WOW, what an absolute hidden gem. This place blew us away, we were disappointed initially when we arrived and saw it was a counter-service restaurant, but the younger guy working the front was super helpful and friendly.
Ordered a few dishes that sounded good (with his help) and a few Korean classics we knew we liked. My wife and I eat a TON of Korean food, so we've had everything from good, to bad, to great, and Gogi is great. Their tofu soup, the soon tofu is maybe my favorite I've ever had, I just wish it was spicy, even if just a bit.
We also ordered Tteokbokki, spicy pork belly, and the sweet and spicy wings, and about 3/4 of the way through our meal we thought about it and said "Not one thing has just been 'okay' or mediocre. Literally all four dishes are delicious." The teokbokki is perfect, just the right level of spiciness and comes with a hard boiled egg. The sweet and spicy wings were crunchy and slathered in sauce on the outside, but hot, tender, and juicy inside. All four dishes came out PIPING hot, which is the best way to eat soon tofu and wings especially. Be forewarned, however, I tried ONE dab of the extra spicy wings and they are brutal, and I can occasionally stomach the 2X Hot Bul Dak ramen.
All told, everything you see in the picture together was about $52.
It's almost a bummer that this hidden gem is just sitting in a shopping plaza outside of a theatre with a million other restaurants around. I wish there were something this good in the West Valley; we'd be there every week. No complaints at all, highly...

I recently dined at Gogi and Asian Cuisine and was treated to an exceptional culinary experience. The highlight of my meal was the Pork Katsu, and it truly exceeded my expectations.
The pork cutlet was perfectly breaded and fried to a golden crisp, while the meat inside remained tender and flavorful. The accompanying sauce added a delightful balance of sweet and savory notes, enhancing the overall taste of the dish.
The ambiance of the restaurant was welcoming, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. The menu offered a diverse selection of Asian cuisine, promising something for every palate.
