My wife and I visited this restaurant for our anniversary. We had not even looked at the menu before visiting. We ended up doing the all you can eat. I feel like the menu was a bit more compact than some other places we've been, and yet, it still has pretty much everything you could want. The service was very good on a Saturday night and towards the end of our meal, we were told by someone (maybe the owner) that they were shorthanded for the night. We did not notice. Excellent service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had the expected K-Pop playing and videos displaying. It would be a Korean BBQ without that experience[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. We were well taken care of, they offer great options for the AYCE and the quality were all excellent. I highly recommend! read more

I would give this place a 4.5 star rating, but the excellent service and quality of the meat rounds them up! The banchan selection could be improved (it was a bit lacking in quality and taste). However, we mainly came for the meat so it didn't bother us. We ordered mostly beef: brisket, ribeye, Galbi, and the hanger steak were great quality and the main reason why I rounded up to a 5! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their restaurant has a good ambiance and is very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The grill has a nice overhead/adjustable ventilation system that I wish other KBBQ places had.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The unlimited bibimbap and ramen bar is also great. Overall had a great experience and will definitely be back! read more

Gogigo is okay as far as Korean BBQ goes. Frederick does not seem to have as much diversity as Montgomery County, so keep that in mind when looking for Asian food. I have been here twice and probably won't come again due to better options closer to me. We opted for the AYCE menu A for $31 each, which includes 3 beef options, several pork options, chicken options, and 4 seafood options. I was bummed that when we tried to order the squid, we were informed they were out and had octopus as a replacement- which I do not like. They were also out of one of the pork options at that time. The meat itself was pretty decent, and they brought out large portions. They also had a good variety of side dishes, such as japchae noodles, corn cheese, and vegetable mandu. The staff were friendly and helpful. but it was a bit of a confusing experience because we let them know twice that we could grill our food (once with the signage at the table, and once verbally), yet they kept coming to put our meat on or to flip it. Maybe they were just not busy at that time and felt helpful, but we enjoy the experience to cook it and take our time. Overall, it is a good deal and good experience, but I am just too spoiled by other KBBQ places that this one fell flat. read more

All you can eat with reasonable price. Quality food, tasted meat. Attentive service, friendly staff. Convenient location with ease of parking. Inside air conditioning was cranked up due to the amount of bbqing that's going on love the flaming vibe. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good for large groups or couples.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend by IG@WineDinenVacay read more

Had a great dinner where we celebrated my mom's birthday. She was happy to have the complimentary hot tea with her tasty bbq meal. She enjoyed all the banchan (small sides) that were available and we did not get through all that was available. They are all obviously working hard to get everything for all the tables and are so kind and sweet. We will definitely be back! (My mom is already asking about it. ) read more

I've been to this spot well over 10 times. I've never been disappointed. The quality of the meat is top notch. Miae and the rest of the staff provide fast service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is open and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Whether I come alone or with a party, the experience is the same; excellent![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only downside is you'll be disappointed if you go elsewhere. read more

Our first time here... Food was very good; nice quality and choice. The staff were wonderful and very helpful during the adventure. Exhaust/cooking system VERY safe and user-friendly. The all you can eat lunch was great for the three of us celebrating a birthday. We will definitely be back! read more

We tried GogiGo and the food is delicious and flavors are on point. I enjoy their quality of meats and selection of bon chon or "side plates." I enjoyed the Hawaiian Bulgogi and Galbi. However, I was not a fan of their stringent "rules." You're allowed only three meats of your choice at one time. Then for children AYCE, they charge by height, not age. Also they will charge you if you order "too much." The ambiance is busy and loud. Lots of activity going back and forth, but the service is quick and efficient. The servers were constantly checking on our table to ensure we got refills in a timely manner, which was much appreciated. I'm glad to have a Korean restaurant option in Frederick and looking forward to going back. read more

So happy we tried this place tonight. At 7pm on a Friday they were able to seat us immediately. Mae was our waitress and she was so funny and personable. Honestly everyone that helped us was amazing and they were HUSTLIN busy. They gave us recommendations of meat to order and what dips to use it with. They have AYCE menu A and B. Both have great options and cost 31/38 depending on which menu you get. The food was delicious, highly recommend the Hawaiian bulgogi, spicy chicken and hanger steak. We will definitely be back soon! read more

Gogigo is very good for the price. Good quality meat and with short rib included. The sides were good and plentiful but the appetizers were lacking. The corn cheese and steamed egg come in tiny little tins which need multiple per person to satisfy. I will definitely go back for the meat. read more

We live this place! The staff is incredibly friendly and loved to interact with their customers. Now that they've moved to an all you can eat menu. It's even better. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I recommend this place if you'd like Korean barbecue and they love kids![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Best Korean BBQ in the DMV and the service is always on point! Worth the 1.5 hour drive from DC!!

