What makes Kogi better? Booze. Get kogi truck when you're really craving it and/or the line at the truck is too long. Great after-work spot too. Blackjack quesadilla with an old fashioned.
It's a little hipster, and can get pretty crowded. The cocktails are $10 - $12, but really good. But you should really be getting the Korean tacos, 3 for $7, with a 500ml Hite beer for the best value
Veronica ChaviraAugust 3, 2018Fun atmosphere with good music and the food is the cherry on top. Kogi short rib tacos or sliders are a popular choice and get the Korean spicy fries as a side. Drinks are strong and tasty.
Queena DescheneSeptember 9, 2013Dark lounge, good indie electronica, and filling food (hen house rice-bibimbap pictured here, also fries came with a dab of sriracha) in generous portions! Old fashioned was a miss for $10
- Joseph CAugust 10, 2014Cool Restrooms! 👍Great food, can't go wrong with Roy Chois food! 🍱 Hang in the outside "patio area". 😎 Good stiff drinks! 🙌
Connie ChiuAugust 18, 2018Cool spot for drinks and grubs! Pretty spacious inside with a small outdoor (smoking) alley. The fries and rice bowls are so good. Great music too.
David SternlightAugust 7, 2014Good bar featuring Roy Choi's killer Kogi BBQ food truck menu that started the gourmet food truck revolution. Choi won a "Best New Chef" award from Food and Wine Magazine.
Meg FarmerAugust 2, 2016Solid spot to meet a friend or a date. Dark and cozy, drinks are strong and you can get small plates to share. Tacos are 👌🏻
I love this place especially when there are seats at the bar or if I'm with a date, then a couch. Good cocktails, great bar staff, delicious cheap food, perfect lighting. Alibi room is nearly perfect.- Allegra TepperJune 16, 2014Very easy going, if you catch my drift. You can get select Kogi eats here, they have a late night happy hour, and they play solid hip hop.
KatrinaNovember 20, 2014Used to come here a lot...before it was hip. Kinda a hidden bar with really cool ppl. Great place to hang out and chill.
Duy NguyenMarch 31, 2013This place makes good legit drinks. Breaking bad is good. They make a good sazerac. And the bathroom is like a prison. Except no bed. And it does lock. And it's cool
Serious EatsSeptember 17, 2013Dark Westside bar that serves Kogi BBQ and Chego favorites from the small kitchen in the back.
JNETMarch 16, 2015Parking may be tricky but it is worth it :). Great food, drink and people watching.
Emerald TriangleMarch 3, 2012Kogi truck chef, Amazing fusion food, Great drinks, Bar atmosphere so hard to find seats but lots of bar space to stand and eat/drink
Tara CunninghamSeptember 18, 2013Another Roy Choi win! All the deliciousness that is the Kogi Truck accompanied by delicious cocktails! Try the Kentucky Mule.
Kate GoldsmithJuly 11, 2013Get the 3 tacos at the bar and the fries. The chicken ones are awesome. Ill be back...- NinaAugust 15, 2013Absolutely chill and delish! Bartenders are friendly and how could you go wrong with Kogi tacos??
Alex PyatetskyJanuary 26, 2015Kogi truck food plus cocktails. Open late too. Solid choice though a bit out of way.
Justin SmithAugust 20, 2014Pac man burger/sliders are on point. Also try sweet chili chicken quesadilla- Queena DescheneDecember 17, 2013Hipster hits playing super loud, open bar seating for late night food mixology drinks. Good for large groups if you want some low lounge seating.
@irabrianmillerJune 22, 2013Get the short rib/chicken tacos and the spicy fries. The Kentucky Mule is delicious too.
Vanity Fair AgendaJanuary 30, 2012A mellow, hip crowd and a fab place to meet up with friends. The Kogi Three Taco Combo is the way to go.
Brand Ventures IP LawAugust 21, 2012Laura, a bartender there, is the definition of both friendly and professional, so be nice and tip well.
Ignore the menu. Just order the @kogibbq blackjack quesadilla a (17 oz!) bottle of echigo organic micro brew. Best $20 meal in LA.
Steven YApril 7, 2013Great vibe and drinks, plus they serve Korean BBQ from Kogi’s Kitchen! What’s not to like?
chego bowls are so good. not enough bartenders for the Friday night crowd though
Gail HJune 26, 2011Kogi that you order at the bar - so much better than the trucks! Plus you can have a cocktail! Try the Old Cuban.
Zach DavidJuly 3, 2014I love this place but once the blonde female bartender took over 10 minutes to make 2 drinks, When I ask her why it took so long and food arrived before drinks, she stared at me with blank face
SuperbJuly 11, 2012You can't leave without ordering a Blackjack Quesadilla and maybe some Korean-Spiced Fries to go with it!
Sal RestucciaJune 4, 2013Rocks! Bartenders know what they're doing! And the food? Try it, you'll like it!
KatMarch 22, 2012good luck finding street parking. they serve some Kogi truck food here. love the fries and quesadillas!
Kim StrebelDecember 7, 2013Spiced daisy is a stiff and spicy cocktail which is why I had three. Delicious.
Kentucky Whine and Goldrush are GREAT drinks! Also be sure to get the tacos....you'll thank yourself
Kayla JohnsonApril 19, 2015Nice beer list. Didn't eat here but the food looked delicious so I'll be back.
The Alibi Room is closed Sunday nights ... so if you check in at 3am Monday morning so that you can be mayor, YOU'RE CHEATING BITCH!
The vegan sesame leaf tacos are tasty. Just be sure to ask for a fork. They're uber-messy!- I love the design, both interior and exterior. Plus the room has nice lighting and an adorable, friendly staff.

Dunno why I've never tried Kogi's Blackjack Quesadilla until tonight, but Jiminy Cricket that dish is sublime.
