This is a nice place fora little different experience. The food was very tasty and the four of us all had different dishes. We all gave it a thumbs up. read more

Apple cider mule - excellent Limoncello cake - excellent Bimbap - excellent Eaten there 3 times - it was excellent 3 times read more

Definitely would not recommend. Know multiple people who have had a dog - shit experience here due to multiple different issues . Also, owner Terry Kim is wildly unprofessional. To everyone, over and above just customers and patrons who visit her businesses. read more

The service was great and timely. Some of the decor inside is over the top, but some of it is cute. The food was good, but the menu is so large that I wonder if a smaller menu would allow the food offered to be great. There's better sushi in the area, but I'd go back and try something else. read more

Service was very, very slow. Waited 15 minutes for a server to come to table. Food order took 15-20 minutes Unable to refill water glasses Main course were very good. Dessert that came with fixed menu dinner was tiramisu. It came out frozen. read more

Lots of variety which is nice when you don't really know what you're craving. Service is always good (though went during restaurant week and weren't offered the restaurant week menu so web. I overheard another table get it I was a little peeved). Food always tastes fresh and I like the variety. With having such a wide menu of offerings though, nothing seems to have the "umph" factor to push it to be something "special". Have visited twice but neither dish or any of the appetizers I've had have made me think "this is it, can't get this anywhere else" so not really a 5 star for me. The bread offered when seated is really good though, way above average. They should sell it :) read more

Passport Bistro & Cafe is much nicer in person than expected! Henry assisted me with my takeout order and is extremely hospitable & patient. i ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and it was so good! it came with fries that were really great too - i'm not a big fries person and i loved them. edit: in person menu is much more extensive than what's listed online. ambiance: 5/5 food: 5/5 drinks: n/a service: 5/5 Passport Bistro & Cafe: 5/5 read more

Decided to try and glad we did. Beautiful ambiance. Went with group of four and yes we were overwhelmed by the menu choices haha but the food was good and presentation was very nice. Nice bread to start on cute little plates. We shared an app and then I had orange chicken - great flavor. Friend had ramen. Service was good and overall positive experience. We would go back - only thing missing was the people- only a few tables full so go try it! Nice addition to Beverly! read more

Amazing atmosphere. Great bread service. Menu huge which is often a bad sign. However, the sirloin au poivre with French fries I got was amazing. Tender. Wonderful flavors. Just perfectly slightly spicy. Hidden Gem! I'll be back soon. read more

Five of us had lunch there, 9/27/25. The menu is enormous, and we did take a while to choose among so many options. Interesting variations. Our server was such a sweet young fellow, very funny, and very helpful. He was by himself at the front of the restaurant. Four of us received our meals within 15 minutes or so. But mine.... the young man came back another 10 minutes and said that the kitchen informed him that, for my order, they didn't have enough of an esssential ingredient. About 25 minutes had now passed since we ordered. I did receive my new order, but my friends were well finished before I was. I add another 7 minutes to my wait time, not bad at all, but the total wait for my was 25 + 15 + 7 minutes. Think I was pleased? The fault did not lie with our server. He was very good, and his humor and attentiveness made a difference. The fault lies, obviously, in the kitchen. read more

I ordered a Shrimp Scampi meal for my husband through DoorDash this evening. After a 30-minute delivery delay, I found the meal in the cold outside the front door, despite my explicit instructions to deliver it to a more accessible door off of my porch. My husband was quite hungry by this time!. When I saw the small, very light box in the bag, I knew it was a rather scant, childsized almost, portion. I looked to see if there was any fresh bread or a roll in the bag, but there was not! I would have questioned it right away, but my husband was starved, so I slid the contents of the box on his plate, and he soon noticed there were NO SHRIMP in the Shrimp Scampi -- not a one! This was a totally UNACCEPTABLE situation. (I later discovered I could not notify Door Dash online, since I had no pictures of the missing shrimp and serving size, thus I decided to write my review!) read more

Great food and atmosphere. Owners are generous to the community. That is just a bonus on top.

