The food is always excellent here, absolutely the best. The service is a bit slow though.

My sister recommended this place. It's by Lee Lee's and other food spots Service is a hit or miss. First few times we went, the service was decent but once it gets packed, seem like they forget to prioritize their customers like you get ignored if you need your water filled. The food: Food is great! Good enough that if you get slow service, you won't really mind. I love their seafood pancake, fried chicken, kimchi tofu soup, and ban Chan. It's one of my favorite Korean spots in Arizona. If I want to eat some authentic Korean food, I'd def go back! read more

My favorite spot for casual Korean food! Large portions, always fresh, flavorful and worth every penny! I usually order the pork belly, which comes with rice and banchans. A++ read more

With a lot of friends from all over Asia here in the valley, we are always talking about flavors and food. I had blown them off a few times for lunch but when they all said this was one of their favorite places, I just had to check it out. Came in for dinner (as i had Snowtime dessert... just next door) on my mind for afterwards. We went with the traditional Hot Stone Bibimbap and the server broke it down to us. The chicken pictures I saw pulled my attention so I decided to order more than my stomach could handle. We have 2 Bibimbap (bulgogi as I wanted my own), and order of dumplings and yeah, 2 different orders of chicken... The sweet & spicey along with the Garlic Fried chicken... I had no clue they were half chickens so when they showed up to the table, I could only think "to go box please"... Food was good and it really opened me up more and more to Korean foods. The sides were good and even though I'm not a big kimchi fan, I enjoyed. When I come with friends, we will have to do a table as the booths are a bit snug to my liking. Good food! read more

When I'm in the area, I usually stop here. You will get sides (kimchi, sweet potato, fish cakes etc) when you order a food item that is not a bento box. The food is always delicious! The fried chicken with green onions is a lot of food! read more

We just moved to Phoenix from Houston. We thought we would miss Chinatown since Phoenix doesn't have on and Houston has a fantastic one! But, we found the best Korean food right here in Phoenix (Chandler)! Portions are HUGE and could easily feed 3 people. The seafood pancake is so good! Walked out full with three full to -go containers for a second dinner tomorrow! read more

I was craving for Korean food last night and ChoDong and BanChan were closed on Tuesday so this is the next closest restaurant that was opened. We arrived around 6:00 pm and there were 3 tables. It smelled really good with grilled meat coming from the kitchen and that was a good sign! We were seated right away! They went out of Hite beer so I tried the Cass. Very light. Next we ordered and waited. The place started filling up and by the time we got our food we didn't see our waiter again. Looked like they were under staffed and with 2 people taking care of 15 + tables you are not going to get much service. I wanted the refill of my banchan so we had to wave at them several times and finally after we almost finished the food the banchan came. The seafood pancake was the highlight of the evening very crispy but the bulgogi and soon tofu soup combo was just ok. My problem was there was some bugs flying around. I had to guard my food. And they serve my soup in a serious crack bowl! Please please replace your broken stone wear is ugly and I don't want to eat foreign objects. read more

When I entered the restaurant, Korean music videos were playing on the three tvs. The waitress greeted me and asked me to wait until she cleared a table. Then, she motioned for me to come over to the table once it was cleaned. The restaurant was busy and it took a little while for me to give my order to the waiter. They were so busy they didn't get a chance to check on me or ask if I wanted more of the banchan. I ordered the beef tofu soup and the bulgogi. The meat was good quality where it wasn't chewy or stringy. The soup lacked a bit of flavor, but it was decent nonetheless. I had ordered spicy and it was the right level for me. The side dishes included fish cakes, kimchee, fermented radish strips, pickled squash, and pickled kimchee cucumbers. The bulgogi had a sweet sauce on it. I was surprised because I am more used to savory sauces on the bulgogi. The amount of food looked a bit small for the price, based on other Korean restaurants that I have been to. I think if I go back I'll try something else like the spicy rice cake or the yakisoba. read more

