Gunbae

My friend and I had lunch here and it was exceptional! Best Korean BBQ I’ve had. We got the beef bulgogi and the Kobe brisket. The place was very clean and everyone was very polite and professional. Highly recommend the lyche sprite soju!

What a great meal experience, you have to do this! Meat/sides were all authentically Asian, fresh, & delicious. Cooked right there in front on you and to order - One of our favorite places to eat that we visited while in NYC. What a gem! I rarely give out 5 stars...but this place earned it.

Amazing soju. Great prices. Loved the atmosphere.

Good portions and atmosphere

Great service - and amazing food

So good, the room is filled with good energy and the staff is so nice !!! Shout out Ely

Mediocre, crazy that you can spend $90 on their hotpot and you still have to ask for rice

Wagyu and Kalbi are Extremely good! Extremely! 개 맛있어！肉贼拉好吃，就点Kalbi。 调味kalbi肉嫩的适中，味调的非常正，而且完全没有盖掉肉的味道。烤得也非常好，会有角落上焦焦的部分平衡口感，整体上是嫩但不失弹性的。超赞。 服务部分，帮你烤肉这点就不说了。细节也非常好。我们当时要了个剪子剪衣服的线头，店长直接拿来一个干净剪子，然后剪完以后，直接把剪子放进了清洁桶。 当然缺点是存在的，海鲜饼直接跳过，点都不要点。量小且并不好吃。石锅拌饭中等偏下，没有紫菜碎，没有豆芽。肚子饿实在想吃可以点，但是没必要专门点。但是毕竟不像是海鲜饼，那个是纯浪费钱。
