I love that Gushi is still here! I was in the area and passed by Gushi and decided to grab some lunch here since it's been a while. I got the combo plate ($18.95), and picked chicken and gushi for my meats. The combo plate comes with kimchi, salad, and a drink (I got a can of soda). Still as good as I remember for the price. Many take Gushi to go or dine in at their little outdoor patio (easier to fit small groups rather than large). There are some parking structures nearby for a fee, or metered street parking (good luck finding a spot and getting in and out), or street parking in the apartment areas (good luck there as well). read more

Gushi - combo plate with chicken and gushi - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The food is mediocre at best and the prices are too high for the food quality. On top of that, the lady at the window is extremely rude. You ask to pay for extra hot sauce or teriyaki sauce and she acts like she doesn't have any to sell. Back to the rude part, I show up to pick up an order and rudely tells me it's not ready. I stay in their small dining area. After 10 minutes I go check on my order 14 minutes and she asks my name and grabs it from where they keep the orders. Never called it out, just sitting there. Oh...and no utensils either. read more

How have I lived in WLA for decades & never eaten here? I Postmated a couple of things today, & everything arrived fast and perfectly packaged: Kalbi bowl - a generous amount of perfectly slightly charred, flavorful kalbi over white rice w/green onions. So delicious!! Gushi Kimbap - also a generous amount - of kimbap so good, it needed no sauces at all I've surely driven by here at least a thousand times over the years. It's very casual, with some outside seating, & I never realized how great the food is. Next time, I'll try their jap chae! read more

Not the biggest fan of their food. I ordered their chicken fried rice and was extremely disappointed. It was kind of disgusting. Maybe if I ordered something else? The quality of their food looked pretty good, everything was cooked to perfection and the portion size is WONDERFUL, I'm just not a big fan of the flavors, it taste artificial. The service also wasn't the best, the lady in the front was not as kind to the other customers, I saw her slightly raise her voice. But to me, she was a little standoffish and unwelcoming. I like the ambiance though! The tables and seating are clean and I like how it is outside but covered up so you can catch the heat from the sun without being in direct sunlight. I would recommend giving this place a try, but just be very cautious about what you order. Some things are a hit, some are a miss. read more

Pretty flavorful Korean food but it's so expensive. A kalbi plate is $28. Definitely most items are $20 and more. The price of bowl is maybe $3 less and maybe it's worth it to get the plate since it will come with salad and kimchee. The price just shocks me and I felt it should come with more rice. At least the meat portion was somewhat decent. And the plates came with drinks. Tried the triple combo plate which had chicken and beef with teriyaki on the side and kalbi. And I had a little bit of the spicy pork. Had the japchae as a side. It all tasted pretty good. There is outdoor seating. read more

Gushi - April 2025 - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Stopped by for a casual take-out dinner on a Sunday night and ordered the chicken teriyaki bowl and the Gushi (bulgogi) bowl. It was decently busy and we received our order fast. The chicken teriyaki was the clear winner. Strong charbroiled flavor, well-seasoned, and satisfying without feeling greasy. Portion held up too, enough that I split it into dinner and lunch the next day, which matters at today's Westside prices. Rice-to-protein ratio felt fair. The bulgogi bowl, on the other hand, fell short. The beef leaned more steamed than charred, and the texture was inconsistent with noticeable cartilage pieces that threw off the bite. Flavor was decent but the chewy texture lost me, especially compared to the chicken bowl. Pricing is reasonable for 2026 standards, and portions are solid for a quick, no-frills meal. Verdict: Worth it if you stick to the chicken. I'd skip the bulgogi next time and keep this as a reliable, casual option when you want something filling and fast. read more

I haven't been back to Gushi's since COVID but stopped by UCLA before Christmas and decided to try Gushi's again. Everything seems the same...but the plates was not as good as I remember. The rice was a bit undercooked and the chicken and beef were dry/chewy. I went as soon as they opened so maybe they're weren't set up properly. I would probably go back to try it one more time. There is paid parking next to Gushi's now- I think it used to be valet before...I don't remember. read more

