Gogi Time

it was tough to enjoy the food when every single one of the grills we got had soap residue on it :( everything had a slightly soapy flavor . we even mentioned it to the server but all the grills were still like this

Wasn’t sure what to expect because hadn’t had Korean BBQ in this area, but it turned out a great experience. First thing I noticed is they’re very nice. Very welcoming. That sets the tone. Next thing I noticed is they have a fairly large rectangular grill which is better than the circles I usually see. And they are fast about changing the grill expeditiously as it gets gunked up with the sauces. It’s spacious and yet urban nice inside. Perhaps a little dark but different strokes for different folks. We were in the side room which was darker. About $40 for the all you can eat, which I would recommend. You get two appetizers and four meats at a time. Also can get a couple sides and/or veggies. Good selection of meats. And the meats are GOOD portion size. And good thickness. Excellent soup and sides. Specifically the tofu soup. Softener kinds of rice. All goodness. You will leave here full of you get the all you can eat. Parking lot is a little odd. Slotted, angled spaces; so you need to back out to the street to exit. But at least they have a posting lot at all! Better than street parking.

Just as every review says, this place is awesome! I love Korean BBQ and it’s all you can eat, Need I say more! You do cook the food yourself which is just a fun experience with everyone. The short ribs and the kimchi pancakes were probably my favorite thing we got. We also got the garlic pork belly, shrimp, brisket, sirloin.. pretty much everything on the menu. Everything was fantastic. The service was amazing as well. We never felt like we were missing food or was waiting for more. They also come around change out your burner top so it’s always clean. If you really need convincing and your not just sure. Just walk in front of the building and you’ll be convinced by the amazing aroma of Korean BBQ food!

We had a blast and the food was so delicious it was hard not to let my eyes be bigger than my stomach! Grill was changed out consistently and there were plenty of options on the All You Can Eat Menu. The playlist of music being played was the perfect addition to the good time we were having. I would totally recommend this place for the food experience, it's not the fanciest or trendiest on the inside but we still had a blast and left more full than on Thanksgiving lol.

Such a classic KBBQ place along Telegraph! I’ve been here quite a few times and it’s always got good service and good meats (and sundubu jjigae as a soup lover!!). It’s always a good time at this place and you can’t really go wrong with so many options and the fact that it’s all you can eat!

All you can eat for $32. Short ribs are the best. Their banchan is also excellent. Staff are friendly and attentive, we never had to wait to order more meat. The only areas of improvement would be brighter lighting (when it gets dark), providing wet wipes or more napkins from the start (grilling is a messy process), and cleaner restrooms. But the service and the food was great, so I'm still giving a 5 star review.

Me and my 2 daughters (1 is only 12yrs) stop by here for some good eats, unfortunately I was disappointed in so many things at this restaurant. #1 the prices did not match the quality of food. Sides were mediocre, bagolgi & galbi not marinaded, i was charged $5 for a Shirley temple, and unbeknownst to us there was no refill so 2 cups of syrup soda for $10! Had this been the best flavored korean bbq I've ever had id prolly have less to say, but after paying $198 the included a gratuity of $25 i left pissed. Why do we add a gratuity to a party of 3?! Service was fine, food not so much.

This place is the quintessential Korean BBQ joint. Definitely not to be enjoyed alone. One other person will do but the more the merrier. The spicy pork is out of this world, the cucumber salad sauce amplifies everything. The staff is very friendly and attentive and you get what you pay for. Not cheap but absolutely an experience. Great place for a celebration or if you just like playing with your food 😄

Went climbing at Pacific Pipe and our group felt like eating kbbq so I called ahead to ask at 9 pm if they were able to accommodate our party of 10 and they were able to and they did with superb customer service! Our server was prompt, caring and attentive. The managers Dave and Mike went above and beyond with making sure we were taken care of and that we had all the time we needed to enjoy our meal which was much appreciated from our group as I understand coming with such a big party near closing can be a big deal. Spent a good deal drinking and eating and they were surprised we were leaving earlier than they expected even though it was already past closing time haha. Great customer service and quality of meat and overall amazing time! Reggae music in the background was a banger fyi Beef Belly is the go to here and best to eat with the cheese dip!

