    Espresso Martini
    Carrie H.

    My husband and I came here for happy hour last night (6/2/26), and we loved it! They have a cute little outside eating area, then you go in through two doors, and then you will be greeted by people saying something, or, as we were, a friendly hello. The restaurant is elaborately decorated with beautiful pink flowers and greenery. We sat at the bar. The bartender greeted us and let us know it was happy hour, with $2 off cocktails, beer, and wine. I got their espresso martinis (actually, I got a second one when I finished it cause why not), and my husband got their mule, which had a nice piece of candy, ginger, and a light in it. We were only here for drinks and apps as we had dinner a couple of hours later. We went with the tempura oyster mushroom tacos (they are very mini) and the everything Ttaokboitti. We loved them both so much! The little tacos come with three, but they can add another for an upcharge. We just ordered another batch (they are mini) because they were so delicious. The Ttaokbotti was so so good, and since it reminded me of an elevated mac and cheese, it was my favorite.

    Came here before a show in the city. The place was packed but we had made a reservation before so we got right in. The service is a little bouncy, with the team changing in and out on tables and rushing around which makes it hard to know who your direct server is and how you can order additional items or check on your food. The food was incredible but keep in mind most are tapas style sizes so small and should be shared while you order a few choices. They ramen entree is plenty large enough for three. We ordered a Bom Spritz and Ddal Gi Mojito to start. They are good but very light on the drink and heavy on the ice. We started with the Everything Tteokbokki which is almost like a MacNCheese and then added the Berkshire Kimchi Fried Rice. Our entree was the Seafood Ramyun and you have to like spicy because it is on the hot side. We added a Birria Mandu at the end because we saw it on someone else's table and they said they loved it. We were happy with it but already super full so it didn't land as well. Our favorite dish from the meal was the Kimchi Fried Rice. Of the servers we had, Cherry was the nicest and she slowed down to talk to us and answer our questions. The interior has a lot of table in the main drag from the kitchen so not the most comfortable. It's incredibly loud and not a good place for a first or second date unless you sit outside on the patio but then you run the risk of the summer heat eating you alive.

    Looking to try something different in the area, Gurume sounded so good, we thought we'd see if we can get a table at opening without a reservation. About 10 minutes before opening on a Saturday night there were some people waiting for the doors to open. Once we asked for a table, we were asked to step to the side so reservations could be checked in first. Luckily in a few minutes we were offered seats at the bar since they had full reservations that night. The bar was comfortable and the bartenders were great. I loved watching the cocktails being made and speaking of cocktails, they are excellent. The Bool included tequila, pomegranate and jalapeño; the other cocktail was a spritz of sorts and both were fabulous. The menu is Korean tapas, so we ordered a bunch of items to try. As each dish was served the server described the dish and even provided some instructions on the best way to eat it, if applicable. Tuna Tartare was quite good, the knife cuts were a bit inconsistent which was surprising given the level of everything, but the dish was still enjoyable; citrusy with crispy sunchoke chips. Oyster Mushroom Tacos were incredible. It didn't even feel like I was eating mushrooms. The tacos were so falvorful and balanced. If they ask you if you want to add a 4th taco to the dish, definitely say yes. Berkshire Kimchi Fried Rice served with a beautifully runny egg brought the spice and the dish was both elegant and homey at the same time. Just wonderful Birria Mandu served in a bone marrow consume was spectacular. Fried Chicken Wings, we opted for the sweet and spicy version served with kimchi daikon were sublime and addictive. They also provided a wet towel with the dish so you can clean up afterwards. Those 5 dishes were a good amount of food to feel satisfied, but we couldn't stop there and needed to try dessert. Do not pass up the Black Sesame Bread pudding, it was sublime. Served in a sizzling cast iron pan with candied almond slices and ice cream. It was so unique and really really delicious. The whole experience from the hostess to the servers to the food was A+ and I can't wait to go back.

    Came here on a Wednesday around 5:00 to have dinner before a show. Able to get a table right away and the servers asked about our show time so that we would have plenty of time. It's a cozy little space that doesn't feel too dark or cramped thanks to soft lighting and mirrors. The food was amazing! Kitchen staff was very accommodating to multiple allergies (nuts and dairy) and even made some changes so that the food would be safe to eat. We had the Brussels sprouts, oyster mushroom tacos (for person without dairy allergy), mushroom harvest bowl, and tuna tartare. All of them were excellent. I would definitely come here again!

