The Gogijip

The premium black pork and soy marinated crab is super sumptuous. Will try for the spicy marinated crab for my next visit . This place is super crowded. We queued about 1.5 hours waiting to be seated on Friday evening . The damage per person is roughly $70 dollar for each person for party of 3. After you finished your meal, there’s a freezer located near the entrance for customer to grab Korean ice cream sticks . Love it..

The food was just average, although I think they charge a premium as compared to other Korean restaurants nearby Gejang tasted okay - ordered because I didn’t try before and now I’m having bad stomach cramps. As most health advisory will tell you, make sure your food is fully cooked especially shell creatures, so I probably won’t order that again. Army stew was quite underwhelming for me personally - there’s like one packet of noodle split into two, no rice cake, no cheese (at least when I googled online that seems to be the norm) The meat / bbq menu looks good though (albeit higher price) so I may go back to try them if there’s a chance next time

Watermelon soju was light although we ordered the stronger ones. They served a few types of banchan and they were nice. Did not order alot for bbq so can't comment. I dun really fancy their Cold spicy noodle n jajangmyeon but I do love their spicy squid, steam egg and rice balls. Tried their spicy chicken feet, the spicy level is only for expert level. Items are generally pricy but comes in big portion. It's more worth if comes in big group.

Our first experience with the soy marinated crabs was great - the meat was really good and had the texture of sashimi, the roe was luscious and creamy. The pork belly was decently tender, had a good ratio of meats and fats. We appreciated the patient and understanding service staff, and the complimentary melona. We will be back if we crave the crabs - which might be a tad too rich in flavours and pricey for a repeat visit so soon. However, one star off because the rest of the lunch set was average at best, from the paltry banchan selection, to the bland pancakes, to the rock hard sweet potatoes, to the dry and bland tofu.
