gogi house review

Dawn Restaurant Reviewer On Friday night, my husband, three of the four girlies and I had dinner at the Korean BBQ Restaurant Gogi House on Bouquet Canyon and Newhall Ranch Road.  As some of you know, I have been on a crazy diet since February in which I eat for my blood type.  For “O”s, this means no dairy, wheat (or anything with gluten) or corn.  Corn, or corn products like corn syrup is... read more