Very interesting spot. Came here for the first time with friends and from the look of it they looked like they were closed down - don't be fooled they are open, but their front parking was closed off. We were seated right away which was great. Downsides - - Took a very long time for our meats/food to come out every time we ordered. There were only a couple people inside so not sure if it was a staffing issue - We had a party of 5 and the table we sat at had plenty of space but only one burner/grill to the side on the table so it was awkward so we had to place all the dishes on one side of the table while cooking on the other Overall it was ok, the food was decent, but the wait time and the layout of the table was not for our group. I would not go out of my way to come here, but if invited by friends I would give it another try.

Seriously. Delicious. Great service! Was driving home from a concert and yelped for recs on a place nearby to eat. Totally random. Sooooo glad I found this place. For those living in this area you are lucky to have easy access to it. For those passing through late at night who found this.... I will be thinking about it a lot u til I can get back! Friendly, great prices $40 all you can eat is an amazing deal! So good!!!!

Delicious. Great service. Table was a little small for everything but oh well! Lol. Really good drinks, good music, parking in a fenced lot with a guy at the door keeping watch which I appreciated as the area is a little iffy. Bartender even gave us a free round!

The food great , the service even better and Michelle was the best. Everyone try this place up and turn up

Came to this restaurant for a friends birthday and throughly enjoyed myself. We came on a Sunday night. While we were expecting a crazy wait, we were immediately sat and introduced to various sides offered. Our waitress and the staff in general were really nice and great in servicing our time. We ordered off the unlimited menu. I was so happy with the various choices of meats that we had the option to select from. It's actually one of the few Korean bbq places I have been to that had about 3-4 different types of seasoned chicken which was great for a friend who didn't eat beef or pork. The overall restaurant was a vibe. The music was great if you are into R&B and hip hop. It was also very clean. If I'm back in the Oakland area, I will definitely be back.

Korean food AYCE BBQ with ok flavors, but lacking any hinderance of Korean culture. Dirty, from the tables to the bathrooms to the ceilings, this place has not seen a deep cleaning in years. the ventilation is definitely subpar, and isn't moving near enough air to be in any way healthy. and the place is packed. 4tops, 8tops, 10tops.. its actually mystifying. our server just disappeared during our end of meal and we waited 15min but No-one ever brought the check. You guys really need to take the whole crew and derp clean together once a month at the minimum. there is multiple years of soot and dust on the ceilings. the food was ok. bulgogi ok not great. chicken same, shortrib same. the potato banchan was old and withered but the rest of the banchans were ok. but no where near great. and the cleanliness factor really throws me off. sorry guys. clean it up...

The food was amazing and the service was great. This was the first Korean BBQ I've been to and I will continue to go back. If you love your proteins this is the place for you. The ambiance was great with really good music that was too loud. I never had to shoot to be heard.

6/28/23 As we walked in....... as we stepped over the threshold, threads of smoke snaked into our nostrils, and through the darkness a dingie dungie den appeared through wisps and larger clouds of smoke. And then visions of 80's Vegas casinos wafted about my eyes, the addicted sitting in front of bj tables and slot machines smoking cigarette after cigarette, begging tobacco tycoons to take their money........ My 4month old baby girl almost died from suffocation. ...................... but she survived! And you can too. The galbi is thicker than most AYCE places' with actually a very good balance of marinade to toughness, the potstickers are EPICALLY fried... GAME CHANGER ALERT!!!-........... they got... CHEEEEEEEEEEESSSSE!!!!!!! Like as in, as a side. You ask and they plop an aluminum cub on your BBQ with I think a mixture of spicy nacho cheese and cheddar....... and OMFG it's AMAZING. I ate with dumplings. With galbi. With corn on the cob. I LOVED it so much I ordered it 4 times!--more than any other separate dish! Gonna give them props! Up to you if you think cheese is worth the lung cancer. It might be. 4/5 #kbbq #aycekbbq #koreanbbq #aycekoreanbbq #oakland #kopreancheese #cheesebbq #cheesemeat

This place is a frequent stop for my fiancé and I. We really enjoy the all you can eat meal. My review is particularly for the drinks. The menu has recently had an upgrade and let me tell you...woah. We were introduced to the watermelon lychee cocktails as well as the lychee grenadine shot. Both were fresh, crisp, and not too sweet--a perfect complement to the savory and fresh dishes we love. I highly encourage you all to try these drinks and let me know if you like them!

