About Gogi Jip Korean BBQ Restaurant

When road-trip pies and pub steaks wear thin, Gogi Jip is the Wānaka antidote—a direct line to Seoul tucked just off Dunmore Street. Travelers duck inside to shake off the lake chill over bubbling stews and sizzling pork. Tables crowd with generous spreads of banchan shoveled over steamed rice. Crisp fried chicken lands with dedicated mini-tongs, while floor staff step in to tend the tabletop grill for select cuts.

  • Abundant Banchan: Every spread comes with a generous array of traditional side dishes tailored to cut through rich grilled meats.
  • Tabletop Grill Assistance: Floor staff actively assist at the table to grill selected cuts over the flame.
  • Thoughtful Chicken Service: Piles of crisp fried chicken come with dedicated metal finger-tongs for mess-free eating.
  • Winter Comfort: Deeply seasoned stews and grilled meats offer a sharp cure for South Island chill and roadside travel fatigue.

  • Warming Cold-Weather Comfort

    Piping-hot, distinct stews and hotpots offer welcoming warmth and physical comfort during chilly South Island weather.

    Would recommend this especially on a wintery day/night for those seeking warmth.

Before you head over

Practical ordering and dining guidance to help you plan your meal before visiting their website.

  • Share the Fried Chicken Portions

    Portions are notably generous—even a half order of Korean fried chicken easily feeds three to four diners. The kitchen thoughtfully supplies specialized mini finger-tongs so sharing stays completely mess-free.

  • Plan for Banchan Refill Surcharges

    Initial spreads come with generous complimentary side dishes, but unlike traditional venues offering unlimited free refills, requesting extra banchan or kimchi carries a designated $2 surcharge per plate.

  • Rely on Tabletop Grilling Assistance

    If you are worried about overcooking expensive barbecue cuts at the table, service staff actively step in to help grill selected meats directly over your burner.
