Gunbae

We came in on a slow Sunday afternoon about 3pm. We randomly decided that it was a karaoke kind of day. The place was empty but Eric set up the downstairs bar for us and gave us stellar service throughout our 3 hour rampage through random songs sets. The bar snacks were great- we had some kimchi pancakes, wings and pork dumplings. The atmosphere is cool and they have private rooms. Eric told us that there is going to be happy hour specials soon for the newly completed karaoke bar downstairs. We can’t wait to try them and also the upstairs Korean barbecue. The food and atmosphere were great but I can’t emphasize enough how welcome Eric made us feel- even though we were alone downstairs (Sunday at 3pm is not prime karaoke time).

We made a reservation for 14 and were seated right away. Great spot for large groups. We ordered 3 combos for our table with beer, sangria and wine. What an amazing spread. The soups, bonchon and meats were amazing. We were in town visiting our kids from college and had a blast. Service was friendly, attentive and quick. Plus Joseph cooked all the food for us and did an awesome job. Thank you! We loved it and can’t wait to come back.

Came here with a group of 15 out of town guests. Ellie took our reservation and was so easy to work with. Our servers were friendly and attentive; Joseph took the time to explain the menu and how it all worked. The meat was super tasty and great quality. Definitely a must go, especially if you’re a big group looking for great Korean BBQ, this is the place to be. Thank you for a fun experience!

Great location and service, they are super fast! And the food is delicious, I enjoyed it a lot. Loved this cozy spot. Will definitely come back!

Traditional Korean fare in downtown NYC. Comes with free condiments to give you a good starter before the main course comes about. Soup abit blend and the taste of the food have definitely deviated from the traditional Korean fare. Atmosphere is great for a get together for sure.

Had a terrible experience while dining here. I was really excited to try this restaurant out after seeing the wide variety on the menu. However, i was hesitant to after seeing the B health review on the door. The servers were inattentive to me and my friends. We constantly had to get their attention to place our order, ask for water/refills, and after receiving our order they didn’t check up on us once. The food itself was decent but the service was horrible. They weren’t even that busy to ignore us. For that reason I wouldn’t come back. We were fed up to the point where when we were ready to pay and leave it took them over 15 mins to get the check from us so we had to get up and go to the front ourselves. I wouldn’t go back here again.

Im allergic to peanuts and this place made me feel very comfortable. In fact i contacted them about a month before i went and threw a bunch of questions at them about their kitchen, ingredients, what products they use etc... They answered every single one. Me and half a dozen friends went their on a Saturday night and had a great time. I tried foods I've never tried before and wasn't disappointed by a single one. I'm kicking myself for not trying some of these things sooner but i have a feeling that GunBae may now have set my expectations too high. Service was very quick and attentive, the atmosphere was fantastic, unique plates and bowls, and very clean. We didn't do karaoke but the rates aren't bad at all. Again i cant thank them enough for responding to my emails bugging them about my nut allergy but i felt very comfortable in the end. My friends and i paid about 100 dollars each and I walked away very very full. very worth it and I'm hoping to go here again soon.
