Good korean bbq option in the south metro. Parking lot is busy with multiple business in the area so be patient. Staff and service were excellent. Our server Dawson was very polite and attentive. The inside is very clean and has good vibes and decor. Order: combo 2 meat platter. Included LA kalbi, thin cut bulgogi and marinated pork. Both beef cuts were not the premier quality with a lot of chewy fatty pieces. Good marinate on the kalbi. The pork was the star of the platter. We chose the kimchi stew as the side dish. Great flavor and big chunks of pork that added great texture and taste. All the little side dishes were delicious. The highlights were the korean style potato salad, radish kimchi and marinated soy radishes. Yum. So delicious. All are refilled throughout the meal so enjoy as much as you want. The real hidden gem was the calamari stir fry. Great flavor, great textures. This is a must order. Overall: Is it LA or Chicago quality...no, but really good for Minnesota and very enjoyable. Great service, good food and clean decor make this a korean bbq must if you live in the twin cities. read more

I am already planning my second visit. This place was so good and beyond expectations. APPLAUSE. Banchan - I am picky with my kimchi, and this kimchi passed. It was more on the umami side and less sour. Pajeon green onion pancake - great shareable size. It was so good that phone did not eat first. I liked the ratio of the batter and green onion, and the sauce added a nice spicy element. Kimbap - ordered with beef. I like that I didn't feel sesame oil. It is also a great shareable. Soon dubu jjigae was tasty! It was more like chicken broth with a little spice (not overwhelming) really great intro into Korean stews for my unseasoned friends. For the grill, the beef bulgogi and chicken bulgogi were marinated well. The full plate felt plentiful - very big cuts. And she comes with allllll the fixings. I don't think we needed to ask our server for a thing. Bingsu was the perfect dessert. Refreshing, creamy, crunchy, chewy, and CUTE. Idk why we got the special bowl, presentation was out of this world. Everything was so fresh - lettuce, jalapeños, garlic, fruit, etc. And the table actually felt spacious with all this food?? SO easy to make and update reservations online. The staff was chill and so hard working. read more

I sometimes find myself in a quandary in rating a restaurant of a genre which leaves me with no desire to ever return to this or any similar type establishment. If you like so called Korean BBQ you probably would like GoGi Korean BBQ. I grew up in Texas and this ain't what we called BBQ partner nor is it what is called BBQ in the Southern United States - but so what. The concept is that you order quantities of meat which is brought to your table raw and which you cook on a gas fired grill in the middle of the table. You are provided with small side dishes of unidentified pickled weird stuff to eat with your meat. Plus you can order other sides such as fried rice (not good compared to Chinese take out) etc. We ordered combos which included sliced pork and beef. They have chicken and seafood as well but given the difficulty in actually cooking your food on the little inadequate grill I would avoid the chicken - because half raw chicken can make you really, really sick. I have tried to cut back on the amount of red meat I eat regularly and I must have eaten as much red meat in a meal here as I eat in a week. I probably ate more meat than the typical North Korean eats in a year or maybe a lifetime. I was with a group and we ordered lots of sides and apps all of which were mediocre. Service was good. Ambience was industrial, uncomfortable, and noisy. Reminded me of a school cafeteria. Location is right off busy highway 13 and you can look out the front window past the pickups in the parking lot and watch the traffic speed by. Very romantic. Most of our party of 7 felt jangled by the experience but some liked it. For myself - no more Korean BBQ - ever. PS. They automatically add an 18% tip at least for larger groups but the tablet which they use for card payments asks you how much you want to tip so be careful or you may end up tipping twice without being aware. Also there is a surcharge for cards as is now common read more

Great classic Korean bbq. Casual environment, good for family or friends. Friendly service

This was my first time at a Korean BBQ place and I loved it. I saw a ad online with their wings so thats why I went. They had a late night happy hour and had a lot of items i wanted to try with good pricing. Walked in and was seated quickly on a Saturday night. Very clean restaurant, had a modern look to it. Staff was very friendly and energetic for late night. They helped out a lot on what to get. Got a few orders of wings and a few things to cook at the table. My date had been to a place similar to this so I let her do her thing on the grill. Wings were pretty good and came out quick. It was a lot of food but it was good and at a good price and we took home leftovers. Great experience for my first time and I'll for sure go back! read more

