The service was a bit disastrous in the beginning. People were curt and the dining area was so hot and muggy throughout the meal. However, the main servers were so nice and friendly. Dress code says business casual, but there were people in shorts in there, which I don't mind, and I appreciate the flexibility. They have a pre theater menu that starts at 4pm, that is a pretty good deal for $65. We got this and the NY strip to share. They start you off with warm buttery brioche bread and butter. I got the NA Big apple drink which is nicely sweet. The NY Strip was buttery and the homemade steak sauce (garlic tomato?) was smoky and a nice accompaniment. The tuna tartare comes with egg salad and has gochujang potato chips on top. A nice twist. The market fish was branzino, and the surprise of the day was the pine nuts amaldine sauce which comes hot and with citrus. This was a delicious sauce that we poured generously on our dish. We chose the apple cheesecake as dessert and the rice crumble was tasty. A little too much apple for my liking but a solid cheesecake.

Absolutely delicious! I stopped in to try Gui Steakhouse during restaurant week and loved it! $30 for an appetizer and entree was a steal. My husband and I both enjoyed the salmon tartare, which was topped over some egg salad. Sounds like a weird pairing but it was creamy and balanced with the freshness of the salmon. I had the steak frites which was tender and cooked to perfection! My husband had the burger which I think I liked even more than the steak frites. It was very decadent with delicious caramelized onions! Both entrees and appetizers were decent portions, plus a complimentary piece of bread so we left very stuffed with no room for dessert. The ambiance was nice and sophisticated with super friendly attentive staff. I would definitely go back even without the restaurant week deal

Went to Gui Steakhouse on a relatively quiet Sunday evening and had a great dinner. The restaurant is located on the second floor - spacious yet elegant. We started with the Chopped Salad (very good) and the Shrimp Toast (a little small but tasty). It was our mains that really stood out - the Prime Rib and the Galbi steak were both excellent. Flavorful and well prepared. The Truffle Mac n Cheese was a nice side to share as was the Wild Mushrooms. The Tiramisu for dessert provided a nice finish to the meal. Our server Samantha was friendly and helpful as was the rest of the staff. Will definitely be back!

Gui steakhouse is a modern NYC steakhouse by Chef Sungchul Shim. If you've seen Culinary Class Wars, he was one of the white spoon chefs from season 2. The restaurant serves American steakhouse classics with a Korean twist. The $65 3-course menu is a great deal - you get an appetizer, entree and dessert. Highly recommend the crudo and steak frites. We also ordered the crème corn on the side, which paired perfectly with the steak. The interior felt modern and upscale. The only thing that could be improved is the service, in particular the timeliness of our dishes. I ordered an espresso martini at the beginning of the meal and didn't receive it until after the entree. The creme corn, which was ordered as an accompaniment to the steak, also arrived later than the entree and we had to ask the server a couple of times regarding the status. If you're watching a Broadway show at Eugene O'Neill Theatre, this restaurant is the perfect pre-show dinner as it's located only a 5-minute walk from the theatre.

Appetizer was fine, complimentary bread was the best, so soft! Caesar Salad was okay just very classic, cannot taste the umeboshi. Salmon Tartare was okay, with cheap crostini a bit disappointed. Mandoo - $19 for 2 dumpling was a bit of robbery. Time for the steak --- i'd say the meat was solid, good meat! However, probably rested toooo long. Both prime rib and T-Bone were basically lukewarm or cold when it was served. What's the point putting T Bone on cast iron pan when the pan is cold as well... It was a big space, a bit sparse and quiet on a Friday night.

