Gogi Bibimbap - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

My first experience with bibimbap was delicious. I enjoyed talking with the chef as he prepared my meal. I will definitely be returning on my future trips to the area.

This is the "go-to" place for some really good food. The japchae, the dol sot, the bulgogi all super flavorful. Everyone that I've introduced to this place keeps coming back for more. The most discerning taste buds will find something to fit their palate.

Amazing food, great hospitality from the staff. I will continue to come back when in the area!

This place is small, but has just enough on the menu to be a go-to place. I ordered 2 kim baps, a side of kimchi, and an order of pork mandoo. The Kim baps were wrapped well and the contents were flavorful from the radish, beef, and carrot. The kimchi was not spicy, but still had a good flavor. The mini mandoo was fried and the dipping sauce was salty and sour to add another dynamic to the mandoo flavor when combined.

Great intro to Korean food, with a couple common staples. The place itself feels like a mix of tiny convienance store, Asian market with storage everywhere, and a casual bar. The biggest issue is the last two times I've tried to eat there, the place was closed. Handwritten note on the door. How capricious this place is even being open is the biggest negative, especially if you're not from nearby.

Food was edible and not too bad, super overpriced though and found a small hair in the meal. Bowl given was not cleaned well, neither was the table (sticky). Bathroom lights didn't work, soda machines were out of order. Glanced up and saw heavy grime caking the vents as if nobody has bothered to clean them in years. Overall dirty restaurant and disappointing meal, but at least the cashier was nice to us. Not sure how this place has so many good reviews, unless they've just recently decided to give up on their business.

Owner is a very friendly man. Have been here several times but this time I got an upset stomach after eating there.

I had my order to go. The portions are extremely small for the price

Great food, ordered the Japchae. The issue is that it cost $20 for just a small portion and no drink. I paid the same thing for a meal + drink and service at First Watch. That’s crazy for a place that’s considered fast food to be this expensive with such small portions. It’s about what I would expect in California, NYC, or Miami.

I love this place. Always friendly, fun vibe. A perfect lunch.

Can't beat the food, can't even beat the owner. His right hook is as strong as the kimchi.

WARNING: PROBABLE SALMONELLA FOOD POISONING. Spouse and I stopped in for a quick lunch on valentines day. He had the beef, which was bland (boiled?), somewhat odd tasting, we chalked it up to just not being well seasoned or cooked. No biggie, we weren't there for anything fancy, everything else was good! But we ended up needing to cut the day short to run home to handle you-know-what coming out of both you-know-wheres. Three days later he is still in bed with severe joint pain along with all the othere severe food poisoning symptoms. I am severely immunocompromised so it is extremely, extremely unlikely this is any sort of contaguous illness. Full disclosure he has not seen a doctor yet but he has had salmonella poisoning before years ago and this is identical.

Awesome ... fresh foods prepared quickly to perfection 👌

Our group of 5 were treated very well by Min who made our dishes. He was friendly and the food was how we ordered and awesome! I had the spicy pork bowl with white rice and it was delicious! Toothless (from the books) came with us and also gave 5 stars! Thanks!

We stopped in last night. The owner was awesome- friendly, interesting, funny and an amazing cook. We had absolutely gorgeous meals that filled us up for the rest of the day. We don't live nearby but will definitely go back... Highly recommend!

You’re going to be missed friend. Some of the best Korean dining in RVA.

Delicious hot stone bowl (Dolsot bibimbap) to go. Very friendly, authentic service 😄

I love taking my family here. Everyone can get the dish they want and is happy. The guy who owns it is great to talk to as well.

There closed every time I go. 9/17 there closed again. Ig they close when they want and open when they want.

Great food, good prices. This place never disappoints!

Had lunch with my daughter here today and the food was phenomenal. Service was friendly and welcoming. We had the create your own Bibimbap bowl, you can choose to have it served hot or cold. Fresh ingredients displayed in front of you allowing you to choose what you like. Proteins for the bowls included spicy pork, beef bulgogi and chicken. Prices very reasonable. Many other options on the menu looked great as well def will be coming back.

Authentic Korean food. Owner is from South Korea himself. He is very friendly and personable. The foot was hot and delicious, kimchi is good. We got the gogi boxes, the spicy pork is marinated beautifully. We would come here again!

Fast and friendly service. Simple but delicious menu. The hot bowls are fantastic and so are the lunch boxes. The kimchi is so good! It's a great lunch spot. The owner prefers you use the app if you are a returning takeout customer. So I downloaded it. Pass it on.

Quality, delicious food with fresh and customizable ingredients. Min is friendly and personable, and talking with him made our dinner really fun. The seating area is really spacious and casual, so you don't feel cramped or uncomfortable. The menu has a selection of great options, so there's no overwhelming with choices. A lot of fun flavourful imported soft drinks and bottled teas, as well as the usual coke and Pepsi products. The kind of meal you think about for months after.

