Authentic Korean BBQ and homestyle classics in a tiny Montmartre spot with warm hospitality; book ahead and expect modest portions and occasional service variability.
Gomawo delivers excellent food quality with authentic Korean BBQ and stews that justify its strong reputation, supported by warm, attentive service that guides diners through traditions. However, inconsistent execution—occasional cold rice and reheated perceptions— and a cramped dining room prevent it from reaching grade A territory. The charming Montmartre location and loyal following make it a solid neighborhood favorite, but not a destination standout.
One caveat: Very compact dining room; can feel cramped and loud at peak times
