The delivery was so fast. My tea was still warm by the time it got here. The bulgogi is great for being from a delivery place. The banchan are pretty good too. It came with more food than I expected. I had a salad and a soup and they never said it came with that on the menu online. Excellent service. I'm extremely pleased. And the monkey brain appetizer was delicious. Who knew deep frying an avocado stuffed with spicy tuna would be that amazing? Genius.
Review Source:This review encompasses three parts; delivery, eating in, and pick up. Â All are more than satisfactory.
The first time I had Gosu and the only thing I order from Gosu is the Gosu Noodle Soup. Â This is an udon noodle soup with a slight Korean twist. Â I am familiar with the traditional Jam Pong dish and was looking for something similar in the city. Â Gosu was able to modify their Gosu Noodle dish for me several times making it a fine replacement. Â They make it extra spicy for me and it does me right every time. Â
Delivery is prompt for my location in Logan Square.
Eating in is pleasant and reservations are not needed before 5:00 pm. Â The staff informed us that after that time it will get busy. Â They only other item I ordered at Gosu when eating in was the gyoza as an appetizer. Â This dish is very fresh and unlike any other gyoza I've ever had.
Pick up is prompt and they serve you right at the door.
*Gosu has Belly Card for rewards based on check ins.
Love: BYOB, Monkey Brain, Korean beef short ribs and most of their rolls. Don't like their salad dressing, but salad is free so who cares! Most of their business is take out so you can always get a spot here. I was so hesitant to try it, but I did about a year ago finally and have been back at least 6-8 times. It's a nice neighborhood spot, a surprising one. It's lasted longer than anything else in this space. I heard the owners are married and one is Korean and the other Japanese. Not sure if this is true, but that would make sense. Â Oh, I love that they have photos of all of their rolls. Not sure why, but I love this.
Review Source:went last night. Â Had a very positive experience. Â Only 3 other tables there so sat in the back. Â Waiter was very nice, polite and attentive. Â Lots to choose from other than sushi but the rolls that we did have were very fresh and good to look at. Â Did the spicy lobster roll and would recommend that. Â BYOB is always a nice thing. Â Decor is cool and funky but they do need to change the music a bit to something a little more upbeat.
would go back again and recommend to friends in that area
2.5
you know how i feel about pan-asian restaurants. Â i think it's shady. Â it's okay, i'm asian, i can think these things. Â i say, specialize in one ethnicity when it comes to food. Â there are only a few places i can think of (del soul being one) that has mastered the art of multiple-ethnic cuisine. Â EVEN when it comes to 2 asian countries that are similar. Â yeah, we all look alike, i know. Â but we don't taste the same. Â that was gross.
wasabi was closed. Â so steph l and i came here instead. Â the place is sooper cute. Â there were only like 4 other people there, so that wasn't a good sign. Â i also wanted to sit outside, but the server steered me clear bc the tables were locked up. Â that sucked. Â it was actually nice out for it being a fall night. Â but i didnt think it was cool to manipulate my thinking. Â just tell me it's closed off.
they had a special for 2. Â it was 1 app, 2 entrees for $30, i think?? Â we started w the spicy gyoza. Â that was okay - gyoza covered in a sweeter spicy sauce. Â i could have done with out or had it on the side. Â 2 entrees: bi bim bop w brown rice, spider roll. Â i actually liked the BBB w B rice. Â i like it crispy and i'd be back for that. Â we added on a spicy scallop roll. Â the rolls were horrible. Â the crab tasted REALLY weird and the spicy scallop roll had fake imitation crab in it, which i hate. Â
byob - awes. Â the meal ended with a complimentary sweet drink (korean, he said), which was just the right touch to end the meal.
i say, go korean here. Â leave the jap for another place.
I really want to give this place 2 stars, but I am feeling generous.
So I love the space! Â It has an outdoor patio and a nice indoor restaurant area.
