Bulgogi Hot Stone Pot Bibimbab (Beef)

Food was very disappointing Barely any meat on the dish. Contacteduber eats and they refuse refund

Bulgogi Bento
Carlisha C.

I LOVE Korean food so I was looking forward to the bulgogi bento box. The bulgogi dry unless it was at the bottom. It tasted like sliced dry meat that was added to sugar water. Not like any bulgogi I've ever tasted. FLAVORLESS!! The calamari was great. The largest I've ever had fried but no flavor to it. The tartar sauce packages were awful. Although I'm sure they weren't old, they sure tasted like it. Almost like a watered down tarter. I definitely won't order from them again! I'm giving it a two because of portion sizes; if not for that it would be 0.

Solid KBBQ spot! Food is excellent. Service depends on who you get. Overall, only place we go to for Korean BBQ.

Bulgogi
Demetrius B.

A very good Korean BBQ experience. We definitely over-ordered for two people. We got two meats to grill + japchae as an appetizer, and the portions were abundant. Nothing wrong with having leftovers, though... The BBQ-ing experience was quick, easy and neat. The bulgogi was the definite star, and the banchan sides + sauces took it to even greater heights. We probably could have done without the marinated short rib. The bone-in composition was less-preferred in hindsight. But if you like the dish in general, you'll like GOGI's version. The japchae was solid. The miso soup with tofu wasn't much to discuss. The steamed egg was good and enhanced the other meats when combined. Special shout out to our server who answered our questions and kindly gave my wife a Tempura Ice Cream after we mentioned that it was my wife's birthday. That was very unexpected but appreciated. And by the way, that fried ice cream was pretty darn good and substantial in its own right.

Combo menu

Food is delicious. I've been here twice. All of the extras taste so fresh. Love it here! The restaurant is upbeat with K-pop music videos and music. Service was extremely attentive. Constantly coming by to ask if we would like the grill changed out or needed anything else. Combo A is $80 and was a little too much for 2 people but we pushed through. Could definitely be eaten by 3.

COMBO A
Mel F.

just went here for the first time for a friends birthday. i've never been to kbq but been wanting to go since i love korean food and go to other korean restaurants. the food was amazing, we got combo A since it sounded the best. It was way enough to share between 4 people and the cost was pretty good. it was about $85 total. we also got the fried dumplings and they were amazing. next time i go i want to try the bulgogi and maybe fried rice but i really like everything i had. the service was great. they weren't too busy when we can so the atmosphere was calm and nice to where i could peacefully eat and enjoy myself. our burner kept going off so the waiter had to keep coming over and helping so we felt bad but he was very apologetic and didn't mind helping. he also kept asking if we wanted anything else to eat so that was nice. definitely can't wait to come back.

Guys I finally tried the kbbq anc it was lovely. I stopped for lunch during a weekday so it wasnt too busy (it gets HELLA packed Friday nights my god) and did the bbq by myself. They had no issue with that and didn't require a minimum order. I got the bulgogi and the galbi and just yes. Great place, decent banchan and chill staff - definitely stop by!

Me and my friends went here for Restaurant Week. Me and my boyfriend have never had Korean BBQ before so we were pretty excited but our friends who went with have been there numerous times. They were the experts! The staff was a great, very welcoming and kind. We ordered the Fried Dumplings as our appetizer and it was crispy and had great flavor! The star of the show was the Beef Bulgogi, had amazing flavor and giving my friend the props he grilled it to perfection - it was so tender! The banchan sides were also amazing sidekicks, the kimchi and pickled radish. Can't wait to come here again! Great service, very kind staff!

Looks and tasted like tteokbokki
Saphace A.

