Go Goong

Very good food. We went here because the line at Amakara was too long. I found a great new place to go. Got the tofu stew and the bimbimbap. Good stuff. And the staff was super friendly.

Decent Korean food. Lunch specials are good but pricey. Dinner is on a whole different level — very pricey. Food is decent, but had some egg shells that fell into my pancake.

Meat quality is decent, I especially like the braised short rib stew. Banchan selection isn’t great (only about 6 – 7 selections) and prices are way too expensive for the amount of food you get. Service is typical of Korean restaurants, once they deliver the food no follow up on how everything is going or refills on banchan.
Look to spend about $ 25+ a person for a decent meal. Unless they lower their prices, I don’t see myself going back.

Love this place! My go-​to Korean dish is beef bulgogi of course. Their house special sauce is a winner! You really can’t go wrong here. Also, though I’m an avid Korean bulgogi fan, their menu is pretty diverse! I was surprised to see so many tasty options at an affordable price. The bulgogi lunch special for $ 11.99 was a surprise to me. That is fairly inexpensive for a beef dish, rice, along with their typical Korean appetizers. Shoutout to the friendly wait staff as well!

Had a lunch with my uncle today
Portion was small compared to korean rest in south bay area.
Price was higher but taste was ok
No bbq grills and hoods on the table.
If you order bulgogi or kalbi, they will cook in side and bring it out for you.
Side dishes looked fresh and taste was ok too
Wish to have more generous portion; so i can go more.

We came here for lunch on Friday. Cute little family establishment. We asked the waiter for recommendations and each of us ordered one of his recommended dishes; we were all satisfied with our meals. Most of the meals were rice and meat. They bring an assortment of small appetizer plates (daikon radish, bean sprouts, kimchee, cucumber mixture, and fish cakes) while your orders are being prepared. That was a really nice touch. I will definitely be back. Be aware that they don’t take American Express cards.

Now I come to this restaurant more often. Trust me this is THE Korean restaurant you could find in the tri valley area. Some may complain about portion and price but you can not complain and compare between apple and orange. I am very picky on freshness and the quality of ingredients. High quality ingredient! I would rather pay little more to put something better stuff into my and my family’s body.
I know lots of restaurants cutting corners on ingredient for lowering the costs. This is place is not.
Great lunch specials and ban chans!!!

So happy we stumbled upon this Korean restaurant in the area. The beef short rib is delicious along with the ramen soups. Ordered to go and dined in the restaurant a few times, food is fairly consistent except for the Jap Chae… sometimes it’s perfect and other times, it’s on the oily side. The restaurant itself is cute, evenings are busy. Looking forward to trying more of the other dishes they have on their menu.
Wish they offered dessert, after eating all the savory food, it’s nice to end with something sweet!

Love this place! Food is freshly prepared and well present… not to forget the big portion too!
Excellent staff and services!

in LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!
This is my new favorite Korean restaurant in all of the east bay. This place is very cute and trendy. I love that they do all of the cooking for you in the back kitchen so the place is not so smokey.
Menu consists of a variety of tradtional Korean eats. We came for lunch and ordered the spicy chicken and BBQ short ribs. Both were EXCELLENT and as are their sides. They offered free refill of the sides.
In short, the spicy chicken, short ribs and kim-​chee is amazing. If the basics are this good, I can’t wait to come back to try the other dishes like clear noodles, tofu soup and bibimbap!

Go Goong is definitely a step up from the surrounding Korean restaurants in the Dublin area. You can tell almost immediately, from the décor to the menu offerings to, well, the price points too. I came here for a last-​minute Mother’s Day dinner with my folks, and only had to wait about 15 minutes for a table for three.
I ordered my go-​to ox knee soup/​doganitang and came away very impressed. The broth was as rich as I’ve ever had and barely required any salt at all. It came with green onions already added, which is okay, and with a heaping portion of noodles. They also kinda cheated by making the knee meat-​to-​tendon ratio 1:1, so I didn’t get as much of the chewy luxury of the latter as I would have preferred, but overall this was one of the better doganitangs I’ve had anywhere.
Banchan was just okay, and the haemul pajeon was nothing to write home about, but I’d still come back because 1) the meats at other tables looked great, and 2) they have these two-​person specialty dishes that I would love to devour on my ow– I mean, share with someone I care about. Go Goong is worth your time finding as you wade through the faceless mass (when I say «mass» I mean like a handful lol) of eh-​to-​meh Korean places around here, and it’s also not a bad fallback when your table at nearby Amakara won’t be ready until next month.