I got the Chicken Dolsot Bibimbap (4/5), which was pretty good! The rice along the bottom was nice and crunchy. However, there was not too much chicken in it. With your meal, you also get a lot of different mini sides for free, such as kimchi. The service was quick and good (4/5); our waiter was very friendly and helpful! The interior of the restaurant is very clean and nice (4/5). read more

I really enjoy Korean BBQ and had high hopes but this kind of fell flat. I ordered 1/2 servings of Dak Bulgogi and LA Galbi, a chicken dish. The Bulgogi was good but under sauced. The beef was tender and the flavor good, I would have liked more sauce. The Galbi was ok. The chicken thighs were nicely cooked but lacking in flavor -- any flavor. A little Hoisin helped so I could finish it. Both dishes came with a big scoop of sticky rice and some odd little box of four things, I have no idea what they were. The scoop looked like mashed potatoes and kind of tasted like it. It was cold and had some flecks in it. One little thing was spicy onions, another marinated squash, and I haven't a clue what the thing in the bottom right corner was. It reminded me of an Indian restaurant in London where little dishes were brought to our table and when I asked what they were he replied, "Pickle." So maybe it's like that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In any event I don't think I'll be back. read more

Plenty of parking at this establishment. Kind of an awkward table layout for a large party, so this is best in groups of 6 or less I would recommend. Area was clean including the tabletop and grill. All items I ordered on the menu met my satisfaction. Be sure to ask for a fork if you don't utilize chopsticks. Our server was attentive and quick to act. As always, minus one star due to credit card processing fee, but I would recommend this spot. The food was reasonably priced except the shrimp (3 for $16? c'mon man, IDC if they are jumbo) read more

The Food was exactly what so many Posts have already described! So not much else to add. There was 3 of us, we had a Combo Pork ,Short rib, 8/9 Pickle Sides, condiments! The Waiter actually helped cook the Protein, rather than Name every single item, it was very good, a Fun experience, took about 2 hours from start to finish! We did not have Cocktails, just a Beer! The total Bill was $113/,plus a 20% Tip! We thought it was an Excellent experience, and extremely reasonable considering the amount of food and service! It's a 5! I'm not sure I'd have it as a on going dinner... but definitely would Highly recommended the Experience! Well Done!! read more

We arrived for a late night dinner and were greeted promptly and warmly. The restaurant was immaculately clean with two big screens showing various cooking shows as we walked in. For a late night dinner the restaurant had other patrons which was a good sign given that it's such a new enterprise. Our server was incredibly attentive and warmly welcoming (ask for Chanel) and kept our drinks topped and our bonchon flowing without us even having to ask. We ordered the combo number two and found it was plenty of food for three people- in fact, we had plenty of leftovers! The food arrived promptly, and the grill was at a perfect temperature to cook evenly and regularly for quite a long time before it got the typical coating from use. I was pleasantly surprised that it was able to cook our meat so evenly for so long without needing to be changed. I imagine they are various qualities of girls and Gogi had good ones! The combo comes with the choice of soup for the table and we got the egg soup which is as beautiful egg puff soufflé that was delicious. Chanel allowed us to change out the pork option in the combo which was really nice and so we got beef bulgogi instead of the pork bulgogi. We also got a side of dry rub chicken wings, which were perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. A little bit more seasoning would've been nice but overall an 8 out of 10. Heads up that their grand opening is next week and there are a ton of prizes and discounts that are worth taking advantage of. Hit up their social media for more info. I highly recommend this welcoming and delicious experience. read more

