Gaonnuri: Discover Upscale Korean Barbecue with Stunning City Views

A little pricey but well worth a date or special occasion, esp if you are not a fan of Korean BBQ where you smell Iike it afterwards. The views as sunset comes on and the city lights up are an incredible bonus.

An amazing restaurant with breathtaking views of the city. Would be the perfect restaurant for a special occasion. The braised pork belly was probably one of the best I've had in ktown. Super flavorful and pairs perfectly with the kimchi radish. Our server was amazing and cooked our meat to perfection. Would definitely recommend!

Had visited Gaonnuri for a bachelorette dinner for one of my friends. We had reserved a table and opted for the pre-set menu. So we arrived and checked in and was directed to the elevator that went straight up to the restaurant. The restaurant had a great view of the city unfortunately it was cloudy and rainy couldn't see much out the windows. We had a menu at each place setting of the food that was going to be served family style. The waiters were great throughout the night! We started with appetizers-- there was a calamari salad, mushroom medley, veggie dumplings, and marinated fried chicken. Everything was delicious with enough portions to share with our group. Then came some Korean bbq of chicken and galbi and then the next course was a bibimbop dish and some cod fish. Omg I cannot say enough how good everything was! We ended with the chef's choice of dessert. Overall it was such a wonderful dinner with such nice ambiance!

Came here for dinner on a Saturday and had a great time. We had a reservation so we were seated right away. The restaurant interior was on the fancier side and had a beautiful view of Manhattan. We ordered the Gaon Set for each of the 4 of us and we thought it was enough food for us all to be full. The meats were nicely cooked by the staff and I really liked the side dishes. The kimchi was super fresh and matched well with the meats. Would definitely recommend, especially for any people visiting NYC and want to see a nice skyline view.

Was worried this would be the type of place where you just pay for the view/ambiance but the food was actually great. Made a reservation for dinner and came with a friend. Note that if you want a window seat, you have to reserve omakase, but we still had a great time and they seated us fairly close to the window seats. I tried: + Lychee martini - solid + Japchae with beef - perfect + Premium set - really loved the prime ribeye in particular Great assortment of banchan, too. Kimchi stew was also awesome! Ignore Google Maps - Entrance is on 32nd st next to Tiger Sugar Bubble Tea.

The food was amazing! I would have everything we ordered again. Cocktails were mid tier - I had a lychee martini and usually love them but this one was not for me. I switched to wine and the Sancerre by the glass was great. Service was quick, but we didn't not feel rushed at all. The server/chef plated our food after cooking it in front of us and split it evenly for the group. Busy, but not too crowded and a great view of the city!

The view is awesome!! With almost full Times Square view while dinning here! Food: pretty good on regular menu. If you are sitting by window seat, you will need to order the course menu. Went there with my girl friend, each of us ordered the bbq small set menu, more than enough meat, we were both full by 2nd course, and they have people came over to cook for you! With A LOT of side dishes, we had to take them home for another meal! This is a very good price based on the portion and pretty good BBQ meat. Went back for new year Eve, course menu was just OK, prefer their regular BBQ Menu. Service was always good! Trying to book 2 days before New Year's Eve, we couldn't see anything online anymore, emailed them, they told us to just book any time slots and managed to get us table for the count down! If you are coming here for the Ball drop, you will not be able to see the ball drop building, but we were happy enough to be able to seat up high watching Times Square view, and did not have to jam with traffic later 12am. Will visit again!

This place was simply an amazing dining experience. The octopus for appetizer and the premium set steaks for our dinner was outstanding. The Won Soju paired really well with our meal. The view, especially at night, is beautiful. I wish we were able to sit closer to the window, but it was still a great atmosphere. The service is also great and well informed on the menu. I recommend for a special occasion as it is more formal. Very comparable to my Cote experience, except this place comes with a view.

If you want a good kbbq experience with a view and good service, this is the place to be! I would say that the kbbq wasn't the selling point (in comparison to other kbbq places in the ktown vicinity), but the views alone are unique and contributes to the experience! We celebrated our anniversary here and did the tasting menu ($145 per person) with a guaranteed window seat. I honestly loved the starters! They were innovative and the taste profile was insane! The meat was great quality, but just like other kbbq spots. Overall a good experience for a special occasion! Note: we had a little trouble finding the entrance, but it's right next to the Tiger Sugar on 34th!
