Goku Korean BBQ & Hot Pot

S L H 4 months ago

The food is exceptional, just be careful not to burn it since the grill is gas flame and gets hot fast. The spicy salmon was the best. Do not sit at D-5. The wall and no fan creates a tunnel that will push all the smoke in your face. The grill will smoke so just be sure you have ventilation. Service is excellent except for the hostess/front situation which is a hot mess.

The food was very mediocre. 4 out of the 8 people at the table got sick 2-3 hours after the meal. The meat was not of good quality, like you could just taste it. The service was awful, multiple times things we ordered didn’t show up. Our water was NEVER refilled not even once. And twice they came around with the wrong items, things we had not ordered. They charged us a service fee of 18% because of our large group, even though it was never mentioned or posted anywhere at the front (see photo). And more egregious was that we asked and the “service charge” didn’t directly go to the waiter. Most restaurants which have that kind of auto 18% charge make it a gratuity for the waiter. On the receipt too, the recommended tip amounts also included the amount in the service charge. Like why should I tip another 20% on the 50 dollars which was just service charge??? Absolutely ridiculous.

Solid place for an AYCE Kbbq in the bay area. The lunch deal price is great, but heads up that on holidays they charge u the dinner price for lunch (ex: MLK day like when I went). They have a sauce bar with lots of good options, and a bunch of fruits to have as a snack later. The meat itself has some good options, and as a kbbq newbie, I liked it but was not impressed by anything - the quality according to my friends was just okay. The galbi was good, and I liked the bulgogi. Service was a little slow, we didnt get some dishes (ex:lettuce wrap) and it took them forever to bring out some stuff. But our waitress I think just got super busy. We could sit there and finish eating after our time was up! They have a bathroom inside as well!

We had a birthday celebration 🎂. The birthday person gets a free meal but it must be done on the day of their birthday. We prefer this place from others because of their selection of seafood is better. We sat down close to the bar but our booth had the table so close to the seat that it was so hard getting in or out. The vent was blowing cold air which made it uncomfortable but I understand its needed to circulate the hot food. Loved the order lcd menu, we order at our table and people brings them out quickly. Pro: Food, Service and order system Cons: Table and cold

I had a great time at Goku Korean BBQ! The atmosphere was cozy and modern, and the grill setup made the whole experience fun and interactive. The meat selection was fresh and high-quality — especially the short ribs, which were juicy and flavorful. The side dishes were delicious and varied, from kimchi to marinated vegetables, adding a perfect balance to the rich meats. Service was friendly and attentive, and the food came out quickly. Overall, it’s a great spot for anyone craving authentic and tasty Korean BBQ. Highly recommended!
