get the yuk-hoe (the small portion is plenty), the dolsot bibimbap with galbi, and one table barbecue dish. this is more than enough food for two people and very reasonably priced!
Vincent TNovember 8, 2014
Definitely worth the experience. Highly recommend the duck and bulgogi. Drinks are also very strong but I'd stay away from the tequila drinks 😵 and make sure to request a window seat when RSVPing

Mushroom app & pancake sampler to start, BBQ shrimp & pork belly mains then Snickers bar to end on a high! Go for sunset & atmosphere. Food was polished not traditional Korean & more pricey but good

Savor: Pancake sampler, beef tartare, bossam, duck breast barbecue, kalbi barbecue, dduk mandoo guk ( a rustic mix of velvety beef broth, sliced brisket, rice cakes and juicy beef dumplings) Read more

Beautiful views from tables by the window. Order the pancake sampler, beef tartare, kalbi (short ribs). For dessert, deconstructed snickers is on point. Order a glass of Fiery Julep.

Love the sea food here. Must have sea bass & lamb very well done and their assorteded condiments are just perfect. Great setting for birthday celebrations & groups too. Not too pricey.

The “nice” Korean spot. Prime cuts. Great view. Platonic ideal of Korean food? Prob not. Good place to take fancy guests/dates. Not your #1 for Korean food in general.
JillianDecember 25, 2014
Start with the pancake sampler, go with the marinated short ribs for BBQ, and don't forgo dessert. Eat all the desserts. Unbelievable views of the city to boot.

Request a table by the window for panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline; the food is higher quality than the rest of KTown; for a party of 4, get the BBQ combo #1 and 2 bowls of dolsot bibimbap
Marc SchneebergerApril 14, 2019
Get the korean bbq table made meat. Galbi, bulgogi are their best ines. Pair it with a nice cocktail and get dessert, they really master them.

Indeed beautiful yet typical NYC night skyline. We had wines&deserts. The Spanish Rioja was honestly quite good. The deserts were decent. Would take out-of-Town visitors here for a drink to see views.

Great place for romantic or special occasion dinner where you want upscale place and fantastic view but not break bank like the $$$$ places. It's also only Asian restaurant in city with a view.
Joseph AkbrudFebruary 19, 2015
A bit pricey but the food is good and the panoramic view of the New York City skyline is spectacular. Book a reservation and request a window seat.

Get a table by the window for an incredible view. Great food, great service, and an amazing selection of Tavalon tea! They also have green tea ice cream and biscuits...a must try!
Jin MoonOctober 22, 2015
Very classly Korean restaurant. We got their combo bbq and the meat had a nice marble. Don't expect unlimited side dishes or egg casserole or soft tofu soup. It's geared towards fine dining customers.
💎TNovember 7, 2014
Because it's on the 39th floor it has an amazing view. Very limited menu compared to most places in ktown. I recommend getting the duck breast for bbq.
Eunice KimSeptember 18, 2015
The setting is made to deeply impress. I've had friends who have had amazing food experiences here. For me, the food was good but not spectacular, but I made a special memory here nonetheless.
Wilson ZhouApril 28, 2014
soo jeong kwa (poached Korean pear with cinnamon chantilly, yakgwa, and ginger ice cream), have a certain Cirque du Soleil quality. The cocktails aren’t bad, but soju is really the way to go.
Renaissance HotelsFebruary 11, 2013
Come for unbeatable views of NYC + delicious Korean staples. Try the tasty kalbi (BBQ beef short ribs) and naengmyun (spicy cold buckwheat noodles). For more, follow us on 4sq or www.renhotels.com.

