This place really hits a sweet spot between quality, value, and comfort. The staff is friendly, the vibe is very casual, and the portions are incredibly generous--probably one of the better value meals you'll find in Hoboken. The soy garlic fried chicken tenders were a highlight: fresh, flavorful, and served in a portion more than big enough to share. The sauce leans sweeter than your usual soy garlic so keep that in mind. The make-your-own Bibimbap bowl is a great concept. Everything in the bowl was solid--fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you'd hope for. I do wish there were a few more side options to mix things up a bit, but overall, very satisfying. The galbi was on the sweeter side compared to other places I've tried, but still really pleasant. Only note is that my drink didn't show up until about 15 minutes into the meal. Seems like the kitchen forgot about it until someone else ordered a couple of drinks and they had to fire up the drink station. read more

Whether "All About Gogi" technically counts as a replacement for "Gogi Grill" or just a name change is beyond my pay grade. The bowls are relatively similar; I enjoyed the spicy pork with hot sauce. But one downside of the new version is one kimchi option instead of three in the prior configuration. read more

Awful "Korean" "food". This place has got to go. Total trash heap and awful service. They service ground beef acting like it's bulgogi and say they sauce their wings and lie about the menu. Their menu said their wings were tossed in sauce and they came completely dry. The lady even argued with me and I had to point on her menu where it said tossed and sauce. She then tried to gaslight me and tell me that tossed and sauce meant something different. And to the owner's response, that was ground beef, dude. read more

It's fine if you want something quick but the quality is not the best. I only come here in a pinch. It's not worth the money unless you just want something in your stomach ASAP before catching a train. There are plenty of better Korean restaurants around. Service and ambience are on par. read more

(Overall: B) - After trying a good array of food from Goji Grill, I thought it was pretty decent overall and would revisit as it is one of the better options in Hoboken for Asian food, though not certaintly without flaws. (Galbi: B) - The korean short rib here is impressively tender and addicting to eat. I do think that the seasoning is on a bit on the sweeter side almost like a candy. (Pork Bulgogi: A) - This pork is very tender as well, and well seasoned; the spice is not extravagantly spicy so it adds a pleasant kick to balance the sweet and savory components. (Beef Tofu Stew: C) - Despite the unappealing look of this dish, it was quite well packaged for takeout without spillage. I do wish there was more substance for this to be a complete dish as it had a few pieces of chopped tofu in it with a good portion size of beef. (Sides: C) - The potato vermicelli is by far the best side as it is made similar to Japchae without the additional ingredients; the pickled radish is good as well. I liked the spice of the coleslaw, but felt like it was desperately calling for some salt and perhaps vinegar or sugar. The fried rice tasted like rice added with some soy and butter. -- Food: +1 Presentation: E Price: E Overall: +1 B Insta/Beli: @amei_eats read more

I used to brag about this place. haven't had this in two Years. I was so excited and anticipated the flavor all Week! Here we gooooo! I come in and say Fried Rice, Double short rib meat, butter corn, caramelized onions, spicy slaw, brussels, with Cilantro Sauce. A total of $23 per bowl. I sit down to eat my meal and the short rib was hard as a rock, covered in blubber, and flavorless. I told the server and all he could say was so sorry. No exchange, no discount, nada!!!!! I then said..... awwwww dont be sorry. The reviews will hear about it. they just lost me. Sorry not sorry! read more

I stopped by here on my way to the Hoboken train station. The staff is nice friendly and answered all my questions and even let me sample a few items. I went with the soy garlic fried chicken strips. Freshly cooked chicken, flavorful soy garlic sauce and each bite was just awesome!!! Also got a one of their bowls. I got the Korean fried rice. For the Gogi, I went with the Beef Bulgogi-Ribeye. For the toppings, I got sweet potato noodles, garlic butter corn, spinach, and sautéed onions. The portions were very generous. I will definitely be back and try. The place had seating and was clean and well lit. read more

This was my first time trying Gigi Grill in Hoboken. My sister had tried it back in Irvine. There's so many options and I love that they also served bubble tea. You go up to the screen to order if paying with credit card or Apple Pay. If not you can go to the front and order. It was like a Korean Chipotle / Cava style order. I ordered the soondobu (tofu soup) with three sides. I ordered the purple grain rice with cucumber kimchi, carrots and more cucumbers. The soodobu stayed really throughout our stay until I finished, it was also spicy . The beef was so trendy it melted in my mouth. I would highly recommend this. The cucumber kimchi, I was it was thicker instead of thinly sliced. That's my only preference. My sister got the same but got the matcha brown sugar bubble tea, no boba just jelly. It was really good. Parking is rough in Hoboken but we were there for an event at the W so we made a stop here. Highly recommend. read more

