Morgan Carter reviews Gui Steakhouse, a new Korean steakhouse in NYC's Theater District that fuses classic steakhouse fare with Korean heritage, earning a 4-star rating.
Gui Steakhouse offers a sophisticated fusion of Korean and classic steakhouse fare, helmed by a Michelin-starred chef. The upscale, two-story establishment boasts a cocktail bar and a main dining room, with a notable display of A5 Wagyu beef upon entry. Guests can expect refined dishes like the Wagyu Caviar Katsu Sando and the tender Gui Cut prime rib, complemented by flavorful sides and a memorable dessert selection.
This Korean steakhouse is celebrated for its high-quality A5 Wagyu beef, showcased in dishes like the 'Gui Cut' prime rib and the viral Wagyu Caviar Katsu Sando. While most dishes, including filet mignon tartare, kimchi fried rice, and a decadent black and white mousse dessert, receive high praise, some reviews suggest that the fusion sauces can be hit-or-miss and that not all side dishes or appetizers consistently meet expectations.
"The A5 Wagyu Caviar Katsu Sando is a must-try, often described as 'a bite of heaven' and a viral sensation. The 'Gui Cut' prime rib is also highly recommended for its tenderness and flavor, as is the black and white mousse for dessert."
Customers generally have a very positive sentiment, praising the upscale ambiance and the high quality of the Korean-infused steak dishes. There are occasional criticisms regarding the fusion concept's execution and the value proposition of certain items.
Important Note
While many dishes are highly praised, one reviewer found the fusion sauces to be unsuccessful and suggested that better steakhouse options might be available in the vicinity. The ambiance was also noted as a potential drawback for some.