I'm officially addicted to their KFC (Korean fried chicken)!! At 3 AM, I'm drooling from the thought of the leftover chicken in the refrigerator. Also, I'm changing their KFC name to KAKC (pronounded Kack-Cee) from now on. It stands for Kick A$$ Korean Chicken. Let the early breakfast commence. read more

I always enjoy the food when I come here. I'm a semi-picky eater but I am always able to find something that sounds good. I have had a few different dishes and will try more in thr future. It is a little on the pricey side in my opinion for comparable restaurants but I try to support local. read more

Mmmm Korean food..... Decided on having lunch here after seeing that they had cold noodle soup! We arrived at 11:30am and people were slowly starting to trickle in. We were quickly seated in a booth and the waitress brought us the menus and some water. The water was great and it did not take like tap water. The menu was pretty big and had a wide selection of Korean foods. They do have a lunch special and I opted on getting the galbi with steamed white rice. The lunch special also came with the traditional side dishes. (Kimchi, cucumber) We also ordered an extra steamed egg, some cold noodle soup, and a steamed egg. The steamed egg was DEEELICIOUS. The hot pot was filled to the brim and the egg tasted so good and it was so fluffy. The cold noodle soup wasn't cold enough and it was way to sweet. The sauce they put in it was too strong. The portion was big though, and it can easily be shared within two people. Our server was running around like crazy but she still managed to check up on us a few times. I believe it was only two employees tending tables and it was starting to get really busy for the lunch hour. We never got the side of white rice that we had ordered, but when we got our bill, they were still charging us for it. We flagged down the server that had brought over the check, and he nicely said he would take it off, thank you. My food was great and the meat had so much flavor! I will definitely be back to try out the rest of their dishes! read more

TOO LEGIT TO QUIT. My husband and I haven't been this happy in a long time from a restaurant and especially Korean! We were on a road trip and decided to stop in Chandler for some Korean fried chicken. Just WOW. Absolutely delicious food, I wish I had taken pictures because the portions were huge. My bimbimbap was GIGANTIC and can easily feed 2. I love that the stone pot was shallow so you get more space for crispy rice on the bottom. It was delicious! My husbands crispy Korean Fried Chicken was some of the best we've ever had outside of Korea. We truly loved this place and the staff were very friendly and accommodating to our children. read more

Wow, where do I start? The service was top tier our waiter was a gentleman named Daniel. He was the nicest and is very knowledgeable about everything on the menu. This place is family owned and has some of the best korean food in Arizona. We ordered bulgi beef, the korean fried chicken, and a bowl of ramen. Everything and I mean everything was super flavorful and had such a fresh taste. Plating looked amazing and was great date night spot!! read more

