    Veggie Fried Rice
    Darla M.

    We went here late night around 9PM to try it out because it had good reviews and now we know why. The food was absolutely delicious. My husband got the bulgogi entree and I asked for the japchae with tofu. We also got an order of veggie fried rice and it's a dang good fried rice. The owner was very nice and patient while we looked at the menu and the place itself was cute and clean. Definitely recommend!

    The bibimbap was ok, not the best I had, there was too much sprout in the dish, and didn't have enough beef. But the fried chicken were great, very good flavor and crispy.

    Tofu bibimbap - delicious, A+

    I've been here a few times and have always enjoyed coming here when I need something to eat thats fast casual but not completely fast food. After climbing on Saturday night, I was hungry and wanted some soup. My favorite Korean soup is any kind of soondubu, which is a tofu soup. I love tofu, grew up eating it and its a staple in my diet. I came in here around 9pm and the owner (ahjussi- means middle ages man or boss) is always very nice to me. I ordered the seafood tofu soup, mild, no spice. He rang me up and my order came to a little over $15 with tax and with tip, was under $20 for me. You get a little buzzer that lights up when your food is ready. Ahjussi was nice and brought me my soup as it was very hot and steaming. I sat in front of one of the TVs and happily watched K pop videos while having my very hot and satisfying tofu soup. Even though I ordered it mild, its still a little spicy so be prepared for that. I can only handle mild. There were a few mussels in it, some squid and a nice plump shrimp. Soondobu was a little smaller than at other places but I didnt mind. It also comes with white rice (not purple) and the egg is already in the tofu soup. Also, note, no banchan (side dishes) is served but remember this is fast casual Korean. If you want an authentic Korean food experience, go to a tradition tofu soup house like The Stone Korean Tofu House in Mesa. My experience at GOGI made me want to take a trip to South Korea - I have always wanted to visit! Overall, I love this place and also know you're supporting local too. Ill be back again and again!

    We went to this place in off peak, and the food came out quick. I ordered the original Korean fried chicken, my wife ordered the stone pot rice, and my son ordered the dumplings with noodles. All tasted great and very Korean style. Highly recommended. The server/owner was very nice and friendly.

    Not from the Arizona area, but still a professional when it comes to eating good Korean food! I was really glad that the area had something so convenient for me to enjoy, along with the flavor being there! I thoroughly enjoyed this family's restaurant, I felt that the food was not oily and relatively well portioned for the price. The restaurant is clean, there is lots of seating, the menu is straightforward. This is just a personal preference, but I was a little bit sad that they didn't have any Korean sides. I would have really enjoyed some kimchi or even some radish has an optional side.

    Spicy Pork Bulgogi Hot Stone Bibimbap
    Aron J.

    A quick craving for bibimbap led me here. It's a self seating, order at the front restaurant. I orders the spicy pork bibimbap in a hot stone. Have no complaints on the food it was good. All parts of the bowl mixed well and was very balanced. Pork was not spicy but that is fine as they give you a bottle of sauce to adjust the heat to your liking.

    This was my first time visiting Arizona, and I'm so glad I trusted my gut and gave this place a try! The portions were huge, easily enough to share among 3-4 people. My partner and I really enjoyed our meals, and everything was just as delicious as it looked. The dining area was clean, and the customer service was excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and never made us feel rushed. I would definitely come back the next time I'm in Arizona!

    안녕하세요, This is a great place to check out Korean dishes without being yelled at by an 아줌마. This location has some new dishes and some spicy options. It is located in a plaza right next to Snowtime (convenient for dessert). The owners and staff are friendly and dishes arrive hot and freshly made. I love the many options of noodles, rice or soups/stews. If you like seafood you have to try the seafood pancake The dishes are a fusion of korean dishes with American palates which makes the food more appealing for those who may be overwhelmed by trying new dishes they have seen on a K-drama or in a K-pop video. Great fried chicken!They also have great tradional style dishes of gogi=meat or bap=cooked rice, chigae=stew, etc. I had their spicy pork with udon noodles which is usually a soup but came as a stew. It came in a flavorful gochujang sauce. It was a bit spicy tempered by a sweetness. As a Korean I can taste that recipes are a bit sweeter than traditional dishes, but that is not a bad thing. The dining area is relatively quiet so you can carry on conversations or enjoy some of the K-pop hits. The prices are fair and the serving sizes are sufficient. This is a friendly place to expand your palate and branch out to try some flavorful options. 잘 먹겠습니다!