Made the trek down to Savage to visit a friend and have lunch at Gogi as we were both craving Korean BBQ. We got there a little after 11, their first customers. Sat down and had a look at the menu to order. We ended up choosing the Combo 2 which comes with Galbi, pork bulgogi and brisket and added half an order of pork belly. With the combo order you have the choice of soup or steamed egg. We went with the egg, which was a great choice. Eggs were fluffy and seasoned nicely. As for side dishes, the kimchi was good and the fish cakes, not a fan of the lettuce kimchi as it still and a gritty taste to it. Which they had some more side dish options. Here comes the food! They asked if we needed help grilling, which is nice to ask for those who have not done Korean BBQ before. We said thanks but we got this! They did start it up for us initially with the beef fat to grease the grill and then we were off to eating. Everything was so good, Bulgogi and galbi were marinated well. The sauces provided paired well. I liked dipping into the sesame first and then finish with the wasabi salt. Don't be afraid to ask for more side dishes and I also needed a bit of rice so ordered that, know that's an extra charge. We ended the email with the Bingsu. A bit different version than what I was used to, more ice cream than shaved ice. The shaved ice wasn't as smooth/creamy since the condensed milk was put on top vs. in a way it would mix with the ice. Staff was quick and super nice. I'd come back again if I was in the area. read more

I recently had my first Korean BBQ experience and I loved every part of it! When we first arrive the staff greeted us promptly and brought our large group to our tables. The decor was very pretty and had a great photo backdrop at the front door. My friends were more familiar with all the food so they did the ordering and I just enjoyed! It was so cool to be able to cook your meat right at the table and we got a lot of laughs out of it cause we were not great with keeping an eye on it so the staff was really good at keeping an eye on us! Cause we def needed it! All the food was so good and I will def come back! This is a great space for date night or even with the family! read more

Being that it is located in Savage is nice. Savage needs more Korean bbq places or restaurant. It is not the best, but it is okay for being far out in the suburb. The portion of the combo was alright. I think it is pretty pricy for the portion. The sides were alright as well. The kimchi is water down a lot, but the other sides were good. I was kind of disappointed in the octopus and pork belly dish because it didn't have a lot of octopus or pork belly. It is too expensive for a portion that small. The egg dish was good, it was salted well not too salty like other places. The tuna kimbap was good as always, just always a lot of rice. The dessert was a hit for my friends. It was so good they had to make it at home. The services were good, the server actually cook our food to start with. The ambiance was good, it had a lot of family that came to the restaurant. read more

This is the place to go to for either Korean BBQ or Hotpot. Wide array of items on the menu, beer/cocktail/sake/soju selection to complement the food. Banchan on the table with unlimited refill. Option for server to cook for you (no extra charge). Their today's special is also worthy for an additional meal to add to your bbq or hotpot. Could not ask for a better deal. read more

I will preface this review by saying that I am Korean and also grew up in Los Angeles / Orange County which has some of the best korean food in the US. Is this place comparable to CA kbbq places? Obviously not but for being in Minneapolis I was pleasantly surprised. Nice restaurant, staff are very attentive, and plenty of parking. I had mixed feelings with the Banchan. Some were spot on in flavor and some tasted a bit watered down. The Deonjang jjigae was also a little watered down and could have used a bit more doenjang. The steamed egg was perfect and portion size was nearly double most other places. We ordered the samgyupsal, chadolbaegi, and jumulleok which all were very good. Portions were large. Dipping sauces were on point. Loved that they gave lettuce and ssamjang. Right now this has quickly moved up to my favorite kbbq spot in the twin cities. Sucks because it is a bit of a drive for me but if you are close by, definitely check them out. This is probably the closest thing to CA level KBBQ spot in MSP area. read more

A few friends and I were looking for a good spot to hit before planning our trip to Japan this fall. GoGi although a Korean BBQ joint, seemed like a great option as it's fairly new and we love KBBQ joints. The server was amazing, she helped us cook our meat, was quick with drinks and recommendations as well. We started with the calamari tempura and the GoGi dry rub wings. These were both delicious, the calamari was crispy and flaky on the outside and juicy on the inside. The dry rub wings were spicy and cooked to perfection. The platter of meat was delectable, with meats ranging from beef short rib to marinated pork and pork belly. We were drowning in the umami tsunami all night. Our waitress actually helped us cook and cut the meat unlike other KBBQ spots. Overall I was incredibly satisfied and would go back in a heartbeat. read more

The dining area was pretty clean. Our server is an MVP! She helped us grill our food and was a total pro. Tried the samgyeopsal (pork belly) and a beef cut that's not even on the menu yet -- both were solid. Side dishes? Flavorful and were refill-worthy. It's not California-level Korean BBQ, but it's easily one of the best Asian spots we've tried in the state so far. Come hungry, leave smelling like BBQ. read more

I am glad one opened nearby because they have good prices and their combo deals definitely save money. Everything we ate was delicious. Our waiter was incredibly kind and enjoyable.

