    Truthfully, we wanted to love this space so much but felt it did not meet our expectations. We had to be moved from our table due to the grill not working after we were settled, but was more so gestured as they did not communicate what was going on with us. The interior was pretty and the tables are well spaced out. The silverware and overall space was very clean which I appreciate! This is not the typical authentic Korean BBQ that I'm familiar with. We found the cost did not align with the quality of the meat nor did it match what was promised. The marinated meat did not taste marinated nor did it have the traditional Korean marinade we are familiar with. Unfortunately there was a situation occurring at another table which took every server away for about an hour. It could have been handled better as we were waiting to ask for our check for a long time. The staff was nice and the side dishes were unlimited, it was just not a typical Korean BBQ experience. We likely won't return as this is far from us, but we hope it does well and makes improvement!

    Recently ate at gogi. The service and atmosphere was great. I think for the overall price of the food it could've tasted better. If you are looking for that korean bbq expierence gogi is great they cook the food for you, your not cooking it yourself. The food came out quickly and it was easy to get a reservation last minute .

    First heard about this restaurant on social media and I was excited to try it. They offer lots of options aside from the Korean BBQ like sushi, a variety of Asian appetizers like dumplings, baos, shumai and salads. The lobster option for Korean BBQ was a favorite... so delicious!! Great service! The staff was very friendly and made the experience enjoyable. Big shoutout to Simon! Good atmosphere! It was beautiful inside with the gold touches. It is located in a busy location in downtown Westport and parking can be tough to find, which is my only con. Will plan to be back.

    Sundubu (tofu soup) with white rice

    Stopped here on my way back from work. Was stuck in traffic and starving so I looked for a place that served sundubu. Found this place as the best option and my judgement was right. I went between lunch and dinner. It was quiet at that time, but still so inviting. Service was fast, and overall optimal. I was greeted by a server who also took care of me. I ordered the soup (sundubu) that came with a side of white rice which is standard. It was absolutely delicious. I ordered a pretty martini, think it was passion fruit flavored with ginger beer. It didn't taste as strong as other martinis I've had in the past but I think that was the point. I'm without a doubt hitting this spot back up when I'm over that way again. At the end, the server gave me a complimentary ice cream, and a discounted coupon. I was very happy with my experience and outcome.

    This Korean Steakhouse puts hibachi to shame. We had such a fun time with our server Simon and all the other amazing staff. The food is cooked right in front of you while they put on a show. We left with our bellies full and happy. The restaurant is a great place for a GNO, date night, or any special occasion! We highly recommend reservations as the seating is limited.

    We came in after a nice short hike on the earth place trails. The restaurant is located in a small plaza. With 2 parking lots to choose from, there was no struggle finding a spot to park. The inside is very pretty and has dark lighting, making the ambiance good for romantic meals. The service was spot on, and they do take samsung Pay and apple Pay in case you forget your wallet like we did, lol. We did not try the bbq, but we were able to sample 4 dishes, and all of them were super tasty. The food came very quickly after being ordered. The prices are about what you would expect from westport. I would certainly recommend giving this place a try!

    This restaurant was great. The food is top notch and so the pricing reflects that. WE got the butcher combo which had 4 meats and it was plenty for 2 of us. The staff was so helpful when explaining the menu and all the sides that come to the table. We also got the vegetable spring rolls which were phenomenal. Highly recommend checking this place out. The ambiance was great, spread out between tables, slightly dimmed lighting, upbeat music.

    GOGI - Westport, CT is a unique dining experience featuring a mix of Korean Barbecue and Sushi! The highlight? Watching the chef prepare your Korean Barbecue right at your table. Our server Simon was awesome! If you're looking to try something new, GOGI is a must-visit spot in Westport! Here's what we tried!

    Came here last weekend for boyfriend bday! Food is very delicious! Filet Mignon and chicken were so good! Service is outstanding! Easy parking. Regarding parking: Parking is at back of building, go down brick stairs to gain access to restaurant quickly. Great drinks! Definitely recommend! We will visit againsoon :)

    Chicken tempura and cream cheese roll

    If you want the best Korean BBQ experience in CT, you have to visit Gogi! We've had Korean BBQ before, but this experience was on another level! When we've done Korean BBQ at other places in the past, the restaurants are usually really smoky, and though they're typically all-you-can-eat, you have to cook everything yourself. Sometimes I feel like I don't know what I'm doing and that I could've cooked the meat better. Gogi is not an all-you-can-eat style restaurant, but I much rather prefer quality over quantity. We had the Butcher's Feast for 2, which came with 4 different types of meats, each at 6 ounces: A5 Wagyu (the highest grade you can get - the marbeling was impressive), Bulgogi (boneless short rib), galbi (bone-in short rib), and filet mignon. It's pricey but well worth it. I was so glad that the staff came to our table to cook the meat for us, because they seasoned everything perfectly, and the restaurant wasn't filled with smoke! The meal came with a variety of traditional Korean banchan, or small side dishes, and we really enjoyed the fried rice. The staff even showed us how to make a traditional Korean lettuce wrap with our meat and banchan. Gogi also has sushi on their menu in addition to other Asian dishes, and we loved the chicken tempura & cream cheese roll we had for an appetizer. My fiancé had a wasabi-tini that was perfectly spicy for him, and I enjoyed the mocktail they made for me! For dessert, we shared a chocolate lava cake and refreshing passionfruit & mango layer cake. Gogi really won our hearts - this was truly one of the best meals and experiences we've had recently. They've earned a spot as one of new favorite restaurants in CT!

