We haven't been here since a change of ownership. The new owners are Korean and have brought some real, authentic Korean flavors to their restaurant. There is an emphasis on meat here, and the flavors are incredible. We ordered the family meal, which was a feast for 6 people. We all agreed that we would recommend this restaurant. I missed the traditional japchae. I'd also like to see some more traditional Korean beverages like Barley Tea, Dalgona or Milkis. Kamsahamnida (감사합니다) we will return in the future. read more

The food and service were incredible! Very energetic and friendly staff. We went to celebrate my dad's birthday and the entire staff came out to wish him a happy birthday with some fruit sushi rolls. If you don't have much experience with Korean Barbecue, they do a fantastic job of explaining and demonstrating how to do it, and happily explain what each dish is and how to cook it. Very authentic experience. I would highly recommend coming here. read more

5th time here for the past 12 months, service and quality are nice and stable. Average price is $60/ person, you get what you pay for. Love oxtail soup. read more

The sushi was amazing!! I'm a big sushi lover and have tried many sushi restaurants in Utah. This one is top 5 best sushi places in Utah. Food was super fresh. Service was amazing as well, the sushi chef came out to greet me and make sure I was satisfied with my sushi. Atmosphere was nice as well with soft music in the background, clean restaurant and clean bathrooms. read more

Wow. Absolutely incredible. If you like Korean BBQ and aren't scared by a more authentic one with more authentic food (spicier Kimchi, less American marinades, not all you can eat Korean BBQ where there are a million sides) then you should ABSOLUTELY try Goong Korean BBQ in Springville. It's not all you can eat so the quality is drastically higher, but obviously you pay for that quality. So prices are higher compared to your average Korean BBQ restaurant. We got a beef combo (which feeds 2-3 people) and everything was absolutely phenomenal. It came with tons of sides including Kimchi, a variety of pickled veggies, a kimchi pancake, rice, and more. The beef was obviously the star. They started with a plate of bulgogi (already cooked) which was absolutely delicious. They then brought brisket and a ribeye steak which you could cook or they cook for you standing next to your table. We thought that was a nice touch, and something you don't typically find at a Korean BBQ place due to the rush of all you can eat. Finally they brought a large tender beef rib that was literally on fire which was fun, and they sliced it up for you. All the beef was excellent. After all that the head chef/owner brought out a complimentary ox tail stew which is one of the most incredible things I've ever eaten. Absurdly tender ox tail, the most amazing broth, and eaten over rice it was absolutely incredible. I could've eaten just that for my meal and been thrilled. I will literally be returning primarily to get more of that ox tail stew, it was that good. Then to finish it off the combo came with some mochi ice cream which is always a hit. All of this food I mentioned above was part of the small beef combo that cost around 90 dollars. More pricey than your average Korean BBQ place but also, in my opinion, substantially better and worth the price. This is not a restaurant for kids generally speaking. There's no kids menu, and of course the flavors, unless your kids are used to this kind of thing, are not something that many kids would enjoy. So I would recommend this is an adults-only dinner location unless your kids love these flavors. There is so much I could say about Goong but honestly the best I can say is I will 100% be going back. And you better believe I'll be ordering that ox tail stew. read more

Goong - The small beef combo for 2 people - Barbeque Near Me - Springville, Utah

Food was great! The oxtails were amazing and the stone bowl bimbimbap was very good. Banchan was also very good. Service was excellent.

Absolutely amazing people, food and energy in this establishment! My server was very polite and energetic. As a trucker it's not very often that I come across really good food and really nice people. My server had conversation with me about life in my end and hers. The food was so delicious, I ordered the Elvis roll, spicy pork bowl meal and both were amazing! She brought me out corn cheese on the house which was also very good! If you are coming through the area or from here definitely give this place a try! It's a hidden gem!! Thank you Nan and Sean! Great people! read more

Tried this place last night. We loved it. It's owned by a fun Korean couple who served our table. They had great energy and were very friendly. We got the beef bulgogi and the spicy pork bowls, both were an A+ with so much flavor. We also tried the sushi for fun and got the Vegas roll and lucky roll, both were also excellent. We had way too much food but we like to try new things at a new place. We will definitely be going back and will take the kids next time. read more

Absolutely wonderful service from everyone there. The server was engaging and talkative, very cordial. We ordered the Korean BBQ, it was so good. A chef cooked for us, the Ribeye melted in your mouth. So delicious, I would recommend it above anywhere else I've been in Utah, just for the friendliness of the staff! Please try it out, you won't be disappointed. Ask for the spicy Korean sauce! read more

Just came here for the first time. We were kindly greeted when we arrived, and all the staff was so friendly and easy to work with! The restaurant is clean and so cute. I ordered spicy pork and a California roll, and it was amazing. It came with free side dishes and soup. The staff even gave us free potstickers and a free sushi roll! I will definitely come back. I had an amazing experience. read more