Amazing experience from start to finish, I felt like I had a personalized dinner just because I went to dinner with a friend who attended a Guga event here earlier and he was recognized by the hostess. First of all, ambiance is great. There are some contemporary songs being played in the background, but it's not too overpowering that you can't have a conversation over. Decor is great with dim lighting that would be perfect a date night. Of course none of that matters if the food isn't good, but the food here is simply outstanding. I ordered the ribeye and Brussel sprouts, while my friend ordered the prime rib and yu choy tips. We also ordered the kimchi fried rice. The steaks are cooked to perfection at medium rare (though if I were to nitpick it could a slight bit more searing) and served with special sauces. The inhouse steak sauce wasn't bad, but I liked my steak without it. The fried rice, yu choy tips, and Brussel Sprouts were all also fantastic. There were some complimentary dishes of the chef(unexpected) and they were amazing. First was the bread; I don't think it was on the menu currently online? Butter was creamy and at the perfect temperature where it spreads easily on the delectable bread that had like small popcorn bits on top? The Caesar salad was also great with bits of anchovy that added a small, sweet flavor. The salmon crudo(?) was refreshing especially with the sauce. Dessert, we went for the Paris-Jeju. It was fantastic, wasn't overly sweet and had a cookie-like texture. What stood out though was the service; one of the best I have ever experienced. Samantha, our waitress, was very attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of. She was mindful of my friend's allergy to shellfish so she double checked everything we ordered (the fried rice does use shrimp paste) to make sure everything was okay. Then you have all these complimentary dishes mentioned above that the other waiters brought in and any time our water glasses were close to being half-empty, someone came in to generous refill them. At the end, I nearly forgot my credit card, but somehow Samantha knew and she stopped me and my party. So thank you again, Samantha and your extraordinary sixth sense.

To get to the restaurant we had to take the elevator upstairs. Once inside we were lead to a table. The friendly waitress chatted with us. She apparently knew it was for a birthday. She came out with menus with a Happy Birthday printed on the menu and some water. A friend joined us in a few minutes. We all got The experience for 4 which included bread, a salad, two steaks, mash potatoes, and creamed corn. The bread came out and I did a double take because it was sprinkled with tiny pieces of popcorn. It was warm but the star was the creamy butter. The salad for the table amenities next. The dressing was light and refreshing. Then came the steaks, perfect medium rare. It was tender and juicy. The horseradish was creamy but not too spicy. The cream corn was good. There was a crunchy cheese crust on top. The mash potatoes was also good. For dessert we asked for a baked Alaska but they said they no longer have it. So we got black sesame ice cream in a crunchy shell. I also got some persimmon tea. It was ok but it didnt have any persimmon flavor.They even put a candle on the plate. It was a nice evening.

Enjoyed both Kochi and Mari in the past, so I've been wanting to come to Gui for a while. I finally made it in with an old coworker I hadn't seen in a long time, which already made the night feel special. We brought a 41‑year‑old bottle of Opus One and decided to open it before it got any older. Corkage was $75. We ordered the Gui seafood platter to start, and then we each got a Galbi steak with Choron sauce. For sides, we had the pommes purée and the barley risotto. Most of the seafood platter was very good, but the clams tasted a bit fishy to me. The Galbi was delicious, the pommes purée is a must‑order, and the barley risotto is good if you actually enjoy barley. For dessert, I had the pear sorbet and my friend had the Paris‑Jeju, which actually looked like a bagel. Both desserts were quite good. He liked the Paris‑Jeju so much that he ordered an extra one to go. What brought this down from 5 stars to 4 was the service. At the beginning of the night the service was pretty attentive, but then it became almost nonexistent. I had to flag someone down to have our table cleared and to order dessert. Overall, the meal was very good and I'd come back, especially for the Galbi, sides, and desserts. I just hope the service is more consistent next time.

