Reviews of Gogi Jip Korean BBQ Restaurant

I. K.

Best Korean in NZ. Generous side dishes, flavoursome food, good service, fast. Reasonable price too. Highly recommended.

Authentic Korean flavours, but portions aren't compatible with the price. Side dishes don't have much varieties but quite special and some the jelly one is tasty, too bad that need to pay to top up side dishes individually. Waitress is really polite.

J. F.

Expensive for a Korean food craving. Nice Korean restaurant, definitely on the pricey side. Great, friendly service. The side dishes (panchan) were great. We ordered pork belly to grill at our table, as well as the dolsot bibimbap and spicy tteokboki. The miso soup came out almost cold, would've been nicer had it come out hot. The pork belly was delicious, as was the dolsot bibimbap. The tteokboki was average. All in all, a lovely meal. It was unfortunate they didn't let you do a combo deal for the grilled meats. You had to order each meat separately for anywhere ranging from $50+ per meat for a 2-person portion. We've eaten at other Korean restaurants where you can get all-you-can-eat meat for $25 total per person. So, this restaurant felt very expensive, but a treat as it was nice to eat some Korean food again.

Delicious food, the service we received was so amazing, and the atmosphere was nice. The meals served rapidly and the rates were reasonable. Highly recommended and will definitely come back again.

S. B.

Oh man….:this place is just too fab. Neat, tidy, well lit, heaps of space and the food……six stars!

I love the sides which come with the meals. Delicious foods!

P. S.

The lunch deal(16$) is insanely good and so is the food. look at what you get (for 2). friendly staff. I'm giving 5stars not because of the price, but for the taste. otherwise it would be 7. try the spicy pork

I. L.

Nice place with rather authentic Korean food. Some dishes were on the pricier side but otherwise a good place to check out to satisfy your Korean/ Asian food cravings. Meals came with complementary side dishes.

R. L.

Amazing food, well priced and good customer service! We literally only drive to Wanaka for Korean food!

S. H.

Really nice tasting food they’ve got from Chinese point of view. I feel it’s better than most of the Korean restaurants in Auckland.

J. C.

Nice, clean restaurant with friendly service and good Korean food. My partner loved the cold noodles which had some Nashi pear in it that went really well with it; I liked my bibimbap, but it could've done with more in a serve, as it was a bit small.

F. H.

Here we come again.... $16 lunch special is great deal!! Every time when we don’t know what we should have with friends, this restaurant become our regulars option!! Good portion of meal, love their side dish!!

m. l.

Super nice Korean restaurant, Korean operate, all the food taste very local. Super like the season fried chicken, each time bring my fd to here, they all like it. The side dish is doing great too, just a sham that they don't served regard to how many person u hv. Each time we need to fight for the dish😂. Pay extra $2 for extra side dish

A. C.

Nice food and friendly staff! We ordered half fried chicken, 1pp Samgyeupsal and Kimchi Pancake. Kimchi pancake is huge and it's very different from what we had back in Melbourne. Oh, and lots of side dishes!

C. &. I. P.

Very authentic and delicious Korean food. Quick service and Price was very reasonable!

X. R.

Nice food, great service. Will definitely go back again

Z. O.

Great food. The beef steak is delicious. Our best meal in New Zealand.

D. H.

I've tried cold noodles all over auckland and this place has the best flavor I've ever tasted. Very refreshing on a hot summers day. Would totally recommend to anyone. All the ingredients and side dishes as fresh as it gets, reminded me of home cooked meals I've eaten growing up.

N. S.

This place is a little culinary adventure. A hidden treasure hidden away in Wanaka. We had a variety of meals, all were tasty. The spicy fried chicken was delicious. Be open to trying something new. The dishes might not be what you expect of asian cuisine but well worth trying. Delicious. Thank you

J. R.

The best service and food. This place is a hidden gem !

M. B.

Quiet place but delicious food overall. The kimchi jjigae is perfect for the cold weather but the dolsot bibimbap could be improved by having a bit more sauce. The fried chicken is a winner for children. Reasonably portioned. Highly recommended.

w. k.

Great food. Reasonable priced. Friendly staff. Thumbs up

J. L.

If you are looking for fresh good quality delicious authentic Korean food you have come to a right place. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal tonight. Great service and delicious fresh food. Usually I shy from bbq Korean place as I would smell but strangely not this place. I am so impressed. Very clean quality establishment.

J. L.

Japchae is good! Fried chicken crispy but abit bland Overall I gave a 4 stars for the food quality and price

T. C.

Compare with another Korean restaurant in South Island , this is the better one , foods are above the average .

M. M.

O. V.

Good service. Good selection of side dishes.

D. B.

Just awesome! We ordered 1 plate each to share and couldn't finish it all and it was delicious. I recommend the sweet spicy fried chicken for sure. Yum

R. S. T.

Altang and cold noodles has the most authentic tatse. Its better than most of the Auckland Korean restaurant. Highly recommended to everyone.