If you wanna enjoy the following three things: good views, korean bbq and good drinks. Do not think twice! That's the place to go :)
Justin BartonJanuary 19, 2015
This is my new Korean BBQ spot. It's a hidden gem, located on the 39th floor of an office building. Come here for great views and good food.
Ina LiNovember 21, 2015
Amazing view! Perfect for a date night. Cocktails are all on the sweet side. The new Bourbon is okay
Justin BFebruary 4, 2018
Amazing views of the city! Super nice attentive staff and delicious food. Get the calamari salad it’s delicious.
judyApril 4, 2013
The kalbi jjim is the best short ribs I've had anywhere (sorry Mom!). Request a table by the windows - gorgeous view! And if you've got a tall party, you may want to avoid the booths.
Ed KimOctober 3, 2015
This is Gangnam style dining in New York. Though the fancy atmoshphere and amazing city views can't quite make up for the uninspiring menu.
julia tNovember 28, 2014
Fun with friends, great view (agreed with others, request when you make the res) and accept that there may be more authentic Korean fare down the block for a quarter of the price. Not the point.
Michelle WilesSeptember 19, 2016
The trendy bar on the 39th floor of this boring looking office building is the perfect refuge from herald square
Jan RoessnerFebruary 10, 2015
Wow... That was quite an experience. Terrific Korean BBQ combined with a breathtaking view! Who knew!
Nina NarváezMay 7, 2013
The service was amazing! Asked for a window seat through the open table app and got it. Our server was very helpful and knowledgable. Table BBQ is definitely a must!
Mike ElliottJuly 25, 2013
Grab a table by the windows, start with the haemul pajeon, make sure to order the marinated galbi, and of course don't forget a bottle (or three) of chamisul.
Alec JarvisFebruary 13, 2017
Small bar area but good cocktails. Good place for dinner -- make sure to reserve a table with the barbecue in-table.
Bee WilliamsJanuary 9, 2016
This place was awesome! It was on the expensive side and wasn't really like traditional Korean BBQ but views of the city were very nice!
DAugust 3, 2015
Marinated kalbi, pork belly, duck and kalbi tang. Portions were so tiny!! Pathetic banchan side dishes as well. But they do have a nice view :/
🍚May 3, 2015
Good for drinks just to see the view. Nothing else. Overpriced food. You're in the Heart of ktown with the best prices, food and Korean BBQ. Coming here will be a huge mistake. Go to New Wonjo
Toni HaberApril 2, 2014
Hidden on the 39th floor of a midtown office building, Gaonnuri offers upscale Korean BBQ with immaculate views of The Empire State Building.
Jason BrewDecember 7, 2015
The incredible view is what you'll remember, but the Korean cuisine is really good
Minnie KimSeptember 18, 2014
Finish off your delicious meal with a bowl of the sweetest madeleines! So many for only $10!
Ailie ChangSeptember 23, 2017
The few is amazing! Get a table by the window and enjoy the Korean BBQ and Bibimbap!
Sigalle BarnessMay 23, 2014
Get the Cod - one of (if not the) best cod I have ever had.
KeoMarch 30, 2014
Food was brilliant, especially table grilled duck. Thanks for warning about the plums. We ate them and had a great party afterwards.
NYMagNovember 27, 2012
Tip: Eat galbi sliders and the other bar snacks on the northeast side of the room, with its impressive view of the Empire State Building. http://bit.ly/TkfMQm

Great place in corporate building with some of the best views and very good food.

Amazing views and food but can't say the same for the kitchen service. Go in expecting things to go wrong, but they always make it right.
EatMeDrinkMeNYCApril 20, 2013
Great Service and sizable potions. The glass noodles followed by some sirloin cooked at your table will make anyone sigh.
Jason KooJanuary 12, 2015
Great galbi and views. As a friend of mine said, Take yr white out-of-town friends here to impress them.
Tim JohnsonFebruary 14, 2014

Fabulous Restaurant; Amazing Setting/Decor; Service Top Notch; Food Very Good. Best Korean...
Danny HertzJuly 28, 2014
God knows if it's authentic, but it's delicious. No need for appetizers, the entrees come with so much.
Natalie KSeptember 20, 2016
High class Korean restaurant. Not your avg KTown BBQ joint. Request a table by the window of you can.
Tian XieJune 20, 2015
Even if you're not hungry, stop by for drinks in the lounge and an amazing view.
Anurag KarupartiJuly 19, 2015
Great food! Try pork bibimbap and bulgogi! Liked the beef in bulgogi!!!