Gui Steakhouse is one of those places you can easily walk right past if you aren't looking for it, but once inside, it's well worth the stop. There's a bar and lounge downstairs called Bar 92, but we went upstairs for dinner at Gui, and the food, ambiance, and service were all truly five-star. For our first visit, we decided on the $65 prix fixe menu, which includes three courses, and also ordered a lump crab cake à la carte. With drinks, add-ons, tax, and tip, the total came out to about $140 per person, which felt reasonable for the overall experience. The drinks were good overall. I really enjoyed the Jungle Bird Punch since it was flavorful and different, even though the glass was only filled a little over halfway. My friend tried the Wine Punch and thought it was okay but felt like something was missing, almost like it was a standard sangria. For the prix fixe, we chose the Caesar salad and crudo to start, followed by steak frites and the branzino from the day's fish market. Everything leading up to dessert was excellent. The steak was cooked perfectly to preference, the salad was a nicely sized portion, and the warm, soft brioche table bread was a highlight. Dessert was good but didn't quite wow us. The black and white cake is great for anyone who loves a deep chocolate flavor, and the apple cheesecake was enjoyable, though next time I'd try something different. Our server Ann was absolutely wonderful. She checked in just the right amount without making us feel rushed or bombarded, made thoughtful recommendations, answered all of our questions, and was very attentive to noting any allergies or food restrictions, which we truly appreciated. The only reason this lands at a 4.5 instead of a full five is the wine punch falling a bit flat and desserts being solid but not memorable. That said, everything else was delicious, and we're definitely planning to return.

Honestly, this restaurant gets high marks from me. I came during restaurant week and enjoyed everything. The restaurant was not only clean, the staff was attentive and on point. Service was fast and we were constantly checked on. For appetizers, I got the prawns. They were decent, not super flavorful but a decent dish for sure. For my entree, I got the branzino and my friend got the steak. Hello? No notes. I still think about it. The steak was cooked medium, the flavor, the char, just wow. The branzino? Just wow. Definitely one of the best branzinos I ever had. For dessert, I believe my friend got the black and white cake and at the time I got the apple cheesecake. I'm not sure if that's on their menu anymore but we enjoyed our desserts. All in all, we'll be back

Stopped in for some appetizers at the bar, this is separated as a waiting area, dark lighting, away from the rest of the restaurant. Very busy - folks waiting on reservations and seeing if any open space. Bartender accidentally gave me a full dose of their tea extract in a drink instead of a simple unsweet tea... they corrected it though after checking their work! Oysters were cool and refreshing, good sauce (forgot to ask which one it was). The sliders were 1x per order, but were quite good. And the fries were on-point, not too thick and cooked right. Will have to eat here another time for a full dinner as it smelled delicious! Our bar neighbors met the chef with a raucous drink in hand and took some photos, he looked young but experienced!

I love the ambiance of the upstairs dining area. Really a beautiful spot. Service was honestly very lackluster, slow, and inconsistent for this caliber of a spot. The caviar service was good, creative, and fun with all of the accompaniments that came out. The A5 Sando was delicious as expected, what an amazing bite. The Mandoo was just decent. The bibimbap was pretty bad -- texture was way off and everything in it felt old and overcooked, including the rice. The ribeye with chili crisp butter was pretty good. I enjoyed the meal but more than likely will opt for a new place in the future.

We happened to experience this fantastic Korean inspired steakhouse while sitting at their sister business Bar 92 on the first floor. Created by Michelin star Chef Sungchul Shim. While I cannot speak to the atmosphere of the actual restaurant space we were able to enjoy the delicious food offered. I did review Bar 92 separately which I do reccomend either checking it out before visiting Gui or do what my wife and I did and enjoy the drinks and food at Bar 92. Benny and AP brought absolute top notch service for us that made it a perfect night for celebrating my wife's birthday! Food wise my wife got the Flat Iron Steak which technically they did not ask how she wanted it cooked but absolutely nailed it to her liking. It came on top of some risotto and enjoyed that as well. I ended up debating between the Grilled Chicken with a mushroom Diane sauce and their Long Island Flounder. Benny sold me on the chicken because the sauce and the chicken was cooked perfectly. The sauce was full of flavor and paired with the chicken very well. Lastly Benny also convinced us to grab a dessert for the end of our meal and ended up crafting a drink to pair with it as well. The dessert was just as high quality and tasty, we ended up getting the Paris-Jeju that was listed as jeju sejak, tangerine mousse, & blackberry. It was the perfect end to our meal. I suspect like his other restaurants that Gui will be having Michelin stars in the future. Check out both here and Bar 92!
