Gogi Time: Authentic Korean BBQ Experience in Oakland, CA

My first time here it was amazing quite chill me and my daughter had a great time up until some people came in and the little boy wouldn’t stop crying/screaming cause his phone stop working overall I loved it

We had a blast and the food was so delicious it was hard not to let my eyes be bigger than my stomach! Grill was changed out consistently and there were plenty of options on the All You Can Eat Menu. The playlist of music being played was the perfect addition to the good time we were having. I would totally recommend this place for the food experience, it's not the fanciest or trendiest on the inside but we still had a blast and left more full than on Thanksgiving lol.

This place is the quintessential Korean BBQ joint. Definitely not to be enjoyed alone. One other person will do but the more the merrier. The spicy pork is out of this world, the cucumber salad sauce amplifies everything. The staff is very friendly and attentive and you get what you pay for. Not cheap but absolutely an experience. Great place for a celebration or if you just like playing with your food

Didnt catch his name but he was super nice. Recommend the peach lemonade they had fireee.

Wasn’t sure what to expect because hadn’t had Korean BBQ in this area, but it turned out a great experience. First thing I noticed is they’re very nice. Very welcoming. That sets the tone. Next thing I noticed is they have a fairly large rectangular grill which is better than the circles I usually see. And they are fast about changing the grill expeditiously as it gets gunked up with the sauces. It’s spacious and yet urban nice inside. Perhaps a little dark but different strokes for different folks. We were in the side room which was darker. About $40 for the all you can eat, which I would recommend. You get two appetizers and four meats at a time. Also can get a couple sides and/or veggies. Good selection of meats. And the meats are GOOD portion size. And good thickness. Excellent soup and sides. Specifically the tofu soup. Softener kinds of rice. All goodness. You will leave here full of you get the all you can eat. Parking lot is a little odd. Slotted, angled spaces; so you need to back out to the street to exit. But at least they have a posting lot at all! Better than street parking.

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 wet wipes or more napkins from the start (grilling is a messy process), and cleaner restrooms. But the service and the food was great, so I'm still giving a 5 star review.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just left Gogi Time here in Oakland — what an amazing experience! Tyler and Tanya were my servers, and they were absolutely incredible. 10/10 service all around! They were attentive, courteous, and consistently checked in to make sure we were happy with our order. The food came out quickly, everything was fresh and flavorful, and the overall vibe was great. Definitely recommend this spot — and if you go, ask for Tyler and Tanya!

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 favorite thing we got. We also got the garlic pork belly, shrimp, brisket, sirloin.. pretty much everything on the menu. Everything was fantastic. The service was amazing as well. We never felt like we were missing food or was waiting for more. They also come around change out your burner top so it’s always clean. If you really need convincing and your not just sure. Just walk in front of the building and you’ll be convinced by the amazing aroma of Korean BBQ food!