Short Review: Good food followed by decent service. If you are into Korean cuisine, GOGI is one to try if you haven't already. The inside feels a lot like a Korean diner. It is spacious and bright, but warm ambient. My only concern is the price vs quantity here. Quite honestly, it has happen often. Korean restaurant tends to price their dishes very expensive, but they do offer the fair and appropriate amount of quantity that matches the price. My problem is, why couldn't they do a more low quantity at a low price? For more details, read below. Long Review: GOGI is located in the center of Chandler of Arizona. It is also next to my favorite dessert shop, Snowtime. GOGI specialized in Korean dishes, but they also have a few Japanese dishes here. For the most part, you won't have any parking problems because it is in a food area. On the outside, the shop sign is capitalized in bold red. There is much on the outside other than the tall arch way. On the inside, it looks more of an Asian diner. It is spacious, clean, and organized. The lighting makes it feels "classy", but of course, it's just a casual Korean restaurant. On the menus, there are quite a lot of options including sushi. When it comes down to it, I got the Soon Tofu Combo (Hot Stone Bibimbap) and KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) Sweet & Spicy. It took about 8 - 12 minutes for all of my dishes to come out. Soon Tofu Combo (Hot Stone Bibimbap): This was a combo that goes with the tofu soup. I got the mushroom soup. For the bibimbap, honestly, I thought they would give me a choice of meat. In the end, I got a vegetables bibimbap. For those that doesn't know what is a bibimbap, it is a Korean dish that consisted of mixed various ingredients (mostly vegetables) and rice on the bottom with choice of meat like pork/beef/chicken. It also usually followed by saucing on top of bibimbap with gochujang sauce, et cetera. Other than that, it's really nothing special, especially for Asian people who experience these types of food almost on a daily. For people who are new to these types of dish, it is full of flavor without a single plain taste. KFC Sweet & Spicy Ver.: Think of it like Popeyes or Kentucky Fried Chicken, but with their style of batter and seasoning. And that's the end results. So, if you like fried chicken, odds are you'll like these Korean fried chicken as well. On the menu, they had a couple of KFC, but they recommend me the sweet and spicy for my first time. I have tried Korean Fried Chicken elsewhere before, and sadly, here was just okay. My problem with it was the dryness. The bigger pieces was more juicier, while the smaller and medium pieces are dryer. However, the flavor was excellent. The crispiness was also good. It was just kind of overcooked. Service was fine, but I wish they could have told me and give me the option of having meat with the Bibimbap combo I got. In conclusion, I rate the Bibimbap Combo/KFC Sweet & Spicy in quantity, a B+/-A and in quality a B+/B. My only problem in quantity is that they should make a half portion for the KFC with half of the price, of course. For instance, it was $17.99 for the WHOLE KFC. They should make a HALF KFC for $8.99 because the portion was way too much for a single person, especially for dining. Same goes to Bibimbap. For some reason, Korean restaurant tends to have this tendency of having too much of everything. As for quality, the bibimbap was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. For the KFC quality, it would have been better if they didn't overcook it. So, do I recommend eating here? Sure, but there are a whole lot of option out there. So, don't just settle for one. However, If this is your first time, then by all means, try GOGI. read more

Food was terrible. Worst of this type I've ever had. I bought a bento box. Fatty meat. Cold foot. Also bought vegetable tempura. Worst I've ever had. NO SAUCES with any of this except jalapeño peppers in a small dish in their juices. This was on 5/29. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! read more

The food at Gogi's is delicious and fresh. I always get the pork belly, and you can never go wrong with it. I also love that the entrees come with the little side dishes, it adds variety. Service is good, not too absent not too pushy. There's always good music playing and the MV's play on the TV. read more

I've eaten here over the course of the past six years and have always enjoyed eating their Seolleongtang - ox bone soup. It is my go to meal for when the weather is cloudy, I need a pick me up or I just want some soup! The kitchen staff and waiters are nice and have never made me feel bad for asking for extra kimchi (as some places are a bit stingy with their kimchi lol). Will continue to be a place that I will visit over the next few years. read more

Super good ! The food was amazing and the music they played was great. They were very attentive of us and I like that they have Coke Zero!

First time trying this place and food was great n very traditional. One negative experience is the online order process with yelp/grubhub. I was waiting for the confirmation but after 20 minutes of not getting confirmation, i just called the restaurant n found out my food is already ready. Food wasn't as hot by the time i picked up so next time i will just call place an order. read more

Service was fast even though it was lunch time. I got the bulgogi and mixed tofu soup. A friend got galbi. My husband got the fried chicken. I bulgogi was a tad too sweet but it was good combo with the mixed tofu soup. The soup was filled with seafood, veggies and small pieces of beef. It was topped with and egg. The tofu was soft/silken and the soup was NOT super powder heavy which was great. I enjoyed the soup a lot. The galbi was easy to eat and flavorful! The chicken was good. I would order the sweet and spicy one again but it stuck onto the chicken more unlike the garlic. The garlic chicken soaked the chicken more and lost the crispness of it. Overall I would come back again and try more dishes. read more

