Came on a Saturday at 3pm and it was pretty quiet. We came for AYCE and the meat quality was great. So many banchans!

Absolutely great Korean BBQ experience! The meats were very good quality with nice assortment of sides and sauces. Kids loved it too and they were half price for all you can eat up to 10 years of age. We celebrated a birthday and it was the best choice to assure a great experience for the whole family. Very generous service. We appreciated our server Daniel who took good care of us and definitely will have us coming back again. Very clean grills and generous portions with each order. Appreciated our evening at Gogiya. Thank you! Thank you!

First, there was no wait on a Saturday night which is mind boggling to me in light of the 2 hour wait at its local competitors. My wife and I were seated immediately. The restaurant is cavernous, and was about 40% full, and we ordered the standard all you can eat option. Pricing seemed in line with competitors - basically what I expected. The service was good, we were attended to well and were never led waiting for anything. The banChan was above average to me (although I have no knowledge or meaningful Korean food experience. I ordered brisket, spare ribs and bulgogi and was stunned at the portion size. Truly excessive plate of brisket, and plenty of the other two meats. The bulgogi was salty and, for lack of a better word, permeated with the flavor of the marinade - which was fair to middling. The quality of the meat was in line with other local competitors and everything was tasty. The steamed egg was my add-on of choice and was below average (ideal was a Northern Virginia restaurant). So huge portions, good food, available seating, decent ambiance, and good banChan. I'd say this place is at the top of the heap of AYCE casual kbbq places in the greater Irvine area. Will be back. My only gripes: the facility was a little bit drab, and the steamed egg was mediocre.

Low key spot for korean bbq.Excellent quality meat and great service. Appetizers are also amazing.

SO expensive?!! Definitely had sticker shock and the way the menu reads you're forced into packages you don't necessarily want? Server was attentive but lacked the ability to speak about the menu. We chose to cook at the table. The quality of the meat was questionable at best. Assuredly didn't want to take any home. Two stars for edible food. We will not be returning.

It was great to be able to have Korean BBQ indoors again, especially with our friends visiting from out of town. We got the kids some tofu soup and cold noodles and the 4 adults had the $89 bbq. It was quite plentiful and in fact, we were full! The portions really was perfect and the banchan was delicious! Cucumber kimchi was yum. We will definitely be back again and I believe, our go to K-BBQ place.

For $ 30 you get unlimited meat and snacks. The place is clean, the staff are kind and attentive. In the end, a nice bonus is pineapple.

We ordered take out and were very satisfied! From the banchan to the seafood pajun and the beef galbi to the spicy stew, everything was so flavorful. I will definitely be coming back!
This will get the job done, and at higher quality and a lower price than I Can't BBQ. Formerly known as Korea House, Gogiya 3 has just rebranded. The servers are the same and interior is unchanged. Prices have gone up but that's expected so I'm not taking anything away for that. For years, Korea House was a middle of the road, good enough sort of deal for when Kang Ho Dong served up a 2hr wait and I Can't BBQ offered some potent hearing loss. But Korea House served a menu as bland as its name. Now, the quality of the meats has improved and I'm glad for that because I'm not paying for food poisoning in a pretty room; I'm paying for food. I'm glad the surroundings haven't changed. I'm glad they haven't opted for frills over food. I'm glad they haven't wasted resources on buzz and hype. Are they as good as Kang Ho Dong? No, obviously. Are they better than I Can't BBQ? Yes, in every way. This has been a long standing family owned business that has endured through the years. I hope that they will experience a surge as the economy opens up. I will be back soon. Stay safe out there.

Delicious and good quality meat at a great price! The service was excellent and we would definitely come back again. Our 2 year old loved the side dishes.

Had the all you can eat. Great food at a great price. The only things I didn't like were the teriyaki chicken and the pork belly (a bit too fatty).

If you are looking for Kbeebz in Irvine Gogiya 3 BBQ may work in a pinch. It seems that Korea House rebranded over the course of the pandemic and is now Gogiya 3 BBQ although nothing - including the ownership - seems to have changed. Perhaps they felt the could name the restaurant something less generic that "Korea House" in Irvine's more diverse situation today? I am not sure but Gogiya 3 BBQ and Korea House are pretty much one and the same. Gogiya 3 BBQ is a small, family owned local business with incredible portions and real deal traditional Korean recipes. They also have killer Banchan - notably the Kimchi this is perhaps the best you will find in OC. Sadly, it also has spotty service, wildly expensive price points, and the Bulgogi is made in the kitchen taking away from the usual Korean Barbecue experience. A meal for two was well over $50.00 after tipping making it likely the highest Kbeebz spend you will find in Irvine and it will be on you to ask for things you have come to expect like Salted Sesame Oil, Chili Paste, and even refills of Banchan. They do offer specials and in the future I would stick with the Bento Box lunches since you are not grilling the meats anyway. That said, if you are looking for the quintessential Kbeebz meal you will likely be better served by visiting Shik Do Rak, All That Barbecue, or my favorite -- Baekjeong. Gogiya 3 is a 2.5-star experience rounded up for being locally owned.
