Food was amazing, the workers are so sweet and caring. Me and my boyfriend got food together and our total was below 40$ they have great prices with lots of food. We ended up taking some home with how much there was. It was so filling and enjoyable! I got the bi bim bap and my boyfriend got soon doo boo, we loved it. Definitely a san antonio hidden gem! Please ignore the other reviews the restaurant has totally changed and is doing amazingly so! read more

Kogi Korean Grill - Bi Bim Bap - Korean Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I went on a weekday evening. The restaurant was completely empty. 2 waiters sitting watching tv which they didn't see me walking in. It took a good 5 minutes to get their attention. Once I got seated one of the guys actually had prompt and very nice service. I used to go to this restaurant a lot in the past and it used to be packed! I am not sure what happened. I was expecting a big disappointment but no I was mistaken. The soup was delicious! You also get unlimited banchan which he kept on filling for me without asking Usually I like going to Rittiman road for the full Korean experience. Well this is closer to home and it is a good option for lazy evenings not wanting to drive far read more

Stopped here for lunch after church as I have been wanting to try it, as I enjoy Korean cuisine. I was very surprised they had my favorite dish, Bi Bim Bap, a dish I came to enjoy after being stationed in South Korea. The dish came with a side of Kim Chi, which was delicious. My wife was happy to see they had a lunch menu that was available every day and enjoyed the Beef Bulgolgi read more

I got the food delivered and it wasn't what I expected. I really wanted korean food and it didn't meet my expectations. The only food that was delicious was the kim bap. I really wanted to like the soup and it wasn't tasty. My brother ordered the fried chicken with hot sauce. I tried his chicken wings and I didn't care. He ate 2 and threw the rest away. Maybe I'll try this place again and try something else. I'll update my review then. read more

Used to love this place and wanted to have my birthday dinner here. Called everyday last week trying to get in touch to see if I could make a reservation for the weekend and no answer. I called countless times. Seems like this place has gone downhill according to other reviews referencing roaches. Maybe they should just shut down. Not what it used to be read more

Absolutely amazing food service. I have been getting DoorDash orders from here for months and I love every single food item I've ever gotten. The Kim Bap is extremely well done. When I've had issues with DoorDash drivers stealing my order from Kogi, they always handle it with the customer in mind. I could not have asked for better service from them and they have a customer for life. If you want to try a new place, I highly recommend Kogi Korean Grill read more

We came here on the off dining hours the Saturday before last weekend. The restaurant is on a strip mall but a bit hidden when you come in the main entrance . We came at 3:30pm and it was quiet . I ordered the squid calamari as appetizer and it was crunchy and flavorful. My husband ordered the spicy pork bulgogi and I ordered the regular beef bulgogi. They were good. Service was fast . I just had to fix my Korean food cravings . read more

My friends and I had the worst experience tonight at Kogi Korean Grill off Vance Jackson. I used to love this place but I guess it has a new owner. She tried to charge $8 for fries for my 1 year old when menu said $1.75. There was a roach in one of the dishes she brought us to "try" but only told us after a few minutes had passed. Then the server told us that that food was potentially spayed by pesticide. So furious right now. Never going back there and I don't recommend it to anyone. read more

Absolutely love the food here, always hits the spot when I want something hot and comforting with a lot of flavor. Service is always prompt, friendly and attentive whenever I come in ( at least once a week or every other week). It tends to be pretty empty when I come in but I still like the quiet and chill vibes in here. Sometimes whatever they're playing on the tv can be a tad bit loud but I personally don't mind it too much and kinda feels like eating at home while watching tv. Overall love this place and recommend it if you want chill vibes and good eats! read more

A few months ago, I accidentally watched the beginning of a Korean drama series on Netflix and found myself hooked on it. I watched the entire series and wanted more. Since then, I have watched 35 of them. Being a "foody", I couldn't help but notice some of the wonderful things they were eating in the shows. I learned the names of two of them jjahangmeyon and gimbap. I wanted to try them so I asked for recommendations on Nextdoor and found a few places to get them. Kogi Korean Grill seemed like the easiest retaurant to get to and was open when I wanted to go, so I headed there. I found both items on the menu, although they were spelled differently. I decided to order both and bring any leftovers home. The jjahangmeyon was a bowl of noodles covered in dark sweet and sticky bean sauce. It had pieces of pork an either cucumber or zucchini in it (I couldn't tell). I carefully mixed everything together as I had seen on TV. Eating it was very nice. It had that thick goodness that I really enjoy experiencing when chewing and swallowing. I could pig out on that stuff every day! The gimbap was almost like sushi. Instead of fish, it had Korean BBQ in it. There was a dipping sauce that was very sweet and tangy that knocked each bite out of the world. I ended up eating all of the pieces. It was addictive. Now, as I have said for so many other ethnic foods, I am no expert on Korean food. This stuff may not be anything like the real stuff served in Korea. I don't know, and I don't care. I loved every bit of it and will go back over and over to get more of it. At the same time, I will venture out to other Korean restaurants and experiment with other dishes, as well. read more

