I visited Gogi Friends recently after seeing a post on their Instagram about a discount for…read morehealthcare workers. When we arrived, we mentioned it to the staff and showed them the post, and they were happy to apply the discount to our check. The food here is fantastic. The variety of Korean side dishes were all delicious. We ordered the soybean paste soup, corn cheese, and steamed eggs, and each one was spot on. In addition to the menu items, they have a buffet area with different types of food to choose from. The thinly sliced brisket was good quality as well. The service was incredibly quick and our server came by frequently to check on us and see if we needed to order anything else or if we were doing okay.

I came here on a Friday after work for dinner. I have many memories at this particular location all…read morethe way back to when it was a different restaurant (Heebeen) and multiple other restaurants have recycled through. The layout has actually stayed the same throughout the years. Gogi Friends has a really good deal on Korean BBQ in the NoVA area. With the basic AYCE option, you still get to order 1 piece of premium meat per person. Meat quality isn't premium like Ingle or Meokja, but it is passable. They have unlimited sides and limited buffet type of foods available. I thought everything was good especially the small kimchi pancake. The brisket was quite good along with the marinated short rib. Those two types of meats were all I tried and honestly that is all you need. The grills had to be changed after every round of meat, but the workers were very quick about replacing it. Their corn cheese, egg, and soup were also pretty good. The restaurant can hold a decent number of people and large groups as well as smaller groups. They had a special discount for healthcare and military workers for 10% off. Basically, covers the tax. Service was also good and quick. At the end, they gave a small ice cream. I would come back again as this is a good deal in this area for a $36/person dinner. Lunch is $25 per person during weekdays 11 am -3 pm. Lunch on weekends and holidays for $28/person.

Even came here to celebrate after my wife swore the oath of citizenship to celebrate. The prices have since become unaffordable, the wait for pickups are understated (had to wait 15 min past my most recent pickup time), and our order wasn't complete. They're understaffed and with food coming out at different times Plus the area isn't the safest and has terrible traffic. Maybe invest less in takeout-bag quality and more in you staffing/quality?

Plenty of parking on the left side of the bldg, tons of available seating. Hostess/waitress was a hoot; very friendly. Suggested several dim sum items. Samosas (4, $12) had a nice crispiness and a thinner dough than one usually finds in samosas. Would get again. The duck roll (2, $13) is filled with crispy duck and scallions. Would also get again. Mango cashew slaw ($11) has a nice spicy warmth to it. The Chinese chive dumplings (2, $6) had a nice crunch. We also got a beer ($9). A nice canned and bottled beer selection. We also got the Thai beignets dessert. 3-4 dim sum items is a full meal for a couple unless you're *really* hungry. Will definitely return. You should go. Now.

I ordered the City Burger with sautéed mushrooms and onions, and whew... this was a good burger. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right so every bite felt intentional. The toppings were perfectly sautéed, adding that extra depth without overpowering the meat. The hand-cut fries deserve their own shout-out--crispy, golden, and delicious. You can always tell when fries are actually cut in-house, and these definitely passed the test. Fat Cat Kitchen is a great stop when you're craving a quality burger with no frills, just flavor. I'll be back to explore more of the menu!

Today, we were greeted quickly and warmly and shown to a table. My Dad had a huge burger, which he said was good. My sister had the Gumbo- I tasted it and it was delicious! My Caribbean chicken and shrimp would've been delicious, but the chicken was way way too salty! The shrimp and beans and rice were both good. I'm so glad I ordered the sauce on the side because it ratcheted up the salt level to briny. Our server was adequate. The dining room is in a sort of weird U-shaped to me, but and spaced to serve. The friendly Manager stopped by our table to give my little niece a toy, and check on our experience. Our food hadn't come yet, so I didn't share that I didn't enjoy my meal. Even though I didn't enjoy the dish I had, I probably come back to try the burger.

Someone asked why he had to pay full price plus service charge for something he received extremely late, and the response was that he got his water for free. We asked to speak to the manager and sadly he was too busy to address the issue. Not sure if this just a common practice up north but we didn't like the treatment of our coworker. We decided we would try another recommended spot, hopefully with better service.

It's fast, convenient, healthy and never busy! (They seem to do more take-out business). But I'm happy to grab a seat here. The decor here is quite interesting. There are so many inspirational signs. I dont know where people find their "Live, Laugh, Love" signs but they've hit the jackpot on it. And they provide a lot of amusement while eating! There are also funny signs about not being drunk here - various bar signs even though it's not a bar. My go-to orders here are pad see ew with beef and extra Chinese broccoli and a singha beer. My wife gets the same but with tofu or drunken noodles. I love the silverware that they have here. They're gold forks and knives, and heavy! They feel so luxe. My friends often order the Thai ice tea or coffee and they rave about those drinks, too. I usually cap my meal with a mango sticky rice. It's one of my favorite desserts of all time! In my recent order, the dessert came with green pandan rice and crispy bits on top! Always so good.
