    It's more modern inside. They do charge 3.4%, which you find out after your card is run through. They should let you know this ahead of your card being charged in my opinion. The Korean drama Beauty Inside is playing on the TV. Ordered kimbap and added grilled kimchi, tteokbokki, spicy chicken, soondubu and added grilled kimchi and rice cakes too and two barley teas. $60.96 The bachans are pickled radish, bean sprouts and kimchi. They are out of kimchi fries today. The pickled radish is good, fresh and crunchy. The bean sprouts not bad either. The kimchi is very tart and bitter and not my jam, it's well past the due date for me. K drama scenes on the one wall. The one in the middle is from Hwang Jini. I knew I had seen it before. I don't know any of the others at all. The Kimbap tastes okay, but the rice is a bit mushy today. The tteokbokki is flavorful, the rice cake is nice and chewy. The sauce is good. The spicy chicken is good, saucy and lots of flavor. The soondubu is nice spicy, tastes a bit different from what I am used to, but still good. Not a huge fan of the carrots in this version, but everything else is as expected. There was a chunk of the Napa end in my stew. The rice cake and the grilled kimchi is a must add to this stew. Service is good, food was out quick.

    Decent Korean food if you're craving a few SK classics but not the best option in the game. This place is extremely understaffed, resulting in longer than normal wait times and mediocre service. Our favorites were the kimchi fries, tteokbokki, and "maeun ddak". I especially loved the kimbap and spicy rice cakes as they reminded me of my time as an expat in Korea. I highly recommend this place for takeout if you're craving an authentic Korean meal that isn't too fancy.

    Food was absolutely amazing!! Every meat is incredulously juicy and flavorful. The kimbap was kimbapping for real!! I could tell they put love in every dish serving. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and felt like home. I wanted to study there, but it's always so busy ;) Service was amazing and fast. 11/10 would recommend to everyone looking for a cozy, delicious meal with delightful service.

    One of my granddaughter's favorite places so we stopped in for lunch. There were 7 of us which was more than they wanted in a group, but they let Sunday's anyway Food was great. Restaurant is very clean and inviting. We all enjoyed our lunch and would come again!

    Short ribs

    After coming several times during business hours only to find them closed, they were open on my most recent visit! Hallelujah!! You now order at the counter and they bring you the food. My sister and I ordered 2 kimbaps and 1 LA galbi. Pictured is the LA galbi. It was extremely thin and about 1/3 of the portion size they used to serve. This used to be my go to Korean restaurant but with the price increasing to $24 from $18 AND cutting the portion size so drastically, I will not be back. Also, the woman there visibly treated the Asian customers poorly in comparison to the happy, chipper customer service she provided to the older Caucasian customers. Steer clear unless you want to wait a long time, get shitty service, and be overcharged.

    NOLA, in my opinion, is still lacking in authentic Korean restaurants. I enjoy Korean food and I am always on the hunt for new Korean options. Gogi is a good option as they have most of the great Korean cuisine. Galbi (short ribs), kimchi stew (boiled kimchi, tofu, and veggies), bibimbap (rice with veggies, protein, and topped with an egg), and japchae (stir-fried glass noodles with veggies) are all popular Korean dishes. Gogi has all these choices and more. I have had the kimchi stew many times and it is very good. While the menu is limited and the service is lacking in friendliness it is still a good choice when in Metairie.

    Sundubu or soft tofu soup

    We really missed Gogi during the pandemic as they only allowed takeout. We really enjoy sundubu/soondubu at the restaurant so haven't been to Gogi for over a year. We called Gogi tonight and they were open for in-person dining! Yay! We always order soondubu and the flavor was just as rich as before :) I was a bit sad that it was not as hot (temperature) wise. The spiciness was on point. It is such a comforting dish that always makes be feel warm and fuzzy The spicy squid is another favorite. My mom loves this dish and we grew up ordering it at other Korean restaurants. Gogi's is always good. The SAUCE....my goodness is just awesome! We never let that go to waste! But it does look like the portion size shrunk a little and price went up. However we are happy to support local and small businesses, so we do not mind. I am sure many businesses are trying to balance finding a way to recover without increasing prices too much. Plus I'm sure sourcing ingredients is challenge and costs more for them now. Kimbap is basically a Korean rice roll haha and always good :) we generally do not get this but we haven't had Korean food in over a year, so we splurged We don't eat that much so have plenty of leftover of the soondubu and spicy squid to eat with rice for a few days. I will say, the only "sad" thing was the waitress helped us with boxing our leftovers and left a bit of sauce for the squid dish haha Support Gogi :) our waitress was a rock star for handling many tables by herself on a Friday night also and was still very pleasant

    topoki with cheese so good
    Nhu H.