When you walk into Go Gong, you will notice the décor is very Korean style– exude a naturally minimalistic and yet sophisticated style. cover with wood.
The menu offer an array of options including the traditional Korean bbq, tofu soup, Korean chicken, Bibimbap, etc. We usually order the Korean fried chicken and Daeij Bulgogi.
Korean fried chicken is differs from typical American fried chicken by being fried twice. This results in the skin being crunchier and less greasy. Our favorite is the one cover with soy-​glazed sauce.
As for the Daeji bulgogi, which is a thin sliced pork loin marinated in a specially blended red chili pepper paste with various assortments of banchan (small side dishes). For the price, the portion is on the small side and the meat is on the drier side.
In term of the customer service, they were typical Asian service. Once food are deliver, there is no follow up. They seem to be very busy and understaff.
If you are willing to pay slightly more, Go Gong is the to go place for a good family-​style meals.

My friend wanted to come here for dinner since apparently she loved it so much she went 4 times in 2 weeks. We got there at 6:30 and they were pretty busy for a weekday night.
We ordered two of the cold noodle soups, a seafood pancake to share, and I got the spicy beef noodle soup. The seafood pancake came out with the banchan and it was bonb, super crispy and very thick batter with a decent amount of seafood and veggies. The banchan selection here is large, but not that tasty. I only looked the broccoli, bean sprouts, and the seaweed.
My spicy beef noodle soup was savory, full of veggies, a bit of noodles, and a little bit spicy it wasn’t that spicy at all even though I ordered extra spicy. Prices here are a bit higher than other Korean restaurant in the area. The cold noodle soup here is delicious, it is so refreshing and yummy my friends polished off their entire bowls.
I will definitely be coming here again for the Cold noodle soup and I still need to try their wings.

I like this place although they don’t have BBQ. as a person I’m not huge on meat anyways, so I come here when I’m craving something spicy or ramen of some sort.
Their beef dishes are pretty expensive, when I paid $ 24 for Korean style meat patties, they served us just two patties the size of an in n out burger patty. It was good, but when you think about it, Korean bbq all you can eats costs $ 24 for much. much. more.
Other than that, I like the variety of their menus. Their service is pretty good, because they normally come three times to the table to check if we need any refills on sides. Some Korean places aren’t so generous about giving their sides.
What makes it five stars is the friendly service and especially the environment. They have music playing, and NO tvs. I hate going to places with screens, and my company has their eyes glued to the tv the whole time. What ever happened to talking to friends and family!
It’s never too loud in there, and the décor is very well done. Definitely my go to Korean place.

OH YES!!! I have very standards when it come to Korean food and so far there weren’t any good Korean BBQ places here until I came across Go Goong!
Friends recommended this place praising the quality of meat and side dishes (ban chan). But I was still skeptical as no Korean places here so far would deserve 5 stars as nothing is as good as the Korean restaurants in SJ or Oakland.
But since this place opened I don’t feel like I need to travel to South Bay if I feel like having good Korean food and I’m too lazy to cook. It’s that good!
Today we came in for hubby’s birthday and we literally ordered almost every BBQ dish on their menu.
Pork Belly (Sam gyp sal)
Spicy Pork (Dae ji bul go gi)
Chicken BBQ (dak gui)
Bul Go Gi (marinated rib eye)
Ribs (Galbi)
Salmon
Chap Chae (glass noodles)
Dduk bo ki (spicy rice cakes)
Spicy Noodle soup with Seafood (Kal gook soo)
Everything tasted great! Every dish was perfectly seasoned and fresh. The side dishes were also good. If a restaurant serves a great selection of ban chan and they all taste good, you can be ensured that their entrees will be good too!
My noodles were thick and cooked well and they add lots of fresh seafood to your soup!
They also give out pumpkin soup in small bowls as free appetizers which was a great start to our feast.
I also appreciate their modern, clean interior which makes the restaurant bright and inviting. They are also very kid friendly (with utensils and cups for children).
Also the waitress and waiter speak English which is a plus for this area but also have Korean speaking staff.
We will be definitely back as their menu has a great selection and there are still a lot of things I would love to try. And this is a great place to come and invite your friends and family.