We wenty went to gogi go and we likey liked. (Sorry about that). But seriously, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the place is very nice and the people are very friendly and attentive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu is good. We did the upgraded all you can eat. Next time we might want to do the regular one or eat off the menu. All of the side dishes were there. This place even has a bibimbap station that is included with the AYCE. The prices weren't bad - and [[HIGHLIGHT]]it would be possible to sit up to 6 people at a table- though we were only 4. We've been to places where seating 6 just wasn't practical. Not here. It would work fine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have ice cream sundaes for dessert and that was a nice serving. Thanky thank Gogi go! read more

This was our first time at a Korean bbq restaurant, so I don't have prior experience. Very friendly staff! We made a reservation for 6 and were sat immediately, but it was extremely busy when we left 90 minutes later. Our waitress explained how it worked and left us to order. We chose option A (all you can eat). 3 meats to start. The portions were huge, which is not necessarily the best thing. We cooked the beef bulgogi and were almost full! Then we cooked the shrimp and we're definitely done - we still had a huge plate of spicy chicken. Everything was delicious, but too much food for just 2 when doing all you can eat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is hot, crowded, and you have to cook so fast.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I think I would much prefer to come at lunch (with more people), so we could slow it down and try more things.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Went to the bathroom and was still finishing my food and drink I paid almost $100, for one person with good tip, they took my food and drink away!!! Only was in the bathroom a few mins, they took my belongings from tabel too. Do not touch people's belongings! Will not be back. read more

We've been to a few Korean bbq in Maryland and I am so excited to have one so much closer to home! Usually we are driving down to Rockville or germantown so I couldn't wait to try GogiGo shortly after it opened. We went as a group of 7 and they were easily able to accommodate. The service was excellent and the staff was very attentive to our needs. I loved the unlimited sides and the meats were good quality. We had a great time enjoying the food, service, and company. We finished with about 10 min left of the 90 min time limit and left feeling satisfied. read more

First time at a Korean BBQ place. Order your meats and cook for yourself. With a party of 8 it was super fun. The downside of this is that it was pretty cramped. The tables aren't quite large enough. All you can eat lowest option is $31 per person but it was fun and worth it I think! Make sure whoever likes to cook is sitting in the middle. Rice and water refills just kept coming fast which is nice and there are plenty of servers that you can place your next order with anyone. Great service and delicious food. I think atmosphere could be better and spacing/seating. read more

A quick review based on a first visit at lunch time a week after their grand opening, so stay tuned for a future update... Ambiance: very nice, modern interior. It's a typical "cook your own" Korean BBQ so the focus is on having lots of small grills, which limits table space and seating. Spousal Unit and I were seated at a table for four. We had to continually rearrange plates and dishes throughout our meal, making it a bit of a logistical challenge to separate plates of raw meat from other dishes. Do-able, but a bigger table with a lazy susan ring around the grill for banchan would have helped. Did not see any larger groups so could not tell how they managed. Food: You can order a la carte, but why would you want to? You have several AYCE options. The least expensive (Option A) includes three kinds of beef, four kinds of chicken, four kinds of port, and an assortment of banchan (sides, soups, and dumplings) with rice. You can also get veggies (onions, etc) to add to the grill. You cook the meats on the grill, and eat them as desired with (unlabeled) sauces from bottles on the table. Flavors were good and as as an AYCE place, portions are what ever you want them to be. Value: Option A is priced at $31 at dinner, making it a very good value - but at lunch, the price drops to $22 making it exceptional. We walked out stuffed and very happy. (One note: dining time is limited to 60 minutes at lunch and 90 minutes at dinner. so plan accordingly). Since Frederick's last Korean restaurant closed back in the '90s, I've had to drive to Ellicott City to get my BBQ fix. Is GoGi Go as good as Honey Pig or Chosun Hwaro? Time will tell. I hope Gogi Go cuts down my driving and fills my stomach for many, many years. read more

