Gganbu Korean Restaurant

Gganbu: Cozy, Quirky, and Authentic (But Be Patient) Gganbu offers a cozy and quirky dining experience, with unique decor, especially in the restroom. The staff were incredibly friendly and happy, making for a welcoming atmosphere. While the food took a bit longer than expected to arrive, the portion sizes were generous. The flavors were authentic and delicious, providing a true taste of Korean cuisine. The price point may seem a bit high, but considering the location and the quality of the food, I believe it's justifiable. Vegetarian Options: As a vegetarian, I appreciated that the staff were knowledgeable about dietary restrictions and were happy to adapt dishes to suit my needs. Gganbu is a worthwhile destination for those seeking an authentic Korean dining experience. While the wait times can be a bit longer, the delicious food, friendly service, and unique ambiance make it a memorable experience. l'd recommend: Making a reservation in advance, especially during peak hours. Inquiring about any vegetarian or dietary restrictions when making your reservation.

Love the food, had one of the best boiled pork belly with spicy japchae in Auckland. The shared dishes was amazing, especially with some beer or rice. It is more on the pricier side though. Will go back again. Good for a big party setting also. Make sure to book ahead tho, can get very busy.

Everything we have here tasted very delicious! 5 of us enjoyed the dinner very much on a weekday. Highly recommend the crazy potato chickens and rose tteokbokki !! The chef made a less spicy option for me due to my pregnancy😊 The flavour is very rich and creamy. The chickens are so crunchy outside and juicy inside 👍🏻 everything taste so fresh and yummy!

⭐ Exceptional Korean BBQ with a Wide Variety of Delicious Dishes! If you’re looking for an authentic Korean BBQ experience, I highly recommend this place! The food here is consistently excellent, with a great variety of options that will satisfy anyone’s cravings. First, the marinated meats are a standout feature. Most of the meats come pre-seasoned, which means they are packed with flavor and perfect for grilling. The taste is authentic and caters to those who love rich, bold flavors typical of Korean BBQ. The quality of the meat is top-notch, and it’s clear they use fresh ingredients. In addition to the BBQ, there are several other delicious options that really enhance the dining experience. They offer sushi, canned fruits, and various sweet treats that provide a refreshing contrast to the savory meats. The hot dishes are also fantastic, and the salad bar surprised me with its freshness and variety. It’s definitely a place where you can enjoy a well-rounded meal, not just great BBQ. The overall atmosphere of the restaurant is cozy and inviting, and the service is friendly and attentive. Whether you’re a fan of Korean BBQ or just love flavorful, high-quality food, this place is a must-try. I will definitely be coming back for more! Great value for the price and an overall fantastic dining experience.

Must go Korean restaurant place in Auckland! Big portion, very delicious food, not cheap, but affordable price. Closing quite early as well, but it's really good to have a meal.