Newer, modern Korean restaurant with extensive menu. Google Maps doesn’t list the location accurately. It shares the same parking lot as the boba place and Amakara, in the Southwest corner. Casual dress, very popular with families, complete with screaming kids, etc. Go early (before 6 PM) on Saturdays otherwise there’s a long wait.
We got there around 5:45 PM and the place was almost full. We were seated quickly and our drink orders taken. Of course, we had to try the fried chicken wings. Food came out quickly… probably not even 10 minutes. We were surprised. They get an extra star for that. The fried chicken wings ($ 7.99) were crispy, lightly seasoned, moist on the inside and piping hot. Batter was not heavy. Really good, but not distinctive.
The banchan (mini side dishes) came out with the main courses, which is strange. Usually, they bring it out at the very beginning of the meal. There were 9 different things, mostly standard fare: kim chee, sesame oil pea shoots, pickled broccoli and carrots, fish cake strips, bean sprouts. Most were okay, the pea shoots and kim chee were good. Some were weird like the eggplant in sauce. The worst one were the beans — dry, mealy, and hard. Um, that’s not right. They do give free refills, which is excellent.
Let’s start with the good. I ordered a dolsot bibimbap (hot stone rice with veggies, shredded beef) which cost $ 15.99. It came on a flat stone, not in a bowl, spicy Korean chili sauce in a squeeze bottle on the side. It was a bit difficult to stir, however, the rice was nicely crisped on the bottom, the flavors were good, the egg on top with a raw center was such a nice touch. You have to stir it to cook it along with the rest of the stuff. It had a stringy vegetable in it which I believe was gosari (fernbreak), which gave it a unique flavor and texture. A lot of people were ordering this dish… I saw them bring out a cart with at least half a dozen plates on it. Definitely recommended if you are trying out this restaurant.
DH was not happy with their seafood tofu soup ($ 13.99), but he ate it anyway. He ordered it «mild», but was forewarned by the waitress that there is no mild. It was incredibly spicy. If the health department is reading, they should ignore the next line. They dropped a raw egg into the soup at the table. He complained that the shrimp wasn’t a prawn with the head still on. It had a slight fishy taste. The seafood pieces were extremely tiny.
Overall, the prices seemed just a little bit higher than local Korean restaurants. Some hits, some misses on the food. I think if you order correctly, this place can be excellent.

Absolutely love coming here for WEEKDAY lunch. Prices are beyond reasonable and there’s so much to choose from. However, I would not dine here for dinner or a holiday because lunch specials aren’t offered.
BBQ short ribs can be overpriced. I’ve ordered for lunch several times ($ 12.99) and made the mistake of coming here for lunch on a holiday Monday and paid full price ($ 28.99). More than double the price for the same portion size. A bit ridiculous And not enough for 2 to share. Do yourself a favor and eat here Mon-​Fri (11a to 4p) and take advantage of special pricing. Another go-​to is their Galbi BiBimBap which is your normal BiBimBap in a hot stone topped with a fried egg and short ribs ($ 15.99).
Customer service is great and they refill any of the ban chan items as often as you want.

Over time Go Goong has improved on their front of the house skills. The Korean food coming out of the kitchen rivals any Korean restaurant in the East Bay excluding BBQ. The Beef Noodle soup and the Calamari are excellent. It is still a hidden away gem of a Korean restaurant in Dublin and has become my favorite. (excluding BBQ). The Spicy Beef Short Ribs are not to be missed.