    We were fortunate enough to get a table here before our Broadway play. We arrived at 5:30pm and was out just in time for the 7pm show a couple of blocks away. Our server Caitlyn was so nice and very helpful in suggesting dishes for us. The staff is attentive and we never had an empty water glass. Our favorite dishes were the Snow Pea Salad which had such great flavor and a nice crunchy texture. The Tuna Tartar is actually cut in strips which makes it easy to pick up and eat. I would also recommend the Birria Mandu and if you are a dessert person definitely order the Black Sesame Bread Pudding!

    Korean small plates that was perfect for a group of 5. Mushroom bowl and the Tuna Tartar were the highlight. Steak and Potatoes were great but I would have loved a stronger Korean flair to them. Solid service and chill ambiance.

    Absolutely stunning. I love the idea of getting multiple small plates and trying different things and it works really well with Korean food. The dishes here were creative, using Korean flavors as well as inspiration from other cuisines for a fun spin. The Mushroom Harvest Bowl, Snow Pea Salad, Birria Mandoo, Spicy Chicken & Cheese, Jjambong Gambas, Black Sesame Bread Pudding, and Dubai Chocolate Bungeo-bbang were all worth getting. The servers were super attentive and also mindful of the time for our Broadway show. I enjoyed my Jejudo cocktail as well. Only small thing is that our table had a glare from the sun for the first 20 minutes, they've could've definitely set us up better since we've made a request on Resy. Also on Resy, you can mark the occasion, such as if you were visiting family to have a birthday dinner or going out for an anniversary, but not sure if this establishment knows what to do with that. Oh well, will chalk it up to growing pains since every dish we tried were outstanding.

    This was a fun experience. The birria mandu, steak and crudo were my favorite dishes but we sampled many. The corn was unexpectedly on the cob. Since I have an 18 year old son & this is a tapas style restaurant, the bill grew rapidly. The prices were in my opinion reasonable and the dishes filled me rapidly. All and all a great experience.

    Complimentary soju cocktails

    Found this spot right off the path of Times Square. Super nice interior and very inviting. We were a party of 3, got there when they opened at 5 and were seated right away. Our waiter Mario was excellent. Super friendly, attentive and even gave us complimentary cocktails. The drinks we ordered were excellent. Very spirit forward with good complex flavors. We got the Seoul mule (it lit up!) and the sojutini (packed a big punch!) We order a bunch of tapas off the menu and everything was delicious. Major call out to the scallop crudo which was my favorite. The flavors were unique and I'm not a novice to Korean food. The ribs (didn't snap a pic) were a close second where the meat fell off the bone and was very nicely seasoned. 5 stars all around. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area and looking for something less touristy. Shoutout again to Mario! Thank you for giving us a great experience!

    Literal 10/10 meal. The inside can be loud but the service is fast and the servers take the time to explain each one of the dishes. We met Kevin at the end of our meal and he was delightful! Our favorites were the Korean fried chicken (had to order it twice!), salmon ceviche, and grilled asparagus. The cocktails are super yummy as well! The black sesame bread pudding is also a must order. I'll be bringing my friends here in the future!

    Brussels Sprout

    We had a great experience. If you have a 7p show close by grab a 5p reservation. That's when they open up. They're kind of expecting people to want to get going to a show. The location is perfect for this!! First off Diego was our server and he was a GEM!!! he was kind, friendly, on the ball, and even went a over and beyond when he saw my daughter spilled a bit of sauce on her shirt. He went and got her a cold cloth. We also had an allergy and he helped us through choices we had . Food was delish. It's tapas so although shareable, you need a good 4-5 plates for 2 people to fill you up. They were great at bringing things out individually as opposed to everything together. They also were not shy about replacing plates and utensils so that you get a fresh place to enjoy the next flavors. Prices were reasonable.

    Steak and potatoes
    Lyn L.

    Gurume instantly gave me the vibe of modern Asian fusion with a strong Korean influence, and wow--did it deliver. Our table ordered a variety of small plates, and several absolutely blew us away. The Brussels sprouts were unbelievably flavorful, the crispy corn cheese (adorable mini corn on the cobs!) was addictive, and the steak and potatoes--a tender kalbi flat iron steak with perfectly seasoned potatoes--was easily one of the highlights of the night. The service was outstanding. The staff was super attentive, warm, and genuinely focused on making our meal special. They even asked the chef to prepare extra potatoes for me from the steak and potatoes dish--an unexpected and thoughtful touch that didn't go unnoticed. We came with a large group, and Gurume handled it effortlessly. To top it all off, they surprised our table with complimentary shots to celebrate the birthday boy, which made the evening even more fun. If you love Korean-inspired small plates, bold flavors, and fantastic hospitality, Gurume is absolutely worth a visit. I'd go back in a heartbeat!

