Gayeon

I was invited to an after-party and decided to check this place out. The modern Asian-inspired decor created a great atmosphere, and the seafood dishes were fresh and delicious. While the meat could have been cooked a bit better, I highly recommend the fish! Overall, I left feeling satisfied.

I recently hosted my luncheon bridal shower at Gayeon, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! Dina was incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process and paid close attention to every detail I requested. She allowed us to decorate the room as we liked, and we were able to arrive early and stay late for setup and cleanup, which made the day so much easier. The food was delicious and perfectly timed, with a mix of family-style and individual plates that catered to all of our guests, even those unfamiliar with Korean cuisine. We started with the seafood pancake and chicken gangjung as appetizers, and everyone absolutely loved them—they were a big hit! One standout was the bibimbap, which came with the rice in individual bowls, while the toppings and barbecue (bulgolgi) were served family style, allowing everyone to customize their dish easily. The service was friendly, attentive, and efficient, making sure everyone felt welcome. We were in the back room, which was spacious enough to comfortably fit our 50 guests, and with two additional 4-person tables empty, the space could have accommodated up to 58 people. The restaurant was also very accommodating with high chairs, making it easier for families with young children. I highly recommend Gayeon for anyone planning a larger party, engagement party, bridal shower or baby shower, especially if you want to celebrate with delicious Korean food. The team goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better venue for my special day!

We came here for a ladies dinner night and it was fantastic! Big fans of the specialty cocktails. Definitely start off with the calamari salad, which was delicious and had the right amount of spiciness. They beautifully presented the meats for the Korean bbq and made sure to recommend which sauces and sides they should be paired with. Lastly, you need to save room for dessert. The textures from the chocolate, cookie, and nuts were so complimentary to the ice cream. Shoutout to the staff for being super friendly and patient as we asked about different items in the menu.

Every meal we ordered was amazing- a true dining experience to be wow’d by each round. Staff made us feel very attended to. Dina, their manager, checked in on us and made sure we were taken care of throughout our night. Lychee cocktail was great! Calamari salad and Galbi Hot Stone Bowl were delicious!!

Specious and has a very nice interior design. The service was good. The food wasn't the best but not bad.

The location of this restaurant is the center of Koreatown. Because there are activities today, we drive very hard. However, I am very happy that although it is my first time to come here, the decoration of this restaurant is really high-end. It is a pleasure to sit in the restaurant and eat! The biggest headache when going to a restaurant is to go to the bathroom. The bathroom in this restaurant is a separate bathroom for personal use. That is to say, you won't share a bathroom with others at the same time. You have your own independent space. I think their food is OK. You can give 4.5 stars here. It should be a good place for you to invite your friends to experience Korean food. I think their wine is also a very good coffee. It's a pleasure if you can sit here for a while, so I recommend you to come to this place.

The meat was nicely medium-rare and charred, just almost entirely bland, and no dipping sauce to go with it. The shrimp was just ok, only the presentation was impressive. Overall we had a nice experience but food definitely wasn’t exceptional

This is the most high brow Korean BBQ place I have ever been to. Considering BBQ originally was home fare, it's nice that it is now high brow enough for fine dining. Service and atmosphere certainly feel rich. The quality of the meat is top notch as well. Pregnant ladies can eat their streaks well done and not have it taste like cardboard. Large rooms at this location means it can host several private parties. However, it is pricey as another reviewer commented with other cheaper Korean BBQs nearby, this location is best served for special occasions.
