"Traditional Korean BBQ......no fuss....no muss. The Bulgogi was top notch, all side dishes were savory. This place rivals any of the BBQ joints I have eaten at before, to include high end restaurants inside South Korea."

"The food is always spot on, the service is genuine, attentive and balanced and the view just can't be beat. 39 floors up, you have a full view of the world's best city as you eat top-notch Korean food. A must for dinner for two, entertaining clients, or bringing someone for the first time. This is the place."

"The view at Gaonnuri is everything it is cracked up to be. Fabulous view of the West Side, sleek premises. Contrary to some reports, the waitstaff is young, attractive, and gracious as well. The food is good, portions a trifle small, and yes, on the overpriced side, but if you don't have appetizers, and share the Baked Alaska (terrific dessert!), the prices become reasonable. Do order at
least something to grill at the table, and ask for a window view!"

"View: Every table at this restaurant has a great view from the 29th floor. This was the best part of the experience
Service: Surreal but humorously funny. Food arrived in random order: main dishes before appetizers. Was difficult to get the waiter's attention to get more water.
Food: The food was ok. The octopus was overcooked and rubbery but the marinated beef was good."

"I've had lunch and dinner here. My guests have all been very impressed. It is comfortable yet elegant, appropriate for business and personal dining. The food is upscale Korean- really very finely prepared and delicious. The view is outstanding. Even when very busy the tables are well spaced so you can enjoy the buzz and never overhear your neighbor's conversation or feel intruded upon. The staff is polite and attentive, never pushy and not an ounce of arrogance. It is one of my favorite places."

"Korean food is one of top choices for food lovers in NYC. However, it wasn't the top pick for a special occasion or romantic moment.
However, you deserve great ambiance at this Korean restaurant!
However, you deserve great ambiance at this Korean restaurant!
It has great midtown view from the high-rise building (restaurant is located in the top of the building - 34th FL?)
I went there for lunch and had duck and beef BBQ. I realized that they serve high quality meat. It was very delicious!!
Overall, I think it is reasonably priced considering great ambiance, view, quality of food and services.

"Gaonnuri was a very solid experience. First off, being on the 39th floor is a jaw dropper. Surprisingly easy to get a reservation, maybe because it was a Tuesday night. Great decor and design. Service is 8/10. Food is okay. Very decent but nothing blew me out of the water. Korean food just hasn't hit cuisine level yet in my opinion. Good time overall."

"Stunning views of the city set the scene... Call before and make sure you get a table by the window (and with a BBQ if you want that). We had dumplings and korean BBQ for 3 people. Dumplings were good, nothing exceptional. The BBQ was very nice, the marinated short ribs were amazing, otherwise I would say the food was not extraordinary but a fun way to eat and tasty. Had the snickers bar for dessert, which was very nice! Service very quick and nice!
Would absolutely recommend going there"

"Gaonnuri is a real find. Whether or not it is the best restaurant in Koreatown i leave to experts in that cuisine. But it's terrific, and the reason one comes to Gaonnuri is some combination of food, ambiance, and especially the stunning view from the 39th floor. It's like being perched in a particularly elegant eagle's nest. Because it's on 32nd St. there is a stupendous close up view of the Empire State from the bar, and the entire main dining area is surrounded by views, north, east and west. Sunset is particularly lovely. The food, once again, is terrific. I had the tartare, which if ordered large is a softball size lump of exquisitely seasoned beef. The mushroom dish we ordered was also great, as were Korean staples like Galbi."

"The food was good enough to worth visit again but mostly because of the scene. Definitely one of the best views in town!
The price for what you get and compared to other places in town, had the best ratio between value and money!

"I was looking forward to dinner here because of the view and great reviews, but the service was terrible. We had a large group (13 people) and we got no service. It took at least 45 minutes before we got drinks. Because of the number of people there was a price fixe menu (which was not communicated to me at the time of booking - I got a call day of saying this was my only choice), and the menu was limited. Overall - very saddened with this experience, and will not be returning. The only thing saving this place are the views."