It's been a long time since I've been to Gogi Grill and I thought to stop in for a grab and go dinner. The owner was my manager's wedding photographer and this was a dream of his. I know they opened a second location in the city. Happy to see this dream become a flourishing reality. The meal I ordered today was my favorite. It's a bit saltier than I remember, but I alternate from the vermicelli to the salad bowl depending on my hunger level. This will keep you satiated for a long work day. They now have two kiosks to order from when you walk in. I know a handful of the fast casual places in Hoboken have switched to this, but here they are also able to take your order as you are ready. This method helps save time at the register. I'm always happy with a restaurant that offers Ito En's classic green tea as well! After at least 5 years in business, this is now a classic to me and it has outlasted many restaurants in the area. read more

Several reviews liken Gogi Grill to a Korean Chipotle and I agree that's pretty spot on. My husband and I ordered takeout from their website on a Wednesday night, and were pleased with how fast the food was ready during the dinner rush. We both got bowls which come with a protein, starch, 4 toppings and a sauce - sweet potato vermicelli, tofu and the red pepper sauce for me, and purple rice with spicy chicken and the brown katsu sauce from my husband. The portion sizes were great and they were not stingy on the sauce! I'd definitely order from here again because there are some many different bowl combos to try and other things on the menu (Korean burrito, tacos, salads, stir-frys....)! read more

Good quality ingredients and portions! The food was fresh and very filling. I like the customization such that you can be as healthy or unhealthy as you want. The spicy chicken and galbi was a little sweet for my taste. And got too much sauce. The shrimp was rather bland. Vegetables were standard, freshly prepared. Good quick lunch overall. read more

I ordered pick up through UberEats. I ordered the soy garlic fried chicken tenders and a side of sweet potato vermicelli. My order was ready when I arrived. The portion of the tenders was amazing. It was not as flavorful as another place I go to in Florham Park, but I do recommend this place if you are in the mood for quick Korean bites. There was plenty of seating for anyone who wants to sit and eat as well. Also thank you to the owner (I believe) for letting me use the restroom :) not many businesses allow it anymore, so I appreciate it! read more

I would definitely recommend Gogi Grill for a quick meal! The food here is great! They have so many options. You can choose from a bowl, burrito, or taco. I decided to get the bowl with chicken, fried rice, cucumber, carrots, and corn. You can get up to 4 sides. Everything was tasty and they served a good amount of food. The staff is very nice and welcoming. The place was clean and they are taking Covid-19 precautions by spacing out the tables they have and wearing masks. I also enjoyed the music they played. Honestly felt like a DJ was controlling it! read more

It's like chipotle but KOREAN! Workers are so helpful and friendly it seems like they know their own menu very well. This was my very first time coming to this spot and from the outside it doesn't look like a big shop but it's pretty roomy on the inside! The server explained menu items to me that I wasn't familiar with and he helped me pick out which sauce that would go best with what i ordered! I got stir fried beef bulgogi bowl with lots of greens and mushrooms on top! The portion they give you is BIG and good enough to keep you full for hours after. The food felt like it was homemade and made me feel happy after eating. Great place to stop by for a quick meal if you're a college student or you work nearby and want to grab something nutritious but fast! Can't wait to come back here the next time I am in Hoboken read more

My wife and I ordered the bowl and cheese tonkatsu from DoorDash, and we were extremely disappointed. We're both Korean American, and we know what a good Bibimbap and Tonkatsu tastes like (even though Tonkatsu is Japanese). The portions were small, and the Galbi in the bowl and the Tonkatsu were way too overcooked and hard to chew. The other ingredients in the bowl and the Kimchi fried rice were edible but not four-star-worthy delicious. read more

As a Korean person living in the area I think i can confidently comment on the quality of korean fare. Gogi grill is a far cry from even average Korean dining. We ordered both the bulgogi and one of their bowls and to be completely honest, both were terrible. I'm not sure if the quality has gone down hill at this Hoboken location but it's just not good. I highly recommend looking to Pal Park or Fort Lee for one of the countless traditional Korean restaurants for a bibimbap bowl or meat dish like Bulgogi or Kalbi. read more