We did the app, and two entree special and then added on. Â We got the gyoza, spicy scallop and beef bi bim bop. Â We added on the dragon roll. Â Well, the food was meh at best. Â The spicy scallop and the dragon had NO flavor at all. Â Plus, both rolls were really small for the price. Â The rice was not evenly across the rolls. Â The ingredients just seemed sad and not fresh at all. Â The bim bop was ok at best. Â It tasted overcooked and crunchy. Â It too, was pretty sad on flavor. Â I had to load it up with the sauce they gave us.
Our server was super nice and friendly, but the food was horrid. Â
Street parking is a breeze.
Its BYOB...thats about it. Â
I would never go back because the food was not good.
Overall place was pretty good. Â I would probably give it 3.5 stars if Yelp provided me with that option, I went with 4 over 3 because it was better than just okay.
The service was very good, our waiter, Â was very funny and we joked around with him the entire evening, we never felt rushed as we were there for probably 2.5 hours.
4 of us went on a Friday evening and the place was not very busy. Â
The appitizers we ordered were all very good (Monkey Brains, Short Ribs, Dynaminte, and Asparagus Roll).
Sushi was decent, not the best but not the worst. Most of the signature rolls have Spicy Tuna incorporated into them, which I like, but would have preferred a little more variety. Â
Miso soup was tasty and at the end of the meal the waiter brought over some sort of after dinner Korean drink. Â I enjoyed that and was like nothing I have ever had.
Besides sushi the place also has korean and japenese entrees. Â The korean dishes looked very good, next time I will have to try that and forgoe the sushi.
I love sushi and trying new places, but Gosu didn't wow me. It was pretty empty on a Friday night so getting a table was easy. We started off with the Monkey Brain appetizer. Silly name but it was good, then again how can fried avocado be bad?
I had the spicy lobster roll, which my friends had been raving about. It was HUGE! I usually have two rolls but this was more than enough, especially since we had an appetizer. I also tried the Godzilla roll, but it wasn't very good. I can't put my finger on it, but the taste was just...BLEH. We had the mango cheesecake for dessert and while it was ok, it tasted like it was just defrosted...
Service was good, the atmosphere is nice and it's BYOB, like most sushi places in the city. I liked the lobster roll, but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this place again.
Came in on a Sunday night around 8 p.m. The host sat us right away with no wait. Pretty cool atmosphere.
I came for sushi - and at first glace, I thought the maki rolls were a bit pricey (surprise, surprise, chicago) - so I ordered two rolls and a house salad.
The spicy Lobster roll is incredible - and it's huge. It's SO large, that I could've just gotten that roll, alone - and I might add that I NEVER get only one roll at a sushi/japanese restaurant. It's definitely worth the cost of ~$14. I also got the cup cake roll - it was amazing, as well. The salad, miso, and after-dinner complimentary ginger drink were all nice additions to the meal. Miso was a bit too salty - but still delicious.
Compared to it's next door neighbor, Hatchi's Kitchen, it's much more cost-worthy and I also enjoyed the sushi more at Gosu.
Easy location in Logan Square.
Loved this place. Â Nice atmosphere etc, Â staff was attentive and friendly. Â Cleanliness A+. Â I had Bi Bim Bop - perfect! Â They have oodles of sushi if that's what you're looking for. Â
It's BYOB so be prepared to bring your booze.
The only thing I did not like about it was the smooth jazz playing. Â Snore fest.
Mmmmmmmm Gosu Gosu Gosu! I'll admit, I'm a sucker for sushi, and Gosu is one of the best in Logan Square. The staff is extremely friendly, the food (Japanese and Korean) is amazing and decently priced, and on top of that, it's BYOB. I've been there multiple times and each time the service/food is excellent. One of my favorite rolls is the Hawaii: snapper, mango, apple, and lemon with blueberry sauce cream sauce. They also have great vegetarian options like the Blooming Onion: deep fried onion, osinko, and tofu. Try Gosu and fall in love, I promise you.
