Kogii Kogii

I think Kogii means "meat." So Kogii Kogii means meat meat. How about meet meat?Yes Yes.We loved it. We loved it.I know not what All You Can Eat (AYCE) that is referenced in these reviews. Our group picked a Combo that served 2-3 people. The price/description is different than what you see on the website or Yelp menu. Our Combo was $100 and included miso or seaweed soup, rice, banchan and four kinds of meat: marinated bulgogi, short rib, ribeye and brisket.Delicious Delicious.The banchan was tasty tasty. I especially liked the pickled cucumber and the kimchi. Some of the reviews said they were charged extra for refills on the banchan dishes. We were not. What a feast. The server loaded up our grill with brisket and would leave and come back to flip things or turn things although we were pretty capable of doing it ourselves. They very nicely cut our ribeye into bite-sized pieces with the kitchen shears and also snipped up the short rib. The meat was delicious and the banchan and rice soon filled us up. We used the green leafy lettuce to make ssambap. I also liked the sauce with the sesame oil and salt.The bulgogi was last and we had to dig deep to finish it. What I liked was that nothing stuck to the grill and nothing burned either. I've had kbbq before at other places where it was too hot and the meat was burned. Everything was cooked perfectly. There was another table where flames shot up from the grill but the staff quickly went over to help.The staff was friendly and efficient. The banchan was plentiful and tasty. The portions of meat were pretty generous and good quality. Although pricy, I feel we got a lot of food and the meat was excellent because we cooked it ourselves :). So good so good. We enjoyed we enjoyed.Bye bye!

Update: 4/27/24They no longer offer AYCE. They have their a la carte items and combo items.

We came here for lunch with our family and we had a combo and order a few meat dishes! The service was quick and we had a good amount of ban chans and you can get it refilled! I like the rib eye the best!

We never had Korean BBQ this place was very nice , open plenty of seating, able to have a good conversation over dinner we did Combo A and it was well worth it we told the front counter waitress that we never done Korean BBQ it so how would you she help use and explain everything and told us about how it eaten in Korea and about the Flavors the different sauces explain each side from the pickles to the onion salad ,an the spicy kimchi it was fun experience to cook our meats from the table and told us in what order to cook our meats to get the maximum flavors and the rib eye was so tender the restaurant was nicely decorated as well we will be back

Food is great and the all you can eat option is a good deal. But the meat comes out very slow after a few plates and it starts to feel they are cutting you off

I went here after having a day at Six Flags. I was craving a perfectly grilled galbi with some cold noodles to alleviate the hot day at Six Flags. My friend and I got the Acye and it was standard. There's not many options of meat to choose from and WHERES THE GALBI??? it was excluded from acye. We ate a lot of brisket as everyone does, but it didn't hit my kbbq craving. I ordered the cold noodles bc I saw everyone ordering them, they were good. I liked the pickled veggies in there, lots of noodles were provided! 7.5/10 for the noodles

This is one of the only Korean restaurants in the area, so opted for takeout to satisfy our craving. We tried a variety of items - japchae, Korean pancake, bulgogi, galbi, and a few of their soups. Overall the food was lacking flavor, spice, and was a bit pricy. This was the first time visiting here since the pandemic, and we felt quality has gone downhill. May try dine in sometime to see if quality is improved.

I like the selection of side dishes here. The meat is delicious. I like that they serve lettuce wraps instead of salad like other places. The service was good and I would go back here over other bbq places.

Kogii Kogii is a wonderful spot for Korean cuisine. The service is excellent, with friendly and efficient staff. The restaurant is clean and well-organized, adding to the dining experience. The food is mouth-watering and authentic, with generous portions. The ambiance is lively and vibrant, making it a great place to hang out. I highly recommend trying their signature dishes. You'll definitely enjoy every bite!
