Gammeeok

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!

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.

We were looking for something to eat around midnight and were lucky to come across this place as it is open 24 hours. It was warm and safe and our server, William, was very accommodating and answered all of our questions. We ordered bibimbap and seafood pancake, they were both delicious! We highly recommend this place!

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.

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.. 🙂‍↔️