THE BULGOKI IS MINDBLOWING! Wow! I wasn't sure what to expect coming here for the first time with my love. My partner previously ate here and recommended we both go for lunch. We arrived on a Tuesday rather early around 11:30am and we were the first patrons to be seated and serviced. **FOOD** I ordered the Beef Bulkogi for $11.95 with cold sides. I had steamed sticky white rice, zucchini, and spicy kimchi. The Beef Bulkogi was marinated so well and very flavorful. It was my favorite for sure. I didn't quite care for the cold sides honestly. I never tried kimchi before and despite enjoying the texture and flavor I'm not sure I would order again if it's cold. Babe ordered the Soon Doo Boo for $11.95 also with sides. The sides were rice, sprouts, kimchi, and zucchini. Her food was beautifully plated and came out piping hot. She couldn't eat it all fast because it was so hot. Steam was coming from the bowl the entire time even down to putting the leftovers in the to-go container. She thoroughly enjoyed her meal also. **DRINKS** For drinks we ordered some alcoholic cocktails. Despite the menu saying frozen drinks are available they actually are not as we were advised they don't have a blender or the capacity to make frozen/blended drinks at that time. That was ok because I was in the mood for "on the rocks" margarita. I'm so happy I tried this because baby, it was soooo good! The flavor and alcohol was excellent! They definitely don't skimp on the alcohol in this drink! Babe had a Mango Magma Margarita which was advertised on the board when you first arrive. This drink was amazing too. Its sweet but hits subtly after with spice and a kick! Highly recommend both drinks! **PRICE** The price was very fair and reasonable. We ordered lunch portions but I was full prior to finishing everything on my plate. Babe took her food to go and was able to enjoy leftovers. I can only imagine what the dinner portions look like. **CLEANLINESS** The restaurant was very clean and we sat at a booth that presented no issues. There was fly or fruit fly flying around during our meal but it wasn't too annoying. I'm not sure how the restrooms were as we did not need to use them. However another patron used them and appeared pleased, with no complaints. Ohhh also, I love how on the outside of the restaurant looking in the windows are blacked out so you can't see inside but when you get inside they are bright, open and you can see out. Very cool feature. **SERVICE** First impressions are very important to me and let's just say the service was spot on! My initial impression was a great one. The host and server who took care of us was Ke'airra! She was absolutely phenomenal. She was very welcoming, friendly, attentive and helpful. She knew the menu well and was able to recommend some lunch options. I loved her honesty about whether she enjoyed a dish because to be honest at most places people lie and tell you they love everything and they actually don't! Ke'airra got our drink and food orders perfect. She didn't write anything down either. Her memory seems wonderful. She had such a beautiful, vibrant personality and really makes for a great first impression on this place!! I will definitely return and hope she is our server/host again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT! read more

Food was ok, service was not good. Waited for a server to come check on us for like 10-15 minutes but we needed to leave so I had to go and ask for to go boxes and ask how/where to pay. Three employees were just hanging out at the bar watching tv and talking, two of them were servers. I'm sorry, but if there's only two tables in your restaurant, you should be able to take care of them. read more

I have to admit I was expecting to be in a meh mood trying Kogi while in San Antonio but was pleasantly surprised. I already have my favorite Korean dishes in mind when I try a place and go to them to gauge everything. My brother and his wife ordered the Dukk (tteok) soup, and Bi Bim Bap. I haven't had Ja Jang Myeon in a long time so that's what I got after seeing it on the menu. We started with the Dukk Bok Gee (tteok bokki), a longtime favorite food. Kogi's Dukk Bok Gee was good, the texture of the rice cake was nice and chewy, the gochujang sauce nice and spicy. There weren't any fish cake, but plenty of onions in the dish, and maybe 10 pieces of tteok for almost $9! The price for the dish is very high if you've priced rice cake at your local Asian grocer. Thumbs down for quantity. The banchan was good, kimchi, cucumber kimchi, bean sprouts and tofu kimchi. The banchan came with my brothers Dukk soup, which was confusing as in most Korean restaurant's banchan isn't limited to what entree you're eating. My Ja Jang Myeon was good, even if it didn't take all day to make. It didn't taste pre-packaged to me and had a good flavor all the way around. The noodles were nice and chewy, one of the biggest draws for Ja Jang Myeon fans. There was a mixture of cabbage, zucchini and bites of pork, in the dark soy bean paste sauce. I wasn't disappointed with my dish and was happy to see the yellow pickled radish come out with my dish, no raw onions though which for purists would be a must. Our server was holding everything down on his own when we stopped in on a Sunday evening around 7, he was friendly and attentive without being overly absent or hovering. The space is in a pretty quiet strip mall type building, modern without much decor. According to a sign they are closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Overall, the food was good for an Asian/Korean Fusion place, I wouldn't be a regular but can say I've tried Kogi. read more

