Gammeeok

Worst restaurant of my life. 🫥 I ordered kimchi stew and it came with only 6 super thin slices of meat, 4 tiny diagonal slices of tofu, and just one pack of ramen… that’s it… Side dishes? Just two kinds of kimchi… seriously? 🤷‍♀️ Especially for foreigners coming because of the K-food hype, Korean restaurants are NOT usually like this! Please avoid this restaurant 🚫 Oh, and the staff weren’t friendly either.. 🙂‍↔️

I’ve heard a lot about Gammiok in New York, so I finally stopped by while visiting Koreatown — and it did not disappoint! The restaurant was clean, calm, and welcoming. Since I went around 10:30 in the morning, it wasn’t too busy, which made the atmosphere even more relaxing. The side dishes, especially the kimchi, were incredibly delicious and full of flavor. The main dishes tasted very natural — not overly seasoned or artificial — you could really taste the quality of the meat and vegetables. I even saw someone making dumplings by hand, which made me trust the place even more. A true Korean restaurant that serves honest, authentic food!

i love this place! I love beef soondubu but have it every once in a blue moon. Came here with a friend for lunch, the spicy pork bibimbap was a 10/10 for her and I tried some of the pork which were big and had a good rice to meat ratio. The beef soondubu is my favorite thing, it’s hot and stays hot for the whole stay, comes with white rice, and the mixture of both is just so good. I also came here by myself for a quick meal in the cold and it warmed me up really fast. The lady at the front is extremely nice and all the workers seem to be working hard to get to everyone.

Seolleong tang really hit the spot. It was a cold, rainy morning. I had come from a doctor’s appointment and was craving something warm and well healing. Seolleong tang. Thankfully Gammeeok was open at 10am. Most restaurants open at 11 or 11:30. The place was empty except two other single diners and two groups of four. I got a seat by the window which was perfect. 32nd street is unusually empty and quiet. Oh yeah it’s a rainy Tuesday morning. The kimchee was a perfect level of spicy and sweet for Seolleong tang. The soup was bubbling when I got it. The broth was milky white. Slices of beef were submerged with the noodles and rice. I added three to four spoons of diced green onions and heaping amount of salt. Ahhhh. Service was typical Korean efficiency. They left me alone for the most part. I paid up front when I was ready. Cheaper if you pay by cash which I did. Still was over $20’with tip but everything is expensive now. I would probably never make Seolleong tang, so much work, so I’ll come back especially on a rainy midweek morning.

Amazing Korean food. We loved the kimchi and radish kimchi! Their homemade soondae is the best I've ever had. Very kind staff. I love that they are open 24 hours. I woke up craving Korean galbitang and walked right over at 9A and was warmly greeted. Thank you for a delicious, reliable Korean dinner all hours of the day!

absolutely ADORE this spot! the vibes are always immaculate & the staff and service are exceptional!!! i always come here when i am feeling under the weather or just am craving a hearty savory korean meal. plus, they have free lolipops at the end of ur meal!! All in all, Gammeeok is hands down the most amazing place for k food in manhattan!! LOVE YALL❤️❤️

Came in here in possibly the most busy night of the year - Halloween weekend at 2am daylight savings time. Place was super chaotic. Extremely busy with customers but the workers were somehow able to seat and feed everyone that came in. Soondobu dish was amazing. Full of flavor and hearty. The seafood scallion pancake was absolutely amazing. i could eat that thing for a meal and would be satisfied. Would be happy to come back here anytime! Not just a late night after kareoke.