Came here in a Wednesday night close to their closing hours and it was just us and one table! So service was especial and fast. Their last call was 1020 pm. Lady server was on point! She gave us everything we want and she was super nice. All other servers were fast too!

Came for a birthday dinner, everything we tried was amazing! The service was great, our waiter Tyler was phenomenal! He was super kind and patient helping us sort through the menu and providing suggestions as needed!

Second time here! I love how the menu is standardized and you don't need to choose 'prime' or levels, it's so easy for people like me who doesn't like to make decisions. Service is really good here, act fast and extremely helpful. Arrived here really early and didn't need to wait, it's better to arrive when it first opens. Meat is alright and I like the variety of side dishes, appetizers and desserts. Good value too!

AYCE kbbq and sides for $35 in downtown Oakland. Not too bad! Right on telegraph. Parking isn't the best here so be prepared for that. I love that the sides are also included. I didn't picture everything we ate. But it was pretty decent for the price. Galbi was my favorite.

3-4 stars It's a love and hate relationship here. Sometimes the meat is great and sometimes it's not. For the price point it's OKAAAAAY. $38/person Only thing worth it is the beef belly. Nice fat to meat ratio! The service varies each time I come here. Some days it's amazing and some days it sucks. It doesn't even matter how busy they are. Would I wait for this place? No. Not more than 20 minutes.

Decent AYCE bbq. Best cuts were sirloin and short rib. Not really a fan of the corn cheese, I'm used to the traditional corn cheese, we were served corn with half melted cheese on top. Gyoza was good and the steam egg was good also.

We love the food at Goji time. One of my 8 year foodies favorite spots. Fun is fun, flavorful and warm. Korean with that modern twist. Son loves the Goji fried chicken and I tend to lean towards the pot options. This place consistently has a line to wait to eat. Establishment is on the smaller side but does it's best to get tables and not cram them together. I always opt for dishes than come with Ban Chan as they have a good varied selection and refill when asked. Son enjoys his chicken, not super crisp but good texture on the outside that lends well to the moist chicken inside. My only complaint about Goji time is that they get so busy that often the dishes come staggered, one person may get their entree and the other waits 10-15 minutes at the same table. They occasionally forget to bring dishes so they have to be reminded. Employees are so sweet and apologetic that this is not a dig to them, it's just that the sheer volume of people and dishes make it hard to keep up. Despite the wait and the delays we will continue to keep coming back because they food is one of my sons favorites and the staff is so great!

This has been on my drafts forever so I don't have the gist of every single dish. But I can say this was one of the better kbbq places I've been to in the the entire bay for ayce. All the meats were on point along with the bonchan. Service was great despite us sitting outside but the vibes were much better imo than inside. Some of their sides like lobster balls, japchae and corn cheese were just what we needed to get back on our feet. Can't go wrong with this place. If You're craving kbbq in Oakland, this is the spot to go.

Really great experience. We've been there several times. Nice people, delicious food, simple price structure, etc. Very slightly noisier than we would like, but it's a popular place so what can I say? :-)