Review Source:This place is amazing. I'm thrilled to see a Korean/Japanese Restaurant in the Logan Square Area with reasonable prices and a wide selection of food! They have an amazing deal Sunday through Thursday which includes miso soup, an appetizer, and 2 entrees for only $30! Every time I've gone here I'm always greeted with a friendly wait staff and delicious food. Â I've only tried the vegetarian options (both Korean and Japanese) and am thrilled with the outcome. Â
Being raised in a Korean household, I would say I'm pretty impressed with their dishes.The stone bowl bi-bim-bop with tofu is delicious! I always have left-overs to take home. Â The sushi is quite good as well!
I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys affordable food with a cute atmosphere. Â They also have cute stuffed animals in the booths! Adorable.
New favorite place. Â Love it because they have Korean and Japanese. Â The hubs and I have been here twice, both times for carry-out. Â Both times we had the gyoza as our appetizer. Â Love dumplings, so probably will order this every time. Â Very tasty. Â First time I had the stone bowl bi-bim-bop with tofu and my husband had the yaki udon with tofu and veggies. Â Bi-bim-bop tasted authentic enough to me (not that I'm an expert) and I would order it again. Â Husband loved the yaki udon. Â We also ordered the sweet potato and avocado roll to share. Â Delicious. Â
Second visit (tonight) I ordered a few different rolls and my husband got yaki soba with tofu and veggies. Â Rolls were all tasty and lots of them. Â I ordered three which was WAY too much food for me. Â Yaki soba got good reviews from husband as well. Â
Both times they gave us miso soup which was nice. Â
I can see this being a place we order from once a week. Â Prices are reasonable. Â Restaurant looks clean and nicely decorated from the doorway when we pick up our food and the host is always super friendly to us. Â Next visit we will attempt to dine at the restaurant rather than at home in front of the tv.
This place is great! I went here with a group of friends and had an amazing dinner.
The menu consists of Korean food and sushi. I got the tofu stone bowl bi bim bop and it was really delicious. My husband got two sushi rolls, one was this fruit sushi in a blueberry sauce. It may sound weird, but boy was that sauce delicious. I would buy a jug of it and just put it all over all of my food. The table shared a sweet potato roll that was also delicious. A friend had some spicy pork that I think I need to get next time.
The wait staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, which was nice. After the meal, they brought us this sweet cinammon and ginger drink (looking at the menu, I think it was Sujeonggua) that was like heaven. It was super sweet so the little glass was more than enough. But seriously, again, I want to bottle it and take it with me. It's too bad I don't live anywhere near this place or I'd be taking people here all the time. Cute place, not at all busy on a Friday night, and very nice staff. A real winner in my book.
On a side note, they've got bidets in the restrooms. So rest assured you'll be clean as a whistle once your dinner's done.
I was so pleasantly surprised by this place! Â I went last night for the 2nd time- the first was fine, though it didn't leave a lasting impression. Â I went there to get some Bi-bim-bap with a friend and it was great but it took a second visit to make me a regular. Â Last night I went with my boyfriend at 9 and the place was empty, which worried me a bit but in the end, it prompted me to write this review because this restaurant should be far more popular. Â We got the 2 entrees for $30 deal and that seemed like such a steal! Â The waiter was incredibly friendly and excited for us to try what we ordered- asking how we liked things, telling us that things were home-made and special. Â We split a dragon appetizer- which was a fried sushi roll- it was great- Americanized sushi- super indulgent. Â My BF got bi-bim-bop with tofu and I got the nigiri and rice bowl- I can't remember what it was called- it was basically dissembled sushi. Â It was all incredibly good and I feel like we really got a bargain paying only $30 for such high-quality ingredients. Â
Other than the food the restaurant is immaculately clean, very well-decorated and has friendly staff. Â I will absolutely be back again and again. Â I'm pumped to have this in my neighborhood. Â I am usually such a critic when it comes to restaurants but all night after dinner I kept saying "man..that was SUCH a great spot!"
Thanks Gosu! Â See ya later!