Owner service attitude is very bad Aggressive and rude Food is not good I will never go back This place doesn't deserve any stars

Food bad. Service bad. The guy so rude. So I payed to service myself. The worst restaurant ever

Extremely prompt service. Hot and delicious. Fresh ingredients. Sauces are excellent. Highly recommended.

I went here for the first time and wow it was terrible. I ordered to go and the box actually had a hole leaking juices all over my table without me realizing it. The meat was dry and the kimchi had absolutely no flavor. I found that the dumplings were the only things that were good

I completely forgot to take pictures of my doesn't bibimbap!! It was delicious!! The man working knows my son, who eats here often, so it was a very fun experience.

Everything is always delicious! Can't resist the dol sat Bibimbap.

Super delicious 😋 will come back

We’ve been eating at this restaurant since pre covid and today was the first time we went after about 3-4 years and let me tell you the service and food has gone tremendously down hill. The owner was especially rude and impatient he death glared my teenage daughter when she was simply asking two questions about the food. He gave us an extremely rude attitude and It got to the point where we were skeptical to even ask for spoons because there were no more spoons left in the utensil bins. Do not come here save your money I’ve been to busy fast food chains during rush hour and none of them have given me the level of disrespect and dissatisfaction of their food like this restaurant. I’m disappointed such a restaurant has taken this turn.

Do not come here the guy was so so so rude. He made it seem like it was a hassle to make the food that we order and we didn’t even ask for anything extra or any substitutions just what was on the menu. His attitude towards his customers simply seemed like he didn’t care or value his customers because when we asked him something he would passive aggressively answer and rush us.

I love this place. It's actually a great place that no one knows about

Food is fantastic. I highly recommend if you like Korean flavors.

Guy was rude and rushed us out of there. Food was very mid for a small $15 bowl.

Best hole in the wall restaurant you can find! Loved the food. Staff member is very kind! It kept me doing my "happy dance." 😊 We will definitely be coming back!!! P.S. I would have added photos, but we ate all the food because it was sooo good.

We love this place ,ty so much , everything is always on point ❤️❤️❤️

Amazingly delicious Korean food! Was great to find this conveniently located restaurant after shopping the day away. Inside is nothing fancy, but cook was pleasant and explained dishes. The food was great! I ordered the Dolsot Bibimbap, which was very flavorful and sizzling hot! And after dinner you can walk next door and finish on a sweet note at the donut shop.

The chicken bimbop is good. Not much in the way of greeting. Small portions. I had to buy a side order of kimshl. I've had better kimshi. .

Excellent Korean BBQ. We went with traditional bulogi box (spicy pork, kiimchi) and their specialty bibimbop bowl. Great lunch spot, exceptional value, quality, and service. Thank you!

Horrible!!! The food is way way overpriced $10.99 for 2 korean hot dogs and the food was also not good at all, I was so disappointed, I couldn't even finish what i ordered.....and the customer service left a lot to be desired as well....what a waste of time and money.

I ordered bibimbap and portion inside was too poor I won't come back

Left our meals half eaten. Nothing in my bowl was fresh. Im very disappointed. Compared to other Korean restaurants in town this one is definitely my least favorite. Bean sprouts were definitely spoiled and mushrooms tasted bitter.

The spicy pork bulgogi is mild and tasteless.. the owner has so much attitude when asked to spice it up, he says that is all we could do. I would never go again .. not for the quality of food , but for his attitude

I got the Japchae and it was great. The owner is very hard working and professional. The shop itself is quaint and fun with kpop playing on the tv and a relaxed atmosphere. Excellent experience and I will be dining here again.

Legit bibimbap place! Three kinds of kimchi! They even sell soju here. Pro tip: if you’re getting the dolsot, you can in fact request a raw egg.

I took a self care trip today and stopped here for lunch and I will say the food here is so good. And I felt so welcomed :)

Food is great! Good selection of beers, and a great atmosphere all around. Been coming here for years, and never been disappointed!

Phenomenal customer service and yet somehow even better food. The chef was very friendly and had wonderful recommendations. The food was a great value (Dol Sot) and was prepared very promptly. All told some of the best food in the area and definitely the best service in the area. Recommend highly if you want a quick but decadent lunch.

Great delicious food. Extremely friendly and welcoming staff! I will be back for more!!

Had the traditional Bibimbap in a dolsot, and it was pretty good. Not the absolute best I've had in the states, and the menu is somewhat limited, but the service is fast and friendly. It was about as quick to get the food as 5-guys. The dumplings were also really good.

Absolutely amazing food! Fast and friendly service, great dishes and a great price. We will be coming back time and time again!

Always very good food and the staff is extremely friendly. Highly recommend if you like Korean.

Fast and friendly service. Great fresh food!

I ordered via Doordash. It was definitely not authentic and was not great Korean food by any standards but they do offer healthier rice options (purple or brown) which got them an additional star.

Fast, friendly, and great value. I've had a lot of Korean food over the years and this place is legit. Dolsat Bibimbap is delicious. Will definitely return when I'm in Richmond again.

