Gunbae

High end table top Korean bbq spot with private karaoke rooms in the back. The wait staff will cut and cook the steaks for you. Everything shared and a lot of premium items can boost the bill up fast without a plan. Went to the private karaoke rooms after and had a blast, more buckets of beer and passable renditions of pop songs to end the night.

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.

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).

Simplistic and delicious. I crave Korean food and was pleased to come across Gunbae on the lower west side. We ordered japchae with veggies and tofu bibimbap, along with banchan - it was an absolute perfect lunch! Service was friendly, attentive and food came out quick. We came on a Wednesday at noon when they opened without a reservation & we were seated right away.

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!
