It almost seems as if it's par boiled as it is plumpish but hard with no tooth-feel. It also has no flavor as if they do not season it at all. It does have a brownish color and kidney beans in it but other than that, it doesn't taste like anything.The chicken in my opinion isn't as good as it used to be. I really don't get a whole lot of jerk flavor from what I should be tasting like thyme, all spice, etc. Not sure if I'll go back but if I do, I'll probably try something different.

Took a group of employees to Gogi for dinner Tuesday night…read more Enjoyed good food and good company. The different selections of meat in the All You Can Eat menu were solid. I think we tried everything but the spicy chicken and beef brisket were the favs of the group. Lots of sides and rice. Nobody left hungry that's for sure lol!! Service was great as well. Our main server was consistently checking on us and getting refills very fast. There were several other servers who stopped by as well. They changed the grilled quickly so we could keep cooking and stuffing our faces. Place was WAY bigger than I expected from the outside with plenty of seating and private-ish spaces. Plenty of parking. Great choice!!

My boyfriend and I were craving KBBQ, so we decided to try Gogi-en. He's been here before and…read morebrought home galbi and marinated galbi that were amazing. Because of that experience, we came in with high expectations and were really excited. At first, I liked this restaurant for its cleanliness and cute decor. The overall ambiance gave a very pleasant first impression. However, my experience today was quite disappointing. I was not satisfied with the service or the food quality. When the server brought us to our table, she seated us at the front near the entrance by the snack corner. We asked if we could move to a table in the back, but she told us those tables were for non-bbq guests. We were okay with that and stayed. However, shortly after, we saw other parties being seated in the back and eating KBBQ. That felt inconsistent and honestly disappointing. We ordered the yookhwe (beef tartare) bibimbap ($20.95), the Korean beef BBQ combo for two ($119.99), prime rib ($44.95), and makgeolli. Honestly, the portions were lot smaller than I expected for the price. Brisket only came with 6 thick pieces and galbi came with 9 to 12 pieces depending on how you cut them. The last straw was just seeing 10 small pieces of prime rib. As for the taste, it was decent but not the best. The banchan, doenjang jjigae, and steamed egg were good, but the beef was tough and hard to chew. The sauce on the marinated galbi actually hardened like candy after grilling and stuck to my teeth and the plate. We cooked most of our meat ourselves, which we didn't mind, but it seemed like our server was busy with other tables. Overall, I was disappointed and probably won't be back. If you've never had KBBQ, it might still be worth (?) a try considering for the authentic experience, but I don't think the service, portions or quality make it worth the price.

The price point for the meal was pretty great considering wings have become so expensive lately. The fries were cooked well and I love that they have malt vinegar. I wish the wings were just a little more juicier I think because they smoke them and then fry them. Mines got a little dry. I also wish that the robe was just a little saltier that I would definitely eat here again.

Tried the brisket sandwich at Lox Stock at van Aken. Flavor-wise, it was very good -- the brisket,…read morecheese, and pickle combo worked nicely and tasted great. That said, I was disappointed by the size. For $20, I expected a thick, hearty sandwich, but this felt pretty skimpy for the price. Ordering was also a bit frustrating -- I had to repeat myself three times, and the employee taking my order had AirPods in. When your job involves communicating with customers, that really shouldn't be allowed by management. Good flavors, but between the small portion and the ordering experience, it's only 3 stars for me.

I saw some menu items that sounded light and refreshing (like the lox with cucumbers) and figured it was worth a try. As I followed my GPS and other people walking in, I had no idea what to expect -- but the moment I stepped inside, I was blown away. The space is filled with beautifully curated shops and venues all under one roof, and the energy was vibrant, electric, and welcoming. People of all ages, backgrounds, and cultures were there -- it truly felt like a community gathering spot that instantly felt like home. I placed my order, grabbed the lox and a Coca‑Cola, and found a free table amidst so many people enjoying themselves. The community feel was unmistakable -- people chatting, laughing, and soaking up the atmosphere. The food was wonderful, the service was fantastic, and overall the experience was unforgettable. If you're looking for a place that's more than just a meal -- one with real heart, vibe, and community spirit -- this is it

06/28/25 I went here…read moretoday to get a gyro and it was absolutely terrible. The bread was falling apart, the meat was not good and to top it all off, the woman that was working there did not have a professional demeanor. I asked for a refund and the boss was not there and told me the boss would be there later and a note would be left for the morning or whenever I come in but no, I'm disputing the charge and getting my money back because it was absolutely disgusting, it was not the meat, it was simply the chef and unable to cook properly, keep a professional setting and the energy was off the entire time I was in there. I used to eat here quite a lot but clearly, a lot of things have changed. Find a better cook.

Well, you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover because this is now one of my favorite restaurants and when I tell you the food is fresh, delicious and filling, it's no joke. I started off with falafel wraps, then moved on to the salmon dinner. It went from there to the lamb chops and then trying the actual bowls. Insider tip: Get the garlic cilantro ranch mayo!!! I have hipped everyone I know onto this place. My children love it and whenever I tell them I'm going, they text me what they want, lol. Do not sleep on Pita Potle!

The door is wonky though...super heavy and opens weird. They have a lot of different options and premade bowls. For someone who is not very familiar with Indian food, this place makes it easy to customize and try out stuff. Nothing was too spicy or too overspiced, thankfully. Everything tasted relatively fresh but the portions are too small for the price. It's not like at Chipotle or Cilantro where they fill up your bowl. I almost never finish my portion in one sitting but I had no problem doing so here. I wish there were more veggie toppings and not just pickled ones. Scallions and cilantro would be great options to have. The mango lassi was delicious but so small. The inside is high ceilinged, spacious and has plenty of seating. The big group bench in the middle had such heavy and had awkward block seats. They were hard to get in and out of and were so uncomfortable.

Men absolutely mess up the restrooms and women bear the brunt of it. Petition to go back to restrooms specific to the sexes.
