    I went to Rome specifically to try it, I was too happy and satisfied. The staff was very kind and the owner was really a very serious and happy person. I drank soju, ate Bibimbap, kimchi and tteokbokki. My belly was about to explode but I was also so happy. The prices were great because the portions were also so plentiful. I would go back there every day if I could. Can i give 6 stars? XD

    We decided to check out this Korean restaurant in the middle of Rome. I gotta say, it did not disappoint. Some of the dishes were definitely different than what I expected but they were still very good. The seafood pancake was very eggy, which I'm not too familiar with. The spicy pork was really good. The soup was as I like it, and the kimchi fried rice was pretty solid but could've had a bit more kimchi to it. Their banchan was nice too - this kimchi was more spicy than fermented, if that's what you like. Overall great vibe. Thanks!

    I was in Rome for a week and had this for three days! Loved the restaurant so much I kept going back, everything tasted phenomenal and super comforting. The Gainn deobap was definitely my favourite, the pork is super tender and the sauce was very flavourful. Big shoutout to the kimchi as well, the best I’ve ever had! I always asked for a side of kimchi and they were super kind everytime, the owners are also very welcoming and friendly. Will always visit when in Rome❤️

    Incredible food and a nice change from all the pizza and pasta. A lot of flavours and definitely a place I need to visit at least one more time before heading home.

    Main courses with the traditional side dishes are very tasty, peculiar, and entertaining. The tea was delicate and appropriate to match the strong flavours, altough I would have preferred to be told which kind of tea it was. Speaking of service, it was a bit incomplete, since I had to ask what was in the side dishes as well. The location is not as polished as I would have hoped (very clean and simple, but too plain in my opinion). However, we had a really nice experience, we will come back! Definitely recommended :)

    After earing 5 days of Italian food, we needed a change and what a find, The food at Gainn is delicious, the service was great, the price was gokd value for money and the alcohol was deceptively good at getting you tipsy. I highly recommend. Think I have found my favourite cuisine

    We are visiting from Los Angeles and this place is as good as some of the best Korean restaurants in L.A. (and we have MANY). The lady boss sat us down right away even though we didn't have a reservation (Michelin sign on the door). She was very friendly, and so was the staff. Food came quickly with traditional side dishes. A very enjoyable experience. I was very surprised by the negative reviews found here. We did not feel we were mistreated at all. Highly recommend to those who want to eat something different than pizza and spaghetti!

    My family and I really enjoyed the food. The owner and the waiters are very friendly, attentive and helpful. Place was very tidy, clean and neat. Authentic Korean food. Every single dish was good! Highly recommended if you are looking to take a break from Italian food. 😊

    great korean food, in a hidden Rome. Friendly and nice staff, the food is very good and makes you feel like you're in Korea. For those who love Korean cuisine and are in Rome, it is a must-do

  • 5/5 Desiree C. 1 year ago on Google
    Comforting and authentic Korean cuisine! We had the Yangnyeom chicken, kimchi stew and bulgogi - everything was great! Noted that the restaurant also attained the Michelin guide.

  • 5/5 Hiu Kwan N. 1 year ago on Google
    After having several Italian meals and we finally wanted to have other dishes. We joined a local tour and this restaurant was near our drop off point. It’s a Michelin restaurant but not very high class. We loved the food as it’s spicy and just like the one we had in Korea. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Y C. 11 months ago on Google
    Real Korean food prepared by a professional chef. The interior is clean and modern. Close to termini but not a chaotic neighborhood. Frequented by local customers not just tourists. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Kellie W. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food and made a nice change midweek to all the pizza and pasta! Beautifully cooked and presented. Would love to go back again one day

  • 5/5 Aaron L. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing Korean food and good service. On the way out, realised it’s a Michelin guide restaurant. They should get a star!

  • 5/5 Mikaela W. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve never written a restaurant review. This restaurant is a true gem! The best restaurant I’ve been to! We will definitely return (maybe tomorrow haha).

  • 4/5 Augustine L. 1 year ago on Google
    Korea restaurant in the heart of Rome. Decent place with a variety of Korean dishes. Food is ok. Service is good.

  • 5/5 Gloria L. 2 years ago on Google
    Authentic Korean, deserves the Michelin star! Reasonable price, and all the dishes just so delicious! Special mention to the rice cake, perfect tenderness and amazing sauce!

  • 5/5 Alessandra C. 2 years ago on Google
    I found Gainn restaurant on the web while I was looking for a good Korean restaurant in Rome. I suddenly wanted to try it. The place is really clean and cozy and tables are well spaced (which is a benefit nowadays). Both the owners (a korean couple) and the waiters were really really kind and polite, service was super fast and all the dishes tasted super good (and some of them really spicy, but this is korean cuisine!). We tried tteokbokki, yangnyeom chicken, ojingeo bokkeum, twigim mandu, bulgogi deopbap and chicken deopbap. I really appreciate the variety of side dishes that go with the main ones. Chef Kim is really talented, well done! Last but not least, we also tried makgeolli (a korean alcoholic beverage made with rice) and I loved it! Price is extremely right bearing in mind that most of the products are imported, food quality, the skill in making the dishes and average prices near Termini station. I will come back for sure to try other dishes. Thank you for the experience - 감사합니다!