Overall this is one of the best and most affordable Korean BBQ restaurants you will find ANYWHERE in the Bay Area. They have a wide variety of meats, sides, etc. One such side is TOFU SOUP. When you order tofu soup they ask how spicy you want it. We said normal. Later, we get the tofu soup. It tastes like water. Literal water. Not exaggerating as if it "wasn't very seasoned", but legit water (it still had the right color). They did not add salt / fish sauce / soy sauce or whatever savory flavor is supposed to go in it. Yet it looked like a normal bowl of tofu soup. We had four people at the table (all with different taste buds and spice tolerances) try the soup and all said it tasted like water. Some believe it was water. Pure unadulterated water. And I'm not some "new" person who has never eaten tofu soup before. I am literally Asian, and know that tofu soup is Soon dubu jigae (순두부찌개). So we tell the server that this soup is literally water (even though keep in mind it looks "normal"), and she goes "Yea it's a SOUP". I'm like????? It has no SALT. So she takes it back to the kitchen and comes back and tells us, "The kitchen staff said you guys must have 'crazy strong' taste buds", and I was beside myself. I don't know if anyone even reads these reviews, or cares, but whoever cares about running a restaurant properly needs to be aware that if FOUR separate people tell you the soup tastes like water, you need to have someone try it to confirm because it was simply unbelievable. So unbelievable none of the staff or "kitchen" help bothered to confirm it. You cannot run a restaurant and serve soup that looks like soup, but tastes like water, then insist to people that it's actually flavored. It was NOT flavored. Nevertheless besides the random "commentary" by the server, she did an excellent job, came around to refill our orders frequently, and even asked us if we wanted a replacement. We emphatically said no because what would we do if we get another steaming bowl of "tofu soup" and it tastes like water again? Tell her it tastes like water, not be believed, and then get charged for it? In this economy? All in all, Gogi Time is still an excellent restaurant. I am still giving five stars because I've come here 3 times since c*vid and the meats, fried tofu, pot stickers, and everything has been perfect and delicious. Except this time the tofu soup. The literal water tofu soup that no one believed was water. Also, I am surprised the price is $37. In this economy I would expect AYCE to be $60-70 per person, especially in Oakland where the cost of doing business is astronomical.

5 stars all the way!! It's been 3.5 years since my wife has been pushing us to come here. She's always mentioned this place but we didn't seem to ever find the time. Last night was that very moment. We came during dinner opening at 5pm and we had an incredible time. First off their service is impeccable; they are helpful and very fast on their feet. They continue to make sure everyone is having a good time and checking for more orders and refills. I love how each table already has 2 bottles of the brisket sauce and sesame oil. They also have salt in the table already to give the meat some flavor. The Bonchon is perfect! It's served in this large tray with big portions; my favorite is the pickled jalapeño. The fact that they already have a pitcher of iced water in the table is a plus! We don't have to call for refills frequently. I don't understand why most Korean bbq places do this exact setup?? It's more efficient, clean, and less time consuming. The meats are fresh and top quality. We loved the LA Kalbi and it's fatty texture and sweet marinade. I'm a huge fan of their pork cheeks, brisket, hot links, and garlic pork belly. Our favorite sides are the cheesy corn and steamed egg. You can choose up to 4 meats and 4 appetizers at a time which is awesome. The rice bowls are a must when eating everything! The food is high quality and all seasoned/marinaded to perfection. I can't stop raving about this place! I've missed out for a while but I'm finally here and here to stay. Forget about Gen BBQ and it's poor service and quality. It's all about Gogi Time. The service and food is an A+. There are no complaints whatsoever. We'll be back again!

Came here late one evening. Cos you know if you get hungry late at night, you can always get good eats in K-town! The place was packed even at 9pm. We didn't want a full AYCE so we opted for a few entrees a la carte. Got the kimchi fried rice which came with a poached egg on top, and the seafood soft tofu stew. The stew came with a choice of white or purple rice so of course we got the purple rice. And it all started with the customary banchan appetizers. Banchan wasn't the best and was served in a tray but it was adequate. Both the fried rice and soft tofu stew were awesome, large servings and packed with ingredients. So we got a fried pancake to go and it was also great the next day. Gonna have to come back and try the AYCE cos it looked pretty good! And final cherry topping -- it has its own private parking lot which helps late at night in these parts.