    We stumbled upon this cozy little restaurant while we we staying in NYC over Thanksgiving week. Immediately read through the menu and had to try it out. They specialize in Korean style tapas and had a variety of fun cocktails. Each dish was absolutely mouth watering and incredible! Upon entering we were warmly greeted by the staff in Korean, which was super cute. Food arrived quickly and the dishes proved even better tasting than they sounded! Every bite was bursting with flavor. The only downside was that they did not have high chairs, but staff were super kid friendly. Would definitely recommend starting with the scallop crudo. It so sharp, zesty, and refreshing. Honestly, I've never had a scallop dish like this. It was Hokkaido Scallop with fermented chili broth, topped with pink pineapple, and Thai chilis. A very unique concept that paired super well. Our favorite dish was the Everything bagel Tteokbokki, which was out of this world. So cheesy, soft and chewy. Almost reminded me of a cacio e Pepe dish. Also do not sleep on the Steak and Potatoes!! It was prime galbi with crispy confit potatoes topped with fermented Chimichurri. One of the best steak dishes I've ever had in my life. Drinks were vibrant and different. The Seoul mule was great and came in a light up highball! Can't wait to come back next time we're in town.

It was my first time there but I was expecting the menu I saw online, not this new one. We tried 2 drinks: one inspired by Turkish figs and one inspired by lemons and the "Miracle Berry", which inverts your palate and turns sour into sweet! I really enjoyed both drinks. The figs one came with a sweet fig granola bite and the lemon one really did taste sweet after eating the "Miracle Berry"! I'd definitely come back to try their many other drinks.

Not cheap at some $25 or something, but middle of Manhattan with some creative ingredients means I guess it is what it is. Servers seemed a bit annoyed to have to deal with us shortly before close as I think they were hoping to usher people out and close down maybe a little early. One the one hand I get it, on the other hand you've got two paying customers on a slow night.

The interior was dimly lit, with a couple of candles per table or counter. It's a perfect place for a date night. And while there may be a wait on busier nights, it's always worth the wait. We were sat at the bar once and were very well taken care of by our bartender, Nikola. It was a Sunday night, so it wasn't terribly busy. We chatted up a storm and he was able to create some drinks off the menu just for fun (on request). He also made my BF and me a couple of drinks to celebrate our anniversary too.

It was dark when we entered the coffee shop but an ajar door gave way to the bar. The decor is a homage to the works of Nikola Tesla, which can be seen in the subtle electric theme throughout the space and the naming of the cocktails. The space isn't too large - the bar and stools take up most of the space but they also have some booths/tables. The place looks great. The cocktail menu is very creative - I got one of their seasonal mixes that was actually two drinks in one. The main cocktail was meant to be sipped first and they provided a small glass of beer to be sipped after. The name escapes me but it was very good. Since we had cocktails at dinner, we only stayed for one round. Service was good, and overall I enjoyed my time at Patent Pending. I would definitely return to explore more of their menu.

As I walked in and saw just how swanky this place is I panicked - there was no way we could just walk in here without a reservation, right? But the hostess was, thankfully, so down to earth. I was straight up like hey I totally messed up and thought we could just walk in here, she was like you know what, let me see what we have. Lo and behold, she did have a table for us - as long as we were out in an hour and a half, which was just the right amount of time. Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF. The cocktail menu is incredible -- and incredibly pricey, but truly worth it. I ordered the Valentino which was strong and sweet, really well made.

The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

We walked in without a reservation around 6:20 p.m., and they were able to accommodate us at a shared table until 7:15. The menu surprised me a bit. Since I associated the address with Eleven Madison Park, I wasn't expecting to see items like wings stuffed with sausage, which were done in partnership with Jungsik. We ordered those along with the mushroom burger and asked them to cut the burger in half for us. The cocktail menu was creative and a little intimidating, with unconventional ingredients like cream cheese and green curry. I went with a fruity Hendrick's-based drink, and my friend ordered the spicy green curry martini. Both were good. Mine didn't taste very strong, but it also wasn't overly sweet because there was enough bitterness to balance it out. The green curry martini was more adventurous but still worked. Service was mixed. There was a woman standing near us, so we tried ordering food with her, but she seemed hesitant to come over. Maybe she wasn't a server or was newer. For drinks, she brought over someone more seasoned, who quickly helped guide us based on our preferred taste profiles. Her suggestions were very good. The mushroom burger was the highlight for me. It was a little salty, but the crispy mushroom and soft bun were a great combination. I honestly wished I had more than half. The wings were okay. They were crispy on the outside and juicy inside, but coated in a Dorito-like powder that made them very messy. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'd come back, especially for the mushroom burger.