I think this is one of the better Korean food spots in AZ, that isn't KOREAN BBQ! Good variety of dishes ranging from noodles, tofu soup, bimbimbap, and even K-fried chicken. What separates Korean joints in my mind is the banchan. While other diners push it aside after tasting, I consider it part of my meal and K-pop it all in my mouth! This visit Gogi had the common banchan side dishes- potato, bean sprouts, Kimchi, radish, fish cakes, but I thought they tasted pretty good and fresh. BIMBIMBAP- pretty good. I felt it was lacking in the rice portion, thus the toppings overwhelmed the rice. Also, the gochujang sauce could have used a little more pizzaz. Or needed salt added to the ingredients. The dish just tasted a little under-seasoned. JAPCHAE- the flavor alone, on point. Not too much sesame oil which a lot of places tend to do and it becomes too oily. Here, it was balanced in flavor. Now for the overall rating of the japchae... It came with mixed greens on the plate with it. Kinda out of place and weird because it did not have any kind of dressing on it. It was just plain. The 'salad' could have been on a separate dish or left off all together. It was getting in the way of the noodles! I think this salad on the plate was just a filler as an illusion to make you feel like you are getting a BIG portion. The only thing big about it was that it was a BIG mistake to put it on there. Lesson to the business owners; Don't take your customers for fools. At $18 I felt this is too pricey! Yeah it had a little bulgogi in it, but the cost of noodles are inexpensive and should not warrant $18. Anytime I pay over $15 for noodles I'm getting hosed by the restaurant. I also noticed that Gogi did a little interior decorating which turned it into a nice warm ambiance. Slight upgrades made big improvements to the atmosphere. read more

Do yourself a favor and check this spot out! It's incredibly delicious. We are lucky to have this spot in Ahwatukee!

This may not be a fancy or trend setting "hot and new" spot amidst all of the Korean and Asian fusion restaurants that are popping up everywhere, but this is a different animal my friend. Traditional Korean food, big flavor, big portions, friendly prices. Service is laid back and friendly. Stone bowl bibimbap was sizzling and savory...I'm getting a hunger pain just thinking about it. Good bulgogi. Kimchi fried rice good. Ban chan dishes were good. Some Japanese items on the menu like teriyaki and katsu style fish/chicken. Don't forget to share some Soju with a friend! Or by yourself, I'm not judging.. Depending on what mood your in, make sure u consider trying Gogi. If your tastebuds are looking for the equivalent of your favorite sweatpants, go here...it is comforting, low maintenance, and satisfying AF. read more

My husband & I had the pleasure of dining at GOGI for the first time today. The service was wonderful & the food was delicious. We ordered the Spicy Pork Hot Stone Bibimbap and the 1/2 Sweet & Spicy fried chicken & the other 1/2 Soy Sauce Fried Chicken. The Hot Stone Bibimbap was very good. The Bibimbap looks humungous being served in a large stone bowl but it's mainly a one person dish. We shared the Bibimbap & had to order more rice because it wasn't enough to fill two people. The fried chicken was light, crispy & seasoned well. I ended up enjoying the friend chicken with my side of white rice. Overall, we had a nice dinner & will be back soon. Thank you GOGI! read more

Food that is fast, consistent taste and delicious! FOOD: 5 stars CLEANLINESS: 4 stars (sometimes the tables and menus have been sticky) PRICE FOR AMOUNT: 4 stars RECOMMENDATIONS: Bulgogi Stone Bowl The taste is consistent every time I've gone here and getting a table is pretty easy, even when they have large parties. If you've never had a stone bowl, I highly recommend it. The bowl is HOT and cooks/crisps up the rice making it even more tasty. However, I feel like the AMOUNT of bulgogi in the bowl is a bit sub-par for the price. But, the taste is delicious and keeps me coming back for more. You get their delicious Korean sides with the stone bowl and they are unlimited. read more

Delicious and reasonably priced! We came in here looking for sushi and we were not disappointed. We got a California and a shrimp tempura roll. Both were fat and tasting fresh! Lots of cucumber avocado and crab. We also got the bimbibap hot stone and it was full of veggies and flavor. Service was super quick and friendly. And the water was delicious! I know that's strange to say, but as someone who only drinks water that's a BIG win! We will absolutely be back! read more

Korean Fried Chicken perfection! This is the best I have ever had. We order original and garlic Korean fried chicken combination plate which is about 20 pieces of chicken. We ordered two chicken fried rice orders because I wasn't sure if one would be enough for my boys and I. One was more than enough. The other thing I didn't know came with the meal was these little appetizers of pickled vegetables, potatoes, & kimchi. The service was great, dining area clean. The prices were right for the amount of food you get. My husband has been here a few times as well and was never disappointed with the quality of food or service. read more

No complaints with my friends so far, except just waiting on water. The food portions are huge so you get a decent amount for your money. I get the Bimbimbop and the tofu stew when I come there.