Everyone knows that the Midwest ain't really the place to get Korean BBQ. But it satisfies when you're not in LA. My friend and I really wanted to check this place out. She had never eaten Korean BBQ. On a Friday night at 6:30, the parking lot was just about full! Not many spots left when I drove in. Regardless, it wasn't super busy inside. We got seated right away. And as we sat past 8, the place kinda cleared out. We ordered soju, since she had never had it. Always a solid choice! Pricey though! At a whopping $14, I could've gotten this for almost half the price at the Korean grocery store just down the street. We tried a couple different apps. They were all labeled to accommodate for people new to Korean food. But one of the dishes literally looked and tasted like tteokbokki but with a lot more scallions. We also got fried dumplings which were also delicious! We chose Combo C, since many reviews said it was much more flavorful than the other options. I was impressed! All the meats were very well-marinated! I can't remember the 3 types of meat we got, but it was all really good! Between the two of us, it was pretty hard to finish the food. We each got rice, and they also gave us a steamed egg and something that looked like tofu soup. I think the food would be good to share between 3-4 people ideally. And of course, dependent on appetite. If you go to LA, you can find a better deal there. You can find Combos that are all you can eat! It's pricier but you can try many more options than the Combos here at GOGI. Cooking the meat yourself was also a plus. It made for a fun experience! The only issue was that our server didn't come around enough to change the metal thing that we were grilling on. It got pretty charred before we got it changed. But they could be understaffed, so I get it. I took the extra raw meat home and popped it in the freezer. Gonna eat it another time!

Contrary to what is posted on their website, they do not do reservations for any size groups, regardless of the night of the week.

Their website says they offer gluten-free options and that you can call to make large group reservations. I called and was told they have no gluten free options and they do not accept reservations, regardless of the size of the group. We were hoping to make a Thursday evening reservation for 11 people. They should update their website if they aren't going to offer gluten-free options or except reservations.

What we ordered: Option B for the meats (steaks etc) Kimchi pancake Banchan (sides that come with meat): -Korean cucumbers -daikon (pickled radish) -boiled egg (one for table / small) -soup of the day (one for table / small) -kimchi -fish cake -rice (one pp) -lettuce The meat was great for option B the steak was phenomenal!! The short rib was so good too only small issue was the short rib was difficult to cook / cut since they didn't cut it into smaller portions. The sides were ok but I wish they gave ssam mu, bean sprouts, black beans etc. They have soju too! Clean cute place with good service.

Food is good but maybe the worst service possible. Tried it twice and still couldn't manage to get waters under 30 minutes.

A Columbus staple, GOGI serves savory, well-seasoned meats at an impeccable consistency. My favorite Korean restaurant in Columbus.

Ask the Community - GOGI Korean BBQ

Is the restaurant all you can eat?

No.

Why do they advertise on their website that they have gluten free options but the employees tell me they don't offer anything gluten free?

Actually there are many gluten free options. Anything that is not marinated is gluten free. Combo A and combo B are both entirely gluten free options.

I seen you can't reserve a table on weekends but it was posted last yr, is it still the same?

When we visited you could not make reservations

Is the meat Halal?

No, they do not have halal meat. Would be great to offer

Are there any gluten free options?

Contrary to what is posted on their website, they do not. I asked what their gluten free options are and was told "nothing on the menu is gluten free".

Can you make a reservation?

Yes. Reservations are available on weekdays. Unfortunately, we cannot reserve tables on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

What are their hours on Sunday?

At their location now. I can confirm that it is 11:30am-12am. They stop taking food orders at 11:15 pm.

Solid 3.5 Pretzels…read more&cheese- 4.5/5 crispy soft, perfect salt and butter ratio perfect. Sauces * G daddy- good * Kurt- good, but very watery * Hot grandpa- good not spicy at all, maybe a little twang. Bowl- grits, greens, brisket, jalepeno, cornbread croutons -4/5 portions could have been a little bit bigger. Highlighted the greens being very good. Secondary no greens and green beans are both made with pork. Wings (extra dry rub seasoning)- 3/5 cooked good, but we requested well done. Flavor just okay. Burnt ends- 2/5 not burnt at all. Very fatty chewy. Used to crispy caramelized burnt ends, these were just Ends.. Onion rings/fries- 4/5 nothing crazy meets the need Hush puppies- 4/5 good Cole slaw 3/5 Texas Toast 4/5 Manhattan 3/5 Overall a nice local spot for barbecue. Not slap ya mama good.. but the casual environment -dog friendly patio with games & good service definitely makes it worth returning to for a quick bite or Night out with family.
