Kogi Korean Grill

Today was our first visit to Koji Grill. The place was empty at 3 pm so we were worried for min. But we, my husband and I, went in anyway. We were greeted & seated by a very nice and welcoming waitress. She also helped us with our food choices. The food came out quick, hot, and it was delicious when it arrived. We tried 3 different food choices, and they all were good. This place is apparently a hidden gem. We will definitely be back now that we know it's there.

Overall, the food was great! I got the Kimchi Fried Rice & Cucumber Kimchi. Both were excellent! I could have eaten so much more Cucumber Kimchi. It was my first time trying it and it was great! The Kimchi Fried Rice was amazing as well! It was hot (temperature) which tells me it was made fresh! I had to let it cool down but once it did, there was not left behind! The atmosphere was quiet maybe I went at a bad time but there was two other customers there and it was very quiet. I went mid-afternoon this past Friday. The service was okay as well. The server/host just seemed like she did not want to be there. She was very quiet, almost timid.

Total hidden gem! The food is always on point, the prices are awesome and the staff is always so welcoming and friendly. I’m working my way through the menu now since I work close to this place and I have not been disappointed yet!

Overall experience was good. The food that was prepared hot was well seasoned and fresh, but they have sides that are placed under chilled and non-chilled category. That was not the case. All the sides were so cold they were inedible. The place itself was nice, though, for whatever reason, it did give slightly seedy vibes, whether it was the fact that place is off to the side in a dark abandoned area of a shopping strip or the fact that the place was completely empty but dealt a lot of take out orders or maybe even the giant hole in the door of the bathroom. Either way, the meal was good, and the experience was interesting. 🤔 Try the fruit punch soju!

I was quite excited to try this great looking restaurant, but as someone who’s eaten lots of Korean food and Asian cuisines, I was a bit disappointed with the quality and authenticity of the foods. I ordered the spicy Korean bacon dish and was not too impressed with the spice flavor and the overwhelming amount of jalapeños in it. The egg rolls were very bland and sauce barely complemented the flavor. You are also only given 3 side dishes from a small list of options. Fortunately the side dishes were decent! For the price I was paying I would definitely like to have more options of dishes and would have expected better quality Korean flavor and taste.
