Reviews of Gogi Kitchen - Downtown, Calgary
from Google🤤 I really enjoyed this place! The tteokbokki was great, not too spicy and very well served. I usually eat a lot, and the portion was more than enough for me. 🥛One suggestion I have is to please provide water jugs or a self-serve water station. Personally, I like to stay well hydrated while eating, and it would make things easier for both customers and staff. I didn’t give 5 stars for the food because the coffee ☕ wasn’t good at all, it tasted very bitter. The service was good overall, but there was a point where they seemed overwhelmed with orders, so it took a bit longer to get attention. For example, I asked for a glass of water and it took quite a while to receive it, which is why I think a self-serve option would really help and avoid interrupting the cashier when they’re busy. The atmosphere was nice, but the music was a bit too loud. I would suggest something more relaxed. I would definitely come back whenever I’m craving tteokbokki again!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had a great experience at Gogi Kitchen in downtown Calgary! The food was delicious, flavorful, and served fresh. The portions were generous, and everything we ordered was really satisfying. The staff were also friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a great spot if you’re looking for tasty Korean food downtown. I’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommended! 🇰🇷🍜
First time trying today Absolutely delicious! The teriyaki beef was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly with just the right amount of sauce. The gyoza were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and paired perfectly with the meal. Portions were generous, everything tasted fresh, and the service was excellent. I'll definitely be coming back to try more! Highly recommended! ☆☆☆☆☆
Gogi Kitchen is a true hidden gem—small in size but big on flavor. Don’t let the modest space fool you; what this spot lacks in square footage, it makes up for tenfold in taste. The prices are refreshingly budget-friendly, yet there’s no corner-cutting when it comes to quality or portion size. Every dish feels carefully prepared, proving that great food doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. If you’re after a cozy, unpretentious spot that delivers real value without sacrificing what matters most, Gogi Kitchen is well worth seeking out.
Food is really worth the price! Very filling and delicious choices. A great place to hangout with friends and family. Very calm and nice place to eat at.
Love the food and the prices!
I seen an employee brushing teeth in the common area for like 10 min straight.
This place smells wonderful
Update Oct 22, 2026: Placed a pick up order for 11:15am. The food wasnt ready till 11:40am. If you are planning to do pick up order, plan your time especially if you are using your lunch time already. Been craving for korean food. 10 mins walk from work. I love how there is an option to make the servings big/jangsa! Also, i dont eat pork so its great the dumplings are vegetarian.
Very good
Stumbled across this place after getting off the ebus stop right across the street. The chicken katsu is so flavourful and crispy. All the items on the menu are quite affordable, will definitely come again!
Great value. Food quality higher than average, price good, and portions large. Food seems relatively healthy. Overall very good value. First picture is bibimbap, second is Dosirak. Also had the chicken curry (karage style), it was tasty, filling with lots (lots!) of rice and made with coconut milk. Tokoyaki seemed standard.
About Gogi Kitchen - Downtown, Calgary
At this downtown Korean street-food spot at 639 5 Avenue SW, ask at the counter before you order, especially for the BBQ and the fried chicken.
It is a fast-casual spot in the Gogi BBQ Canada group. The tteokbokki is a good bet: not too spicy, well served and generous. The teriyaki beef is tender, the gyoza are crispy, and the chicken karaage-style curry comes in coconut milk with plenty of rice. Bibimbap and dosirak are good value.