First off the place, every single time I come here at the meat has a strange aftertaste almost like fertilizer, and it makes me think of the poor cows in the factory farms, standing up to their elbows in excrement. Also, the price is here taking advantage of the rich parents of the UCLA. Students were footing the bill, obviously for anyone who has the money to spend here. I go to a fantastic Korean barbecue all you can eat place for $60 where you get unlimited kalbi . Here you get three pieces for 35 bucks?!? Why are there so many rich people in Los Angeles who can afford to eat food like this and yet bitch about tipping. read more

Best chicken and beef teriyaki I've ever had in my life. I have been eating and ordering from the spot since I was probably 13 years old. I am a LA native. Half chicken half beef combo plate 10/10. read more

Quick and easy spot to satisfy your Korean food cravings. I wish the portions were larger considering the price. I got the bulgogi plate that came with rice, salad, and kimchi. The bulgogi was alright... more on the chewier side and the marinade was lacking. It wasn't terrible but not the best, just average. read more

Haven't had this place in a couple years, I was in the area and I wanted to see if it was as good as I remembered. The food tasted amazing and was as good as i remembered, i definitely would eat here again if I come down to this area again. This place is a little expensive, which makes sense because of the area it is located in and they charge a lot for extra sauce on the side. Sitting outside can be relaxing also, can see all the cars driving by and get some fresh air. The servers were nice, didn't really interact much because of how busy they were read more

I love college kid food, even though it's been quite some time since I've been in academia. Huge portion with a drink for under $20 (including tax). And quite tasty. Chicken Teriyaki Plate: Very tasty, for humble chicken. Like wow, how did they pack in so much flavor into that marinade. Plus the grill marks added a nice smoky layer. Gushi Plate: Decided to get the eponymous dish, since that's usually a safe bet. Plus I really like bulgogi. So bulgogi literally means "fire meat" and I love when it's scorched and crispy. Here, I didn't see any grill/griddle marks and it kinda had the soggy texture of gyudon. I mean, don't get me wrong, it was still very tasty. But given how nicely they grill the teriyaki dish, I was hoping my bulgogi would have a similar smoky kiss. read more

Gushi - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I used to dine at Gushi frequently but since their prices increased so much, it's no longer worth it. Today, 5/7/25 was the first time in a long time back at Gushi. I ordered the combo plate beef and chicken extra rice instead of salad. The portion is smaller than I remember for almost $24, I expected more quality and portion. The beef was not as tender, the chicken was just ok. They give only 1 small cup of sauce. I remembered in the past, they had the sauce available on the counter in case you needed more. The rice was mushy and overall, it was not as good as it used to be. My friend ordered the kimchi fried rice and she also thought the rice was too mushy. The other friend ordered the soup and she said it lacked flavor and it had too much bean sprouts. Gushi used to be a crowded place back in the day, it's different now. I don't mind paying as I understand everything has gone up but quality should reflect that. They are close to UCLA on Gayley Ave. Service was ok, place is very casual. They have tables available for dine in. read more

You can't walk around in Westwood village without smelling delicious kbbq from Gushi. Their Kalbi plate is my favorite thing to order-- their Kalbi is so tender and full of flavor. It pairs really nicely with the white rice, side salad, and kimchi. I also love to order their japchae to eat with Kalbi. Excellent quality and huge portions for the price. As a busy medical student, this place is the best spot to grab takeout and satisfy my Korean food cravings. read more

Gushi - Kalbi, Japchae - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Wow. Stopped by for Fat Sal's, BUT smelled the awesomeness from this place so I had to try it. The order took quite a while to fulfill to be honest, but it was definitely worth the wait. Seemed like there were a lot of pick up orders so that might be a smarter choice. There's a decent amount of seating and it was easy to find parking so it wasn't all that bad. I ordered the Gushi plate which had beef, chicken, and short ribs. The beef blew my mind, it wasn't like your average thin hawaiian bbq beef, this was like a thicker juicier beef. Pretty impressed. I added a japche on the side and it was tasty as well. Flavor on point for sure. Great job read more

