Awesome place. Good vibes, and delicious food. Service was spectacular. The cocktails are well though out and hand crafted to perfection. I look forward to coming back again. Definitely a great place to impress a date or to celebrate a special occasion. Thank you all for you hospitality.

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)

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.

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!

Located on the 39th floor you get a amazong view off the NYC Skyline. Very friendly staff. We had two starters and Korean BBQ which was prepared perfectly. If you are a fan off wagyu beef you will be happy :-)

My boyfriend and I went here for our anniversary and it did not disappoint! The view was fantastic and the food and drinks were amazing!! We ordered so much food and loved all of it. They also gave us a cute dessert for our anniversary! I highly highly recommend.

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!

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.

High-end Korean BBQ experience. We had the tasting menu and all the cooking was done for us. Meats were well-prepared and the Korean dishes were authentic and fresh. Staff was very nice and attentive. Fantastic views of Midtown! Our favorite dish was the Ribeye.

Wonderful restaurant, came here for a romantic treat, everything was superb. Thanks

Korean BBQ at its height! Spectacular views and really tasty food. This is certainly a restaurant worth coming to. The wait staff were very friendly and attentive enough to make sure we were enjoying our meal but never overbearing. The hostesses were incredibly rude. I'm glad everyone else was nice because they did their best to ruin the experience. Besides that, everything was great.
Unless you know exactly what you want, it's best to order one of the combo plates so you get to try several different pieces of meat instead of just one. Really a fun night out with excellent views!

Located on the 39th floor of a sky scraper, Goannuri blew us away with their Korean tasting menu. It was delectable and the guy who served us for the evening was so fantastic he was chatty and friendly and really excited to tell us all about the food. It was so fun to watch it being cooked right in front of us too.
We had gotten engaged earlier that day and they even surprised us with a gorgeous desert with Congratulations written on it. We feel they went above and beyond to make our experience of Korean food enjoyable, classy and fun.

I was a bit dubious when reading other people’s negative reviews, however having dined here this evening, I can’t understand why. The service was good, the food was outstanding and the portion size was more than enough! Not to forget the desert which was amazing! I’d definitely return. Note, gratuity is added onto the bill, but I think that’s because they cook on the BBQ in front of you. Highly recommend A***

This is the place to go if you want to impress a date! Although a tad hard to find, it feels like a secret spot - like an exclusive club for fine diners. We selected the tasting menu, which started with a fried tofu dish. Then we had wagyu on seaweed with wasabi and sea urchin. For the meats, they served their ribeye and marinated pork. While both were very tender, the pork was another level of sublime. The bibimbap was fine but not out of the world special - you could get a similar one at any of the other restaurants in K-town. I was looking forward to dessert the whole night and that did not disappoint. A lovely spongy matcha cake paired with the most incredible ice cream that tasted just like a sponge cake. Never knew ice cream could taste like cake but it did! What a treat. It was well-worth the experience and I would definitely go again!

Staffs are so friendly and accommodating. Our waiter was super attentive. We spent 3 hours enjoying our dinner at the lounge, were not rushed at all.
Original made a reservation for main dining room was able to change for a window table at the lounge. The lounge tables don’t have the grill so if you decide to order BBQ it would be cooked for you by the restaurant - which is better in my opinion. I don’t like the smell of BBQ on my clothes and I really don’t need to watch BBQ cooked in front of me. We did order BBQ sets for two it was cooked to perfection!
If the view is important to you, know that at the lounge you can see midtown, in the main dining room you can see all the way to downtown financial district.