You have to try this place if you love Korean fried chicken! If you don't already know, KFC is super crunchy chicken wings/drums. The garlic wings are amazing, and the sweet & spicy flavor was yummy too. A lot of people came in for takeout garlic wings while we dined in! We also got hot stone bibimbap. The Bulgogi bibimbap was so flavorful and delicious. The shrimp one was just OK in comparison. A little bland, but I was full anyway after the fried chicken so I took it home and ate the leftovers with chili sauce. The Bulgogi really added a lot of flavor! There's a lot of other great things on the menu like their bento boxes that I'd love to come back and try. read more

My boyfriend and I ended up looking for a late dinner around 8pm and was around here and decided to give this place a try. They were closing soon, so we knew we had to order and eat fast. They served us banchan prior our entrees. - Kimchee fried rice: The portions were huge and I wish the egg was cooked so that it was slightly runny, but it was a bit dry instead. We were able to take the fried rice home, because it was such a huge portion that we weren't able to finish. Decent, but not the best I've had. - Slow Cooked Bulgogi Stew: This dish came out a lot larger than we thought too. My boyfriend had two large beef bones in his stew with his glass noodles and veggies. I thought this dish was very bland, which gives us little faith in the rest of the food here. The portion was generous though. Overall, we felt rushed since the place was empty and close to closing, but the food itself wasn't as memorable as we wished. The service was decent. If we were to return, we would try the fried chicken or hot stone dishes as they seem to be the better dishes according to other Yelpers. read more

It was one of those moments when you're craving for KBBQ and you go on your handy dandy yelp instead of going to your favorite Korean spots in the valley. Gogi popped up on my search and since I had been wanting to try this place out for so long we just decided to come here. First of all, unlike other kbbq places we were seated right away and service was great! Unfortunately the flavor of their food didn't catch me. The Bulgogi we ordered wasn't piping hot and Galbi was tougher than usual. My son ordered shrimp fried rice which he loved along with the fish cake banchan. Despite the lack of flavors, I'd come back to try other food on the menu like Soon Tofu and bibimbap because it seems to have the rave reviews. read more

So Gogi is one of these spots where u can hit up the all u can need asian needs in one spot shopping Stop mall. I just So happened to be about a Korean drama (KING -Netflix check it out) you know me and my dramas. Something about them always have me relating to food -Welp!... in the drama and most of kdramas they indulge in Olive BBQ Chicken and they have these awesome looking fried wings that look like five kinds of flavored fire and so of course that got me to lookin all over AZ for that or the replicant of it which brought me to Gogi First of all the do have a vast menu that cover suplenty of Korean favs such as spicy rice cake (Tteokbokki) and japchae noodles and much more. But when I tell u they take that whole chicken and fry him up like in Korea I am not lying they fry that chicken up and season and sauce it up and it is good in either the garlic sauce or the the spicy sauce and it was Plenty to be taken home !! The atmosphere was okay it was quiet and not to many people around ... the Kpop videos play non stop which keep u wondering how boy bands survive so long in Seoul but fail miserably in the US ( WE MISS U *NSYNC) .. but anyhow the staff is very friendly and they kept the side dishes coming which is more then I could say for most Korean spots-because let's face it there are those spots that consider hot dog slices and jalapeños traditional Korean side dishes ... (really)... and hamburgers are Méxícan cuisine. Anyhow if your in the market for Korean fried chicken that's juicy and there's more then enough to go around and crispy and well sauced.. take it from this Undercover Food Lover and check out Gogi... and if u in the market for a sweet dessert that light on the calories and heavy on the flavor step next door and see my review on SnoTime read more