    Vegetable yakisoba noodle with chicken and shrimp
    Haneen O.

    Met up with some folks for dinner here on a Friday evening. I don't find myself in this part of town often but it seemed fairly happening. This spot wasn't too busy when we arrived which was good. I ordered the veggie yakisoba and the protein choices were chicken or shrimp. I asked if I could get tofu instead since I prefer that. We grabbed a table outside and waited for our food. We were given buzzers to notify us when our dishes were ready. I grabbed our food from inside and noticed that mine had both chicken and shrimp in it, but I decided it was fine and ate my bowl. I liked it, I added some chili sauce since it was in the sweet side. Not too many shrimp pieces but there was enough chicken and veggies. I also tried the kimchi fries which were good. Service was friendly and our table enjoyed their food. I'd come back and try some different dishes if I'm in the area.

    Ramen regular flavor with pork dumplings
    Yu W.

    The fried chicken was an easy 10/10--crispy, juicy, and packed with rich garlic flavor. The thick sauce complemented the chicken perfectly, and the portion size was huge, making it well worth the price. The restaurant itself was clean, conveniently located, and had a welcoming atmosphere. The service was excellent--the server was always friendly. However, the ramen was just alright. It tasted almost identical to Shin Ramen straight out of the package. Don't get me wrong, I love Shin Ramen, but if that's what I wanted, I would've just made it at home. If you're coming here, I'd definitely recommend the fried chicken, but maybe skip the ramen.

    Galbi Bento Box
    Elliot S.

    I honestly love this place. I usually order the Galbi or Bulgogi Bento Box, both amazing. The sweet and salty combo of their meat marinade is delicious. The service is always great, it's the same guy working the counter every time I go in and he's really friendly. I highly recommend this place, it has a very clean atmosphere and always hits the spot.

    Beef Bibimbap!! I can wear this all day!!! So flavorful.. SO AUTHENTIC!!!!

    This review is strictly for the food as I ordered through Uber Eats. I didn't step food into the…read moreresturant or have interaction with the employees. I like that they use purple rice for all the sushi here, it's healthy and also adds a bit to the flavor. Fish is fresh and portion sizes are generous - I mean that in a way that the rolls and sushi fill you up quite quickly without the rolls being too large in size. The balance between fish and rice is a solid ratio, although I'll say that everything started to taste quiet similar after a while and I couldn't really differentiate between the different rolls. Anyways, overall a solid sushi spot in Scottsdale, AZ. Mt Fuji Roll- Love that they top with raw scallop! Yellowtail Carpaccio - Fresh and vibrant, jalapeno adds a nice kick Havana Roll - The mango brings brightness to the roll 5 Nigiri & Crazy Roll - Value combo, the bluefin tuna quality is good

    My husband surprised me with a date night at Kodo Sushi. It was my first time eating here, but had…read moreheard him talking about it many times in the past. Upon arrival, the place doesn't look like anything special. It's inside a strip mall, and looks mediocre. However, do not judge too soon. Once you get inside, everything is well laid out & it's very nice. It was busy when we went in on a Friday night, BUT we got seated quicker than estimated- which is always a win! I was not happy with where we were seated, as it was facing the wall in the small bar area. We are people watchers by nature, so it's always fun to be in a spot where we can look around the room effortlessly. However, it wasn't the end of the world and I certainly didn't want to wait any longer, the food looked wonderful & I was starving! I do not remember exactly which rolls we got, but... all of them were EXCELLENT!! Everything was undoubtedly fresh, and made with quality ingredients. I thought the black rice was really neat! I've never seen that before. The waitstaff were very friendly and accommodating. It took no time at all to get our orders out, which was impressive considering that the place was packed near capacity! As we left, all of the sushi pros behind the glass thanked us for coming in and wished us a great rest of our evening. I thought that was very kind. It's not very often that you find a whole line of people stopping what they are doing to wish you well on your way out of their establishment. All in all, 10/10 experience! I would recommend this place to anyone who loves Sushi!