I will return time and time again. read more

Usually for places like Korean bbq, the ones in the metro will always be superior to the Suburban areas. And the suburbs wouldn't have anything like this so I was excited to try! We went mid week, Wednesday evening for dinner. It was dead. But it was very spacious and clean. I'm sure it wasn't busy because it was a Wednesday and I've seen them packed on weekends. After we got seated... 2 other couples and a group came in. This place is not an all you can eat KBBQ. It's ala carte but there are combos on the menu. I liked everything they offered. The downside of just going in with two people is that obviously we can't eat much. And we can't order a variety. But what we ordered, it was the perfect portion and delicious! I can't wait to go back with family and or a bigger group next time to try more things! Half of the banchan (Korean side dishes) that are complimentary were yummy and fresh. The rest seem old and we did see a few wilted sides! I was scared that would make me sick. None the less, we'll be back with friends and family to have kbbq night. read more

I met up with a friend for dinner. After spending time to figure out what's good nearby we went to try out the new korean bbq restaurant. This restaurant is ala carte, there's even an attendant that will cook for you. They also offer appetizers, entrees, and hot pot. We ordered the combo meat mixture for the korean bbq. They will bring out the side dishes, lettuce, and 3 sauces. Restaurant is a good size, has about 20 tables. Full bar and big parking lot in the front. Our server was attentive and helpful. Would recommend to check this place out. read more

Cute place inside! They have a lot of options on their menu, they have something for everyone. Everything we had was really good! We started with the fried dumplings, very delicious. We got a couple main dishes, and some of the bbq options. The kimchi fried rice was amazing! I would come back for this alone. Other dishes we got were the sweet and sour chicken and the chicken katsu. Everyone loved their meals. For the bbq at the table, we got the spicy chicken and the bbq beef, both were great! It was fun to have them cook it at the table for you. I got some green tea ice cream for dessert and it was perfect! We had such a great time here, can't wait to come back and try more of their things! read more

These guys are great my server David when I asked what you recommended gave me a couple different options from a stone bowl of bin bap to a half order of pork belly and beef short rib. The Bonchon that you get which is sides is awesome. Very flavorful and spicy. They cook it right at table side to your liking smells great food. It was very hot and tasteful if you've been looking for a new Korean barbecue place in South Metro stop in ask for David. read more

This place was great. Good quality cuts. It's not an AYCE which is the more common go to for KBBQ so keep that in mind but for the quality, service and ambiance/seating it was worth it! The kimchi was actually fantastic sometimes i don't care for the kimchi when eating out but this had a good balance and was just tangy enough. All the banchans were delicious. I would ask that they get a different brand makgeolli though the one we had wasn't my fav for some reason or maybe I'm partial to the plastic bottle old school one (should have stuck to soju-LOL) loved it thanks!! read more

You need to order at least 3 half or 1 full and 1 half portions for the KBBQ We've had the beef bulgogi, wang kalbi (which is the recommended dish from the chef), spicy pork bulgogi, and japchae. The food that we ordered all tasted amazing! The banchan (side dish) also tasted great! The server was super nice and the food comes out fast. They change the grill plate when it started to have burn. Great experience and will definitely come back again! Another thing that worth mentioning is that they have exhaust on the side of the grill to suck all the smoke. I was leaving my coat in the car as I dont want it to stink after the meal but was very pleasantly surprise to find that none of my clothes or hair has any smoky smell read more

I'm exploring Korean food and today's journey included jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles.) The portion size was gigantic. With leftovers, I had two extra meals. Initially, I found the meal bland but it's a very popular food with children I understand so non-spicy should be expected. After my initial disappointment at the flavor, I found it quite delicious when I had some for breakfast and then lunch. Again, gigantic portions. The banchan offerings ranged from kimchi to cold mashed potatoes. We need to watch some YouTube videos to try the pork belly grilling but are eager to try. read more