Hubby and I are new to town and we've been hunting for a quality Korean food fix and we are SO GLAD we found Goong. The staff (apparently the new owners) were so excited to see us and the food was EXCELLENT. Hubs ordered bulgogi and I got the stone bowl bibimbap. We cleaned every inch of our plates... also tried sushi for the heck of it and it was fresh and delicious. The chef's housemade kimchi is AMAZING, such good spice. We will definitely be back! read more

Best Korean BBQ we've EVER been to! The food was top notch, the service was excellent, and the location was amazing. Great date night! read more

If I could give more stars I would. The sushi was amazing especially the lucky roll but it was all tasty. Meat was great, huge portions. We will be coming back here often! Arguably the best service we've ever had, the workers were all so nice! read more

Delicious food, love the bulgogi bowl. Friendly service, clean cozy atmosphere. My sister ordered the chicken bowl, also delicious.

This is a hidden gem in Springville UT. The place is located right across from Walmart. It is low key. When you walk-in, the decor is modern but with Korean accents. The service is very attentive and the quality of their meats is superb. The marinade sauce is not overpowering. Personally, I would rank this place higher than most of the LA Korean BBQ. We will definitely recommend to anyone who wants experiencing an authentic Korean BBQ meal. read more

If you like authentic, inexpensive and delicious Korean BBQ, I couldn't recommend this place more! I had the bibinbap and my son had the chicken bowl. They came with side dishes of kimchi, sweet potatoes and various veggies. DELICIOUS!!! The lunch specials were only $9.99! The portions were big. Extremely good service as well. I can't wait to go back to try the sushi! I think this is the best Korean BBQ in Utah County! read more

I can count on one hand how many reviews I've left. This place is THAT GOOD! I need to tell everyone about it!! Our first time here and not only was the sushi amazing, the staff was so awesome!

We eat out quite often and Goong is the favorite restaurant of my wife and me. I am a big fan of Korean food and Sushi but my wife usually isn't, but in the case of Goong, well it's just knocked our socks off every time we've gone. My wife loves the bento box, whereas I'm a big fan of the All Star roll. The service is outstanding as well. The interior is nice, clean and appropriate to that kind of restaurant. read more

On a stopover found this highly rated establishment on Yelp. It did not disappoint. Great food, great service and reasonable prices. We both had the bento plate, one chicken and the other beef. Also came with side dishes of kimchee, cucumbers, bean sprouts and potatoes. Our selections also included miso soup that hit the spot on a rainy, lightning and thunder night. Generous portions on our entrees. If this was in our neighborhood we would be frequent patrons. So glad we stopped by read more

Amazing service, atmosphere, and flavors. Our server, Phoebe, was kind, knowledgeable, and friendly. We even got to meet Chef Kim! His marinated kalbi is incredible. We got the beef combo for 2 and were overwhelmed with deliciousness! From side dishes to kimchi stew to the amazing, freshly grilled meats, this place is a must. We will be recommending to everyone we know. read more

Fantastic sushi! Our group of 7 people tried about ten different rolls and loved them all. BTS roll was our favorite, along with Lion King. Affordable as well! read more

This was our first visit and our waitress, Phoebe, was amazing. She showed us step by step on how to prepare and cook our food. The food was hands down the best Korean I've ever had. Everything was homemade and locally bought from local farmers. This is now my go to spot for Korean food. read more

This place was not good or worth it at all. The other reviews were deceiving. We went in with a few friends and we all left disappointed and wondering why it had 5 stars. I quickly noticed it wasn't great when we were ordering drinks and suggested we leave. We decided to stay and give it a try. We paid around $60 a person. The food did not taste as good as other Korean bbqs. We regretted not going somewhere else in general. read more

High quality small business ALERT! If I could give this restaurant 6 stars I would. Freshest and tastiest KBBQ I have ever had. Large portion sizes and all of the meat comes from a local butcher in northern Utah. We got the beef combo platter for 2 and we couldn't even finish it all. The chef/ owner was very attentive throughout the meal and provided great service. read more

My family and I went for dinner last night for our first time. Let me tell you that ever since Sam Hawk (Korean restaurant in Provo) closed, we've been looking for one that offers Stone Bibimbap. Well look no further, Goong Korean bbq has them and they're so good. We truly enjoyed them and will be back for sure. The service was excellent and the chef crafted each individual plate. The place has a calm ambiance as well. Oh yeah order the Dumplings- really yummy. read more

Service was great, our server was very friendly and the chef even came to check and see how it was. The environment was very clean and the food was awesome, it is expensive but it comes with tons of food. We got the combo A for myself my wife and my son. It says it's for 2 people but a 4th person could have joined and we still would have had plenty. Very traditional and delicious. read more
