Gooyi Gooyi is the authentic charcoal Korean BBQ experience that has minimal frills and all the nostalgia of kbbq as it once was. Banchan was plentiful with free refills (many places are now requesting $$ for more than one refill) and included radish and rice paper wraps. Ssamjang dip and garlic were excellent touches. Service was swift (we were there at 5p sharp) as they cook the meat for you right on the grill. It is a small restaurant so keep that in mind though they do take reservations for larger groups. Parking is...difficult as it's a small plaza; may need circle over to the side streets. The eats: - went with the combo #1 for two people (brisket and pork belly) + steamed egg (fluffy, wish there was a bit more flavor though) + soybean soup (decent) for $65.99. Probably enough by itself - for the splurge: added seafood pancake (perfectly crispy yet soft inside...one of the better ones I've had) and the fried rice which includes kimchi and bean sprouts ($16). Probably went a bit overboard with the fried rice but worked great as leftovers. Pro tip: add some gojuchang sauce to the fried rice leftovers at home. Overall, excellent meal. Homey, down to earth environment and delicious.

**This is a DoorDash experience We ordered a combo 1 through DoorDash on a Thursday night and oh boy were we stunned with the amount of food we got! The banchan, meat, soup, and rice were perfectly packaged which was amazing! They gave us around 8-10 different banchans which were all so yummy! Then the meat was delicious and perfectly cooked. The soybean soup was packed with flavor as well! The kimchi spam fried rice was alright, not the best I've had but the portion was ginormous so that was a winner. I really enjoyed the DoorDash experience and would definitely try this spot in person!

Best Korean spot in Korea Town, Sunnyvale. We located this spot while scrolling for a late night spot to eat around our neighborhood. We often used to late night doordash from this spot and always had great food. We opted for Korean BBQ and the minimum is two meats - we chose the pork belly & brisket. Immediately after ordering, a heaping amount of banchan came out and we barely had any room on our table. It also came with super yummy steamed eggl. The meat came out next and I was completely not expecting the waitress to start cooking for us. I'm so used to doing it myself when going out to eat so I was appreciative of the service. The meat was cooked faster than we were able to eat between two of us - but it was good! We ended up finishing our meal in under 15 minutes. We will definitely be returning!

We've driven past this spot countless times but never ventured inside--until now. Celebrating a personal milestone, we finally gave it a try, and wow, we wish we'd come sooner! On a packed Friday night, the lively atmosphere set the tone: tables full of smiling groups enjoying incredible KBBQ. We opted for a set meal and were thrilled when the servers not only brought everything out but cooked it for us right at the table. The meat? High quality and perfectly cooked (no risky burning the dinner for me here!) This isn't a fancy spot, but it's full of charm. The owner treats everyone like family, striking up warm conversations with regulars and newcomers alike. The star of the night was the kimchi fried rice, prepared tableside. So, the next time you drive by, don't just pass it--stop in and treat yourself. You'll leave full, happy, and already planning your return!

Love this place for the sides and meats!!! Totally professional and the service is helpful, sweet and straight to the point. The food is cooked beautifully by the staff and has a wonderful smokiness from the grill they use. Meat is cooked to the perfect doneness, there's no guessing here! For drinks I recommend the ginseng soju it's got a light sweetness and great honey like flavor.

We continued our tour of the Korean BBQ in the Bay Area with a friends birthday dinner at Gooyi Gooyi. We think it was our favorite so far. The meat was tasty and they had these cool grills heated with natural coals. The staff are so friendly and they do most of the cooking for you. The only thing I'd caution against is the kimchi fried rice if you don't like seaweed as it is very heavy on the seaweed. They are generous with the sides and sauces. We did have to pay for lettuce wraps which was odd but we didn't mind since the food was so good. They also have beer, wine, soju and a good selection of soft drinks.

This place is absolutely authentic from ambiance, service to food variety with a reasonable price. I will never be disappointed every time I visit this place. I visited this place for multiple occasions with coworkers, friends and family gathering. Parking: they may have ice-cream cones reserved for you, please let them know you're eating there so they will let you park there. Please do not park else where because they only have limited parking spots available.

I been here a hand full of times and it's always been satisfying. I like the vibe here. I get the combo that comes with the soju. Service is good! They cook the meat well and always refill the sides. Parking is limited at times but I was able to find street parking. This place is always packed because the food is great!

** Visited on 7/3/2024 around 10pm I have been coming here for a few years now, and their food is pretty good but their service can be a hit or miss. This restaurant is a bit small, and the parking situation is pretty tough if they're super busy. My tip is to park in the residence by the light and to walk if you're not able to find any parking spots in their lot. Note that this restaurant's vibe is a eat, drink and talk so expect it to be on the more loud-ish side :-) OKAY THE FOOD: The food here is pretty good, we've been coming here for YEARS and it's honestly in our top 5 favorite restaurants for KBBQ. I'm usually visiting with a group of 2-5 and I've found #2 combo to be the perfect amount of food. We also add in kimchi fried rice (we ask to have it in the beginning of the meal rather than wait until we've eaten the meat cuts and then they'd cook the fried rice on the cauldron lid). Their side dishes car PLENTY and they'll refill any of your side dishes. If you get the salad and a bowl of green onions, trust me when I say to mix them together- it's super tasty and the perfect side salad for any combo. Key notes: * PLENTY of side dishes * pretty fresh cuts * combos are well worth the money * try to reserve a table ahead of time, if not then it's first come first serve

The meats were super yummy, and our waitresses cooked everything for us. She was taking care of all of us in the back room, but she was still attentive to our meal. Maybe too attentive haha, we couldn't keep up with the eating. This was more than enough for three people. It comes with different types of meat, a salad, steamed egg, and a soup. Fair warning, they will make sure you have at least one order of meat per person! Overall, food was great, service was great, but the price was slightly steep. We left at ~60 per person.