CHEESE CORNDOGS AHHHH They were bussin 10/10 would buy again

Nice little Korean fast food spot. Pricy for fast food. I always stop here for Kimbaps, haven’t had anything else of their menu.

Friendly and fast. Definitely recommend for a quick bite to eat.

Yummy, cute, local! Very friendly staff!

Great food great prices and really great service.

3rd visit, awesome food every time. Staff is super friendly also!

While visiting family we stopped here. Awesome food and friendly staff.

Lovely place to eat! I was welcomed warmly and the two bulgogi boxes I ordered came very quickly!

Great friendly service. Really good food. Highly recommend.

Very good food. Don't use website, call for pickup! Has an app too if you prefer.

If i could, i would give this place million stars!!! The food is so good and people who work here are nice. If you are wondering where to go out and eat, I would recommend this place. Also, listen up, haters! There is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO GIVE THIS PLACE ONE STAR, if you dont like it here, which is FAKE, just keep your stinky hate fingers glued on your other handand just dont write it!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍👍

Delicious food. My first time eating Korean food and it will not be my last. I had the Bibimbap and Tempura Shrimp. Please bring honey pancakes! Had to get Country Donuts next door for dessert :D

Super fresh and tasty. Bowl enough to share for $13.

Solid food at a reasonable price. The staff was friendly and the meal was delivered fast.

Love this place. Great fast Korean food and always pleasant service.

They have the best kimbap! Great service as always!

I'm used to waiting a long time for food. But the it was quick and friendly. I love how the menu simplified things and you could choose the veggies in your BiBimBap

Love the bibimbap rolls! Fast and friendly service.

they never miss. awesome food, great people

I did the bulgogi box and it was delicious. The vegetable mandoo had so much flavor, the beef was sweet & savory, and the kimchi was delectable. I want to make this place a once a week visit.

Delicious kimbap💖💖 very nice people clean interior, fast service. They have yummy kimchi too, must get!

Pretty sure that my first visit was an off day for the restaurant based on other reviews..but I called in my order for pick up.. although the bulgogi had a good flavor it was cold and more chewy than I prefer. The dumplings were great and I loved the sauce. Will try 1 more time

Freaking awesome yummy bibimbop

Great Bulgogi, friendly staff, and good Kimchi.

Food is amazing and authentic, place was clean and the owner was super friendly. Please give this a try you will not be disappointed!

UPDATE: May 2020 Still one of my favorites in Richmond!!

My friends and i tried Gogi Bibimbap yesterday for lunch, after reading positive reviews online. The employee was very friendly, the menu was simple and the place was clean. It was nice to be able to see the food being prepared in front of us, and as there were tables outside, we were able to eat there. We had tteokbokki and bulgogi box. The flavor was really good and the prices reasonable. We'll definitely go back

The owners are very nice, and the Bibimbap dolsot bowls are just like when we were in Korea. The brothers are actually from Korea. The Kimbop is also very delicious. This is the best Korean food for Bulgogi and Bibimbop that I have had since leaving Korea. They also have the authentic drinks there as well. They were very accepting of my service dogs as well. Unfortunately, the parking lot does not have handicapped parking but the restaurant next to it has a couple of spots we have used since they went out of business.

Best bibimbap in RVA. Friendly, fast service, great location in the West End, and fantastic house made kimchi.

Love this place. Bibimbap is amazing!

Good is really good the owner is very sweet and knowledgeable.

Great food.Service could be a bit friendlier

Nice people and lots of yummy stuff..

Food is incredible. Front service could be a happier experience. Definitely recommend eating here. I had the BiBimBap Bowl with Bulgogi Beef. The vegetables were fresh. Everything was cooked right and tasted great.

what a cute little place. it's great for grabbing a bite with friends when you don't have much time. it's also a lot of food for a little money. highly recommend! 💕

Gogi is always delicious and a great place to bring friends to eat and watch K-Pop

Great food! Service was great as well!

Bibimbap is the Korean mixed rice dish. What I like about this fast casual restaurant is that everyone can get what they want in terms of customizing their dish with toppings. You place and pay for your order at the counter, and then they bring your food out to you. They are famous for their bibimbop, and I'd recommend getting it in the traditional "dol sot," the hot stone bowl which sizzles and helps get the rice crispy on the bottom. The mandu dumplings are a great table share appetizer or accompaniment, and are particularly crispy and delicious.

Gotta say I like this place, food is good, service is good and friendly. I'll eat there any time

Tasty, good pricing, great service every time we go. The boys really enjoy the mandoo and milkis sodas, and my favorite is the chicken box. A regular in our restaurant rotation!

I no longer work in the area so I have fewer excuses to eat here, but boy I’m glad every time I do. Dolsat with purple rice, spicy pork, jalapeños, and extra spicy sauce is the best and most delicious way to fully melt your face off.

Took me back on a brief trip to Korea.

Love this place. Never disappoints. Food is always fresh and they fry the eggs to order.
