Kogi Gogi BBQ - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing, primarily due to the food quality. The meat was quite poor and frankly unappetizing. I would not recommend this establishment if you're considering the all-you-can-eat option.

¡Delicioso! The food is delicious. The service is very good, everyone is very friendly. My experience was excellent, especially with the children. They have special seats, and they even played my daughter's favorite video because they noticed she liked the song. The atmosphere was rated 5, and the service and food were also rated 5. The noise level was loud, but you could still talk. The price per person is $30–50, and the wait time was up to 10 minutes.

My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, despite being a bit pricey. The food was amazing, truly the highlight of the visit. Service was also excellent, described as great service and it was quick. The atmosphere was rated a 5, with a moderate noise level. However, parking can be hard to find depending on the time of arrival. A notable point is that you will be charged for extra leftover food, even the little sides that are already included. Despite these minor drawbacks, I would still come back the next time I’m in town.

My experience at this restaurant was amazing. The food was awesome, with the meat being top-tier and perfectly seasoned. Our hosts, Inmy and Kevin, were great and made us feel like family. I highly recommend enjoying a great meal here.

This was my first KBBQ experience, and my friend took over the cooking. The staff was very friendly and attentive. They proactively cleared out the grill gates and adjusted the heat as needed without us having to ask. I would definitely try this again 💖.

I absolutely LOVED my experience at Kogi Gogi! I highly recommend this restaurant, especially for those in the San Francisco area. The food was great, and the staff went above and beyond. They even extended closing time just for my group! A huge shout out to the entire staff of Kogi Gogi for their exceptional service.

My experience at Kogi Gogi BBQ in San Francisco was a mix of good and bad. The food was undeniably tasty and flavorful, and the staff were friendly and worked hard to accommodate the many guests. However, a significant issue with the grill plates greatly impacted our meal. The grill grate had to be replaced at least 10 times because it would immediately turn black from burning as soon as the meat touched it. Despite mentioning this to the staff, we were told it was normal, which is contrary to my experiences at other tabletop grill restaurants. This persistent burning on the grill surface was not only off-putting but also raised concerns about potential health implications, something the restaurant should address to maintain high standards.

My experience at Kogi Gogi Korean BBQ was disappointing compared to other Korean BBQ restaurants. The restaurant was very smokey. The meats were not very flavorful; they tasted bland, as if the marinade was pure blandness. While the servers were polite and pleasant, the older gentleman behind the register seemed more interested in us leaving. He turned off the table grill twice, even when there was still uncooked meat on the table. I believe there are better Korean BBQ options in San Francisco.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's hands down the best KBBQ in SF. The restaurant is quite small, so be prepared for a potential wait, especially during peak hours. However, there are plenty of shops nearby to explore while you wait. Parking can be limited, particularly on nights and weekends. They offer a weekday special that provides excellent value for money. Given the intimate size of the place, I recommend visiting with a group of no more than six people, as larger parties might find it challenging to get seated. The food is top-notch with a wide variety of options. You absolutely must try their steamed egg—it's a personal favorite. They recently introduced a new beef rib that is delicious, though it does take a while to cook. The servers are friendly, but their attentiveness could be improved. Even on a relatively quiet Tuesday evening, it was difficult to flag down a server when we wanted to order more meat. Overall, I highly recommend this place for small groups looking to enjoy AYCE KBBQ.

My experience at this restaurant was excellent all around. The all you can eat selection was on point, especially the RIBS 🤤, along with all the sides. I recommend coming hungry, as this place won’t disappoint. Kevin and his unc took good care of us. I will definitely be back for more.