Prices went up by $4-5 so it may not be as affordable for a student anymore but portions and quality remind the same. Gushi's a hut off a busy corner at Gayley that offers korean grilled meat platters and other snacks. Hits the spot for a Westwood joint but pretty, pretty pricey now that I don't think it is worth it! Quality of the meats and portions are nice but truly- not sure if it's worth for the price! My favorite item is the kalbi platter- comes with nice juicy quality kalbi beef served on white rice with kimchi and salad on the side. Is also accompanied by a black sauce that I recommend pouring over your meat and spicy sauce which is just some sriracha. Also, a free small soft drink comes with the order OR you can also get miso soup instead of a soda! It used to be 18.95 so I'll get it often but the price is now $24!! and after taxes is over $27!!! so I'm not sure if it's worth it anymore! It's good but the cost could cover a better meal or even two meals elsewhere read more

Bottom line: 20 fricking dollars for a beef bowl, ucla students with wallet fatigue probably want to continue their search for a cheaper meal somewhere else. Holy guacamole !Good grief foodflation! Eventhough it's 2023 and stagflation runs amok, this is still Extremely cost prohibitive for the ucla crowd. Ordered the beef bowl. At $20 , I was expecting any kind of side and drink. The beef came naked a La carte on a bed of rice. Except for the green scallions, it was offered with zero sides and other veggies So essentially, you're paying $20 for some beef. The beef was just okay. Yes it's a notch above the fast-food Korean bowl places, but not at these prices. read more

Gushi - 20$ beef bowl? What do you say to that ucla students ? - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Gushi is one of three food shacks that are next to each other (the others Hangry Moon's, Fat Sal's Deli) with no indoor seating, limited outdoor seating, and orders taken and given out from a window. All three are popular with UCLA students who live in the neighborhood. My last order was the combo plate with bulgogi and beef teriyaki over white rice with a side of kimchi and salad. The bulgogi and beef teriyaki were perfectly grilled and flavorful. The plate came with extra teriyaki sauce on the side. The kimchi was good. The salad was just a generic green salad with a generic salad dressing. But basically, I came for the meat. And they provide a lot of it. Most customers get their orders to-go. However, I have usually been able to find an outdoor table at Gushi to eat. I have been there several times and will continue to go. A hole in the wall with great food. read more

FOOD - we got the chicken and galbi combo plate. p good, chicken is ok (a bit too chewy) but the galbi is fire. reminded me of galbi at a nostalgic family BBQ. the meat was so flavorful and had a smoky charcoal flavor. kimchi and salad are also not bad, but next time I would just get a galbi bowl, prolly way cheaper. PRICE - $$$$, for the money I thought we would get more meat but I was a little disappointed there were only lkke 4 small pieces of galbi and similar amount of chicken.

Served pretty big portions of meat and rice, but was pretty pricey. I got a bulgogi bowl, but did not expect it to come with just rice and meat, no veggies. If you want veggies, you probably have to order a plate, which is more expensive. The seating area is really small. The meat was okay and needed the sauce on the side for flavor, but there was only a small container and I ran out halfway through the meal. Service was really fast. read more

Gushi - Galbi and bulgogi - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The sweet smell of barbecue will lure you to this place. The food here is delicious, the servings are huge, and the price is somewhat reasonable for how much food you get. That being said, you're really just getting a giant pile of rice with meat on top. They up charge a lot if you want to add any kind of veggies/nutrition to your plate, which is disappointing. I wouldn't recommend eating your plate there since there are often cockroaches and other critters in their al fresco dining area. The service is moderately quick, but definitely not fast food if you're in a rush! read more

It was fine fast food Korean. I had the Yook Gae Jang which was served very very hot with rice and a very small 1/4 cup portion of kimchi. I waited for the soup to cool down to a level that is consumable. There is outside patio seating. It was cold outside, but they hadn't turned on the heaters. It was fine, but I think I should have gotten the beef and rice dish. read more

This place sucks. I ordered the Spam egg fried rice and it was disgusting. I asked the worker if he can substitute the scrambled egg for over easy fried egg and they said it would be possible. I proceeded to ask the worker if there was any other veggies in the dish. They said there was only peas and carrots. When I recieved the dish there was chunky onions. There was no spam in the dish, just chunky cheap ham, tasteless scrambled eggs and dry. The entire dish had no taste to it, dry and bland. Total waste of money.