I am a big Korean cuisine lover. But I have narrowed down my favorite dishes to a few dishes.
For our 2^nd visit to GoGoong, we ordered our all time favorite Jhap Che noodles. The kids like the chewy texture and flavor of the glass noodles. It comes with a variety of meat and veggies, which makes it smell and taste good.
We also tried their fried chicken, tofu soup, and Spicy Beef Soup.
The fried chicken wings were great! They were crispy on the outside and juicy inside. Our 5 yr old loved it. She’s a big fan of crispy chicken skin. Their special seasoning had a pleasantly tasting flavor.
Except for the Spicy Beef Soup, which we found a bit bland and the beef a bit tough, we enjoyed the rest of the dishes
The seafood beef tofu Soup was a delight. Adding the fresh egg put a nice touch to the presentation and taste.
I liked the variety of FREE appetizers that they offered. Our two toddlers particularly loved the crispy mini shrimps.
The service in this place is exceptional. They’re prompt and helpful. I appreciate how they ensure to keep our tea cups filled. And that they had kid-​safe utensils.

Very good food! Will definitely come back. Banchan is the best. So many choices. I requested a refill for spinach and broccoli coz my kids enjoyed eating it. The beef bbq patties were so delicious that my son finished 1.5 of it. The squash soup was abig surprised when it was served. Tasted to perfection. Very healthy and a good starter.

Liked everything here, service, décor, soup, except for the undercooked bbq chicken.
Came here for dinner and was seated quickly. Employees were very attentive and checked in on us frequently to see how we were doing. I ordered the bbq chicken and the beef tofu soup. The order came with the usual type sides, veggies, kimchi, the usual. The bbq chicken was nicely seasoned but unequally cut which led to the larger pieces to be noticeably undercooked. I bit into one and realized it was undercooked and took it out and saw that it was pink inside. I looked at all the larger pieces and they were all also undercooked. Assuming that is a one time thing, I would definitely come back here because the soup was nicely portioned and flavored. But I would most likely order a different meat dish next time. Overall good place for korean food.

We decided to come here to give this place a try instead of going to Ohgane or the Tofu Soup place near Hana Japan since we’ve been to both many times.
Why go here:
— great attentive service, much faster than ohgane, more friendly, more staff
— better fried chicken wings than other places
— the sum gup sol (Korean bacon — spelling could be off) was delicious
Need improvement
— they do not have cabbage for the sum gup sol, yes can give u the experience to eat this dish correctly
— the hot stone bowl is more of a plate and not as good as others (barely any crispy rice at bottom)
I’m going to write more reviews in this area since I now lived here for the past 2 years and rely on Unilocal so much, time to contribute like everyone else

I had Spicy Cold Noodle and that was way too spicy that I could not eat much. Korean restaurants would serve you a bowl of simple soup to go with it since it is a hot dish, but the waitress said no. Okay. Other dish we ordered (Salmon, Mackerel, Spicy chicken) were not bad. The issue I had with Go Goong right off the bat was how small the side dishes were. I care less of the quantity if the quality is good, but the amount of each banchan was embarrassing like are you kidding me? We are four adults here and one of the banchans has three teeny pieces of fish cake. Wow. Plus, since when Korean restaurants charge over $ 20 for spicy pork or chicken?

Had a pretty good experience when we came here for a get together. Evidently they are new so the place still has a fresh look and feel to it.
We all shared everything. Bonchon was fine but there was very little in each small dish so we were constantly asking for more. Really took up the table real estate which kinda an issue later since we were all sharing family style.
Tofu soup was good, and the meat was bbq’d and brought to the table. Tasty, especially the chicken, very silky and tender. Yum. If you’re not game for AYCE, then this is a good option.

My new favorite Korean spot in Dublin! Fresh and delicious banchans, thick kimchee pancakes, and the best hot stone bibimbop I’ve had. Short ribs were good and their rice cake and dumpling soup is flavorful. Service is friendly and they give you complimentary pumpkin soup.