Unfortunately, the most mid food ever. The staff were the sweetest though, the service was great. Granted, we were the only people in there on a Friday night - but I thought I would try the Korean burger that was listed and was disappointed. I tried my best to finish it, but couldn't stand it anymore. The fries were fresh, my bun was cold and basically breaking apart, the bulgogi inside tasted like it was from the frozen section at a HEB and the fried egg tasted like it was made beforehand and not fresh- I WOULD NOT recommend the burger at all. I think it shouldn't be in the menu to be honest. read more

Kogi Korean Grill - Korean burger - Korean Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

My husband used to come here often because it was a place that was usually quiet with few customers. We came here on a Sunday evening for dinner, and it got busy quite quickly! Pros - Prices are quite cheap compared to most Korean restaurants in the area - We were served right away - Ample and spacious seating - Easy parking - Food came to us in a timely manner and the food portions were reasonable Cons - When seated, there were crumbs on the chair and scraps of food on the floor. The waiter had to sweep it up after we sat down... - My husband ordered tea, and our waiter served it in this tiny teacup with no teapot. Naturally, he finished it in 3 gulps and asked for more tea. It wasn't until we were halfway through our meal that our waiter brought him a full teapot - The kimchi chi gae tasted a little off. They kinda cheated and put in greens instead of kimchi in the soup which gave it an awkward taste - The galbi does NOT come on a sizzling plate like most Korean restaurants - You can only choose 3 bon chan plates to go with your entree If you're craving real authentic Korean food, this is NOT the place to go. I'd say that the food lacks quality, but it can satisfy your Korean craving if you're looking for a quick and cheap meal. read more

The food is cheap and very good. We had the lunch special which consisted of spicy pork bulkogi and spicy chicken bulkogi. Each dish was accompanied by steamed rice, kim chi, bean sprouts and 2 cheese puffs. The dishes were not over spiced and were very tasty. The waiter was especially friendly, made sure if we were enjoying our food and or if we needed anything else. His service was very down to earth and we enjoyed his service. The food is flavorful and excellent in quality and price. read more

Kogi Korean Grill - Stone Bim Bom with Beef - Korean Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This was the third time I have come here. Each time, it was ok. Not great, but not bad either. It had what I was craving, but never satisfying it completely. This visit was driven by the lunch specials they had. I'm not convinced they have great lunch deals. I ordered the bulgogi, but it was extremely salty. The kimchi side they brought me felt like it was on the verge of going bad. then finally the rice they gave me for my dish tasted old. On the flip side, my friend's dish was the bulgogi bibimbap. It was a few dollars more, but worldly different. It looked (and was) alot more satisfying than the one I got. It had the veggies, sides, etc in the stone pot. So if you do go here, I would highly recommend getting the bibimbap! read more

I've never been into the restaurant in person, so this review is for delivery only. We get delivery a lot from here, though. I love japchae and this place has it. So that's enough for me, lol. I particularly like the zucchini and egg side options. The bulgogi is not great. It's a little mealy and not very flavorful. But the beef on the steak and rice cake skewers is incredible. We get that and a side of rice, instead of the bulgogi. Overall, a solid delivery option. read more

I've come here a few times and I like the food every time. I don't know why every time I come here there's always only 2 tables occupied.

Overall, highly recommend! read more

Amazing traditional Korean food. The people who work here are so nice and greet you immediate upon entering. They know their menu and what to offer as well as some complimentary barley tea which was great on this cold Texas day. I ordered the spicy chicken bulgolgi which I know may not be traditional but I love chicken. I have tried the pork and it is also delicious. 10/10 recommend. Looks like a family owned business, come support local! read more

Love love love love this place we go all the time, the waitstaff are awesome always very attentive! The Korean cuisine is always top notch! I love their banchan (side dishes that accompany the entrees) if you're curious about Korean food I highly recommend this little spot to try. The chef knows what they are doing and never disappoints. The food is not expensive and you get huge portions. One thing i recommended as an appetizer is the kimbap it is so fresh and the perfect little bite before a meal. Also highly recommend any of the soups . They all hit the spot on any day. Not crazy spicy and oh so flavorful read more

