Guest sentiment

"Me and my partner come here very often and will still said that this is the best Korean restaurant in Christchurch. Perfect food, nice staff and the atmosphere. Will come back again as it’s worth all the price we paid."
"GOGI Korean BBQ & Karaoke is such a fun and lively spot for a night out. The atmosphere is energetic, especially once the karaoke rooms get going, making it perfect for groups, birthdays, or casual celebrations. The BBQ experience is interactive and enjoyable, with a good variety of meats and sides to choose from. The marinated options were particularly flavorful, and the banchan added a nice balance to the meal. Service was friendly and helpful, especially when explaining how the grill works and checking in throughout the meal. A couple of items took a little while to come out during busy periods, but overall the experience was smooth and enjoyable. If you’re looking for good Korean BBQ paired with a fun karaoke vibe, GOGI is definitely worth a visit."
"Amazing food and excellent service. The FOH manager kindly let us in 20 mins before opening as we were drenched from the rain. He had a great sense of humour and made us feel very welcome. Loved the seafood pancake and corn cheese. Filling, tasty and great portion sizes. The soju ice bar drinks were lovely too. Would visit again when in Christchurch. Thanks team!"
"Gogi is the only Korean BBQ restaurant I’ve been to in Christchurch, and it turned out to be a great experience! The food was fresh, flavorful, and really fun to cook right at the table. Every meat cut was well-marinated and tender, and the side dishes added a nice balance of flavor and texture. You can tell they put real care into the ingredients and presentation. The staff were friendly, patient, and helpful. They checked in often to make sure we had what we needed. The restaurant has a relaxed, welcoming vibe, perfect for friends, family, or even a casual date night. Prices were fair for the quality and portion sizes, and everything came out quickly and nicely arranged. Overall, Gogi is a great spot for anyone wanting to try Korean BBQ in Christchurch — I’ll definitely be back for another round!"
"We went for a birthday dinner with my partner and had a wonderful experience. Although there were fewer chicken options on the mains menu, the staff kindly accommodated our request, and the chef prepared it just the way we wanted. The food was absolutely delicious, full of rich flavors, and came with plenty of side dishes. The staff were very attentive and provided excellent service throughout. They also offer barbecue options and karaoke bookings, which makes the place even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be visiting this lovely restaurant again!"
"Really nice and chatty staff, much better than other places that greet you but then talk amongst themselves. The Kareoke rooms are a good vibe and simple to use! Have most music and I would say is constantly updated!"
"KBBQ & KAROAKE??? Must I say more?! Fantastic. Our server was awesome. We had fried squid to share which was munched down so quickly and paired with the coleslaw was even better. We ordered a Korean bbq set menu for 2 people, and it fed 3 of us easily. There were SO many side dishes that were so delicious! I highly recommend the pork belly, kimchi & seafood pancake. We had food left over and headed over to karaoke afterwards. The pricing is a little pricier than other Korean bbq places in Christchurch, but we had a really great experience here."
"Really yummy and well worth a visit. We had the pork and beef meal set for 2, but substituted the included beef short rib for the boneless eye fillet. The cuts are generous and tender, the inclusions with the BBQ set are flavourful and the sauces are really tasty. I also had the strawberry Soju and it was delicious!"