My new favorite restaurant. In the last week I've had delivery twice and eaten in the restaurant once - it's addictive! We've tried vegetarian, beef, chicken, and seafood dishes, both Japanese and Korean, and everything's been great so far. My wife recommends the Monkey Brain appetizer*, and I'm a big fan of the Bloomin' Onion Makimono - props to Gosu for having more interesting vegetarian rolls than most places.
* does not contain actual Monkey Brain
Love this discovery! Â In a short review I'll
Say just about everything is great here and it's BYOB. Â In particular we've liked all the sushi, love the Bulgogi Korean beef (a must), and the ambiance is wonderful. Â Staff is attentive. Â Its really a favorite spot of mine now because its a consistent guaranteed enjoyable dinner out!
Went here with my kid and wife and well, if you want a good fix of sushi/japanese/korean type of food, its not a bad place. Â The location is very nice, since it is close to the expressway and street parking is easy. Â Situated right next to a nicer/bigger asian restaurant, in its own little building is Gosu.
The decor of the restaurant is pretty nice, and they have good seating. Â Noise level was not bad since there werent too many people there 6 pm...
Ended up ordering the Mexico City roll and the Godzilla roll and they were really huge, about 9 pieces each...was enough for 2 adults. Â Also ordered a noodle dish (Korean) and it was pan friend vegetarian....simple stuff, it was alright. Â And for dessert, we had complimentary ginger tea that was nice. Â I was too full to order anything after that.
Worth checking out...
Granted I'm not a specialist in this type of food but I know what I like and I like Gosu.
For a long time, my friend was talking about how the owners of Hama Matsu in Andersonville opened a new spot in my old neighborhood and that we needed to go check it out. My friends are very loyal to the owner since they live out on the west side and to make the trip out for this food is pretty serious.
Anyway, I've been craving makimono or sushi or something along those lines for months. Last week my wife and I finally quenched my cravings and had a great dinner.
We decided to go the 2 for $30 route instead of using the Groupon Now deal. We ordered jop-chae as an appetizer. My wife know's Korean food pretty well and she was very pleased with the jop-chae and so was I. We also ordered the Godzilla and the the Stone Bowl Beef Bi-Bim-Bop. I loved the Godzilla and the sauce that was on it. I even went back and ran my chop sticks through it to pick up more of the sauce and licked it of the sticks.
The owners son was taking care of us and gave us some education on some interesting things about the food. He talked to us about how pieces of avocado substituted the fat that is typically used in the rolls. He even brought us a sample of Big Eyed Tuna that was amazing. I was a deep red color and buttery. He talked to us about how the fat content in it makes it so good but how in Asian countries it doesn't sit well in there stomachs. He even brought out another sample of a lesser quality tuna and by just looking at it you can tell the difference. Thanks for the lesson man!
Oh man we feasted that night. Â I know that whenever I get the craving again that Gosu will be first on my list.
My fiance and I came here on a whim. We were craving pho but didn't want to trek all the way to uptown.
Gosu is just down the street from us and decided to give it a go. We arrived around mid afternoon on a Sunday. We were the only table in the restaurant. It was kind of a weird time since it was past brunch and a bit after lunch time.
BTW, The decor in the place is SO cute. It is eclectic with quriky details. (I love it.)
We ordered the Sun-Thurs special that included one appetizer, main dish, and a sushi roll for $30. We ordered a noodle appetizer dish, Bi Bim Bop and a roll I can't remember.
All of them were fantastic. The flavors of the roll where a bit to complicated to make the roll memorable but the appetizer and Bi Bim Bop were a home run! Also the special included miso soup before the meal and a sweet cinnamon tea at the end. It was perfect.
I can't believe we waited so long to try this place. I will back for sure!
5 stars for the Salmon Teriyaki Dinner. Yum yum yummm!! Order this!!!
The sushi is excellent and fairly priced. The rolls were made with expert skill, they didn't fall apart and the ingredients tasted fresh. Each roll was a burst of flavor.
