Gushi

Used to eat Gushi all the time when I was a student in Westwood. Compared to all of the other restaurants in the area, the prices are lower (maybe still a little high compared to other areas of Great LA) but the food was good too. The quality of the meat is not too high but they make up for it with the Korean sauce.

Now while it may not look like much from the outside, its all about the food here at Gushi. Everything is prepared fresh, and trust me when I say they definitely do no skimp on the portions.

I ordered the Jap Chae and Holy Shinikes Batman was it intense. I think my plate weighed close to 2 pounds and was packed with tons of veggies and huge chunks of seasoned beef. Definitely worth every cent of that 9 dollar price tag. Not to mention that it also came with a free drink.

My dining partner ordered the kimchee fried rice, which was just as good if not better than my dish. It was perfectly spicy, super flavorfull, and came topped with a fried egg. Definitely a nice touch if you ask me and though we waited a little longer for this dish to come out it was definitely worth the wait.

I would definitely give this place two thumbs up and the only reason I'm holding back on a full 5 star experience is that seating can sometimes be sketchy, parking definitely sucks, and service is a tad slow. Regardless of that, the food is absolutely amazing and I would recommend coming here if are craving some Korean food but don't want to deal with the whole KBBQ experience.

Their Bi Bim Bop is excellent -- tasty and hearty. They give real kimchee too. Other dishes are very tasty. If you like lots of good Korean, Gushi is for you. Highly recommend.

When I was in school I would always walk to Westwood to fulfill my bulgolgi craving. Its a little shack and looks modest from the outside but the taste of the food is anything but. My personal favorite is the kimchi fried rice and the bulgolgi combo. Their galbi is good as well. There is only a small patio for seating but its easy to get food to go.

Every time I walk past Gushi and see people eating anything other than the kalbi plate I feel sorry for them. That is the one and only thing I order there and I crave it all the time. Gushi is even worth the drive around the block in search for an open parking space.

I think one thing that I really like about Gushi is their huge portions. You get your money's worth. I ordered the bulgogi plate, and my friend ordered the chicken/beef terriyaki plate, and we had a whole day's worth of leftovers. The quality of food is decent considering it's Korean food sold at a stand. It's a good, and pretty much only, place to go (both in proximity and taste) if you're craving Korean food in Westwood.

pretty good for not having to go all the way to ktown, and a lot cheaper too. great for students on a budget...people seem to like the bulgogi bowl (grilled slightly sweet beef over rice), i recommend the bibimbap (this dish is a delicious mix of everything: rice, sauteed vegetables, grilled meat, and egg, topped with spicy chili paste, you will like it if you like the taste of sesame oil), and the japchae (noodles with beef, like japanese style chow mein i guess) is so good!

it's a little food shack so don't expect 5 star gourmet and ambience at this price.

Not a place for romantic atomosphere, but if you're hungry for good, fresh Korean food, and don't care about the no-decor outdoor seating areas with bums asking you for money, then it's the place to go! It more of a take-out place, overall, good food for for under 7 dollars!

If you're hungry this place is great! Food comes out quick and the people are nice. Seating is small and outdoors...parking nonexistent unless you find meter parking or valet it for $5 bucks (almost the cost of the meal right there) The place however is a little sketchy. They hid their C grade but later quickly put their B in plain sight...not surprising considering sometimes the meat has that rainbow color in it. Don't get me wrong though, I still eat here and it is yummy.

Forget the Ambience. This is a place you want to go if you're hungry, want delicious food and don't want to pay a lot. Little more than five bucks will give you enough to last two meals.

Perfect if you're planning to add a second chin.

Delicious food to go. Or eat quickly and hang out in Westwood.

The portions of the boxed meals are made for people with big appetites and shallow pockets.

Great place for a quick and fast yummy meal.