Tried to have a Korean Dinner at Go Going tonight. Arrived at the restaurant at 8:29 pm. Sign on the door has hours to 9 pm. Greeted at the door and seated with menus and as we were deciding what to order Mr. Go Goong an older Korean Man comes out of the kitchen in a white T-​shirt and white apron says something to the server. The Korean lady server comes to our table and they stop serving at 8:30 pm. I’ve patronized this place over 6 times and apparently they don’t even know their regular customers. I am a fast eater, I’m there for the food, I don’t linger sipping wine and wanting dessert. The server took the menus away and said sorry. Too bad! I almost got to try every thing on menu. The worst thing that can happen to a restaurant is that your regular customer gets turned off and does not come back.

Parking: HUGE lot out front. Parking is a breeze.
Décor: OMG. Can I just say, whoever designed this place is a genius. Most beautifully designed logo and interior. Never seen a Korean place THIS pretty.
Food: Typical food, nothing out of the ordinary. The soup was good, rice was good! Pricey!
Service: Me and my friend were seated right when we walked in, super awesome! The lady that was helping us the entire night was so helpful, she checked up on us to make sure everything was tasting as it should and if we needed anything else. Awesome! Especially compared to Tofu House just a couple minutes away.
Anyway, saw a boy I used to talk to. Expected him to just go about his shift normally. He tells his 3 other coworkers. My friend can see them whispering to each other in the back. Ideally, when I’m eating dinner, I don’t want all the employees to be trying to get a glimpse of what their coworkers x look like, but this didn’t happen. One of the girls literally walked over to pick up a piece of trash just to get a glimpse of me… SUPER unprofessional! (She could have asked how our meal was going) And to top it all off, the dude, who btw has been avoiding contact with me this whole evening, decides it would be a good idea if he was the one who handed me the check? I even said Hi -.- Honestly, I’m just speechless that I had this experience here!
Would probably come again thought if I am craving Korean food because Tofu House service is ehhh.
*Tip to owner:* If any of your employees sees someone that they’ve had past relations with, let them know to handle the situation respectfully so that the customer (me) can still enjoy their meal without feeling uncomfortable.

Good food, good service. Came here twice. Once with a girlfriend and once with my kids. Will probably only come back with grown ups and sans kids since it was quite pricey compare to other Korean places I’ve been to. Interior is really nice and looks fancy. Service was great!
We ordered a rice cake noodle soup that didn’t have the spicy symbol on it but it still arrived spicy and my kids couldn’t really eat it. You would think by default no spicy symbol, it meant not spicy at all but make sure you check with them if u r ordering it for kids. But the waiter was nice and insist to change it for us so that was very nice of them.
Overall, good but a bit overpriced especially the ramen.

$$$ and it was the lunch menu. On average every item is about $ 2 more than its peers with smaller serving portions. The tofu soup was served in the smallest ceramic pot I’ve seen. Ever. The banchan variety and flavor is average. They were also served in conservative portions.
Service is easily confused. Order was relayed incorrectly then had to have at least 3 different hostesses decipher the miscommunication– none of them who was the original one that took the order. No, she was not on break. Luckily we all had no work meetings because this confusion tacked on an additional 30 minutes of dining time.
Go Goong is still working out a lot of operations and service kinks. Hopefully in a couple more months everything will run a little more smoother.

First, this is not a place for bbq at your table.
Having said that, I ordered seafood pancake, beef tofu soup, grilled mackerel, and bbq beef short ribs (LA cut). The panchan took much longer to come than I’ve experienced at a typical Korean restaurant. Food came out late, nervous looking inattentive servers with less than 30 percent tables being occupied. Something felt out of place with the staff. Asked for simple things like forks for the kids, place setting for people at the table, and it comes one-​at-​a-​freakin-​time for each person… omg. No refills on panchan, tea or water.
Nice looking staff and décor, but I hate to be here when it’s any busier and I am hungry for food.
I Hate to say the K-​restaurant newcomer to town that I wanted to be awesome, is a regrettable flop.

