In the heart of Melbourne, tucked between the rhythm of trams and the chatter of crowds, stood a small corner space that had once been a Vietnamese restaurant, then a BBQ shop, and for a short while, nothing at all. But one day, the smell of marinated meat and sizzling charcoal began to drift from its door again. The sign above read simply – GOGI CITY.
The name wasn’t just about the food. It was about a dream – the idea of bringing people together through the warmth of the grill, the laughter that rose with the smoke, and the stories shared across plates of bulgogi and kimchi.
Gogi City was never loud or sophisticated. The walls were simple, the tables close enough that strangers could exchange a smile. But every evening, the air filled with something special – the sound of sizzling meat, the clinking of soju glasses, and the murmur of people finding joy in a shared meal.
At Gogi City, our mission is simple:
to share the warmth, flavour, and togetherness of Korean BBQ through food that feels honest, generous, and made with care.
We believe a great meal brings people closer, so every dish we serve is prepared with the same heart we would cook for our own family. We value authenticity over shortcuts, quality over trends, and hospitality that feels personal, not scripted.
Gogi City exists to create a place where people can slow down, gather around the grill, laugh, connect, and enjoy food that is full of flavour and soul. Our goal is to make every customer feel welcomed, respected, and appreciated — like they are part of our community.
We’re here to honour the traditions that inspire our menu while bringing them to life in a fresh and modern way for Melbourne. Most of all, we’re here to serve with integrity, pride, and genuine care.
