Every Chipotle should be replaced with this place. Super clean establishment! The food is fresh, warm and delicious. The manager Curt, is clearly a manager for a reason. The man takes pride in what he does and it shows. I’m thankful for his hospitality. 10 stars!

I had the Poke Bowl with salmon. SO delicious - I'm thrilled to have this option in Northfield. The sushi rice was delightfully sticky, the salmon was so tender, the veggies were crisp and flavorful. The service was also wonderful, such friendly people :) I will definitely be back many times.

I love this restaurant and I was so sad to see that it was closing. It's a great mix of Chipotle and Panda Express, but 10x better. I loved having a restaurant in the Northfield area to go to that was, obviously, better than the college cafeteria and that catered to more expansive taste buds and wasn't the same cuisine as other restaurants. The staff is incredibly friendly and gives amazing serving sizes. The food is fresh, cooked on-site, and you can tell they know what they're doing. Even after my favourite meat was taken from the menu, I went back because I knew everything they make would taste amazing. I'm really going to miss this place and I wish it wasn't closing!

Great vegan option! The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the food was flavorful, fresh, and delicious! The container of guac we got was huge! With fresh homemade chip. Everything was very reasonably priced. The restaurant was clean with amazing artwork on the walls. And the bathrooms were clean as well. I would 100% recommend Gong Loco, and will be coming again!

I can not properly put into words exactly how much I live for this place. Living in the Twin Cities, it can be difficult to justify the drive. But whenever I do, it makes me realize I would have gone twice as far, for half the quality this amazing restaurant provides! I have basically thrown Chipotle off my restaurant rotation for this. They make wayy better bowls, with even more choices, while still somehow being more affordable. My only complaint is that there are not any more locations!

Traveling for business in the area and we decided to give it a try. We were looking for something quick and healthy, and Gong Loco didn't disappoint! I had the Poke Bowl with salmon and my co-worker had the Cha Cha Chino, plus we shared an order of chips & guac. Everything was so fresh and delicious AND out to our table in minutes! Being first-timers, the staff answered our many questions about the menu patiently and they were very friendly. There were plenty of staff working to keep things moving along, which makes a huge difference these days. Great selection of Jarritos, and Topo Chico (my fave). Highly recommend; we will be back again & again when we are in the area!

Great food! Great service. The only downside is having to decide between Asian and Latin inspired food.... So choose both!