Looking for simple dinner after Christmas shopping. Stopped by here, waited about 10 minutes for a table. It was packed when I got there. Once seated, tea was brought out right away. Gave us time to look over the menu. All the wait staffs were courteous and attentive. Ordered the seafood pancake, it was good but the middle was a bit under done. Had the sweet and spicy chicken wings, piping hot but too spicy for my taste. The beef tofu stew was delicious and the kalbi was tasty, albeit the price. The hot stone rice was yummy but hubby thought it was too spicy. We were check in on by 3 of the wait staff, great customer service. A lot of banchans but it was a very small amount on the plates, they were very nice and accommodating and gave more once you request for more. No attitude from them. Definitely a must try.

Nicely decorated new Korean restaurant with decent food. Prices are competitive and maybe even better than other local places. Tried the cow knee with bone broth soup and was disappointed but wanted to try something different. Next time going to have chicken wings and short ribs.

(3.5 stars)
Well. This is embarrassing. I’ll just make a disclaimer to all before writing this review: I’m AWFUL at directions — really, really, really awful. It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve been to a location — it doesn’t matter how many landmarks I recognize (I can somehow convince myself I recognize them all) — it doesn’t matter that I’ve lived at X for Y many years — the possibility of being lost is always lurking in the background. My life and breath often depend on GPS. — yes, it’s quite sad — and no, there isn’t anything I can do about it.
ANYWAYS, my brother and I were craving some good Korean food and decided to go to our beloved TOFU HOUSE in Dublin. We hopped into the car and I took off, convinced I would magically end up at my destination through a good bit of intuition and luck (sometimes it actually works…). HOWEVER, LO and BEHOLD, I drive and drive, and somehow end up HERE INSTEAD OF TOFU HOUSE?!? Don’t ask me where I went wrong — I’m sure it’s close by somewhere. We decided to forgo pinpointing where I went wrong — dining at Go Goong would be fine — at least it’s still Korean food right?
MMM, as soon as we entered in the restaurant, we were hit with the delicious aroma of Korean food — spicy, flavorful, wonderful Korean food. Two families entered in after us and BOTH families also remarked on how good the food smelled. The restaurant was PACKED to capacity — a lot of people dining in, enjoying their evening. I even saw a company party (25-​ish people?) eating together on one side of the restaurant. The restaurant is very clean, wooden tables, simple decorations — a modern take on a traditional Korean dining restaurant?
My brother and I waited 15-​ish minutes for an available table (not bad for a Saturday night). He ordered the hot stone bibimbap (standard) and I ordered half seafood/​half beef spicy kimchi soup. Both dishes came out rather promptly with an assortment of small dishes — Go gives a great selection of different appetizers although each portion is incredibly, incredibly small (three small pieces of potato, three broccoli, etc.). The appetizer portion for families of four/​five looked about the same — I definitely don’t think it would have been enough had our party consisted of more than my brother and I.
The bibimbap came out on a flat bowl, which allowed the colors of the food to be displayed in all it’s glory (seriously, the family next to us could not stop looking at our food). The bibimbap wasn’t bad — the flat stone bowl helped to crisp up the rice faster (although the egg also got cooked through in the process). My brother really enjoyed his meal — there was not a GRAIN of rice on his plate when he finished. The kimchi soup was also rather standard — very spicy (which was nice). Although both dishes were substantially large, Go Goong gave very small portions of meat/​seafood in both — which seems a little disappointing considering the prices Go Goong charges (little more than other Korean restaurants in the area).
Service was great! We had a male waiter who was very consistent in checking in on us, not rushing us (despite the growing crowd waiting to come in…), and was generous with tea/​water.
Overall, Go Goong is certainly not a BAD restaurant — the location is very pretty, and clean. I do think the prices are a little high for the quality/​quantity of food. I may come again if Tofu House is booked out.

