Upscale Korean BBQ with panoramic skyscraper views & tabletop grills
"This penthouse Korean restaurant is graced with a prime panoramic view of the Midtown skyline and a Korean barbecue selection that is just as high-level. Yes, the menu feels a little pricey, but the overall ambience is quite refined and fun with table grills." - Nadia Chaudhury
"On the 39th floor of a building in Koreatown, Gaonnuri serves cuts of sirloin and pork neck that you can cook at your table with the whole city at your feet. All the meats are good, but we’re partial to the deeply-marinated galbi and the pork belly. You can find similar—or even better—KBBQ down at street level for a third of the price, but a sky tax should be expected. Ideally, you’re either here celebrating a special occasion, or you have an expense account." - hannah albertine, neha talreja, bryan kim, kenny yang

"The city has a number of rooftop restaurants with views that’ll make you feel a lot of feelings, but very few of them have interesting food. Gaonnuri is a “penthouse KBBQ” restaurant on the 39th floor of a building in Koreatown. If you want a table by the window (you do), you’re required to do the $145 tasting menu option (or the splashier $195 Omakase BBQ). The tasting includes two apps, ribeye and galbi BBQ, bibimbap, and dessert. It’s pricey, but it’s worth the sky tax to eat perfectly marinated cuts of meat off of your tabletop grill, with the whole city at your feet." - neha talreja, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah

Just keep in mind that you can only reserve a table right by the windows if you do their tasting menu." - neha talreja, bryan kim, carina finn koeppicus, hannah albertine
