Reviews for Gogi Time in Oakland, CA
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 favoritething we got. We also got the garlic pork belly, shrimp, brisket, sirloin.. pretty much everything on the menu. Everything wasfantastic. The service was amazing as well. We never felt like we were missing food or was waiting for more. They also comearound change out your burner top so it’s always clean. If you really need convincing and your not just sure. Just walk infront of the building and you’ll be convinced by the amazing aroma of Korean BBQ food! Read more
So glad we finally tried this place! I had no idea what to expect, which is good because I never would have expected this... experience. Service was great, friendly and fast. There were so many delicious options for each course of the meal. We got thebrisket, beef spare ribs, bbq chicken, garlic shrimp, and mussels. Plus beef pot stickers, corn cheese, and vegetable pancake asappetizers, and the banchan and white rice as sides. Staff checked on us often to ask if we wanted more food - while we werestill grilling what we had! Plentiful portions, tasty sides, yummy dipping sauces - I just wish I had packed a larger appetite!!

This all you can eat Korean BBQ is pretty good. Went here with a party of 8. I would have given them a 5, but several... orders of meats did not come. But there was still sufficient amount of food. Read more
The food here is amazing! The kimchi is awesome and the kimchi pancakes are even better! Light and crispy with crunchy bell... peppers. The potstickers are another favorite, can’t go wrong with that. The meats too are spot on; brisket, ribs and porkbelly Read more
All you can eat dinner had me trying many new styles while enjoyong my first experience with Korean Barbecue. Delicious food,... fantasticly made and tasty drink, and a staff that was on point. Read more
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 wetwipes or more napkins from the start (grilling is a messy process), and cleaner restrooms. But the service and the food wasgreat, so I'm still giving a 5 star review. Read more
When we sit down, I noticed the grill plate already had oil residue from no being wash carefully. No big deal, we used paper... napkin to clean up the top. The waiter turned on the fire when the meats came. As the grill plate started to heat up, we startedto putt meat on top of the grill plate. As we were putting meat in the “hot” grill plate, I noticed black/brown dirty soapybubbles come out at the edge of the grill plate openings. See pictures of the grill plate and picture of the paper napkin afterwe tried to wipe off the black bubble. We told the waiter and he changed to another one. But the second one also spit out blacksoapy bubbles as it was heat up. Then the third one was also the same. I find out the reason is the grill plate is made of twostainless steel sheets one on top of another so it is almost impossible to wash away anything in between. So we end up usingtheir outdoor solid grill plate and stove instead. I am sure all other tables in this restaurant would have similar problem. Ifyou just put meat on top of the grill plate before it is heat up, you will not see the dirty black/brown soapy bubbles. This isnot the first time we ran into dirty grill plate at Korean BBQ restaurants. So pay attention to the grill plate when you eat atany Korean BBQ place. I told the restaurant they shouldn’t use this kind of grill plate. I hope they listen. The restaurantgive us 15% off for the incident without asking. However I still feel I should inform every one about this because I saw they continue to serve other tables using the same style grill plates even after I informed them about the problem. And the tablesnext to us just put meats on their grill plates and didn’t notice anything and just eat… I give two stars because the foodis not bad and the manager let us used the outdoor solid plate with portable stove instead Read more
Typically these places have great sides to make you want to deviate from the meat, so that they can save some $. That’s fine,... however this places sides were all below mediocre in my eyes. I was perfectly fine not eating any of the sides, because Igenuinely didn’t like any of them. I’m really not that picky too. I am my families “trash can” when they have food theydon’t want. The meat itself was O.K., nothing special but average. The service was decent, our server was friendly andhelpful. Read more