We were a party of 12 visiting on vacation, and none of us are from the area. We ordered spam musubi and a chicken skewer as appetizers. Both appetizers arrived well after our entrees had already been served and we had essentially finished eating. Each time we asked about them, we were repeatedly told, "They're coming." Mind you, these are simple appetizers that should not take anywhere near that long to prepare. When we asked for the third time, we finally asked that the appetizers be cancelled since we had already finished our meal. At that point, the gentleman working the front area , tall, with red hair, loudly yelled from across the restaurant, in an extremely rude and confrontational tone, "It's already on the grill!" There was absolutely no reason to speak to paying customers that way. His response was unprofessional, unnecessary, and honestly created a very hostile and uncomfortable feeling during what should have been an enjoyable dinner, especially while our group was on vacation and simply trying to enjoy a meal together. When the appetizers eventually came out, we left them sitting there because we were already done eating and ended up taking them to go. He eventually told us they would be removed from the bill, which we appreciated, but that did not excuse the way the situation was handled. Again, the food was good, but good food does not make up for poor service and especially not for an employee speaking to customers in an aggressive and disrespectful manner. Management should seriously address how customers are treated, because the interaction with this particular employee overshadowed what could have otherwise been a good dining experience for our party of 12.

We shifted gears and went next door to Sake Haus, and I'm so glad we did! Everything was spectacular! First of all--BEST edamame I've ever had! That tallow really adds a richness! And the gyoza had just the right amount of kick to them. We had both the hamachi crudo and the halibut crudo. They were both delicious, but the hamachi was the standout. Hamachi is usually a little too fishy for me, but this just melted in my mouth and left me wanting more. We also had one of the specials, the 808 roll. It was topped with poke, and we would not let them take the plate until we'd scooped up every little morsel! Cocktails and service were excellent as well. We definitely ended up with a pricier meal than what we'd planned next door, but it was totally worth it! I wish I'd taken pics of the beautifully plated dishes, but I was too just eating!

    I was dying for sushi and this place looked promising. A few things to preface this review: 1) I…read morelove sushi and I typically steer clear of sushi in the desert for obvious reasons. 2) I lean towards sashimi and high quality fish. The service- pretty poor. I was sat in the bar at the back but I basically sat there for a good 5 minutes and nothing. I went back up front and asked to sit at the bar and it was still pretty inattentive, especially considering no one else was even seated in the front room at the time. Never got my water refilled, had to flag them down to put in more food, that sorta thing. The vibes- thought the bar was pretty lit and is prob pretty fun during HH. The food- overpriced for what you get and portion size while the fish and flavors being a smidge above average. I left still hungry after getting the gold omakase, bad and buri roll, and hamachi crudo. The hamachi was the best part of the meal but I'd still expect at least 5 pieces for the price. Anyways, this spot will hit the spot if you have a sushi craving. I can't vouch for the drinks but I assume it more than checks the box in that regard judging by the menu, selection, and vibe. But know that you're in for some trade offs imo.

When we arrived, I felt a little scolded for making our reservation through OpenTable, even though that's the platform Arizona Restaurant Week directed us to when we clicked the reservation link. That left me a little confused as to why OpenTable is listed as an option in the first place. We were also seated right next to the only other two guests in the restaurant, despite there being plenty of empty tables. I understand the seating choice a little more once the restaurant started filling up, but at the time, it made us feel a bit awkward and crowded. Thankfully, the **food was the highlight of the experience--and it was delicious!** I wasn't a huge fan of the crispy rice, but the cucumber salad was SO good. I also ordered the Dragon Roll, which was delicious. We ordered from the Arizona Restaurant Week menu, and choosing the steak made it an especially great value. The menu included an appetizer and dessert as well, so there was a lot of food for the price. Angela took great care of us throughout the meal. I do wish she had been a little more accommodating when our sushi roll presentation accidentally fell, but overall, she was attentive and friendly. There was also a little mix-up with the salmon belly nigiri. We thought it was included in happy hour, but it turns out regular salmon is on the happy hour menu while the salmon belly is not. Honestly, after trying it, I don't think the belly was really worth ordering anyway! There were definitely a few things about the experience that put me off, but now that I know what to expect, I'd approach things differently next time to hopefully have a better experience. **At the end of the day, the food won me over.** I'll definitely be back for happy hour because it looks like they have a really good one!