BYOB.
Friendly staff.
I've dined in and gotten take out. Â The chef recommended not taking it to go, but it was just as good out of the restaurant as it was in.
If I could afford to eat here every day, I probably would.
This little strip of California Avenue seems to get better and better. Â With the addition of Gosu, Logan Square has at least three excellent sushi joints, and Gosu takes it a step further with it's blend of Japanese and Korean specialties.
We visited on a chilly dark Thursday night in November, and the place was pretty dead. Â But the food was impeccably fresh and delicious--and the prices are great. Â Only one other table was occupied, but there was a steady stream of takeout orders. Â Be aware they are BYOB (you can pick up something across the street at Provenance, though I don't know if you'll find sake there).
I cannot comment on most of the menu, as we composed our meal entirely of appetizers, and only scratched the surface of the vast array of Gosu's offerings. Â It will take many visits to come close. Â We enjoyed everything we ordered, but one dish really stood out as a tour de force: the Monkey Brain.
Yes, the name is disgusting, conjuring up images of "Faces of Death,"--but don't worry! Â No brains were sacrificed for this dish, except perhaps your own, after the mind-blowing experience of eating this luscious, novel composition.
Gosu's Monkey Brain comprises a  whole avocado stuffed with crab and spicy tuna, coated in panko, and deep fried.  It arrives quartered on the plate to reveal the beautiful composition of it's interior, and it's napped with a delicious sauce, and garnished with a carrot rice noodle slaw. Â
Cooked avocado is something of a novelty to me, but this was cooked only in the sense that fried ice cream is cooked: just long enough to crisp up the light panko coating and warm the interior. Â
Crispy on the outside, utterly smooth, creamy, and richly satisfying on the inside, when this masterpiece hits your tongue, the lush, slightly molten warmed avocado collapses into something like a sauce that shuttles the wonderful crab and tuna flavors straight to your own brain. Â It was so wonderful we ordered a second one. Â And I'm halfway thinking of stopping in for another tonight.
I simply can't resist mentioning another novelty at this restaurant: the high-tech electronic bidet toilet in the men's room. (Not sure if the ladies are treated to this or not). Â If nature calls while you're there, you can emerge fresher and cleaner than you ever imagined....
I was excited to come here because I was going through a severe, stomach-numbing Jop-chae craving and didn't want to travel far. Â Then I rememberd this Japanese place, with served some Korean dishes as well. Â Perfect! Â It's a nice, little place with an excellent music selection (it was Logan Square, after all).
After all the self-inflicted hype, I found the Jop-chae to be kinda salty. Â Actually pretty salty. Â Enough to overwhelm the rest of the ingredients. Â I'm sure it was a one-time thing, but I didn't enjoy it like I thought I would.
I also had the Stone Bowl Bi-Bim-Bop with beef. Â It was pretty bland, and mostly vegetables. Â I was hoping for a little more beef than I was given. Â Disappointing.
The sushi on the table tasted pretty good and was presented well, so I'm gonna write this off as an emo day for the restaurant. Â The menu is pretty big, so there are other items I'd still like to sample here. Â The service was friendly and the place is BYOB. Â I'm more than willing to give this place another shot.
I was able to have a birthday dinner at Gosu with a group of 15 here.
It's a very cute place in Logan Square.
BYOB! with a group of 15.. it was great!
We were all able to find free street parking in the vicinity.
The food was pretty tasty... very typical Japanese sushi stuff, but the plus was that they also served some Korean dishes as well.
They also made me a maki for my birthday in a shape of a heart with the candle on top of the wasabi in the middle!
the service was great!
Will be back again!!!
This place is amazing. Sushi, gyoza were good but Monkey Brains were amazing (deep fried avocado filled with tuna).
The entree came with salad, miso soup and an after-meal drink, which were unexpected when we ordered.
The most surprising thing was the price. We were expecting a much higher tab for such good service and all the extras.