Worst "korean" food i've ever had... and i'm putting the quotation marks because this was not real korean food. It was obvious from the way the food looked and tasted that this was not authentic. I got the spicy beef and tofu soup which was so oily that no matter how much I stirred it, there would be globs of oil sitting on top. It was also spicy but only in the back of my throat so I kept choking as i sipped the soup and ended up not being able to eat it at all. There was also only about 4-5 small pieces of beef in the whole thing. It also came with a side of korean fried rice which was just flavorless brown rice. My sister got the bowl with chicken breast, fried rice and different toppings but also complained about how bland it was. I also got the dalgona coffee bubble tea which was not good at all and tasted super cheap. The only saving grace was the kimchi cheese tater tots we got which had flavor. Service was also nice but we will definitely never be returning to this place. read more

it's like korean chipotle -- great idea, pretty good execution. all the toppings are pretty much prepared ahead of time and you can just pick what items you want in your bowl (think bibimbap, fast food style). though the food is pre-cooked, quality isn't an issue at all. you can choose from bulgogi, chicken, and some other protein. i usually opt for the spicy bacon (aka spicy style pork belly/samgyupsal). you're limited to 4 toppings in the price, but i find that i always want more (c'mon korean bibimbap has more than 4 toppings, but i get it). i always opt for the bean sprouts (kong namul), zucchini, and spinach -- very classic for bibimbap. and then i get the butter kimchi, which is basically just kimchi sauteed in butter, yummmm! read more

Delicious Korean BBQ fast food has finally come to Hoboken. I stopped by based on yelp reviews. Very much like Chipotle's with its ordering: select choice of rice, protein and 4 sides to add to your rice bowl bibimbap plus your sauce. Try the purple rice (a mixture of white and wild rice), the thin sliced bulgogi rib-eye beef and whatever sides you want as long as you get kimchi. Yum! The server gave me two sauces (green and spicy red) because I couldn't decide. They were good mixed together, but I was partial to the cilantro lime jalapeño green sauce. Gogi Grill is a welcome and needed restaurant in a city with such a diverse and cosmopolitan population. Hopefully it lasts a long time in a spot where successive restaurants have failed every six months or so. Office tenant growth nearby bodes well for Gogi! read more

I picked up some food from Gogi Grill on Friday around 6:30pm. They sell bubble tea and they have a couple of seats outside on the sidewalk. I got a bulgogi bowl with vermicelli, and my friend got a a spicy chicken bowl with purple rice. The bowls were very filling, and the vegetables all tasted very fresh. You can pick up to four toppings, and you can also get sesame seeds and/or seaweed on top. The bulgogi itself was sweet and pretty average. I would recommend stopping by if you're looking for some food to pick up! read more

Gogi Grill - Bulgogi Bowl with Vermicelli and Spicy Chicken bowl with Purple Rice - Korean Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

I met with a friend for a quick dinner near Hoboken Station. I read the other reviews to find out there was a Groupon for $12 for any bowl and a drink (good deal, although your drink options are very limited). FOOD: I got a bowl with purple rice, Galbi (rib eye beef), butter kimchi, romaine lettuce, garlic corn, and sautéed onions. I got the spicy sauce as my sauce. It was okay. I thought the Galbi was under flavored and generally underwhelming. The spicy sauce was pretty good, flavorful and not too spicy. I would probably get the spinach as a topping next time. AMBIANCE: Fast casual where they make it for you and then you pay and serve yourself, like Chipotle. Decent space and a good amount of seating. The place was empty when I got there. SERVICE: I was served promptly but the person working clearly didn't really want to be there. OVERALL: Meh. Nothing to really write home about. Edible but definitely not noteworthy. But well priced with a Groupon! read more

Let me start by saying I love Korean food. I normally order from a different spot in Jersey City but I wanted to check this spot out. I really wanted to like Gogi Grill because I've seen it for a while but never eaten there. When I ordered (thru Grubhub) the delivery came early and the food was piping hot so I was hoping for good things. Plus they have milk tea -- all reasons for the 3 stars. But that's where the good ends. I regularly order the tofu & beef sondobu (sp) and even tho I'm not Korean I go to Korea often & have eaten at enough good Korean spots here in the US to know what *should* be in the flavor profile for the most recognizable dishes. Unfortunately, this missed the mark HEAVILY. While it was spicy, it tasted like what people think Americans expect from Korean food. While there was plenty of tofu & beef in it (kudos for that!), there were no veggies or egg (which I paid extra for the egg) and it really lacked flavor and the broth was super runny. The soup was spicy but bland and I definitely feel like I overpaid when I could have gotten the EXACT same thing from my go-to spot (Ahri's Kitchen) for the same amount and it would have been REALLY satisfying. The regular cabbage kimchi was ok - but again heavy on spice and thin on the other flavors. The cucumber kimchi was incredibly bland too though. I could have just eaten a bare cucumber from my fridge even though this was clearly marinated in something. It's a bit disappointing considering that a trip thru the Holland Tunnel or even over Marin Blvd gets you way better Korean food. :( read more

Love it!!! Enjoy everything I've ordered!!! Our work place places orders all the time. We all order great place to eat.

