Visiting Tuscan And my Korean family took me here I understand there's not much options so if you need your fix get it , stick to the meats ... service was a 4 ... they aren't very friendly ... the side dishes were old ... and Costco sells better Kimichi . I was sitting in rear and watched the cooks come out and use the microwave to heat some of the food .. all this could have possible over looked if the service was great and nice .. read more

My 1000th review!! I am glad it's a Korean restaurant and a darn good one. We ordered soon tofu and bulgogi bibimbap. First came the side dishes and they were very fresh and delicious. The bibimbap and soon tofu was excellent as well. It looked like this restaurant was run by two Korean ladies; everything tasted authentic and yummy. They were hand making mandoo as we were eating our meal, so we'll definitely try that next time. Service was friendly and excellent. Highly highly recommend!! read more

Lovely restaurant off Grant next to yoga studio. Ample parking. Ambiance/Cleanliness-just like a Korean bbq restaurant in San Diego! Peaceful, well lit, long and narrow. Very clean. 4 stars Service-Excellent! The greeter/server/cook was a helpful and friendlly lady who gave great advice, was quick and efficient. 5 stars Food-I had beef bulgogi bento. Came with big scoop of white rice, superb miso soup and 3 banchan(made in house). Lunch box was best restaurant deal in Tucson, $12.00. I asked for gochouchang(also made in house) and it was perfect. Great iced tea as well. 5 stars read more

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile and I'm glad I finally did. The atmosphere is very inviting. The staff was very friendly and kind. I had the bibim bap without the egg and meat. It was delicious! One of my favorite parts of eating at a Korean restaurant is the smalls shareable side dishes. They served four and one was a pickled zucchini which wasn't my favorite. I will definitely be back though as the rest of the food was really good. read more

The Beef Yakisoba and Beef Bulgogi dishes were amazing. We cleaned our plates. Everything tasted made from scratch. The lady helping us was also cooking the food and super friendly and welcoming. Cannot wait to come back to this lovely establishment and try other dishes. The kimchi was delicious and had that nice crunch. Everything was fantastic read more

Very nice place. Started with Miso Soup, banchan to follow. My entree came out on a hot plate and was still boiling. It stayed warm until I was done eating it. It was spicy cuttlefish with veggies and was very tasty. Definitely good Korean food. read more

We've been wanting to try this place for a while, and overall it was a great experience. The service was excellent and the Gyoza was delicious. The mozzarella pork katsu was just okay, but the dishes still felt authentic and flavorful. The interior is nicely decorated, and there's plenty of parking, which is a big plus. read more

We love this place! There is a verity of food to choose from, and it always comes out fast and hot. The owner is very funny and always engaging with the customers. It's a very homie vibe in the restaurant, and definitely one of our favorite spots to go to. read more

The bibimbop was so good! The cashier was so nice and welcoming and the miso soup was the best I've had in town.

It's conveniently located in the strip mall with plenty of parking. This restaurant still has that old time mom and pop Asian family feel it's a definite classic type vibe with Auntie up front taking orders and the rest of the family in the back cooking and putting to go orders together. I always like to support a locally owned business. It's also about expectations, everyone is under staffed, so I always appreciate the service staff who are working. Having said that the service was fast and efficient . It's also about being realistic about the food. This is not a mall based chain restaurant or a high end bistro somewhere. The food was well prepared hot and delicious. This is a Vietnamese restaurant. So there's lots of variety in the menu. read more

This is by far one of the best Korean food I've ever eaten! Everything was delicious! Service was great (we were there early) and ambiance informal. Try it out! 4.7 stars. We will definitely come back. read more

KOGI Korean BBQ - Bulgogi, kimchi fried rice - Korean Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

It's OK, not outstanding, 3.5 stars. I had the Bulgogi Dolsot Bibim Bap. Plenty for my money's worth. Just wish that the bulgogi had more flavor to it. It was just enough flavor to make it bulgogi. Kinda like their miso soup that came with it. Just enough to make it miso soup and not miso flavored water. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Tucson-top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs! read more

With an hour and a half between appointments, and so dang hot, lunch in a delightfully cool restaurant seemed like a great idea. In the mood for pho (yes, pho is still great in hot weather!) I headed to my favorite Vietnamese eatery. Darn, the door was locked and a sign on the door said "Closed on Tuesdays." Kogi Korean BBQ is a couple doors down, so they were the lucky winners of my lunch business today. My server brought a tall glass of ice even before the menu. Truly appreciated. Way back in 2019 I enjoyed Korean BBQ here with a friend, but the BBQ experience isn't as much fun alone, plus it seemed too heavy for this hot day. The appetizer section was appealing, so I chose the spicy Korean chicken wings and other assorted bites. The potstickers were plump and flavorful and the shu mei were pretty good. I don't know what the round rice things are called, but they were a bit bland and needed more dipping sauce.The wings were not good. If the menu had said they were breaded, I wouldn't have ordered them. I much prefer wings that are crispy, well seasoned, and lightly tossed in sauce. These had a thick coating that soaked up the sauce, creating an unappealing mushy mess. It was warmish and sticky in the restaurant today. I venture to guess that a swamp cooler was doing its best to cool the room, but in this humid time of year, coolers aren't efficient. I do want to compliment the staff for an absolutely immaculate bathroom. read more