    They are definitely taking COVID precautions here. Dine in is reservations only and they're only seating about 4 tables at one time. I think I have officially found my go to spot for Korean food in NOLA after searching for so long. First of all, the banchan is amazing here, especially the potato salad. Thank goodness they're unlimited portions. We had thirds. For apps we had the topoki with cheese and seafood pancake and for entrees we had the bibimbap with beef and tofu soup. Everything came out perfect, fast, flavorful, hot, crispy. I have zero complaints. Portions were big, prices were fair. I highly recommend this place.

    THREE CUCUMBERS? Really? This is the banchan for to go orders? Insulting
    Sheri C.

    Still only OK. I really want to support this business because it is Korean and they serve Korean food. however, I am struggling. First, THREE pieces of cucumbers in the banchan - THREE? That was insulting. There were hardly any bean sprouts, but the kimchi was good. I ordered the chicken bulgogi - basically bulgogi but chicken. It was OK flavor; mainly I was extremely disappointed with the banchan. Koreans know that banchan is really the main dish. I will probably not visit this restaurant again, unfortunately.

    I've been craving Korean food lately, specifically Korean fried chicken! So I look on doordash and ordered the kfc, bibimbap, tteokbokki, and a cheese corn this past Sunday 01/30. The food was delivered within an hour, lukewarm/coldish but that's not the restaurant's fault necessarily. ANYWAYS, uh the food was bad. It wasn't anything like what other yelpers had described? Maybe it's better dine in? I thought it was bland and did not remind me of any sort of Korean flavors that I had previously in other cities. Also they didn't have the kfc :( The one thing I found so upsetting was the prices!! Like the cheese corn was a smaller take out container, filled less than 1/2 the way and it was $6. I was joking with my partner that each bite he took was like 75 cents since in total it was a teeny amount of corn. The bibimbap was $18 and very sparse in meat... The other items were not memorable. Yeah this place is a no go. The portions are comically tiny and it's bland.

    Fried chicken and Korean dumplings
    Immanuel L.

    I seen this place a few times driving around Metairie. The sign is big and calls for attention, so I finally decided to try since I love Asian food so much and haven't had Korean food since I lived back in California. The place is pretty authentic and I was not expecting that, even though it gives out like fast food setting vibes. I like the art on the wall. The service was decently quick. I like their appetizer king mandu dumpling and the chicken wings. What I did not like was the Korean dumplings as they were very mushy on the inside. The Glass Noodles were not good either they were over cooked and took away from the experience. The Spicy Pork Bulgogi was not spicy at all and was not that great of a quality pork meat. I would try again, just to try out the beef bulgogi abs other plates and hope that it was just a bad plate.

    The interior!
    Keith H.

    Gogi has become my favorite Korean restaurant anywhere. I almost always stop by when I go to the Greater New Orleans area to get my fix of fine Korean dishes. The interior is clean and contemporary, and K-Pop videos are always playing on the big screen TVs. I think the latter is one of my favorite parts of the ambiance. The new menu comes with pictures in addition to descriptions, which is really helpful to those unfamiliar with Korean cuisine. It should be noted that when one orders a meal, one gets a number of small plates of tasty appetizers in advance of the main course. These include their wonderful kimchee, and usually hot pickles, marinated daikon radishes, tofu, etc. These are one of my favorite parts of any meal! What does one order though? This is still an area I'm exploring! The easiest and most approachable dishes is the Bibimbap. This is essentially rice and toppings served in a extremely hot stoneware bowl, so that it sizzles when it comes to your table. The various toppings can be customized or you can order a classic combination of flavors. This is a great meal by itself. Katsu is another favorite. This is a breaded and fried pork or chicken cutlet, which is then sliced into strips and served with rice and sauce on the side. Very approachable for the timid eater! Then there are the Bulgogis, these are traditional Korean BBQ meats. Very tender and flavorful! The Korean-style BBQ ribs are also great, cut very differently from western ribs. Gogi is very easy to find, and just a short distance from I-10. There is ample parking to the rear of the restaurant, so just enter the drive and go behind the building. Service is always quick and friendly, and they are glad to explain menu choices to the uninitiated. So go give Gogi a try, and enjoy some Korean cuisine!