I really want this place to succeed. The restaurant's concept is creative, the renovation is beautiful and the menu is comprehensive. Think Cheesecake Factory long, but better. Admittedly, I was confused walking in. We thought we were walking into a Vietnamese Pho Restaurant, but upon arrival we learned Passport came in and also offered Pho and Raymen, so we said why not. The staff was really nice and trying hard, so I give them a ton of credit. So why not 5 stars and only 3? Its' friday night and they just didn't have enough staff in the front or the back of the house. Everything just took too long. The greeting, the ordering, the appetizer, the entrees. Help is hard to find, I get it. We ordered 3 entrees. 2 came out 15 minutes apart, and the 3rd never made it to the table. We asked that they just make it to-go, which they did. The food that did arrive was pretty good, but you've got to land the whole experience and tonight was not the night. I will give it a few months and try again. read more

Pretty good restaurant. Chicken wings were really good and the fried rice. Bi bim pap was ok I like the stone pot and the sizzle when it comes to that but this one was served in a dish and colder. You order through the app on the table and it's super easy to checkout. Place is kinda small and can fill up quick. The inside is cute tho for a date night. Portion sizes were pretty good overall I'd come back here read more

I hate to write such a terrible review but this was up there with the worst of all time. Dined in tonight for unlimited sushi. We were the only people there. Ordered a white sangria and got a cup of what tasted like orange juice. Ordered a coke. Got a Pepsi, at least tell me. Asked the waitress what Kim bap is and she told us she's not Asian and doesn't know. Ordered some sushi and the smell of the fish was equally as bad as the taste. They do notify you they charge for leftovers but it was clear we didn't like our meal. The waitress told us she was going to charge us so we told her we didn't like it. She said we would have to talk to the manager. After 20 minutes no one came over but waitress came back and said the chef trained in Japan and we just don't like her style. We ordered Oreo mouse and got a cake. We ordered cheesecake and it was frozen. Finally a woman who I assume is the manager came over and again told us again that we don't like her style. There's 3 dead spiders in the bathroom. Paid $165 for the worst meal ever. read more

excellent menu. crappy service! excellent menu. crappy service! excellent menu. crappy service! excellent menu. crappy service!

We totally came here thinking this restaurant was another Korean place, but it was a happy accident. The food was very good, but came out slow. I'm unsure if that was because there were eight of us, or what we ordered, or the time of night, that everything took a while to cook because of quality, or what. It was slow. Would happily come again (if I had the time). read more

Food was delicious! The young waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and was able to answer our questions. Definitely will go back again.

Great food and service I only had the California Roll but they have so many unique food options that it's a must try. The atmosphere is amazing first class decor and white tablecloths it's a must see as well as try!! read more

Such a fantastic place to add to the North Shore food scene! A Korean restaurant just makes sense in our beloved fishing village Gloucester. We ordered the Tteokbokki extra spicy. It's a street-food level dish but they made it extra fancy! The rice cake texture is phenomenal ! Make sure you add the Ramyun noodle! The Bulgogi waffle fries is very good. And the fried chicken, my man. This is not a fried chicken joint but I will totally comeback just for the fried chicken. Service is caring and family vibe all around as this is a family owned and operated restaurants by a local Korean family. How can one not love this place! ? read more

This meal was very yummy. Corn dogs rolled in sugar, crispy fried dumplings and Korean style meat and rice dishes. The one kid working was friendly even when the place got swamped. Dining room was comfortable, definitely doable in a wheel chair which is a plus. Bathroom could've been cleaner but had appropriate handrails and space and as of this writing is gender neutral. read more

Today I ordered a potato and cheese corn dog and halfway through it started to smell fishy and I noticed a white fish smelling like sausage. I think it would be really important to note that it comes with a fish sausage on the menu incase of allergies. I think the people who work there are very friendly, the only other thing I've ordered is the kimchi tacos, not my favorite, they were served on hard corn tortilla shells that should have been cooked first. The filling was great but would be better served on soft heated corn tortillas. I think once they workout all the kinks everything will be great. I would go back again. read more

Food is fantastic and service is great. A wonderful family owned small business. I'd recommend the fried chicken wings and 'Bowl Bop', but all the food looked great. Great for pick up. read more

Really good food, a little bit expensive but they are family owned and operated and the food is delicious.