One of the OG AYCE Kbbq spots. I've been coming here for years! Recommend doing lunch or reserve ahead of time-- the dinner rush gets really crazy. Staff are always friendly and attentive. Each table has its own grill with a pair of tongs and scissors. IMO, their AYCE menu is better than their a la carte one, it's a more reasonable deal. You can order whatever amount of appetizers, stews, veggies, and sides, but meats can only be 3 at a time; presumably to avoid food waste by overambitious customers lol. Their meats are great quality & delectably fatty. Marinades aren't bad, either. Some of my favorites: - GARLIC PORK BELLY - GARLIC SESAME PORK BELLY - GALBI - BEEF BELLY - BANCHAN - CORN CHEESE - SOFT TOFU STEW NOTE: They don't have a sauce station... Tables just have brisket sauce and sesame oil. You can ask for the sauces on their menu and mix to your heart's delight, but it's not the same and not nearly as diverse as other places.

Came here late on a Tuesday night right before closing and the food was very average. Usually my friends and I love beef brisket but the brisket here was very dry. The selection of sides was great and we mostly filled up on those. The corn cheese wasn't as good as other places -- most of the corn burnt onto the hot plate. Service was okay but they were kind to let us stay until closing instead of rushing us out. However, we thought last call was at 10:30 but it was actually closer to 10. Nobody was there besides us so ambiance was pretty dead but that's normal for a Tuesday night.

Come on brother!!!!! My last review I gave 4 stars even though I had some mediocre dishes but it was a good time! I should've known it was gonna go downhill when my server didn't card me when I got 2 bottles of soju. As a bartender wow you are bold sis Anyway we get these grills laid down and I'm staring like am I seeing some type of voodoo what is goin on??? But I was browsing through new reviews and seen someone with the same problem. I got my grill changed twice and it was still bubbling. Omg I am here starving trying to give the benefit of the doubt so for this to happen twice girl I wasn't bout to try again Thank god my bf is nice and waived down a waiter to tell them that we're going to just pay for our drinks because I woulda complained til the sun came up (or until they closed) The main reason I wanted to eat here was because of the beef belly. They have amazing quality meats but today when I came I was like ooohh they cutting corners lol plastic spoons don't bother me unless I get terrible service After downing my soju I'm on the way to Ohgane in alameda I suggest y'all take your coins there til they solve the bubble problem cuz I never seen no grill do that Ever

Great food great service. The short ribs is amazing. I always enjoy myself when I come here. All the sides in the protein selections are amazing. Will be back.

they allow solo dining for AYCE bbq! something to appreciate when i want to chow down by myself :) most places in the area only offer AYCE bbq to minimum party of 2

MY FAVORITE AYCE KOREAN BBQ Even though I live in the city, I make time to drive all the way to the East Bay in Oakland just to eat at this Korean BBQ. I don't even know why I'm just now writing a review about this place, since I've been here countless of times, but I completely recommend it to anyone and everyone! Ambiance: 5/5 There are on-street parking and a parking lot behind the complex. There are also plenty of seating inside, some in the back, the front, and the side of their open-concept restaurant. Since they have TVs surrounding the dining area, it's the perfect place if you're craving some AYCE Korean BBQ while watching sports. It's usually busy and clearly smoky in there, but it's never an issue. Service: 5/5 Service has always been fast with their attentive staff keeping everything going. The waiters/waitresses usually come by and ask if you need anything multiple times during your visit, especially to make sure you get the food you ordered or to monitor if your grill is burnt and need to be replaced. Food: 5/5 This place has an extensive selection of appetizers and meats. My absolute favorite appetizers are the Cheese Corn, Lobster Balls, Japchae, and Fish Pancakes. All the meats are marinated but pair well with the additional sauces that they offer. In addition to the wide array of appetizers and meats, there's also seafood, vegetables, and soup options to choose from. You certainly will be full and satisfied every time you walk out their doors!

I came here with a party of 6 and we were seated fairly quickly. The staff was so accommodating and regularly checked up on us. Everything we ordered tasted amazing and they even have boba and other items for dessert! There's a private parking lot in the back that typically has security. Overall, definitely an underrated spot among kbbq places in the area.

