Address & map

Kogi Gogi is a Korean BBQ restaurant at 1358 9th Avenue in San Francisco, and Wanderlog, a travel-planning site, describes it as an all-you-can-eat place where guests grill their own food. The photos below are from my April 2022 visit.

The Kogi Gogi signs and menu board in April 2022

Two signs reading KogiGogi, each beside a round Korean BBQ logo: a white box sign hanging from the building and white letters on a black awning, under a blue sky.

In April 2022, a white sign hanging from the building spelled KogiGogi in red letters and a black awning carried the name in white letters, each beside a round Korean BBQ logo.

Kogi Gogi's menu board that month had a Kogi Gogi Special list of numbered meats and seafood, from pork belly (1) to shrimp (26), with a red 38 per person under the heading. Its Kogi Gogi Signature Menu, numbered 27 to 41, included Sweet & Spicy Rice Cake (29), Corn Cheese (37) and Steamed Egg Hot Pot (38).

The egg pot, the red pieces and a stew

Seen from above: a black plate of six glossy red pieces under sesame seeds that look like rice cakes, a black pot of fluffy yellow egg, and a second black pot of dark brown broth with tofu cubes, open clams and white rings that look like squid.

The cover photo shows a black pot of fluffy yellow egg under sliced scallions. It looks like gyeran-jjim (계란찜), a Korean steamed egg dish, and would fit item 38 on the board. In the photo shot from above, a black plate beside the pot holds six glossy red pieces under sesame seeds that look like tteok (떡), Korean rice cakes, which would fit item 29. A second pot holds dark brown broth with tofu cubes, open clams, white rings that look like squid and dark chunks that look like meat, and I can't tell which stew on the board it is.

The Kogi Gogi grill pan

The silver grill pan holds red-glazed pieces of meat at the upper left, two shrimp with heads and tails at the lower right and, in its upper-right corner compartments, browned pieces that look like grilled pork. Wanderlog's summary says some diners liked sides such as spicy rice cake and corn cheese while others found the steamed egg hot pot disappointing.

Before you go

  • Kogi Gogi's hours on Wanderlog's listing, a third-party page checked on Nov 14, 2026, are Monday to Friday 5 to 10 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 12:30 to 10 p.m., and the phone number there is (415) 702-6792.
  • Wanderlog, whose Google reviews run to Oct 10, 2026, was the only page with current details that I could open, and I could not check kogigogibbq.com, the website printed on the 2022 menu board, on Nov 14, 2026, so call before you go.
  • A Google review dated June 9, 2026 on Wanderlog says orders go through a tablet, with a limit of four meats and four sides at a time and a five-minute pause after each order before you can add more.
