Goku Korean BBQ & Hot Pot

Ate lunch here today. Very nice Korea BBQ and Hot Pot restaurant. The dishes are delicious, especially all the beef and pork. This restaurant also has a fruit selecting/sauce making area you can go get yourself. RECOMMENDED for everyone!

One of my favorite kbbq and hot pot places around! Always love the food and drinks here! Great place to go if you're hungry. They have an all you can eat menu as well! Highly recommend!

My favorite Korean BBQ place in San Jose! Wide menu variety & good prices. All you can eat with a 2 hour time limit. Offers both Korean BBQ and Hot Pot. Great customer service & fun atmosphere. Most people always go to Gen but Goku is much better!!!

I would agree in general with other Google reviewers but only (4.5 Stars). Goku is unique in that you can BBQ and/or Hot Pot (soup) at the same time for $5 more.
Goku has beautiful white marble entry/ waiting area which leads into a grey & stainless steel dining room with individual table grills/hot pots with bench or chair seating. Note: center section has no overhead smoke eaters because of the high ceilings so could be smokey.
The BBQ meats & seafood were very fresh & high quality generous 1st serving (see photos)! The various vegetable side dishes were unlimited, fresh & tasty.
My server, Alvin, was a pro & gave me advice on what to do & order first time!
The BBQ grills are changed periodically to prevent burned sauces/marinades from affecting the taste of other meats.
The do-it-yourself Sauce Bar for dipping BBQ is difficult to prepare from 10+ suggested recipes! The limited fresh fruit was chilled to perfection and was very refreshing after non-stop BBQ!
There's a full beer, wine, sake & soku drink menu and sit down bar with 4 flat screen TV's.
Be prepared to wait Friday evening and all day Saturday and Sunday for a table but the experience is worth the wait😁
I don't like to wait when I'm hungry so I will be back for early lunch during the week.
What's missing is an excellent single bite dessert like green tea ice cream or mango sherbet when you get the bill!
Also missing is a Happy Hour promotion for the after work crowd? Thanks for reading.

It was my first time here and my best friend brought me. We did just barbecue and it was a great experience and the servers were kind and fast. Definitely will come again