Went Friday night. Had the Bibimbap. Such amazing flavors served in a hot stone bowl. I will be back soon and highly recommend eating there for this serving method makes the rice crispy. read more

Our group of five, from Arizona, Colorado, Vermont and Denmark, found out about Gangnam from a brochure in the hotel lobby. It was a little difficult to locate after dark because the sign on the outside of the building was not illuminated, but once we found it we were delighted with the warm, intimate dining room and especially with our knowledgeable and attentive server. All of our meals were delicious and the service was exceptional. Highly recommended. read more

Korean food in Gloucester! Finally! Ordered the corn dog, short rib bowl bap, and the bulgogi kimchi fried rice. AMAZING food and flavors. The online ordering was a breeze and the customer service was fantastic. Can't wait to try the fried chicken, the crispy Korean pancake, and the ramyun. read more

Bring your phone as there are no menus. Be sure you have and can use the QR app. I wasn't interested in a digital meal so I left.

Food was pretty good - large bowl for a decent price. Service was not great and dining area/bathroom weren't super clean so if we return would probably just be for takeout! read more

My dietary restrictions are such that I can really only eat the chicken dishes, but they're EXCELLENT! And they threw in an extra corn dog today and my son was THRILLED! read more

Awesome soft tofu stew. I get it with beef. Great value at $15. The fried chicken is also excellent. So happy a restaurant like this is in Gloucester. We really need it. read more

We had a hankering for Korean while we were in the area and found this place. Quite an extensive menu of Korean options. Much more than shown in the pics of the menu on the wall. They all looked good. Japchae had the added draw of truffle oil. That was the best Japchae I've ever had! The chicken in sweet/spicy sauce was good too. Not too spicy. read more

The food is delicious! I ordered the bulgogi, some kimchi, and an order of wings. I thought it was all delicious. I think the restaurant is still finding itself, a bit--a few items were out of stock, but I had no issue finding another item that interested me. also, the cook (owner?) is so kind and even came to our table when my companion didn't enjoy her dish as much. I think this place is great--I was a bit surprised at the white tablecloths, as it seems a bit fancy for the venue, but I rolled with it. I hope it becomes a mainstay of Gloucester stops. To the owners: Please stay here a long time, we love you read more

We had the worst experience ever. Not only was the service bad but the food was worse. My family all had food poisoning and I don't think they fully cook their food. Beware it's not authentic although they say it is. Poor attitude when we brought this to their attention they argued with our party. Never again. read more

I love this Korean restaurant. One of my favorite Korean dishes is Kimbab, and theirs is fabulous. Their Kimchi is expensive but authentic - highly recommended. The mandu is great, as is the Dak Galbi. read more

Got the Bimibap. Very tasty and good size portion. The kimchi was very good. I got there early and the entrance was busy. I waited in my car and they brought the order to me in the pouring rain. read more

So my son and I finally got to stop in here. Staff is very nice and accommodating. I do think they need to figure out what they want to do with the place. It's a mash of take out and then tables with table clothes for fine dining. Not a great vibe but they will get there! Food was really really good. We loved the wings, crunchy and tasty. My son got a noodle dish I forgot the name but it was amazing. We will be back for sure. 4 stars for great people there and solid tasty food. Enjoy! read more

Such flavorful food with amazing textures. Very friendly service. My favorite restaurant on Cape Ann

Gangnam Gloucester is exceptional. It is exactly the kind of restaurant my wife and I look for. Family run and with true passion and love going into the dishes. We started eating here a few months ago and they did not have the seating and dishes set up. Now there is fresh paint, linen tablecloths and new chairs. It is comfortable, quiet, unique and above all delicious. I encourage locals to make it a regular stop. We need to support local businesses like this! Also, a big thank you to Henry who has been an excellent host... friendly and always with a smile. read more

If you have time to sit and relax listening to soft jazz at a virtual fireplace. This is a place you should consider. The Korean food is filling and tasty. Lots of spice levels to guide those with tender tummies. The owner/wait person was pleasant and attentive. We enjoyed our meal. read more