GogiGo is a great addition to Frederick, MD! Went here with my sister despite the mixed reviews, but figure we should go see and experience it personally. I had the all you can eat a+b option roughly $36 per person. I enjoyed the interior, design and layout of the place. The tables are wide enough for drinks side dishes etc. the only thing i disliked were the chairs. They are utterly uncomfortable, especially after 30mins of sitting. The food were good! Gogi steak, beef brisket, and spicy squid were delicious. I did not like that the marinated steak and pork belly had so much fat on them. But also there are variety of other choices of protein. They do offer basket of lettuce and other veggie side dishes which is good with meats. Be sure to ask for the SESAME OIL, sprinkle some salt and pepper and it taste amazing with your beef. The service was exceptional. Servers were very accomidating and helpful. The guy who brought us the meats was great, did not let us wait too long inbetween ordering. There was also an elder ajumma who were very thoughtful and nice! Lowkey taught us to wrap the beefs in lettuce with the garlic + spiced paste they give you. I thought that was the most humbling thing! The grill was good, but the oil from fatty meat were dripping down on the open flame not sure if thats safe. Maybe it is just how it is. Overall, good food, good service, great hood above the grill (keeping smoke/smell minimal). read more

I'm so glad to have Korean BBQ place in Frederick. Visited Saturday lunch around 12:20pm. No waiting when we got here but saw people were waiting when we were getting out. The food was great, and the service was good! Personally the price is a little high ($31 and up per person; but not many varieties for AYCE option A) but what doesn't nowadays. It feels a little disoriented overall because the restaurant just opened last week. But definitely I will visit again. If you want to make a Ssam, ask the server for sssamjang (soybean paste) or sesame oil and lettuce leaf. They will give it to you. read more

This place, at best, is decent in a pinch. However, with plenty of better options in areas like Rockville, the only thing that has me coming back here is distance. Pros: The AYCE options are a good bang for your buck, the cuts and marinade are good and you get what you pay for. The sauces are great, I'm glad you can also ask for lettuce raps, garlic, and samjang on the side for a more authentic meal. Both times I've been here I had the same waitress who was engaging and helpful. Cons: The side dishes are left to be desired. Bulgogi Fries are mediocre, the Pork Dumplings I ordered had to be sent back because they were still cold in the middle (and even after waiting ages to get them remade, I still had 1 or 2 pieces that were cold inside), and the corn cheese was just sad. Service was slow. I understand this place has just opened up and with seemingly a majority of staff being teenagers, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. But with so many people running around, everything seemed a bit disorganized and we were often left over looked. Banchan was always left un replenished. Overall, as one of Frederick's first KBBQ restaurants, it's a convenient place to quickly fulfill my KBBQ cravings. But I would still drive half an hour to the next town for better service and quality. read more

Food was immaculate, service was amazing, very very great hospitality with helpful workers

Great service! Sam was awesome!! Big portions of meat, but amazing quality. Love this place!

I'm so happy a KBBQ spot is available in Frederick! We've been to this spot a few times now (4-5 maybe?). It's usually a little busy, but not much of a wait. The service is pretty quick here as well, which is nice since there is a time limit for the AYCE options. We've gotten other options, but now we stick with option A as we don't feel the quality of meats in the other options are worth the extra price since everyone at the table has to get the same option. They give you a good amount of meat to start with, so everyone is able to eat relatively quickly without having to wait forever. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The one thing I don't like about coming here is how the tables are set up. It is one big table for 8 people, but it is divided into 2 tables (2 parties of 4). The reason I don't like the setup is because you end up way too close to the party next to you, if someone is sitting there. Last time I came, the man in the party over kept bumping elbows with me. It was very uncomfortable and awkward. In addition to sharing a table with another party, the table space itself is very limited.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We come back because the proximity to Frederick, the food is good for what you pay, and the service is relatively good. If it wasn't for the table set up, I would give this place 5 stars. I've had too many uncomfortable incidents with other parties AND not enough table space. It takes away from the dining experience as a whole in my opinion. Will I come back? Yes. I love me some KBBQ and clearly I've been here a few times since its open. Do I wonder if I'd rather drive the extra 30-40 mins to be more comfortable and slightly better meat quality? Yes I do. I would still recommend trying this spot out. It's not bad and I've recommended to a few people, but always with the warning about the table set up. read more

Food was awesome. Brisket was so yummy, and the house sauce was to die for. Spicy soy sauce was on the rice the whole night and was amazing.

