A cozy East Village wine bar with personable guidance, Portuguese-leaning wines, and Korean-Brazilian small plates; great vibes and service, food quality ranges from solid to mixed by dish.
Gomi Korean Wine Bar delivers solid neighborhood dining through exceptional service attentiveness and strong wine knowledge, with owner Rafael's personalized guidance a genuine highlight. Food quality shines on proven dishes like pao de queijo and pork belly, but inconsistent execution on items like the seafood pancake and coxinhas prevents a higher grade. The cozy intimate setting and happy hour value make it worth visiting for wine lovers seeking approachable Korean-Brazilian small plates.
One caveat: Some plates feel inconsistent (notably seafood pancake and coxinhas)