New, clean, bright place with good service. Waitress checked on us multiple times on a busy Friday night. Went here because the other Korean restaurant on Amador closed at 8pm and this place stays open later.
We are on a Fried Chicken appetizer binge and ordered this to start. The wings and drumsticks came out of the fryer hot, hot, hot. Just like it should be! The batter is light and might be a rice powder /​tapioca batter? Tasty and hot, what more can you ask for. The Seafood Pancake looked huge on the next table and we’ll try next time. We stayed with one appetizer.
I had Soft Tofu Mushroom soup and the sig other had the Cold Noodles. The waitress cracked the egg into the soup and cut the noodles for us after asking us. We could do it ourselves but why not let them help! Thanks for the service. Both orders were tasty and enough for one person.
As for Banchan, they brought out around 11 dishes that were standard although a little skimpy on the portions. We didn’t order any BBQ meat dishes which looked average size for the Bay Area but still nothing close to SoCal portions.
Glad to have another Korean restaurant in the area (4 – 5 within a few miles of each other) as competition is always good for us Customers.
For the new restaurant Management, the floors are dark parquet and dropped food — especially rice, paper, etc will be very visible. Suggest that the busser look to sweep after a table clears each time. You know how food falls out of little kids’ mouths!

Atmosphere: Clean and tidy!
Cost: Expensive!!! ~ Lunch specials are over priced (I got the chicken lunch special $ 12.99!!)
Quality of food: Average. Compared to the place across the way (we’ll call it «O»), taste of the food seems quite similar but the cost is 20% more here. :(
Service: Decent. A smile wouldn’t kill them but the staff was courteous and attentive.

Another disappointing Korean restaurant in the Tri-​Valley.
Prices are 10−25% higher than the competition. Portions are 10−25% smaller as well.
Spicy beef soup was okay. I’ve definitely had better.
The Galbi was a major disappointment. 5 paltry pieces on a bed of onions on a non-​sizzling iron platter.
Side dishes were okay but the waitresses were in no hurry to refill anything.
Service is below average. Slow and hesitant.

We don’t go to many grand openings because of the usual issues: small menu, lack of service/​inexperienced staff, and the food quality isn’t always the greatest. We decided to try this place out because I had a hankering for some Korean food. It’s located in the back of a strip mall, next to the UPS store and by Café Tapioca. The place is very clean looking (both in décor and cleanliness). The place was busy but we were seated right away. The menu was rather large and there were a lot of lunch options, but we were there during dinner time.
Our orders included:
Spicy rice cakes with cheese — oh goodness I loved this dish so much! It had a nice tomatoey taste that’s different from other places, had veggies (green bell peppers, etc.), fish cakes were really good (I’m never a fan of them but I made an exception for this dish), and it had just the right amount of spice.
Tofu Soup (medium) with beef — very good flavors. About the same type of soup you’d get some other Korean places.
Galbi ribs — most expensive item but was pretty good. Serving size was alright but the meat was tender and yummy.
We got pumpkin porridge and salad to start with. I absolutely loved the porridge! It was sweet but not overly sweet and delicious! There were a ton banchan. We each got a little fried mackerel to go with our meal. First time I’ve had that with banchan and it was pretty good!
Overall, I’d rate this a ⁴⁄₅. I want to try more before I really give it a ⁵⁄₅. I felt the service was good, the food came quickly, and the meal itself was delicious.
This place definitely had the best openings we’ve ever been to. I recommend you try it out for yourself!

We dined here for dinner, and my husband, son and I spent $ 95 between the three of us — and my son is only 4.5 years old! We ordered a seafood tofu, kalbi, jap chea and fried chicken wings. My husband had one beer, and with tax and tip we paid $ 95. Although the food was not too bad, the price is too steep.
As expected of a new restaurant, everything is clean and the décor is nice. However, the service was slow and I found the restaurant to be really really warm (especially if you walk in expecting to eat a hot bowl of korean tofu).

Go Goong’s banner touts Korean B.B.Q and Tofu Soup. the usual bibimbap, japchae, fried rice, rice cakes, fried chicken wings, etc. also present.
décor is austere, simple, tastefull. no flatscreen.
eats:spicey glazed chicken (7/8.99)
–tender meat, skin heavily glazed with sweet and chili-​hot spicines.
–wings neither jumbo nor petitte, whole medium sized wings.
3.75 stars
banchan:
–lunch menu (11 – 3)days not specified
–notice lots of banchan dishes on another table.
–think an afghan eatery was here years ago.
