Gaonnuri

Great food and incredible views of the NYC skyline. An elevated Korean bbq experience where the wait staff cook your food for you, and very well ventilated - no cooking smells at all! Perfect for a romantic dinner. Our waitress took the time to explain each of the side dishes to us, and cooked our meat perfectly. It’s not cheap, but it’s New York (and it’s worth it)

Gaonnuri is one of my favorite NYC restaurants! Order one of the sets on the menu - it is worth it every time. The drinks are delightful and perfectly complement the delicious Korean cuisine. And let's talk about the views – dining while gazing at the stunning NYC skyline is an unforgettable experience. Gaonnuri is truly a gem that offers a complete package of great food, refreshing drinks, and breathtaking views. Can't wait to visit again!

Had two of the premium sets to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday. The meat was delicious, and the table side cooking was really nicely done, and the quantity of food was the right amount for two people. My only feedback would be maybe the banchan dishes could have a stronger flavor, such as the kimchi and cucumber, but I understand the tastes may be adjusted for the clientele which is not super Korean. The entire experience was immaculate, the building is beautiful and the views and exceptional during golden hour and nightfall. The servers were all extremely attentive and nice. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Food: When you come to Gaonnuri, you don’t come for amazing KBBQ. For this price, you go to COTE. Gaonnuri has GREAT KBBQ. For $68, you get the Gaon set which is a ribeye steak, marinated short ribs, and spicy Ibérico pork. The ribeye was probably one of the best quality cuts of meat I’ve had from a restaurant. The short rib was good. The pork was just okay - not super authentic, but very flavorful. Set comes with Korean egg soufflé and soybean paste stew. Great food with a great view, but be prepared for the sky tax! Service: Ray? was our waiter. Super chill guy, grilled up our meats well. Hostess at the front isn’t the most attentive (saw her playing Subway surfers on her phone, haha) but I get it considering that Gaonnuri isn’t getting tons of foot traffic. Great, seamless experience. Atmosphere: Where else are you getting a view almost 40 floors up with KBBQ? You can easily see all of Manhattan and more. Even though we went on a cloudy day, the view was still amazing. If you do want a window seat, you have to either have a large party or get their very expensive tasting menu. Overall, great, one-of-a-kind one-time KBBQ experience in ktown! Toodaloo!

Very unique place to have Korean bbq. The views are amazing. The service was friendly and very attentive. I like they cook the food in front of you and you don’t have to worry about it. The food itself was delicious! Definitely start with the seafood pancakes and japchae. The Australian wagyu just melts! Then end with the Des constructed snicker bar. You will not regret it. Highly recommend this place!

Dinner at Gaonnuri was absolutely amazing! The food was fantastic and the service was excellent. My wife and I had ordered a wide variety of meats, including the A5 Japanese wagyu, as well tiger shrimp. After our first experience here we will definitely be adding this to the itinerary every time we are in NYC.

Made reservations for Friday evening, early dinner with a party of four. Got seated right away and the service was great. I'm still getting used to Korean BBQ where they cook the food vs the customers...but a nice thing to not have to worry about while still enjoying seeing the food cooked in front of you. Don't really recall all that we ordered just that the mushrooms on the Vegetable BBQ platter where amazing! We all left full and overall had great conversation of a table side cooked meal. Location was great with nice lighting and modern decor.