Gogi time is probably the best KBBQ in the Bay Area. Reasonably price, the sides and appetizers are amazing. Parking could get a bit tough during prime hours, but definitely worth it!

Never had a chance to leave a review and I am now finding out you're closing due to housing development.

Gogi Time used to be the spot if you wanted both AYCE hot pot and Korean BBQ, now they only offer either a la carte or AYCE KBBQ. There is a small parking lot in the back of the restaurant with security, so your car is more safe and secured unlike before when you either park in the small parking lot in front or park on the street and risk at broken window (there was always someone in my group that ended up with a broken window on each of our visits). They have a good variety of appetizers, soups/stews, rice/noodles, and other sides you may choose from if you want. I feel like they used to have more meat options. I did AYCE KBBQ because I thought I was more hungry, but honestly a la carte would had been better - I ended up filling up on the appetizers/soups/rice, etc. instead of the meats like I should had. The meat quality was okay compared to before.

Was hesitant to actually go here but we decided to try it out. Ohhhh boy! Amazing food! Great service. Will comeback with the entire family

Going to Gogi was my first time ever eating Korean BBQ. Could not have asked for a better first time. Gogi is what I would describe as a whole in a wall restaurant. Very simple, nasty bathrooms, but wonderful food and their staff actually behaves like humans and not paid robots. What I mean by that is they were friendly, helpful, insightful as well as direct. For example the server we had said, "She could tell this was me and my girlfriend's first time there because we didnt eat alot. She said people typically stay there for 2-3 hours." With that comment I will be going back with my game face on and my stomach ready. And probably a larger group. All in all Gogi is awesome.

We have gone to Gigi Time since it opened. Likely 10x. We took out of town guests last night and were very disappointed. It was horrible. It appears that the place has been taken over by new management who are not Korean and cooks who either have no clue or who have been instructed to pretend to make things that look Korean. None of the food was truly Korean. Everything tasted the same with someOdd sweet red sauce and had little flavor. Banchon included salads and tasteless Kim chi. Including the salad of lettuce and tomatoes and other items that are not Korean. Meats, while plentiful were hardly marinated. Service was good but at $40 per person? Forget about this place. I was embarrassed and angry and highly recommend that you cross this place off the list. By the way, the little shrimp were served with shells in place, not de-veined and tasted like they had been in a freezer for years. We left them on the plate after gagging. The seafood pancake was served undercooked and was greasy. Need I say more ?

No frills kbbq restaurant. The staff is always nice and they have a great AYCE option. Sometimes I'll come here by myself just for the spicy pork belly. The menu is pretty vast and it's worth the money.

We love the food and prompt service! We even celebrated my daughter's 7th birthday there, and they were very accommodating with the cake and festivities.

I had dinner with my girlfriends here and we had an awesome time! Stayed until closing....a good 4 hours! The food and drinks were all on point!!! And we had the best waitress! I will be back

Had a wonderful dinner tonight with 4 friends! Made reservations in advance and were seated right away. We all got the AYCE, and it didn't disappoint. The service was amazing, which is important with KBBQ. We all remarked at how quickly we went from first sitting down with no food/drinks to all of the sudden ALL the food and ALL the drinks. It was like a kings banquet! Servers checked in regularly to ask if we wanted more of everything & each one was super efficient & on top of it. The kimchi pancake was unbelievable. One person ordered it & the rest of us were kind of like "hmm, ok. You do you!" but when it arrived it was easily one of the best things on the table. It was so crispy with a juicy interior, it disappeared right away, which says a lot for a vegetarian dish when there were unlimited mountains of meat dishes to be had. I thought I knew what a kimchi pancake was but obviously I had never tried the real deal. The regular chicken (non-spicy) was also a dark-horse standout. It was seasoned really well & we were all surprised at how yummy it was. We had a delicious amazing experience! Will definitely come back. (Not sure if the owners look at these reviews, but the only improvement would be if there were maybe purse-hooks at the table. Lots of times these are installed under the table very close to the table's edge, to the side of each chair, for ladies to hang their purses at their knees so they don't have to put their purses on the floor, under the table, or hang them on the side of the chair. These are cheap to install and are always greatly appreciated by the ladies or anyone who uses a purse or handbag)

Great Service. If you are into roasting your own meat, this is a good relaxed place. kid friendly.

