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.

Steak and potatoes

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!

Bread pudding
Christina L.

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

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.

Beautiful aesthetic

We came here after seeing our fave show Maybe Happy Ending! Lucky to get a 5pm Rez! Loved everything we got! Strawberry Mojito was strong, tasty, and had a fun blinking light inside. Brussel sprouts were crispy and delicious. Soy garlic chicken wings were magical, crunchy outside and tender inside! Accompanied by spicy kimchi radish. Berkshire kimchi fried rice had amazing crunchy quinoa but wish it had more Berkshire pork. I struggled to find pork. Service was attentive and Victor our service was excellent. Beautiful ambiance with nice lighting and friendly crowd.

Steak and Potatoes
Katrina D.

The dishes here are exceptional and definitely very thought out and put together. Flavors were really good overall but I will say this was expensive for the small portions. Just talking food wise though - the pork belly was very tender and I love the sauce it came with. It paired very nicely and balanced with the radish! The tuna tartar was also really good and mixing all the sauces together with the chips was nice! The best price vs portion ratio imo was the steak and potatoes. The meat was very tender and the sauce on top complimented the savoriness and richness of it and helped it taste refreshing. Potatoes were also very crispy! The service was great and had a nice ambiance inside.

Everything seasoning Tteokbokki
Roberto G.

I'm not usually a fan of coming into midtown, but we wanted to have some dinner prior to seeing a show, so decided to try this interesting korean-fusion tapas place. We arrived as the restaurant opened since our reservation was at 5. We were seated immediately without any issues. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable on the menu. The inside of the restaurant was very modern looking and inviting, perfect for a date night. It is a tapas restaurant, probably should order 2-3 dishes per person given the size of the plates. Did not try any of their cocktails but would seriously consider it if I am back here again as they did look delicious - Corn ribs - really delicious, perfect spice with great saltiness from the cotija. Also, who would have thought that corn puree would be a thing, very delicious. - Mandu - it was good, very rich, broth, and while delicious felt like it needed a little acid to cut through it - everything seasoning tteokbokki - very interesting concept, very heavy on the cheese but solid flavor - Spicy chicken - not that spicy, it was okay, but other dishes were definitely better. - Sesame bread pudding - this was a great way to end the meal, really tasty sesame flavor combined with a rich fluffy bread pudding, absolutely recommend. Overall - Solid option for a meal in midtown if you are going to a show in the evening.

Brussels Sprouts were delicious!
Edward K.

My wife and I were in the city for a 3 p.m. show and I found Gurume on Yelp for afterwards. It's the perfect type of restaurant in my opinion, sharing small plates is a great experience. We were seated immediately for a 6 p.m. reservation. Each and every staff member we encountered was excellent! Our waitress was patient and gave great recommendations. We decided on 6 small plates and my wife added a couple of glasses of Pinot Noir. The soy garlic wings were some of the best we've had, texturally perfect! Couldn't imagine that they managed to be light and were perfectly sauced. Yellowtail ceviche, kimchi fried rice, steak and potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and oyster mushroom tacos rounded out our choices and were all delicious. Ambiance was excellent. Food was served at optimal temperature. Upon departure, a pleasant host asked us about our experience and genuinely cared. Truly a well run business.

