Goong Korean BBQ Restaurant

visiting Vegas and we wanted a good meal. While driving around we do Goong. #1 - 10 stars for being dog friendly. My 2 dogs are service dogs. Always quiet and behave. I told them they will be on the chair but not floor since they are very clean dogs. Cleaner than other humans. They welcomed both of them. To me that's a big big deal. I would literally walk out of a restaurant if they look down on them. 2) food - extremely delicious. From the side dishes to the main dishes of marinated meats, soups etc.. we all loved it. The flavor wasn't too much.. they were just flavored and seasoned just right. We were really stuffed. 3) service- impeccable. From the hosts who seated us and to the gentleman who made sure we were happy and our needs taken care of. Hands down the next service ever.. he was extremely friendly and on top of things. 4) ambiance - clean and inviting. Very comfy feeling. These are 4 keys that would definitely make us want to return, recommend and rehash this memorable experience. So if you haven't tried Goong Bbq on Rainbow, Vegas.. time to check it out and not miss out. Great job and thank you

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Goong Korean BBQ, a jewel in the culinary landscape of Las Vegas that seamlessly blends tradition and modern elegance. Founded in April 2016 by owner David Shim, Goong Korean BBQ is dedicated to redefining the Korean barbecue experience by emphasizing the exquisite flavors of premium meats and providing impeccable service. Located near the Spring Valley area, the interior of Goong Korean BBQ is a stunning fusion of contemporary sophistication and traditional Korean design, expertly brought to life by the award-winning designer Jinwoo Hwang. As soon as you enter, you are enveloped in an atmosphere that exudes modern refinement while paying homage to Korean heritage with its meticulously designed space, clean lines, and a subtle color palette that reflects both opulence and tradition. At Goong Korean BBQ, diners can choose from a variety of seating options. They can opt for the traditional Korean seating on a raised platform with mats, which offers a more intimate and authentic experience. Alternatively, they can enjoy the comfort of modern chairs or booths. This diverse arrangement of seating options creates a serene environment, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the exceptional food and the shared dining experience. During my visit, I had the pleasure of experiencing the Goong Premium Selection, a thoughtfully curated assortment that showcased the restaurant's dedication to quality. The Angus Beef Brisket was a standout, delivering a mouthwatering, buttery flavor perfectly complemented by the subtle smokiness from grilling. The Japchae, featuring glossy glass noodles with a delightful blend of sweetness and earthy tones from mushrooms and vegetables, was elevated by adding fresh garlic and jalapeño, while the steamed egg provided a comforting contrast. The Angus Beef Brisket, a standout from the Goong Premium Selection, was a true testament to the restaurant's dedication to quality. It delivered a mouthwatering, buttery flavor that was perfectly complemented by the subtle smokiness from grilling. The LA Beef Short Ribs, another highlight, were both tender and flavorful, showcasing the culinary expertise and premium ingredients that set Goong Korean BBQ apart. In conclusion, Goong Korean BBQ isn't just a restaurant; it's a destination for aficionados of fine Korean cuisine who appreciate the artistry and meticulous attention to detail. The stunning design, exemplary service, and an unwavering commitment to the finest ingredients make Goong Korean BBQ a standout in Las Vegas's vibrant dining scene. It's a place where the tradition of Korean barbecue is passionately celebrated and elevated, offering a dining experience that is as soul-satisfying as it is palate-pleasing.

Service received a 3 star because I felt we were being rushed during our entire meal. We got premium level, I don't know if it was really worth it. Portions of the meats were smaller than other places we've visited, however, meats were good quality.

We went here for dinner. There was no line, we were seated quickly. There were lots of parking spaces as well. The service was quick, and we were given the side dishes while waiting for our main dishes. Out of the many Korean BBQ AYCE we've been to, this place serves the least side dishes. I liked their side salad and the macaroni salad. The kimchi wasn't good as I think it was just made and it didn't have time to ferment. We paid for the premium, which was $46.95 per person. Our server suggested the good meats and we tried them. They have wagyu beef cuts. The wagyu beef wasn't premium at all. We can barely notice the marbling on the meat. The meat was thinly cut, and when it stacked to the grill, it tore. The scallops were also cut so thinly that it shredded. We had to order some salt and pepper to add some flavor to the meat. The tiger shrimps were good, but you can only order 2 pcs per person. We also ordered a tofu soup which I like cause it wasn't overpowering. All in all, this place is just a regular Korean BBQ AYCE. It looks fancy outside, but the food wasn't that great. Our server was really nice, though, and very attentive. I am giving his service a 4. But the other servers were just standing on the sides and don't even check in on you. We had so many Korean places who checks in on you so many times while you're eating. Will I come back? Probably not. This place is overrated and overpriced. If you're looking for a good Korean BBQ AYCE, the Kogi at Eastern is way better. They are cheaper at 29.95 per person and you get so much good meat. Their tomahawk was really tender and very good cut of meat.

This is a family staple in the vegas community for Korean food. My mom is Korean and fully approves of Goong. We love the quality, taste, generous sides dishes and service here. Not to mention the prices are unbeatable. If you are feeling up for KBBQ, it’s under $30 per person for all you can eat! The ambiance feels high end and verys spacious, great for big groups as well.
