-Old review-
Any new Korean restaurant in the valley is welcome and always a good sign of the growing community!
My g/f and I got there a little later than our usual dinner time, but was glad that they were open until 10pm (which is always good). I've noticed a trend that the Korean restaurants in the west valley are generally open until 11pm or even later, while the east valley restaurants close no later than 10pm.
The first thing I noticed was the classy decor of the restaurant, but was a little perplexed of the "no-grill in the table". Perhaps they bring out a mini-burner like Hodori? With the restaurant named "meat" I would assume that is their specialty, but I will save that for another visit as I did not see any people with the burner - please keep in mind it was 9pm so I wasn't expecting the restaurant to be packed.
Anyways, I ordered the mae-un-tang (spicy fish stew) and my g/f ordered the kimchi tofu soup. The side dishes came out very quickly and we were served kimchi, radish kimchi, pickled radish slices, bean sprouts, spinach, and fish cake stir fry. The radish kimchi was a little bland for my liking but the rest were pretty good.
The tofu soup was the first dish to make it out - while it had decent flavor, it didn't really compare to some of the tofu-specialty restaurants in the valley - but that's okay, we really didn't expect "blow my mind" tofu soup since the restaurant's name was Gogi (meat). My spicy fish stew came out not long afterwards and was served in a traditional shallow and wide pot. Glad I ordered that - it was pretty delicious. The whitefish was nice and soft and had all of the fixings that it should have had.
Service was pretty good overall~ I'd definitely like to come back and try the meat dishes!