I've been here about 6 times since they opened. Food is good, price is a little high, but well within range for value received. Staff is always attentive and available. Great teamwork from all of them. Why only 4 stars? They tend to seat you in areas next to others when there's clearly visible space. Also, be aware of cross contamination! I see the staff do some sloppy dangerous things sometimes, but honestly they're not as bad as some I've seen. Overall, good place and I would recommend them and will return. read more

I am half Korean and my husband and I went to GogiGo about a week or two ago. We enjoyed the food very much. The way the menu was set up was a bit out of the norm, but we finally figured out that I would get a Bibimbap bowl and my husband got a serving of bulgogi. It would have been way too much to get two entrees of meat, but our combination left us both full and very satisfied. They serve small dishes of side veggies, too. There was plenty of food and it was delicious and fresh. Our bill was very reasonable and I even had two glasses of wine. The wait staff was very attentive, helpful and polite. They were not too busy when we were there, so we got plenty of attention. I hope they are doing well; I would love to eat there again, even regularly! read more

Great cuts of meat, with a nice selection of marinades (brisket is always recommended). Consistently great service (been four times since they opened). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Decor is cool, if minimalis, but I'd recommend over other KBBQ spots in the area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We moved back to Frederick and when we heard about a KBBQ spot in town we were ecstatic! We've been to Gogigo several times and every time it's wonderful! It has been around for a bit so they should have all of the staffing kinks worked out. Every time my partner and I have gone we've had a wonderful time. The staff is attentive and informative. I noticed that they are also very willing to help customers who aren't sure of what to do when it comes to KBBQ. The price is fair given what the cost of food is these days. What I appreciate is if you just want 1/2 a portion of something from their AYCE they're willing to do that and I haven't experienced that before. The Ssamjjang is *chef kiss*. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathrooms are clean, ambiance is good not too club like, not too barebones either.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I enjoy the K-POP they play as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you've never tried KBBQ, Gogigo is the place to go! read more

This spot is a gem. Amazing Korean bbq. What made the experience even better, was our server Rachel. She was great

Ate here tonight and all the meat was fresh and the sides were really good. Many different sides were available and I think it is reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. The place seemed very organized for only opening 2-3 weeks ago and we were seated within 30 minutes. I'm so excited that Frederick finally has Korean BBQ, we will be back! read more

The food was ok but only the ribeye steak was worth it. The service was bad, not enough people to tend to tables. The space between people not much. Also lacking options for sides. No lettuce and the marinades to sweet on the bulgogi so it's not true Korean style. Need fresh ingredients. read more

I'll start with a disclaimer that I've never been to a Korean BBQ place before. I enjoy going out to dinner to be in a relaxing environment where I order and am given what I want. Most importantly, it's a meal I don't have to cook. So right there is three strikes against me. Gogi Go has been open for a few weeks now and I've been excited to visit for months. We went as a party of four on a Thursday night at 6PM. We had about a 25-minute wait. I think the very limited waiting area (and no pagers) is a bad design for a restaurant that takes quite a while to finish a meal. We were seated at a large, shared table with two grills and eight chairs separated by a small divider. One of the staff dropped off several small dishes of various vegetables without telling us anything about them. I still have no idea what they were. Our server eventually stopped (after 5-10 minutes) and briefly explained how the AYCE worked and took our drink order. Their bar isn't fully stocked yet and seemed to only have Asian beers and rice wine. Water it was. We placed our three meat items (beef bulgogi, chicken something and soy shrimp) and the trays arrived in fairly short order. Here's my first real issue. At a four-top, there's no room for all the drinks, meats, various bowls, dishes and utensils. Not only is there no room, but there is also a real concern with cross contamination of the food while cooking and just having the raw meat dishes left at the table for most of the meal. Especially, with a single tong given to cook and serve everything. (we did get a second) The second issue I had was, as an avid griller, the temperature of our grill was very low. The surface area was pretty small too. It took at least five minutes to cook the shrimp and close to 15 minutes to cook the chicken. They did have adequate ventilation at the tables, no worse than going to a teppanyaki restaurant like Miyako's. We didn't get our money's worth (four people for $200), but that isn't a huge deal to me. I just didn't enjoy the experience of the meal. I feel a lot of that is my fault, this is not for me. But the shortcoming of the activity is real. Cramped tables, food contamination (yeah, I paid for that later), slow service getting refills, lack of clarity on how to order stuff; I think these are things that Gogi Go can fix going forward. I hope so because I want them to succeed. I do not think we will return. read more