In my opinion, the beef brisket and beef belly were dry. I came here before a couple times and the beef was always too thick and dry. The tofu soup is very good tho.

I love the selection of meats they have here. The porky belly is my favorite which was so yummy! Service was pretty good when I was there. I would pick this spot over many other Kbbq places.

Love this place This place is the best korean barbecue spot in the WORLD. i will always come back. the incredible staff going above and beyond for us made my year. 10/10 The quality of food was immaculate and the meat was fresh with incredible marblings. The marinades and variety of meat selection was astonishing. 10/10 The inside was clean and aesthetic for photos. The staff was super on top with picking up trash on the tables and cleaning the grill. 100/10

The Best Customer Service experience I received from a restaurant, while the restaurant was busy and jam packed. Huge Thanks to Dave and Mike for making the best customer experience possible. The ambiance is also vibrant and unique with tons of room for seating. The food is outstanding here, from the cuts of meat to the variety of selections to choose from. There's something for everyone on the menu! Don't forget to order some Soju iced or in slushy format right when you sit down, for an added awesome experience!!!!

Ok for ALL YOU CAN EAT (you have the choice to get AYCE or not), I think it's totally worth giving this spot a try if you're in East Bay! My boyfriends family goes here and I had the chance to join them for a birthday dinner. For AYCE, you can get so much for pretty decent/good meats, appetizers and drinks! My favorite was the brisket, corn cheese, steamed egg, kimchi stew, and individually packaged sauces LOL It's hard to find a good AYCE KBBQ spot in the bay for an affordable price and Gogi Time is definitely the place. Parking is limited and you'd be lucky if you get a parking spot right in front of the restaurant. Other than that, you'd have to find street parking. Anyway, 10/10 would recommend!

I use to come here quite often before COVID. Since then this place has gone down hill. The restaurant is not as clean as it used to be. In fact, it seems a little grungy. Made reservations via Yelp, which was great! They text you to confirm reservations and to remind you that you have a reservation. The quality of food was ok. They used to give you bon chon in different little saucers, no you get a bento like plate. The service was also ok. Not really a place where I can say, "I want to eat at Gogi Time". Over all, just alright.

Very nice establishment people friendly and kind. The food is very tasty and delicious I was skeptical at first but glad I tried it

My son and I have been here several times and also with family and friends. Everyone has enjoyed Gogi Time. You walk in and it's always so lively with just about every table taken with people laughing, talking and enjoying their food. It smells so delicious with all the food cooking. The tables have built in grills and they give you shears and a couple tongs for cooking on the grill. Banchan (small side dishes) is brought over with your plates, dip dishes and utensils. There is a menu with the all-you-can-eat dishes, meats, veggies, etc. They also have desserts and drinks, which are not all you can eat or drink. The service has been great! There are times they are just too busy, but you can always flag someone down and they'll come over straight away. I always leave very pleased!

I stopped in at Gogi time with a small group and we really enjoyed the food and outdoor atmosphere at Gogi Time! We didn't do the AYCE Korean BBQ but we did get a bunch of yummy small plates to share from the Blind Tiger Menu. We tried the fried brussels sprouts, esquites, pork belly baos, spicy chicken wings and the bbq pork ribs. Each item we had was so flavorful and so delicious. There isn't an item we ordered that we wouldn't order again in the future. I'd definitely recommend stopping in for small plates and I hope to be back soon for AYCE Korean BBQ!

Always great for a big party celebration. They take reservations. We like to sit in the back when it's a big party. Although the price got more expensive I appreciate that the higher price now means it includes the LA Kalbi. Always a good experience. LA Kalbi, spicy pork, pork belly were all good. Oo they also have the rice noodle wrappers and lettuce. The one thing I would like to ask for is a better meat dipping sauce! It could be better!
