Fantastic Korean BBQ in Cleveland! Clean, modern dining room filled with TVs showing kpop bands. We had a large group and ordered the combo for 4, plus some appetizers to share. Everything was fresh & delicious. Our server was great! He grilled each meat to perfection and checked in on us to make sure the pace of his cooking was working for our group (we asked for a small break to continue chatting & eating). He was great about changing the videos on the TV by our table so our teenage girls could watch the BTS videos they were most interested in. Lol Great food, great service, great ambiance - we'll be back!
My boyfriend and I were craving KBBQ, so we decided to try Gogi-en. He’s been here before and brought home galbi and marinated galbi that were amazing. Because of that experience, we came in with high expectations and were really excited. At first, I liked this restaurant for its cleanliness and cute decor. The overall ambiance gave a very pleasant first impression. However, my experience today was quite disappointing. I was not satisfied with the service or the food quality. When the server brought us to our table, she seated us at the front near the entrance by the snack corner. We asked if we could move to a table in the back, but she told us those tables were for non-bbq guests. We were okay with that and stayed. However, shortly after, we saw other parties being seated in the back and eating KBBQ. That felt inconsistent and honestly disappointing. We ordered the yookhwe (beef tartare) bibimbap ($20.95), the Korean beef BBQ combo for two ($119.99), prime rib ($44.95), and makgeolli. Honestly, the portions were lot smaller than I expected for the price. Brisket only came with 6 thick pieces and galbi came with 9 to 12 pieces depending on how you cut them. The last straw was just seeing 10 small pieces of prime rib. As for the taste, it was decent but not the best. The banchan, doenjang jjigae, and steamed egg were good, but the beef was tough and hard to chew. The sauce on the marinated galbi actually hardened like candy after grilling and stuck to my teeth and the plate. We cooked most of our meat ourselves, which we didn’t mind, but it seemed like our server was busy with other tables. Overall, I was disappointed and probably won’t be back. If you’ve never had KBBQ, it might still be worth (?) a try considering for the authentic experience, but I don’t think the service, portions or quality make it worth the price.
This is my absolute favorite Korean restaurant! It’s the best place to enjoy authentic Korean BBQ. The meat is incredibly fresh and juicy, and all the side dishes are delicious. They also provide fresh wrap vegetables and offer unlimited refills upon request. Best of all, the place is spotless and the staff is so friendly. Highly recommended!
