Go Goo Ma Korean Restaurant is a real hidden gem of a place. The place has easy parking right in front. The dining room is spotless and offers comfortable seating. Even if you're not familiar with Korean food, they have pictures of all the entrees coinciding with a number and spelled out in English so it's very easy. We ordered the Beef Stew with glass noodles #10 & Sweet & Sour Sizzling Chicken #6. They both came with a couple delicious bon chon (side dishes) as well as a nice dish of rice and my chicken even had a little bowl of soup! The service was very friendly and the food was made to order and it's fresh. They also provide free buckwheat tea which is really nice in cold months and iced tea in summer. Both entrees were very good and served steaming hot. The stew was in a bowl that kept it hot while eating. The sizzling chicken came out on a heated platter with the sauce on the side to drizzle. Portions are plentiful, authentic and delicious. This is a very nice place to relax and enjoy a meal as it's pretty quiet inside.

I've been coming to Go Goo Ma since after college, and it's the only spot in the Chicago suburbs with Korean food that rivals--and even beats--what I had on campus. The food is fantastic, portions are generous, and it's a great family-run place. Highly recommend!

I'm glad to have found this place twice and that they did not close down! I remember when they used to be in Asia Super Market before it became HMart. The food is the same which brought back so much great memories when my friend and I would meet to eat at this place. The people are super kind and they keep the place clean. Love love love and would definitely come back again and again!

I cry whenever I eat here, the food is always amazing and consistent. I have been here at least once a month for 1 year. I love everything about this place. Owner is so nice and kind! The place is spot clean as always and food always has nice presentation. I feel happy peaceful and full everytime I walk out. Please give this place a try, you feel like home eating here.

So good !! And Great customer service I can't wait to come back again and again !! Will tell friends about this place

Yummy food! Place is really quiet and self service. Price is on higher end for this type of vibe. But good food selection if you crave for Korean in the area.

I'm giving 5 stars because this business is a one man band and he makes very good food. This business must be his life. The business is so quirky and abnormal you need to decide for yourself what you care about. See pros and cons. Cons: -It is self-service, including retrieving food, getting free tea, and clean up after -the prices are WAY higher than all the menu photo's I see on yelp. We paid $19.99 for item 1-b and $17.99 for item 4, nothing else, totaling $42.54 with tax, no tip -It's way too expensive for lunch ($20 per person, albeit you got a lot) -one guy does everything so could be a bottleneck if busy (it wasn't) -no fork, just a spoon and chopsticks -no water - BYO water -we went for lunch but if it was dinner I would have wanted beer, wine or other drinks he doesn't offer. If that didn't throw you yet then you are good to go... Pros: -you are supporting an incredibly small business and business owner. -incredible variety of good food being pumped out of one guy in only perhaps 15 minutes -there is nobody to tip -hot and cold tea are free and self-serve -I don't know Korean food but would say this food is very good -you don't get more small business than this - one guy ringing register, cooking, cleaning, probably doing the books at night, cleaning the windows, bath, etc. etc. I hope my wife and I come back - for dinner only. We will try to do BYOB. I don't think the owner would notice or care but perhaps there are ordinances or something so we will be discrete. We would share our "1-b" & "4" meals again or change it up maybe trying one of the stews. And bring water and disposable forks!

It was a very hot day and I really wanted some cold Korean noodle and this place did not disappoint. It's a one man band so I guess the owner takes the order and cook it himself. It's a self serve so you get a number and your table will buzz when the food is ready. The 4 stars is strictly for the food. Don't expect great service or great ambiance. However, the food is the highlight which is why we went there for. The cold noodles was exceptional and the bibimbop was sizzling and hot and delicious. Can't beat these 2 combinations when you're craving some yummy Korean food. It was so good I went back again just for the cold noodles. You do get free tea which is also good. For a one man band, I appreciate the hard work of the owner.

It has been five years since I last reviewed Go Goo Ma. Since I was there last, they have updated their decor and greatly expanded the menu. After scanning through it, I opted for two items: Dukbokgi for my son and I had Bulgogi. We took it out and ate it at home. We live only a short distance away, so it was still very hot when we arrived. As I remember from before, the food was excellent. A funny story - I learned some Korean words over the years, but my vocabulary is very limited. I greeted him, ordered the food, thanked him, and said good-by in Korean, with a pretty good accent. As I turned to leave, the owner was yelling something at me, and assumed he was speaking Korean. But he was speaking in English - I didn't hear him. When I use a language I don't really know, I try to make sure my pronunciation is right and am nervous about it. As I turned to leave and said goodbye, he called me back since I forgot to pay. At least he had a good sense of humor, and we laughed about the experience. I do like Go Goo Ma for good, fast Korean food at a reasonable price.