N. L.

A great place with really good authentic food. We visit every time we are in Wanaka. Last visit i demolished the Yangnyeom Chicken (Sth Korean sticky fried chicken) almost all on my own.

D. K.

We often go to this restaurant for fried chicken from Queenstown. Have you ever been to Korea? The taste is exactly same as the Korean fried chicken. Also if anyone likes Korean spicey noodle which called Jambong you must go and have it. I am sure you would be satisfied. The staffs were fantastic service. It was a great experience i've ever had. Awesome!

C. L.

Very Korean, spicy and hot, nice food and service

N. D.

S. N.

Came here twice in consecutive days. Authentic Korean restaurant with delicious food and great service minded staff. Recommended.

S. F.

Yummy so good I got the fried chicken and seafood pancake, thanks so much 😊

L. K.

The food was alright although sometimes I felt like the food was not fresh (been there 3 times). Side dishes provided were not consistent. I went there with a group of six/seven. We got only a set while others who went with smaller like 1 or 2 also got 1. Friendly wait staff but the restaurant failed to provide value-adding services. We were desperate as we ran out of battery of our laptop (I know, my fault for forgetting the charger); the restaurant had the charger. The wait staff let us charge for a little bit but when the owner (I guess) came, she said a lot of things, so the staff stopped letting us charge. We came later to eat again, they wouldn't let us charge. It was just a charger, and we would just charge there while we were eating. Why so stingy?

20 nzd with rice & side dish

N. I.

Not bad korean restaurant.

T. T.

Delicious Korean food! We love the free kimchi side dishes. They come in generous size and with good variety.

R. O.

Nice Korean food! Taste good!

G. K.

Main dishes and complimentary side dishes are all very nice with no evident trace of MSG or such (정갈함). Food are nicely presented in clean enviroment. Dishes are authentic and easily approachable. Staffs are friendly also. Best Korean dining experience in Wanaka-Queenstown region I’d say.

K. V.

The waitress was very nice and the Kimchi stew was insanely good! Spivey and flavourful, pork fell off the bone and the broth was greats Stayed piping hot while I ate it and I wish I could have fit in more, good luck with the new opening and thank you will come back! Great Korean in a small town, didn’t expect it to be such good quality.

So the mood was good hasyeoseo my friends family so delicious too. I live in Queenstown enough to eat all the delicious restaurants operating in Wanaka. The boss is not always consistent workmanship food, friendly staff who's completely impressed! The food was so delicious! The owner helped us for our wedding Catering. All my family and friends loved fried chicken, dumplings and Japchae (Korean traditional noodles). I live in Queenstown but I drive to Wanaka for Korean food. The GoGiJip is the best Korean restaurant. So lovely owner and team. I am definitely coming back there again! (Original) 너무너무 맛있었어요.. 제 결혼식에 양념치킨이랑 간장치킨 그리고 잡채 ,만두 캐터링도 해주셨는데요... 제 친구들 가족들이 너무너무 맛있다고 하셔서 기분이 너무 좋았어요. 퀸스타운에 살지만요 와나카로 운전을 해서 먹고 올만큼 맛있는 식당 입니다. 항상 변함없는 사장님 음식 솜씨, 친절한 직원분들 완전 감동이에요!

(Translated) We wanted to try Korean food and we found this place inside a small shopping center, they have a variety of dishes, and the girls who served us very well, but be careful, but you don't like spicy or spicy food because if so, you may not like it this place. We ordered some dishes that were spicy and we said if they could take it off, they said yes, but it was still very strong. This kind of spicy food, for those who like it, but not me. (Original) Quisimos probar comida Koreana y Encontramos este sitio dentro de un pequeño centro comercial, tienen gran variedad de platos , y las chicas que nos atendieron muy bien, pero cuidado Sino te gusta la comida picante o muy condimentada porque si es así , quizás no te guste este lugar. Pedimos unos platos que llevaban picante y le dijimos que si podían quitárselo, nos dijeron que si , pero aún así estaba muy fuerte. Este tipo de comida tan condimentada, para quien le guste , a mi, más bien no.