WARNING : If you are someone use to REAL Korean food, stay away. This place will only disappoint & frustrate you. Not sure what all the hype is about this place, consider me spoiled I guess but I can honestly say never again. The chipotle style of serving food is not for every culture. The beef (bulgogi) was of poor quality and full of fat. Real bulgogi you can scoop up with a fork and eat with worry of biting into something rubbery. The other meat options do not look like it's made fresh, but rather Pre made and heated on a grill. This is just a sorry excuse of maximizing on the "Korean" trend that is hitting the US. Again, there are so many reviews with good ratings but those that enjoy real Korean BBQ will know what's up. read more

Stopped by here to grab a quick lunch. I brought the rice bowl with purple rice, galbi, butter kimchi, white radish, cucumber kimchi and spicy slaw. Let me talk about the negative first. The galbi was such a disappointment, the meat itself was ridiculously dry, like small pieces of cardboard. There was a few rare pieces that were actually tender and they were very flavorful. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the pieces of meat were way overcooked. Conversely, I thought the spicy slaw was amazing. It was the perfect combination of spiciness, crunchiness and creaminess. I was initially a bit taken back by how "mayo-y" it seemed, but it was absolutely delicious and it came in handy against the overcooked galbi. The other accompaniments were also quite good, I particularly liked the two kimchis, both were the perfect amount of sourness and spiciness. The portion was also quite big, I thought it was pretty good value for the price. Overall, I've debated whether to give Gogi Grill three or four stars, but ended up giving it four as the vast majority of the dish were pretty delicious, save for the protein. Perhaps I will try a different protein next time. read more

There is now an amazing lunch alternative to Honeygrow and I can't be more excited about it. They are still in soft opening mode, so there were some minor issues with their payment system, but I'm sure they'll figure it out soon. This is a fast casual place - think Asian Chipotle. You pick your base (bowl, salad, or burrito), your meat (short rib +$2 ftw!!!!), 4 base ingredients (sauteed onions duh), and a sauce. I was overwhelmed by the sheer variety of options and the amount of food they give you. SO MUCH GOOD FOOD!! You can sample things too, if you aren't sure what the ingredients are. I would recommend getting the sauce on the side as some flavors might not always go well together. It was fine for me but for my coworkers who have never had Korean food before, I wish they had sample combos (e.g a numbered menu of options) so that it makes it somewhat easier to order. (Thinking of Honeygrow combos, with option to customize.) If you're ordering for the first time, try to stick to the ingredients you know (like lettuce, corn, onions, etc.) and depending on how brave you feel, try mixing in new(er) ingredients like kimchi, radish, etc. Get the short rib!!! The line can get busy, so I would get here right at 12. Make sure to get the rolled ice cream and coffee after :) Angels is located inside the Gogi Grill restaurant. Brilliant if you ask me. Overall, a solid lunch spot - and a welcomed addition to the Hoboken neighborhood! 4.5 stars. read more

The food was decent, the service was mediocre, but I didn't really have high expectations for this restaurant. If you want fast Korean-ish food with large portions, then go here. If you want delicious, authentic Korean food, go somewhere else. The staff was fairly nice, but they blasted the music and were screaming along to the music where I could barely hear the person across from me. More annoying than something that would prevent me from going again. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. My delivery was supposed to arrive an hour ago. The person on the phone does know where the order is. When I called, I requested to talk to the manager. The manager never called back. I need my money back since the food isn't here. NEVER order online delivery. (I ordered through the website as I was unable to order through Yelp...). I also tried calling back multiple times to follow up. No voicemail option. They never answered. This is unacceptable. It is a SCAM for all I know. Ok fast forward an hour and a half later than the expected delivery time. The food came. But it was cold. And they didn't follow my instructions to put the free toppings on the side. So my seaweed was soggy. read more

I wanted to wait to make this review until after I reheated my leftovers and I am glad that I did because my meal honestly only got better. This place is a great fast casual restaurant that has a lot of foods that can introduce you to Korean flavors. Though it isn't exactly authentic, it offers a great selection of tasty food with relatively large portions. This was both me and my boyfriend's first time here so we decided to get a little bit of everything and double meat. We both had the Korean fried rice, bulgogi and added extra Galbi. We had different toppings and sauces but both of our combinations were great. I would highly recommend the green sauce because it compliments all of the heavy ingredients so nicely. My only complain with this place is the price. The portion size that came out after ordering extra meat was great but I felt like it was a portion that should have come out for the regular price. They make up for it with the rice and toppings but everyone knows that people want protein. Also a fried egg on top is an extra charge which is in some ways understandable but the price just doesn't seem reasonable If the price for extra meat or the standard bowls was decreased by just a dollar or 2, I would give this place 5 stars. read more
