiting since the service I got was decent and the waiter did come up to me to apologize for the wait and kept updates on the food. He also offered more side dishes for me to try while waiting so I didn't mind since they were basically free appetizers to me. They have quite a selection for both lunch and dinner on the menu. Lunch prices are MUCH cheaper than dinner, but I'm unsure about the portion size for lunch as I only went for dinner time. They also have sushi on the menu. One problem for me was the design of this place. I don't understand it. It's a little bit weirdly designed and off vibe for me. I don't feel cozy or comfortable sitting in the restaurant. It's just an off interior design for me. Another problem is that they don't have pictures on the menu to show the food. I like pictures on my menu so I know what I'm ordering, especially when I'm with someone who isn't use to eating cultured food. Other than that, the food is pretty bomb. read more

Tried a new place that recently opened up and being adventuresome we tried Korean food. Place is clean, nicely decorated. Service was alright, nobody really checked on us which sucks but they are busy and mostly Asian people :) We ordered Bulgogi which is a sweet Korean BBQ rib eye, very tasty. The shrimp fried rice was very good, it comes with a sunny side egg which was a lil weird but was good, and these two things together are plenty to share. They also served small side plates with cabbage, tofu, spinach, bean sprouts and one other thing. We also got a philidephia roll which was excellent, quite a big larger then other places and the st uff with more salmon and cream cheese. All in all, place was pretty good however their soda is canned and tasted like a soda that had been in the sun. They Defintely need soda on a gun. We will be back :) read more

Great great real Korean food in the valley! I've been looking for real authentic Korean food here but I had hard time to find it just right for me. Even the location is pretty far for me still this is the best Korean restaurant! Soon topu stew and short rib stew was even better than what I had in Korea or almost same as what I had in Korea. If you are looking for real good Korean food, you should try here! read more

Went there for a birthday celebration, 7 of us. My son ordered fried rice, beer and asked to see the sushi menu. The sushi menu came but the waiter didn't come back to take a sushi order. The rest of us got our food while son waited patiently. My son didn't get served, I cud see the frustration build up with my son. Done eating, we asked for the tab, I took the tab to the waiter, asked why the fried rice was taking so long and son didn't get to order his sushi. This place thot it wud be ok to give us a free plate of fried rice and still charge my son for his beer. We declined the free plate, my son was disgusted with them by now, appalled that he even got charged for his beer. The 2 ppl in charge (older man and female) were raising their voices by this time. We demanded they give us a sensible discount for all the mayhem they are putting us thru. They were utterly reluctant to acknowledge any wrongdoing, but we manage to squeeze 20% off our tab and walked away. I'm never coming back to this place, wasn't my favorite anyway, it was my birthday daughter's choice. How is it ok not to serve someone and charge the full tab? To the owner(s) - u severely miss the point of common decency and courtesy. Customer satisfaction comes first in any business, without it, you're nothing. The ppl have a right to know how rude and crude your actions were. read more

What happened to my favorite Korean restaurant?!! New owners took over and everything changed. The food was terrible and I got sick after eating it. Not the first person to complain about that so I hope the new owners do something to clean up their kitchen and ensure staff is washing their hands. I had the shrimp bimbibap and the shrimp was overcooked and tasteless, not clean and chewy. The "hot" sauce was not hot. I had to pour it again and again to get any flavor and spice. Definitely not real hot sauce. The appetizers were even bad and lacked variety. Heck, even the water was terrible. I'm so disappointed with the changes and won't be back. Fyi, these owners also own Snow Ice, and Big Sushi. read more

What a great find! Shouldn't be surprised since that shopping center has several great spots. I had the bibimbap with bulgogi and it was fantastic. They serve it on a hot stone do the rice gets a little crispy. We also got the fried chicken-regular and sweet and spicy. Regular was fine (a little under seasoned) but the other was quite good and made for some excellent leftovers. I deducted a star for the staff closing up all the tables around us (chairs propped on tables, sweeping the floor) a good 15-20 minutes before their 10pm closing. I get wanting to get out ASAP, but you start that after the close time, not before. Still, I would definitely go back! read more

I haven't had Korean food in forever and I am so glad I went to Gogi the other night. I had the daeji bulgogi (spicy pork) which is my go to. It was perfect. The quality of meat was very good and the amount of spice was to my liking. I also tried the seafood pancake which was extra crispy and the best one I've ever had. The sides were fresh, the fish cake and kimchi were different than what I'm used to but I enjoyed them. They play Kpop and have TVs showing music videos so it was more authentic to me. Service was fast despite it being a busy Friday night. I look forward to returning! read more

Hi we came to the restaurant GoGi here in Phoenix AZ. Expecting traditional Korean food. I called night before and asked about the style of food that are being prepared. Came in 11Am soon as they opened. Ordered food no problem. We ordered Tofu Combination with stone hot bibimbap. With separate order of spicy three layer pork belly korean style. Everything was great until food's came out. Spicy pork was sweet and salty with brown sauce all over it like and was told by the owners that they deep fry the pork before the marinating. You don't deep fry spicy pork if it is korean style. Side dishes are so lame it was the worst. We are Korean whom like to travel and really enjoy the dining out. I will not be or cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone if you are wanting the authentic korean food. This is not the way. I really don't believe they know how.... Maybe if they actually went got some training. Or actually taste there own food??? read more

The food is great. Love the food but guess what? My bill came up to 18.59 and I paid with two $20 dollars cash, $40 dollars total and asked for 15 back. My server thought I gave him only one twenty and still thought I was asking for $15 back. It looked like the owners were the one handling the cash. They did their drawer calculations and claimed that I only gave them one twenty dollar bill. I am a server and I handle cash all day. The server told me he had only been serving for a month so it makes sense as to why he could have mishandled the money but the owners seemed to be the one handling all of the transactions and they still calculated that I only gave them $20. I felt bad and still left 5 bucks for a tip. Pay with card so they don't accuse you of ripping them off with cash! I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon. read more

This place is great for lunch and dinner. The menu has a great variety. The inside decor is not bad and the tv screens that play korean music videos is a nice touch from the usual blank walls. The servers here are always nice and very accommodating. Never have I had a bad service and I've at one point gone to this place three times in one week. They do have newer servers now since they've opened but the quality has not changed. Food is great. The best prices for lunch can be found here. I would recommend the galbi and the seafood pancake. Get the pancake extra crispuI have tried their kimchi pancake but I'm not much of a kimchi fan. Not to say it's not good it's just not my preference. The tofu soups are all great so whatever flavor you may want you won't get disappointed. The bibimbap is amazing because of the amount and the flavor. It comes out hot and continually stays hot due to the stone bowl it is in. Don't let your rice sit for too long and continue mixing as you eat or your rice will get hard and will stuck to the bottom. Sushi here was also a great find. Pieces are huge and the prices are fair. If you like a nice cheap chirashi bowl they have two versions korean and traditional Japanese. Their Johnny rocket roll has a nice flavor but I would recommend the King Kong roll. True to it's name the pieces are huge. read more