It also helps that it is a BYOB. Great atmosphere and possibly best Sushi in Logan Square - only real competition is right next door at Hachi's Kitchen but my vote is for Gosu.
Food shaped like animals is always a plus. The dragon was particularly scrumptious and I'm not a big seafood/sushi/sashimi fan. The decor is little weird, so are the tvs displaying the food you are about to eat.
But what matters is the service and the taste. Both were great and I will definitely be back. It's still a newer restaurant so I look forward to dining when more people are in the restaurant.
Gosu. Gosu. GOSU. GO TO GOSU.
I'd love to keep Gosu my little secret, but I just can't. I'd been feeling a bit ambivalent about sushi in Chicago lately and this place turned my attitude around!
Appetizer: We started with the Asparagus Beef. Savory beef and yummy asparagus rolled and fried. So great.
Dinner: We had the Mexico City and the Cupcake makimono. I never would have ordered the Cupcake, but I'm glad I did. A little crunchy, a little sweet, a lot delicious. I loved the Mexico City because the jalapeño was chopped finely and incorporated in the mix, not just a big chunk shoved in there. We also had a selection of nigiri. My litmus is always the Tamago. If the sushi chef can make a delicious Japanese omelette, then I'm sold. The Tamago at Gosu is delish! Perfect density, texture and sweetness. Do yourself a favor and order the Unagi (BBQ eel). We were served a sizable (for nigiri) portion of perfectly flavored and cooked eel. We actually had to order a second round - they were that good.
Dessert: Mochi. One of each; Green Tea, Mango and Red Bean. It's the same stuff you buy at Trader Joe's, but somehow they tasted exceptionally delicious. Maybe that was just the sushi euphoria setting in.
Even though I was stuffed, the huge flat screened televisions cycling photos of all the rolls made me want to order more. I will definitely be back to sample more of their tasty treats!
BYOB!
I'd been looking forward to trying this place since it opened and now that I have, I'm happy to have this option so close to my home. Â What I like about Gosu is their original sushi ideas minus the standards like Godzilla Roll, Spider Roll, etc.
We ended up getting the Cupcake, Spicy Lobster, Kamakazi and Blooming Onion rolls. Â I especially loved the Blooming Onion which is a vegi roll with an onion ring on top (made with tempura batter). Â Yum! Â The others were equally yummy. Â And to finish off the meal, it was the incredible cinnamon iced tea everyone else mentions. Â They need to get a liquor license & sell this tea mixed with sweet tea vodka for an insanely great cocktail. Â
Speaking of liquor licenses, GOSU is BYOB and there's a fabulous wine shop across the street in case you need to pick something up. Â
All in all, this was a great experience and I'll be happy to return in the future.
Elegant & delicious.
My sis & I had to hit this 1 up based on all your fantastic reviews (tnks Brook E. & julie ann p.) Everything said so far is true.
Recommendations: Potato & Vegi Croquette Appetizer (very filling)
                  Dumpling Platter for those dumpling lovers out there.
Sister's Recommendations:
                  Sushi was delicious and fairly priced.  One roll was filling with the appetizer, soup, and salad. Â
Nice surprises: Included soup & side salad with entrees, how beautiful the food itself was & the included shot of cinnamon ice tea to wash it all down. Â
And on a Sunday night we ended up having the whole restaurant to ourselves.
Gosu is now the third restaurant I've been to in this store front. Â First there was Rustik (American), then Rustico (Mexican), and now Gosu (Korean). Â Hopefully, third time's the charm!
This was a casual Saturday lunch, so we started with an order of Monkey Brains--one of my favorite "sushis", that some other restaurants in the area (ahem) do not serve. Â Then we both go Bi Bim Bop bowls. Â They were so fun and delicious! Â I loved how the noodles sizzled, and just how much I got to play with my food and mix it up.
Service was attentive, but not overbearing. Â The kimchi was tasty and palate-cleansing.
