GogiGo Korean BBQ

While Frederick County has some Korean restaurants scattered around the city, GogiGo Korean BBQ is one of the first of its kind here to bring Korean barbecue to residents.

GogiGo's Frederick location on West Patrick Street opened in January. There is another GogiGo location in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

Two Frederick locals, Michael Song and Kai Kim, co-own the Frederick location and aim to "bring unique perspectives and authentic Korean dishes and cultures to Frederick County as the first Korean BBQ in the county," Song wrote in an email.

The restaurant offers different meats à la carte, including beef, chicken, pork and seafood. Customers can also order sets of entrees under GogiGo's "All You Can Eat" section of the menu. The food is cooked on grills at the tables.

GogiGo also offers lunch specials of various Korean dishes, as well as a variety of cocktails and other drinks.

Song said he's proud to co-own the first Korean barbecue restaurant in the area. Right now, "growth and improvements" are GogiGo's main priorities, since it recently opened.

"We know Korean flavors and have been to countless Korean barbecue restaurants all over the U.S., as well as Korea, so we are ready to bring our knowledge to Frederick," Song said.
