View Full Version : Bao Soup Dumplings (formerly Gogi Go)
Roger S 05-08-2023, 09:07 AM I was also served a Vindaloo at the Indian restaurant that used to be in the south building of the shopping center at 122nd & Penn, but I can't remember the name now, that made me regret that life decision..... They didn't warn me though and I only tasted about the first 2 bites... All I tasted after that was pain.
Roger S 05-08-2023, 09:11 AM My brother lives in LA and had almost the exact same experience. There is nothing too spicy for him. He went to a Thai restaurant and demanded their spiciest level, explaining he didn’t want “American spicy.” They tried to talk him down and even the chef came out to make sure he was sane. I don’t know if he finished it, but he admitted it was the first time ever that he truly felt the like it was too much, face turned red and body sweating. The chef ended up giving him a few of their spices to take home.
There was a place on 23rd for awhile, believe it was called Banana Moon, that served a spicy beef noodle stew.... Went in one day to get a bowl and saw another gentleman order it. He was a sweaty, snotty, mess after just a few bites. I mean he had snot bubbles his nose was running so bad and his face was bright red. The waiter went to his table to check on him. He wasn't able to finish it.
Urbanized 05-08-2023, 12:17 PM I just want to make clear that I love Tobasco (and other hot stuff). I use it liberally, without giving it a second thought. SWIMMING in Tobasco is quite a different proposition.
For those who really like spicy food, I recommend the Peppers Galore wings at Chick n Beer.
It's full of spicy goodness and plenty hot but not so much your meal becomes some sort of laddish eating dare. Also, the top two levels at Port of Peri Peri are not dumbed down.

I'll agree with the Peri Peri observation. I got the next-to-hottest there (only because I didn't know there was a hotter option, didn't see the wall chart until after we ordered, I don't think it was listed in the online menu :)) and it was definitely not Americanized. For reference, I almost always get super-hot Thai, habanero salsa (not ghost or bhut joloka, those usually don't have too much taste to them, the hotness just overwhelms everything else), etc.
Thomas Vu 05-14-2023, 12:09 PM People demanding refunds for not being able to handle the spice is a real thing. I don't blame restaurants for trying to warn people.
Xian Mi came and went pretty quickly in this space after Gogi Go.
Now, it's Bao Soup Dumplings. All I can find is it's open 11AM to 8PM every day.

HOT ROD 08-16-2024, 05:12 PM looks wonderful!
Timshel 09-10-2024, 07:25 PM Walked by half an hour ago or so and it was paaaacked. Almost every table full and a line to the door. Looks like it’s getting some good buzz and hopefully this concept will stick!

A friend of mine who lives in the Edge told me it has been that way since opening. Really good sign for that spot! I guess I need to try it!
burksooner 09-11-2024, 08:38 AM I went on the grand opening day and was blown away. Fantastic flavor and decent prices. Tried to go again on Saturday evening and it was a 1.5hr wait for in-person and to-go.

citywokchinesefood 09-11-2024, 09:24 AM That space really needed to be refreshed. I loved the Gogi Go concept, but it would have really benefitted from having a bar. It looks good, I can't wait to give it a try this weekend.
OkieBerto 09-12-2024, 09:21 AM Looks like they are struggling with being so busy. A lot of recent bad reviews of service and lack of parking. One review even says they need to be a sit down and order from a waiter type place. One thing is clear, all those bad reviews said the food was pretty good. I hope they get it figured out.

Yeah, these complaints all sound lame on their face. First, I really think it's in poor taste for people go to a new restaurant and expect everything to be perfect—much less one that is slammed. You have to give restaurants a couple weeks to work things out. Second, complaining about parking in an urban neighborhood is suburban-blob brain. Sorry, you had to walk a block to the restaurant. It's great that there's a restaurant killing it in this spot.

I totally agree. They will get enough foot traffic from locals after the storm calms down. I am sure the Suburban Instagram Foodies were out on the prowl for new content!
TStheThird 09-19-2024, 04:08 PM We tried going, but it was1.5 hours for food. Gonna give them some time to figure it out. Hard to wait that long at a counter service restaurant. I am sure they will get dialed in. Excited to give it a try.