"I made a reservation and was told that I had to finish my food within a certain amount of time so that the next reservation can come in. They gave us an hour and 15 minutes to finish, which should have been enough time. 1 appetizer and entree later, service stopped. Waiters they deliberately waited to take away our plates until the last minute so that there wouldn't be any time left for us to order dessert. They bring us the check and when I asked to see the dessert menu, they said my time was up and that I could go order it in the lounge. Basically I was rushed and kicked out.
NOT how you treat your customers."

"I think this place is great. It wasn't the best Korean food I ever had but it was very good. It is an upscale choice for the usual street front K-town restuarants. I recommend it for when you want Korean but don't want to deal with the other places. Amazing view."

"Food and ambiance were great. The service was really bad though. Not sure if it was just a bad night or normal but hopefully they improve their service to improve the overall experience."

"I don't really love the korean kitchen, so do not really trust my judgement on food (that by the way was not bad at all!!), but if you decide to go to Gaonnuri I think you do it also for the amazing view you have on the City, the view that only a restaurant located on the 39th floor can give..."

"[Sigh], another classic example where the food does not match the spectacular views. The braised short ribs (supposedly a signature dish) was rubbery and tough, probably the worse I've ever eaten. But the baked Alaska was ok- perhaps a bit too sweet, so ok. Solution: you come here for drinks, enjoy the view, then leave and go elsewhere for good Korean food."

"Went for dinner. Everything about this place is extremely pleasant. Service with a smile is very efficient, attentive and professional. The food is just great. Our dumpling and glass noodle appetizers were both delicious and very flavorful. The 60 dollar barbecue platter was perfect for 2 people and was wonderful. Wow, did I love that brisket and marinated short ribs. The Black Forest Baked Alaska was a real show stopper and a perfect end to a great dinner. Oh, may I add that the room and the view were fabulous, too!!"

"The view is nice but food is not very authentic. Bo Ssam was tasty and I liked how they gave sesame seed leaves but
Jungsik menu needs to be improved. Not enough side dishes to make it a proper set menu. And eel sauce with mackerel
is not a good combination. It tastes too much like fusion food. Gaonnuri has a nice ambience for out of town guests or business
meetings but if you want great Korean food, this is not a place I would recommend."

"I was looking to impress a great friend for his birthday and he was wowed the minute we took the elevator to the Penthouse floor. We arrived right when the sun was setting over the Hudson. Service was very attentive, food was delicious. The sesame sauce for the pork belly was special, bulgogi perfectly marinated, deserts were out of this world. We ordered the baked alaska and the snickers. The deconstructed snickers was a perfect blend of crunchy, chocolate and salty. SO many places in this town that have fantastic views fail to deliver on food. Gaonnuri nails both."

"2 friends and i had a great time there. i reserved ahead, received an email reminder the day before, and was warmly received when i arrived. we each had a glass of wine (generously poured) and the kalbi box lunch which was very tasty. tho the banchans were meager, they brought us extra portions upon request. the service is great, the view spectacular, the decor minimalist and trendy, and the music upbeat but serene. even tho we stayed for almost 2 hours, the staff was cordial and professional. tho we usually go to more moderately priced places closer to the ground, this was a special and very enjoyable experience. i would recommend it highly!"

"Gaonnuri rises above Korea Town, just steps from Penn Station, Macy's - offering
excellent Korean fare plus an incomparable view of the city. Our waitress told us the BBQ was only enough for 2 (maybe 2 with huge appetites)...so we ordered tongue and duck breast, both excellent (but way too much meat!)."

"I think this place could be pretty successful. Food is good and the service is great. I am sure people who are experts in Korean food might prefer more authentic places and the prices at Gaonnuri are certainly on the high side, but you are paying for the view and the view really is superb. Overall, when you consider that so many restaurants in NY that offer a great view are terrible and full of tourists (I'm looking at you The View), Gaonnuri actually offers good food with great service. The prices mean you won't go back every week, but you will take someone when they visit from out of town."
