Amazing food!! Gotta try the galbi and jumuelleok! Served with a charcoal grill with tasty sides! ONLY 2 PLACES IN CHICAGO SERVES CHARCOAL GRILL AND THIS IS...

Owners are so nice! I've been going to Gogi for years. The marinated galbi is so tender and yummy! Definitely get the pork belly or veal intestine.

It was empty when we got there and we were told it was typically empty before 7pm. Ordered the bulgogi and the brisket and beef bibimbap. We’ve tried Korean food previously and particularly Korean bbq, but this just wasn’t it. The brisket came out frozen, and there’s no grease on the grill so the meat ended up hard and dry like it was boiled. And didn’t taste like anything. We were offered sesame oil, hot sauce, sweet and sour sauce and soy sauce but none of those helped. When we complained they did take it away and off our order. The bulgogi tasted a little better than the brisket but still had a boiled texture. The bibimbap was the best thing of the lot and came with a flavorful hot sauce. All in all a disappointing experience and don’t think we’d go back

Love their galbi! I really like the fact that they use charcoal to cook the galbi. So yummy!!

This was my first Korean BBQ experience and I was left feeling a bit disappointed. We asked what they recommended for first-timers and ended up with a marinated chicken and marinated steak. I had looked forward to cooking my own meats and having a variety of sauces to dip in and eat with rice and veggies. However, they cooked the meats for us at the table and it didn't really have any sauces. The traditional Korean sides and rice were the main sides. It was delicious but just felt like we were missing some sauces and more vegetables. I also saw other tables cooking their own food and with a variety of different heating elements so maybe we need to try it again and ask different questions to get the right dish. For that reason, still a 4/5 for me.