    Galbi (short rib)

    Food is amazing here at Gogi; much better than any other KBBQ in southern CT. Definitely get the galbi which is not marinated but seasoned to perfection. The staff will cook table side for you and ensure it's made how you like it. To top it off, we got free ice cream at the end of the meal. Will be a frequent customer.

    Dessert

    The food was incredible, this was my first time at this restaurant. A cool feature is that there's a grill in the center of the table where the BBQ items are cooked to your liking! Simon, and the rest of the staff provided a wonderful service. The overall aesthetic and vibe give for a wonderful ambiance. The ambiance is great for families and friends. The parking is free and easily accessible.

    So I've actually debated whether or not to include this UberEats delivery review. The first time I…read moretried to go through with it, I just couldn't really figure out what to write. I only ordered it on UberEats this past Friday night, so it's not like I actually went there. However, the more I ate and thought about it, the more I realized something. This is the 4th year in 6 I've done a pre-birthday send-off UberEats order, and this is my 3rd year in a row doing so. In 2021, I had Edo on the last week before I turned 30. 2024, it was Boatyard at Smokey Joe's in Stamford, ordered on April 18. Last year, I did the Norwalk location of Elm Street Diner on April 24. If we want to take that into consideration, then that would be reason enough to sum my thoughts up together and get something down. So to send off age 34, say hello to Walrus Alley! If I'm being honest, I always wanted to have a barbecue right before my birthday of this year of all years. It only felt appropriate for 2026. Originally, I was going to have Wire Mill Saloon from Redding delivered using Yelp, but one of the items I'd ordered was out of stock, so that got canceled and I turned my sights here and ordered what I would have gotten from Redding. This was a half-rack of ribs, an order of Mac & Cheese, side of cornbread (this one came with coleslaw and pickles), and an a la mode chocolate bourbon pecan pie. The pecan pie was the only change since if I had gotten the Redding order, I would have had a key lime pie a la mode. I also put in some Alabama sauce because it does ribs a new flavor to play along with. I had everything over the next three days, hence why I am writing this review now. I will start by saying the ice cream did not make it without melting, but that's okay. I wasn't expecting it to since my driver did have to make a bunch of stops along the way, making my order take over an hour to deliver. No fault on the driver or restaurant there, and I ended up drinking the ice cream anyway, and it was still refreshing, so c'est la vie. The pecan pie it came with was actually really good. I found that it's better if you let that chill off a bit. Don't use plastic silverware for this one for the pie will break them, but delicious and sweet all the same. I'd love to have this in an in-person visit. In contrast, the cornbread should be warm when you eat that. It's buttered and soft, but it might be too dry if you try to eat it cold. The pickles are more of the spicy kind. I prefer sweet pickles, but I don't mind them being spicy either. The coleslaw I will say suffers the same fate that befell the one from Boatyard: it doesn't taste like true coleslaw. They should take a bit of inspiration from the Smokies (think Eastern Tennessee or Western NC) to learn how it should be done. It's lacking that mayonnaise component that truly makes it coleslaw. If they added that, then we might be talking! I decided to leave the ribs and Mac & cheese for last in the review because they do provide reheating instructions for those who order take-out such as myself. The Mac & cheese was actually eaten very late on the first night. The instructions given for Mac & cheese were spot-on, baking at 375 for 10 minutes before I dug in. It was some damn good Mac & cheese. Cheesy, love the breadcrumbs, and very satisfying overall. The ribs were the last to be finished. I will say I did also follow the instructions for the ribs as they were written; however, unlike the Mac & cheese, the ribs were still cold in the middle after 20 minutes in 375. You need the microwave to finish the job here. The ribs themselves were good. They weren't the best ribs I've ever eaten, but they were tender, the BBQ sauce was tasty, and the meat fell right off the bone. I will say that for this meal it needs a healthy amount of Alabama sauce all on it to really elevate it, but other than my experience reheating them this was my only criticism. Overall, a worthy BBQ meal. I'd still pick Hindsight BBQ over this if faced with deciding which CT BBQ to go with, but this will get the job done and then some if you need good BBQ. I'd love to come in-person one night and experience this place firsthand.

Skinny Pines aims to keep its pies as local as possible, buying all its produce and many of their key ingredients from farms in Connecticut and New York. In fact, Borofsky and his truck are headquartered in Easton, just less than five miles from Sport Hill Farm, where they are regular customers. The dough is made from hard red winter wheat, a 100% whole wheat grain milled to 00, sourced from Wild Hive Farm and Bakery in Clinton Corners, New York. The dough itself is treated to a 12-hour cold fermentation before it's left to rise for its weekly market appearance. This whole wheat dough is used on each and every Skinny Pines pie. The combination of finely ground 00 whole wheat flour and the wood-fired oven creates a light and airy crust, with just a hint of pleasant nuttiness. The Bianca is my recent pie pick, a white kalamata olive and rosemary pizza. Borofsky's toppings change seasonally, so check back often for his seasonal pie offerings and call ahead for their location.

The noodles had the perfect texture: chewy, springy, and able to hold onto the broth beautifully. Nothing was overcooked or mushy . What impressed me most was how balanced the ramen was.
