Kogi Korean Grill - San Antonio

Hey. Korean people, or anyone who knows Korean food. Does this look like Kimchee stew? No. it isn't. It is kimchee soup, not stew. Kimchee stew is thicker and have heavier taste, not this. It wasn't horrible if I ate it thinking I ordered kimchee soup. Fried squid wasn't typical Korean fried squid. Spicy pork was exactly like what I make at home with store bought sauce and pork tenderloin. It isn't necessarily bad but I expect more from restaurant.

Very authentic Korean food, modern, each dish had a distinctive flavor, and the single server, Cory, was very professional, very efficient and did not make us wait at all even though the restaurant was 3/4 full. Very happy we found this restaurant on this side of town, this holds a candle to the best ones in little Korea on the East side. Don't miss the Korean fried chicken, and if you are a party of 3 or more, ask for the full ban-chan (all the sides in small plates). We had Korean udon, street tacos, soon doo bu (spicy stew), and ja yang myeong (spicy noodles), all distinctive and great flavors, accessible to San Antonian palates yet very Korean.

I feel a deep sense of disappointment when encountering people who have never tried authentic Korean food. I understand the confusion; it can be similar to a friend from Korea cooking for them at home. While it's enjoyable, it doesn't compare to the quality of food from a restaurant. Their friend may be a bookkeeper, not a chef. Korean cuisine is a fine dining experience, not fast food like Panda Express—where, to be honest, I’ve had better meals. I give this place 3 stars because the service was excellent, but the food was just okay. Friday, August 12, 2022.

This place is delicious! The service was top notch! The prices were very reasonable. And the dining room is a good atmosphere. I had the beef bulkogi and my husband had the beef bi bimbop. We were very impressed and can't wait to come back and try something new!

The service was quick; we were in and out in under an hour, which is faster than most places. The galbi came with three side dishes, and I really enjoyed both the galbi and the sides. The kimbap was large and satisfying, and surprisingly, it wasn't crowded on a Friday night.
