    The ambiance is nice, but this isn’t authentic Korean food (they didn’t even offer ssam or ssamjang) and the quality is mediocre at best. If you’re looking for a great view, then this place checks that box, otherwise don’t bother.

    GAONNURI is an upscale Korean restaurant in NY midtown and highly recommended for their authentic Korean food. We ordered Seafood pancakes and sweet and sour chicken for appetizers and BibimBap (pork) as our main entree - very flavorful and definitely the best I have had out of the many Korean restaurants I have been to.

    Great food, including many gluten free options (naturally gluten free or that could be made gluten free). Pricey, but for the food and views, that is expected. Very nice and knowledgeable server

    they force you if you want to have the table in front of the view. you have to eat a special menu that they have for $145 per person. and you can't decide what you want to eat. I tried to talk to the manager and tell him that we could spend the same amount but that he would let us eat from the regular menu of the restaurant. the answer was no, that if we wanted to eat from the regular menu we had to go to another table that was not in the window. this was disrespectful. nobody wants to go to a restaurant and have them decide what you have to eat.

    The food matched the superb views and our server was both efficient and helpful. Excellent advice given as we ordered and and the table cooking experience was seamless and delicious. A great ending to a packed NY trip and the fact that we had a window table made the intimacy of the view an integral pert of the evening.

    This place has a great menu and an even better view. It's worth the slighly higher price tag, especially if you can get a window table. I recommend the lobster stir-fried kimchi rice.

    Food was wonderful but service failed kinda half way through. Didn’t clear the dishes from the main dish until we had been done for at least 30 minutes. Dessert took forever. And still demanded 20% gratitude

    Very good food. Good service, including an active manager who stopped by the table twice to ensure our full satisfaction. Good waiter guidance that two appetizers and two mains were sufficient for three diners. Seafood pancake appetizer was excellent; don’t choose the dumplings. Both the steak and the short rib on the grill were very good. The accompaniments were also pretty good. We didn’t have a window table. It would have been nice. But the sun going down across the Hudson was really nice.

    The food and ambiance was great, however the receptionist at the from with black hair was extremely rude. She was very unwelcoming and didn’t have us seated until I asked her. She made us order at the check in desk and told us we had to order before getting seated. Honestly it was extremely ridiculous. I also dislike how the restaurant serves family style for a group more than 6 people. Although the food was great I wish there was more flexibility for ordering even if there was a larger group. Our waiter/severs were extremely nice and attentive, so for the most part the experience was great I just hope there was someone more welcoming at the check in desk.

    I took my mum here for mother's day and it was the PERFECT meal. We're both Korean so we usually don't splurge on Korean food as we can just cook it ourselves but this really was above and beyond and worth the extra money. Also, all the waitstaff was incredibly lovely and helped us to have a really special night. Can't recommend this place enough!

    Very stressed Waiter, pushed us to do the Korean bbq as fast as possible. 20% additional gratuity appeared on our bill for a party of two. Restaurant also marked us a no-show, so now likely additional hassle. Food was overall good. Desert was great.

    I took my out of town guests for dinner last night. It was first time back since we had our son’s HS graduation dinner there. Everything was top notch. I had requested a window table which we got. The service was outstanding, including a table-side visit from the manager at the end of our meal. We shared several dishes, including tuna tartar, a mushroom appetizer, and steamed veggie dumplings. We then shared prime rib BBQ and black cod entree. We even split two desserts which were yummy (the homemade madeleines to die for). Cocktails and wine all excellent. Can’t wait for an excuse to go back!

    Good food. We were greeted at immediately with "You need to be out of your table by 7:00" even though we had reservations from over 30 days ago AND the restaurant was very empty. While the restaurant is on the 39th floor and has a good view, the windows are filthy and the view is compromised. The tables areb N rough shape and have water stains. I probably wouldn't go again.

    You’re buying a good experience with delicious food. The place offers a good ambience for friends get together, celebrations, business meetings, etc. Tried the tasting menu and it was amazing; they advice you in what to eat and what to avoid in case of any food allergies. Drinks are ok. Variety in wine list. The view it’s wonderful (sunset time)