Though I have many, many restaurants bookmarked in the Theater District, I do not go out of my way to dine in the area because it is pretty much a madhouse 24/7. I don't see broadway shows too often these days because they have become wildly expensive in recent years, but when I used to go more frequently I remember merely tolerating pre-show fare rather than appreciating it as its own experience. Fast forward to present day, which presents a culinary landscape with far more intrigue than years past. Gurumé certainly reflects this shift, as the concept could easily fare well in other neighborhoods. Gurumé offers an impressive array of Korean tapas, with options that will satisfying just about any taste and dietary preference/restriction. Add in super friendly staff and efficient service and you've got yourself a winning restaurant. We came here at around 9:15pm on a Wednesday night after seeing a 7:30pm show in the area that was a tight 80 minutes, no intermission. That meant that when arrived, there were only a couple of other parties in the restaurant given that pre-show diners had long since left and most post-show diners would not yet be out of their respective theaters. So the space was pretty empty for the first half of our meal (great for service, not as much for vibes), until the late dinner crowd began filing in. Overall, the space is relatively casual and feels warm and inviting. And, importantly, it does not feel tired or overrun by hoards of theatergoers and tourists, despite its proximity to Broadway. We got cocktails to start, taking advantage of their soju-forward cocktail menu. I got the Gam Gyul (Soju, Dry Vermouth, Citrus, Yuzu), a citrus-forward, gimlet-style drink that was very well-balanced. My partner and I then split a bottle of the Seoul Night soju, which was clean and crisp with subtle fruit notes. Food-wise, we tried to sample a little bit of everything without over-ordering, which is always a delicate balance. All small plates, though of course some are more filling than others. They recommend 2-3 dishes per person which I'd agree is a good approach. Across the board, the food was rich and flavorful, and had a lot going on while still being edited enough. Eats, below: Brussel Sprouts w/ Yuja Glaze, Chili Dust: A+ Some citrus, some spice, and tons of flavor. This is a powerhouse dish and a total no-brainer. Grilled Broccolini w/ Burnt Chili Doenjang, Tzatziki, Toasted Perilla Powder: A Another super flavorful dish with so much going on in the flavor profile. Herbal notes, smoky notes, spicy notes, with the tzatziki to smooth it all out. Tuna Tartar w/ Yellowfin Tuna, Citrus Shallot Cucumber, Crispy Sunchoke Chips, Fresh Wasabi: A+ A great complement to the warm dishes. Beautifully presented, bright and fresh, great combo of textures. Steak and Potatoes w/ Prime Galbi Flat Iron Steak, Crispy Confit Potatoes, Fermented Chimichurri: A+ Wow, there is a clear reason why this dish is lauded across platforms. I'm not even a steak person but this was outstanding. The steak was so juicy and flavorful and the chimichurri added a punchiness to the bite. The potatoes were heavenly, enough said. Jjambong Gambas w/ Beurre Blanc Colossal Shrimp, Spicy Seafood Foam Sauce, Chili Oil): A The steak was a hard act to follow so we were slightly less impressed with this, but this is all relative because it was still excellent. A completely unique preparation though I could've done with a tiny bit more spice. Beurre blanc is going to to even everything out, so it ended up being just a little spicy, mostly balanced, but I am a spice fiend and wanted more. A minor note for a very good dish.

Thyme used to be a fun, charming spot that I genuinely enjoyed visiting and bringing out-of-town…read morefriends to. I was warmly greeted by the gentleman at the door (5 service there), which set a great first impression. However, as soon as I walked downstairs, it felt like the space had lost its speakeasy vibe. I was seated right near the stairs and could feel cold air from outside every time the door opened, which made the experience uncomfortable. I was also surprised to see how much the cocktail menu had been reduced. When I asked about it, the response was that "the place changed a lot." That's fair -- places evolve -- but instead of highlighting the improvements or new strengths, the explanation focused negatively on what the bar used to be. As someone who really enjoyed the former version, that wasn't reassuring. Unfortunately, the drinks themselves didn't make up for it. One of the two cocktails was simply not good. No one came back to check on the drinks, and when I asked for the check after about 20 minutes, there was no acknowledgment that I had barely touched mine or any inquiry about my experience. Overall, a place I once enjoyed and recommended now feels more like a standard dive bar where " Mixologist " were replaced by bartender and were fun cool looking and tasty drinks were replaced by " less complex cocktail ", lacking the warmth and attention to detail that once made it special.

My expectations were high for my first NYC speakeasy. TLDR version - disappointing and not planning…read moreto return. Easy to find if you know what you're looking for, if you arrive right at 5pm on a cold weeknight in the winter, you'll easily find a table or seat at the bar. Very cute space, cozy like everyone says, but nothing mind blowing. Music is moderately loud. The menu in early February still included their winter holiday cocktails. I was more interested in the apple sage house-made fermented soda, and it was pretty good-large glass, flavorful and not too sweet. My friend enjoyed her pomegranate version. The space started to fill up at around 5:30. Service was polite when you could get it, but generally very inattentive, even before it got busy. It honestly didn't feel too different from anu other very nice NYC bar, in terms of menu selection, prices, ambiance and service. Maybe that's standard for NYC speakeasies, but the places I frequented in other cities were more fun and felt more worth the price. I'll still give another NYC spot a try, but not coming back to Thyme.

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.

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.

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!

It somehow manages to feel both refined and relaxed at the same time. The kind of place where you half expect to spot Hemingway in the corner pretending not to eavesdrop. We started with half a dozen oysters, which were fresh, briny, and exactly what you want with serious cocktails. Crisp, clean, gone in about three minutes. For drinks, we ordered the Smoke Show and the King Tusk. The Smoke Show was beautifully balanced. The Grey Goose vodka and Dolin Dry gave it that classic martini backbone, but the fino sherry and brine added depth. The smoked olive oil and blue cheese olive brought just enough savory drama without overpowering the glass. It was complex but not fussy. The King Tusk leaned more aromatic and layered. The vermouths gave it richness, while the Buddha's Hand and osmanthus flower added subtle citrus and floral notes that lingered in a really elegant way. It felt like a cocktail designed to be savored slowly. The music fit the mood perfectly, not too loud, just enough to give the room energy without killing conversation. Overall, it's a great spot if you want elevated drinks in a space that feels transportive without being pretentious. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm in the mood for a refined, slightly cinematic night out in Flatiron.