    Spicy rice cakes
    Chandler D.

    Be sure to GO (GI)ve them a try. Very tasty, great portion sizes, and fair prices. Be sure to call before going, hours vary. What we got: Kimbap: Korean sushi made with a sweeter rice- very refreshing Thuk Poki: Spicy Rice Cakes- by far my favorite dish. The flavor starts sweet then ends with a kick! Ojinguh Bokkeum: Spicy Squid- I loved the taste and the stir fried vegetables in the spicy sauce but the squid was tough Soon Dubu: Soft Tofu Soup- very savory soup but did not find it very spicy. Texture warning- has the consistency of a soft runny egg. Warms your soul!! Quick and flavorful Korean food! #noladelights

The wife and I both agreed - this place is at the top of our list. This restaurant has so many different tastes to choose from and our waiter was friendly, helpful and engaging. We will never again visit New Orleans, without a trip to this restaurant. There are hundreds of UNBELIEVABLY GREAT RESTAURANTS in the New Orleans area - But this is the ONLY AYCE Korean Barbecue that we could find. So, if you need to take a break from Poboys, Cheeseburgers, Jambalaya, Creole and Italian - GO HERE - Betcha won't visit just once!

Immediately noticed the pretty chandeliers and cleanliness of the restaurant. While waiting the waiter was kind enough to answer a few questions for us of how the ordering process works. We were promptly seated as soon as they opened. They turned on the warmer at our table and we placed our beverage orders. They explained how we would order from the tablet which was very easy. You order and within a few short minutes it is delivered to your table. We tried a little bit of everything and left happy and stuffed! Please come hungry because you will want to try everything. It is great to have a new restaurant on the Westbank with fresh delicious food and the service is top notch! We will be back soon!!

The restaurant sets off cute date or special event night vibes with its trendy, inviting atmosphere. I love how the bar and main dining area are separated- you can either dine at the tables or go next door to hang out for drinks. We stopped by for a late lunch and were greeted warmly by our sweet waitress Mikayla. She was very helpful and patient with any questions we had with items on the menu. Service was stellar A+++ !!! Now onto the incredible FOOD: Bo Ne - filet mignon steak cubes & eggs (10/10): When an entree comes out sizzling & the aroma wakes you up- you know it has to be AMAZINGLY FLAVORFUL & FANTASTIC! Spread the butter & pate on the toasted bread, then use it to soak up all the INCREDIBLE flavor explosion from the sizzling steak & eggs!!! *VOILA chef's kiss* (side note: I grew up in Houston & had Bo Ne fairly regularly & I honestly think Ba Chi elevates this dish to another realm!!!) Curry clams & fries (10/10): I was worried I wouldn't like it because I wanted mussels, which were unavailable. To my surprise, this dish was another great hit !!! The yellow curry flavors were unique - a bit of heat & spice but not overwhelming. Next time, I would ask for the fries to be served on the side so that they stay crispy! We really wanted to slurp down a gallon of the curry- it really was THAT good! Pro tip: get a side of vermicelli noodles (or rice), mix it with the leftover curry & proceed to gobble it all up if you have room left in your tummy! Spicy lemongrass chicken wings (8/10): These were good-sized wings that packed a little punch with the spice! We enjoyed the spicy lemongrass flavor of the crispy wings (be aware that not everyone has a palate for lemongrass- they have other flavors available for those less adventurous eaters). DRINK: Dragon Slay-Her: what a gorgeous & beautiful drink - the dragon fruit margarita was a specialty cocktail I've never had before and I LOVED IT !!! (10/10) Their espresso martini with ube foam is another popular cocktail & I look forward to trying it on my next visit! TL; DR: If you're wanting to FIRE UP and add some PIZAZZ & all that jazz to your fabulous foodie life, then make lunch/dinner/drink plans for Ba Chi! You'll have the best dining experience there with quality food and top notch service! We LOVEDDD & enjoyed our dining experience today!