Everyone in my family loves this place. The food is great, and we have tried pretty much every option on the menu. I highly recommend the mung bean pancakes as a starter. It is great to share and extremely delicious! You can't go wrong with anything at this restaurant! Super casual ambience. I don't recommend for groups more than eight unless you call ahead. We love Sunny. She has been our server every time we have been there and she is super sweet to our family and very welcoming. Anytime I crave Korean food Koji is our go to.! read more

This place is our go-to for bibimbap. We come here for lunch bibimbap a few times a month. Service is always good and so is the food. We have had the calamari and panko shrimp. We have also enjoyed kimbap, which is cooked rice and fillings rolled in seaweed and sliced into bite-sized pieces. The portions are perfect. read more

KOGI Korean BBQ - Beef Bulgogi Bibimbap - Korean Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I brought my teenage grandson who is highly allergic to anything sesame. This is the only Korean restaurant I could trust - as so many Korean dishes are made with sesame and sesame oil. They were so caring and careful in their recommendations. He was so happy with his meal and I loved the bimbimbap. read more

Have been going to Kogi for years and they never let me down. Everything is delicious and freshly prepared to order.

Best Bibim Bap I've had in Tucson. I need to come back with someone who wants to try other menu items, because I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to bring myself to order anything else. Our server was great, and the food came out quickly. I'll be back. read more

Food was ok wasn't bad just what i got wasn't great imo. Really wanted the beef bulgolgi lunch special but it's weekdays only so opted for something simple really wanted bbq meat so ended up getting teri chicken. Was was just a plain chicken breast sliced and topped with teri sauce. Kinda tough and chewy but it's white meat for you. Really liked that there was ban chan (korean sides) she asked if I wanted which was kim chee (homemade cabbage super fresh not really spicy), fish cake strips and bean sprouts. All sides were super refreshing and was actually more excited on the sides than the chicken. Portions were actually decent for the regular meal. Side small container was just for the rice. For a Korean restaurant they have the basics covered, it was cold would've gotten a kim chee stew or tofu soup of some sort but needed something on the go. I'll be back again read more

The highlight of our venture in this restaurant was the sweetest halmoni who greeted us and checked on our food and if we enjoyed it. To be honest I was hungry. Coming from Cali, all my Korean fam would feel bad about how meh this place is. First of all.... The person in the front barely greeted us. Even when she acknowledged us.... It was meh. There were barely if any customers and she took her time to give us a menu. When she did... she seemed upset that we came in. She never came to check on us at all. After she served our food. Banchan was meh... flavor was good but portion and selection was sad. Soup: it was not hearty as I'm used to. It's tasty:... but portion again vs price...... doesn't match. Dolsot bibimbap: was ok....the pot was not hot enough and didn't make that crispy rice on the bottom. read more

Food was tasty and nice portions, enough to take home. Not enough to make us come back. Just ok food. Service was a bit lacking, our server could have been a little personable but I guess that's not the vibe here. Just your typical Asian restaurant that doesn't make an effort to clean the floors or walls. read more

Hard to find decent Korean BBQ outside of Los Angeles, but this place does it. Bulgogi is on point. Will come back!

Solid food but I question the hygiene. The food was good but then I went to the bathroom and there was no soap. I told the owner who had no urgency in adding soap which was disappointing. That's scares me. This is the same restroom the workers use. The food was fine. My chicken was a little chewy and the sauce was a store bought teriyaki sauce. The kimchi was delicious, however, and the seafood pancake was also tasty. Would I revisit ? Well, I wouldn't go out of my way especially with the "no soap issues" but solid spot overall. read more

Tucson's best Korean restaurant, and it isn't even close. Every time I come, I try a new dish, and each one surpasses the last. Tonight's feature was the Spicy Squid, and boy, was it a revelation of flavors and textures. Spicy, sweet, salty, earthy, and thick. It danced on my taste buds with the white rice. It's a quiet, hole-in -the-wall type restaurant, where you can enjoy a meal with friends or by yourself. The food is sublime, reasonably priced, and you will leave the restaurant thinking of how soon you can return. read more

This place used to be called Seoul Kitchen, and was my favorite Korean restaurant in Tucson. During my visit in Tucson, i decided to pay a visit to my oldie fave and was surprised that the name of the place had changed. The same venue, slightly different menu, same familiar feel - a feel you get while eating your best friend's mom's food (comfortable). This is perfectly good Korean meal while in Tucson. read more

KOGI Korean BBQ - Kalbi Dinner - Korean Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Our friends are huge fans of this family owned business and invited us to try it. We absolutely love Korean food and I have only been to one other here in Tucson, so we agreed to try it with them. Absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich, everything was fresh and cooked to perfection. KOGI's staff was working extremely hard and got our large order perfect. They even offered us some house made hot sauce, which was the perfect blend of heat with sweet and sour notes. I'm a huge fan of kimchi, so I ordered the pork kimchi....fantastic! Additionally, the soup, sides and beef dish, all delicious. We are really excited to go back and try more. Cold Sake with kimchi really hits the spot in the summer time. read more
