GogoYaki Japanese Grill — Restaurant in Archdale

You shouldn’t support this gas station or its restaurant and here’s why:

This place was just sold in October of 2023. I've been stopping by this gas station on and off for the past 6 years. I went in today (11/01/23) and made a purchase that totaled 4.38 and noticed the girl working the register manually enter an extra 50 cent charge without saying a word. I asked about it and she pointed to a little, tiny handwritten piece of paper taped to the counter that said this station is now charging an extra 50 cents for any credit/debit purchase that isn't at least $5. So this will be the last time I stop by that location.

To the new owner: I hope that flushing away a 6-year customer was worth the 50 cents you stole from me today. And I guarantee there will be many more, ESPECIALLY since you don’t even tell them before you steal the extra 50 cents from them.

I am a business owner myself and would never even imagine ringing someone up and then adding an extra amount to the total, let alone without telling them.

For anyone who happens to be reading this, I urge you to not use this station because you shouldn’t support businesses that outright steal money...

I’ve been a regular at GoGo Yaki for years and have always enjoyed the food, but the new management has made a really disappointing change. Charging the same price for a cup of water as a fountain drink? That’s not just unreasonable—it’s off-putting. Water is a basic courtesy in any dining experience, and policies like this make it feel like profit is being prioritized over customer care. Charge for the cup, but saying “it’s a fountain drink” like the young lady explained is ridiculous.

The lifetime value of a loyal customer can be quite extensive, and small decisions like this one can chip away at that relationship. I genuinely hope the new management reads this and reconsiders their approach before more regulars decide to take their business elsewhere. So, for now it’s a no go...

This is not a fake review. Husband and I were passing through town after a law conference and spotted this place. Since we are fans of quirky, out of the way places, we decided to try it out for fun and just to tell our friends we ate “gas station” Asian cuisine. It was actually fantastic! Hot, fresh and plenty of it. The vegetables were perfectly cooked and excellent quality. The steak, chicken, shrimp and rice (none of it over salted like many) were excellent. We ate in the small dining area which was clean, overlooking the convenience store activities. It was a fun and yummy experience, and we’ve already decided that this will be our stop next year when...
