Gogogiri is the brainchild of Ian Greenberg and Harrison Nguyen, who started the collaboration as college students.

The highlight of the menu is an extensive selection of onigiri, a classic Japanese snack with a simple layer of salted rice with grilled, fried or cold fillings. Tempting options include the President’s Rice Ball, which comes almost over-stuffed with a mixture of katsu chicken and wagyu beef. The traditional SPAM onigiri has a fried mixture of teriyaki pork. There's also a katsu chicken onigiri and shrimp tempura, to name a few more.
While onigiri is the shop’s specialty product, Gogogiri has since broadened its menu to include other Asian specialties like bao buns, dumplings and scallion pancakes. Don't miss out on the sweet purple bao bun: a fluffy, purple-tinted dumpling filled with a sweet taro paste. Other buns, filled generously with chicken or barbecue pork, come wrapped in the same melt-in-the-mouth dough.
Grab a to-go order of GoGogiri’s scallion pancakes, flaky dough with chopped green scallion, or beef dumplings, pan-fried to a satisfying crisp. Pair any item on the menu with GoGogiri’s signature GoGo sauce, which — theoretically — is designed for moderated dipping. Some may argue that it’s good enough to savor on its own.
This week GoGogiri is launching GoGo Korean Corn Dogs, which are popular at their original locations.
GoGogiri, 17421 Preston Road. Tuesday – Sunday, 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. and 5–9 p.m.
