Just spectacular. I and my wife was not expecting anything close to the service that we got. I will make sure to visit again whenever I am in New York and to tell all my friends about this wonderful restaurant.
Celebrated a new job with my boyfriend and parents! We had a delightful and fun experience at this restaurant. Food was great, interactive, and the ambiance was lively. 10/10 would go back.
Great food and service. The view is also spectacular.
Love it everything was great, my wife and I celebrated our anniversary
The Food and the view are good but the staff isn’t friendly at all. The background music was not grear
Great views and ambiance!
This is by far worth every penny spent. The ambiance, staff and food was great. I love how certain meals are cooked in front of you even the fact that they added their twist to some of the dishes. My favorite; which is simple was the Shirley temple that I ordered which came with black cherry and black grenadine instead of red. I will be returning to this restaurant and will be recommending.
We did not get a table with a view but had really great time with our friends. Foods were really good and one of our cocktails got replaced at our request while the others were great!
Amazing! Would definitely recommend and go back soon
Simply love Gaonnuri, always delicious and great service. The views are amazing too and a great extra to make a great experience.
They have wonderful view of midtown. May not be the best Korean BBQ for the price, but still a great place to take your friends especially if they are from out of town.
I didn't like my server and the food wasn't that good for the price. but the skyline view was amazing. The appetizer was much better than the entrees and the choices were pretty limited.
For a special occasion this is an excellent place to go. The food was good, although the variety of side dishes was limited. Service was good
Great hospitality with a beautiful view and well executed Korean fare.
Surprisingly good. The food, the service and particularly the atmosphere; beautiful room overlooking midtown Manhattan and the Hudson River
I had a wonderful time!
Excellent atmosphere, food and service!!
Friends graduation
Great ambience, incredible food. Great service, try to get reservation for sunset to appreciate the views.
Not to be missed. This is one of my fav spots in New York City! Stunning view, amazing food and convivial ambiance made even more amazing by gracious and attentive staff.
Absolutely perfection in every way! Ambiance, attention to detail, service and the food were exceptional!
This restaurant is very good in my opinion. The view is pretty and the the food is delicious.
I went to celebrate my birthday. The service was great, the food was really good and they surprised me with a little cake with a candle. Highly recommend!
Birthday dinner for my girlfriend it was a great experience with a very impressive view
The view was great, service was amazing food was good but the ambiance was a little cold and undone.
Excellent as always nothing more to add. I hate character counts.
Good vibes and great food. Would definitely go back
Me encantó este Restaurante, comida buenísima y precios razonables para la calidad, tiene unas vistas increíbles, el restaurante es bien bonito, sin duda voy a volver 5/5
A very beautiful atmosphere and with very attentive staff
The marinated kalbi and the prime ribeye were amazing and are our favorite go-to items whenever we come here. Their soups are amazing too. The view is beautiful. This is a great place to take a date or celebrate a special occasion. Their non-alcoholic drink, the “yuzu fresh,” is very delicious and is highly recommended for those who don’t drink alcohol.
My first time trying Korean barbecue and boy was it amazing. I’m glad I chose to go to Gaonnuri for my first time. The view was to die for. Rich was our server that evening and was extremely kind and knowledgeable. I’m from central Virginia so I’m not in NYC as often but the next time I’m in the city I will be heading back.
Everything was good
Amazing food and views! It is a great place for a special occasion.
It was wonderful. They were very understanding even though we were just a teeny bit late because the garage we had reserved was not accessible so we had to scurry to find another parking arrangement. The staff was friendly and the food was great like always! Love the ambiance and the beautiful view of the city!
Very nice place. Requested a window table for the views but didn’t get accommodated. Place is nice with great views. Drinks great and so was good
I love GAONNURI, the food is simply delicious every time! And you can get very beautiful views of the city. I started going every Restaurant week to be able to try many different things for a decent price, but the quality of food and dinning experience is worth every penny.
Staff was efficient and attentive to our table.
Amazing food, amazing service, amazing view. Everything was just amazing. 100% coming back here!
Great culinary experience with and amazing view of the city😍
Starting from maitre d’ who was shining up to a table while ignoring the people (us) waiting to be seated. Then overly intrusive wait staff on other end of spectrum. Mediocre food and high prices. Only thing going for this place is the views of downtown Manhattan.