Hachi's vs. Gosu - Because really, two sushi places next to each other how do you not compare? Â If I were in the mood for deep-fried, colorful, different makis, I think I'd go to Gosu. Â If wanted just clean quality fish, and a few classic makis, I'd go to Hachi's.
I'd be back!
And welcome... competition.
It's pretty gutsy to open a sushi (and Korean) restaurant almost next door to Hachi's Kitchen, but Gosu can probably compete. I have to admit that I did not have sushi when I came; I stuck with the Korean menu, but the food was tasty. I had ordered the seafood bi bim bop and kim chi, and the boy had some type of korean pork. Yum.
The service was super attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is stylish and inviting. It's also BYOB for the time being. The dinner entrees end up being a great deal; all the entrees come with miso soup and salad. So it's a bit cheaper than Hachi's too. I'll update my review after I try the sushi, but so far, so good.
Even though I shop at the Korean market and try to make some recipes I find online, I can't say I've ever had Korean food at a restaurant before going to Gosu. So I can't comment on the authenticity of the food, though I liked it.
They have tofu bi-bim-bop on the menu; I requested no egg to make it vegan. It had rice, tofu, spinach, carrots, onion and seaweed, as well as a somewhat sweet and spicy sauce on the side. It was good; it seemed wholesome and healthy. The price for the dish ($12) seemed a little steep for what it was; I'm not sure how it compares to the cost at other places.
More than one server checked on us, which seemed a little odd, but I appreciated the attention! One lady brought us the free kimchi and fish cake and refilled the dishes when she saw we had eaten it. (Vegans note that only the cucumber kimchi is seafood-free.) She also brought the complimentary cinnamon/ginger dessert drink, which I really liked. It was a good way to end the meal.
The neighbourhood space has been the home of a handful of restaurants in the past few years. Let's hope Gosu can stay longer!
I had a great time at Gosu! Â The ambiance is just like RUSTIK ,who was in that space before. Â I love the banquettes and the skylight area, just stunning. Â I am a vegetarian and had tons of options.....
I ordered a sweet potato roll and has the most delicious green tea that was iced. Â
My friend ordered a mixed meat dish and loved it! Â Our server was SIMON and he was very nice and patient with us, as I only know a few of the words on the menu. Â I will be back later this week for takeout, as it is only a few blocks from home!
I'm SO excited to have some good Korean options within walking distance.
The bi bim bop was delicious! Â So were all the nigiri pieces we ordered (Saba, Hamachi and Escolar) Â The Kamikaze roll was tasty, but not rolled tight enough and I wouldn't necessarily order it again.
I was a little disappointed with the soggy kim chi, but the tasty bi bim bop in an actual hot stone bowl more than made up for it.
The service was pretty disorganized but incredibly apologetic when they messed up. Â I give them a few more months to work out the kinks. Â Only half a mile away? Â I'm sold!
Gosu is a chic-ly decorated Korean-Japanese restaurant in the Logan Square neighborhood. Â It has the feel of a fancy, downtown restaurant without the fuss of downtown. Â
The rolls are very creative and the food is very, very tasty. I'd say the focus here is more on the Korean food though both traditional and creative Japanese sushi rolls are offered. Â For starters I had a dragon roll. Â It was exactly what I expected and in the shape of a dragon as well. (cute!) Â My boyfriend had some tofu that seemed to be lightly breaded in panko; this dish tasted great as well. Â It was a nice blend of texture (crunch) and flavor (yum!). Â I had Korean short ribs as my entree. Â I was sooo craving this today so I'm glad that Gosu chef's did not disappoint. Â The short ribs were flavorful with the right amount of salt to make the dish tasty without oversalting.
The service was great, but then again we were one of two couples in the restaurant. Â Our server was very, very attentive and friendly. Â She offered us kimchee. Â She also offered us a traditional Korean dessert drink comprised of cinnamon and ginger. Â
Everything was clean and service was great. Â It is a treat to have such a nice restaurant to enjoy sushi and korean food leisurely without having to travel out of the neighborhood.