(Translated) here. Cold noodle restaurant! Kimchi stew is plain but cold noodles are highly recommended !!! How is overseas more delicious than cold noodle shop in town? The staff are very friendly. I think it's good to eat Korean food abroad (Original) 여기. 냉면맛집이다!!! 김치찌개는 평범하였으나 냉면은 강추!!! 어떻게 해외가 동내 냉면집보다 맛있냐. 직원분들도 엄청친절. 해외에서 먹는 한식이 이정도면 훌륭하다고 생각합니다

(Translated) Good Korean food, special price for Chinese time, and side dishes (Original) 不錯的韓餐，中文時間有特價，還有附小菜

(Translated) Bibimbap is a bit spicier than other Korean restaurants, The leader likes the spicy beef soup here Fried chicken is also good The side dishes are a bit heavier than the Christchurch Art Village One of the recommended Korean restaurants (Original) 拌饭比别的韩国餐馆辣一点点，领导很喜欢这里的辣牛肉汤炸鸡也不错小菜比基督城艺村味道重一点点还是比较推荐的一家韩餐馆

(Translated) It's been a long time since I haven't eaten Korean food, but the gamjatang I packed today is good! It was nice to have several side dishes! (Original) 한국음식 안 먹은지 오래됐는데 오늘 포장해온 감자탕 맛있어용! 반찬도 여러개로 먹어볼 수 있어서 좋았어요!

(Translated) This is the best Korean food I've had on my trip to New Zealand for two weeks. I also found Korean restaurants in the North and South Island, but it's the best. Kimchi, I ate meat but it was very hard to eat The restaurant is the best (Original) 2주간의 뉴질랜드 여행에서 먹은 한국음식 중 최고네요 북섬이랑 남섬 다른곳에서도 한식당을 찾았었지만 최고입니다. 김찌, 제육 먹었는데 맛있고 양도 매우 많아 다 먹기가 힘들정도였네요. 맛집 강추 합니다

뇽.

(Translated) I traveled from Auckland to South Island on a trip, and I ate deliciously. The price is similar to that of Queenstown, but the taste is the most delicious Korean restaurant I've ever had in New Zealand. The side dish is not refillable, but overall it is clean, fresh and delicious! (Original) 오클랜드에서 워홀하다가 여행으로 남섬 왔는데 맛있게 잘먹고 갑니다. 가격은 퀸즈타운이랑 비슷하지만 맛은 뉴질랜드에서 먹어본 한식당 중에 제일 맛있게 먹었습니다. 밑반찬은 리필이 안되지만 전체적으로 깔끔하고 신선하고 맛있어요!

안.

(Translated) The best Korean restaurant! ㅎㅎ The boss and the staff are all kind and good! I ate it well! (Original) 한국 식당중 최고! ㅎㅎ 사장님이랑 직원 분들도 다 친절하고 좋아요! 넘 맛있게 잘 먹었습니다!

(Translated) Great value! Ordered a bibimbap with a lot of side dishes and soup. The service is particularly good! It makes people feel respected and treated preferentially. Very comfortable and noble experience. (Original) 超值！点了一份石锅拌饭，附送了好多小菜和汤。服务特别好！让人感觉被尊敬和优待。很舒服，也很尊贵的体验。

(Translated) I thought you were eating in Korea ...! The South Island is a bit burdensome for the price ($ 20 for stone-cooked bibimbap) The store was also clean, lots of money, lots of side dishes and miso soup !! It was a superlative. (Original) 한국에서 먹는줄알았어요 ...! 남섬이라 가격대가 역시 조금은 부담이지만 (돌솥비빔밥 20불) 매장도 깔끔하고 양도 많았고 반찬도 많이 나오고 된장국까지!! 금상첨화였어요.

(Translated) It is a restaurant that children loved. Spacious and clean. The staff are also friendly! (Original) 아이들이 너무 좋아했던 식당입니다. 넓고 깨끗합니다. 직원들도 친절해요!

(Translated) The side dishes were tasty and the meat sauce was also delicious. (Original) 반찬도 정갈하고 제육볶음도 맛있었음.

(Translated) It's almost 1 o'clock and there is no one in it, which is really worrying. However, after entering, the food is not bad, and the food is also very creative. (Original) 快1點了，裡面空無一人，實在令人有點擔心。不過進去後，菜還不錯吃，料理也很有創意。

임.

(Translated) New Zealand is the best in the North Island and South Island. The side dishes were also delicious and the food and the inside of the restaurant were both clean and nice. (Original) 뉴질랜드 북섬 남섬 통틀어서 한식당 중 제일 맛있습니다. 반찬도 맛있고 음식과 식당 내부 모두 청결하고 좋았어요.

(Translated) Staff are really nice and friendly, but food is not so lovely. Miso soup is too salty, the bibimbap comes with raw eggs, it should be a poached egg; the original fried chicken is too dry, mostly chicken breasts, maybe foreigners do n’t The reason for eating chicken legs, but some parts are not fully cooked. Then the kimchi has been left for a long time, sorry, I really do n’t push it. (Original) Staff are really nice and friendly, but food is not so lovely. 大醬湯太鹹，拌飯附的竟然是生蛋，應該要是荷包蛋才對；原味炸雞太乾，大都是雞胸，可能是外國人不吃雞腿的原故吧，但有的部位又是沒完全熟透。然後泡菜放有點久了，抱歉，實在不推。
