10/10 in my opinion.
For some back story, I'm a Dallas native that went to Texas Tech University in Lubbock. Gogogiri originated (I could be mistaken but I don't think I am) in Lubbock. On Friday nights there would be food trucks and gogogiri was always one of them BUT the line was always SO LONG (like 30 people) that I would always just say next time. Fast forward, I move from Lubbock back to Dallas unexpectedly not getting the chance to try it.
WHEN I TELL YOU THE PURE EXCITEMENT I had when I found out they were opening a store literally 3 minutes from my place I lost it.
So let's get to the actual reviews. The atmosphere is cute, quiet and I like how they have their booths. They have fairy lights with some neon signs that add a nice touch. Also they play anime in the background but you can't really hear it. With that being said though there is only like 5 tables in the restaurant.
Service was very hospitable. Very friendly staff. At the end of my meal I went to go grab to go boxes from the ordering counter and I got into a conversation with I think was the manager. He was extremely kind and asked me what I thought. We talked for a while and I told him about what I wrote in the first paragraph. He was happy that I came in and gave them a shot.
Lastly, on to the food. I'm a huge fan of onigiri and boy when I tell you they had quite a selection to choose from. My boyfriend and I got four with a bbq pork steamed bun. The steamed bun was soft, pillowy, and overall comforting. The filling was on the sweeter side and had a nice ratio of filling to bun. The four onigiris we got were the katsu, wagu, spam, and pork. Our personal favorite was the katsu. The chicken was extremely crispy cause it was made fresh. Everything is made to order so it does take some time to get the food. Maybe like 15-20 minutes but it's because they are all made fresh. The filling to rice ratio is also fantastic. They don't jip you on filling at all. The other flavors were really good but that katsu is to die for. Spam was a little on the saltier side but it is spam so it's to be expected. They also have dipping sauces which I recommend. I loved to the Nashville hot and gogo sauce. Both are creamy but honestly dreamy as well. Drink wise though, there isn't that many options. If your okay with sprite, coke, water and I think they had some energy drinks than that's good but I'd would've liked a diet option, personally Diet Coke.
Overall, like I said 10/10. Please go. I want them to succeed so badly. It's a family owned business and they are great at what they do. I will definitely be going back.