Had the opportunity to have a meal here. At first, from the outside, looked like the place was closed with minimal lighting and signs. Once inside, there were maybe two other tables filled. We ordered the spicy rice cakes and the seafood pancake that was like nothing we've ever had. It tasted okay only the seafood wasn't mixed in and the sauce on the tobohki didn't hit the mark. The seafood on the pancake was tossed on top. The spicy pork soup was good only the pork meat was shredded. Again, like nothing we've ever had but was good. My daughter ordered a stew dish but wasn't impressed. I think this place was fair based on their version of Korean food. The service was good and the ambiance was okay. Not sure if we will return again. read more

Good service, good food. I tried their beef soon doo boo (Korean beef stew) it was very good. I was surprised they didn't ask me how spicy I wanted it. But it was no issue as I asked the waiter to make it more spicy than they usually make it. It came out perfect. The order came with 3 small dishes (banchan) of your choice on the side, as well as white rice read more

A nice little Korean restaurant with decent Korean food. I went here on a Saturday afternoon after the lunch rush with relatives, and it was empty with plenty of seating. The bibimbap was tasty and came with the side dishes of vegetables and kimchi. Our family shared a 16 piece Korean fried chicken, which was perfectly crisp and had the right amount of sweetness! It was no Bonchon, but definitely satisfactory Korean fried chicken! It seemed a little Americanized for me, and I felt other Korean restaurants in San Antonio were more ethnic. But overall the food was good and the servings were big. The waiters were nice and attended to you quickly. Did not have a bad experience here at all, but overall was ok for me. read more

The food was amazing and our server gabby was even better.

The rice isn't great tho. I thought I was eating a candle lol. But everything else was bomb. Ramen on my next visit! read more

Not authentic, but it's enough to curb a taste for Korean food. Good portion sizes at a decent prices. The menu lacks tradition, it's more of a Korean fusion of sorts. The Bulgogi street tacos were tasty as was the Moscow mule (either it had fresh ginger muddled in it, or they have some super amazing ginger beer)! I would go again in a pinch, but I wouldn't choose it first. In my opinion they have a lot of room for improvement, but overall I think it's worth giving one more chance! read more

Place was clean, bathrooms were decent. Server was attentive and great. The food was the issue. Unfortunately the kimchi was bad. I'm very familiar with Korean cooking and it was no good. We ordered spicy pork and beef bulgogi. It was ok. Nothing amazing but not terrible. I wouldn't come back. It was all underwhelming and didn't seem fresh.

This is the first time I'm visiting this restaurant. I went during a normally active time for restaurants; however this place was completely empty. I was the only customer. The weird thing is the fact that despite being the only customer and hence source of food order, it took them more than 30 minutes to get my dish to me. On top of that, I ordered the hot pot soup. I regularly eat at Korean restaurants and in every restaurant I've been to, there is an elaborate explanation of each dish. The waiter failed to notify me that they put an egg in the hot pot soup (was listed as a side option but not in the original dish). I'm severely allergic to egg, so thank God I was able to catch it before I ate it. The waiter didn't fight to remake the soup though, so there was proper etiquette there. The soup is flavorless (missing salt) and also the soup base is normally soybean paste, but it seemed that this one was broth based. The sides were okay. The kimchi radish was really good, but the kimchi was too sour. And the bean sprouts were dry and flavorless. I recommend that management rework their menu to truly reflect traditional Korean food (as this is what this restaurant is claiming to be). I do not recommend this place to individuals who are looking for authentic Korean food. read more

First timer here so had to try a bit of a few items on the menu. Entrees get 3 sides of banchan. 2x bulgogi Duk bokkee(chewy rice cakes in spicy sauce) Kimbab(Korean sushi roll- all cooked) Kimchi stew Jajangmyeon(black bean Korean/Chinese noodle dish) All to go. Really, really wanted to love this place because it's pretty close but honestly, I'm hard out to give it the 2 stars. Price is great, bulgogi portions are small for a dinner. Meat tasted like it was cooked, cooled, recooked - you get the picture. Kimchi stew- watery-you need to use more fermented kimchi for stew. Jajangmyeon -noodles shouldn't be an over cooked fettuccine like noodle. The sauce was decent but not enough to cover for those noodles- for a to go, wouldn't you put those separately? Kimbab. Come on guys, let's not be lazy with the knife- I had to recut- no worries, these were not up to par either. The rice cakes were the only thing we ate a quarter of, and the service was very nice, hence the 2nd star-we ended up going to get Marcos pizza. Lest we forget- the kimchi was blah, the cucumber side dish was even worse- old. read more
