Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Very nice food and staff and a very good deal for the three course menu (16 EUR per person)."
"I would really recommend this restaurant. I went there a few weeks ago with my mother and sister, and we loved it so much we came back the next day. The ambiance is really relaxing, and the music fits very well. Most importantly, the food is amazing and the staff is so nice."
"Excellent service and authentic food, it has become my favourite Korean restaurant in Barcelona. The vibe is absolutely amazing, soft K-pop and old fashioned and elegant decor."
"It was our first time visiting this restaurant, and we were warmly welcomed, I'm quite sure it was the owners who greeted us. They were very respectful throughout our visit, even taking the time to repeat our order to make sure everything was correct. We ordered three amazing dishes: Dolsot Bibimbap, Japchae, and Dubukimchi. All of them were absolutely delicious, and we were very satisfied with our meal! When the food was served, the owners and staff kindly said, “Enjoy your food,” which was such a nice touch. From start to finish, we had a wonderful dining experience. They even thanked us and invited us to come again as we were leaving. A highly recommended place to eat! And we are definitely going back!"
"I discovered this restaurant back in January, and I’ve already been five times since—it's that good! Every visit has been a fantastic experience, and I know I’ll keep coming back. The food is consistently delicious and clearly made with high-quality, authentic ingredients. You can really taste the care in every dish. I’ve tried a range of items—from the soups to the BBQ, and even the desserts—and everything has been outstanding. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the service. The staff is always warm, polite, and genuinely attentive. They go out of their way to make sure you’re enjoying your meal and feel welcome. I couldn’t recommend this place more highly. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out!"
"Loved this place! Korean owned by the kindest couple! The food & atmosphere were very authentic. The food was so tasty! After traveling around Europe for the last 2 weeks, my family & I were craving some Korean food & this place definitely hit the spot. It felt like I was a family members house, the people were so welcoming & the dishes were to our liking & spice level !! I would highly recommend it if you are traveling in Barcelona & missing flavors of a good home cooked Korean meal!!"
"We stopped by for a weekday lunch and were pleasantly surprised by how good their *menu del día* is. For just €14.90, you get a full three-course Korean meal plus a drink, it’s honestly one of the best value lunches we’ve found in the area. The food is not only affordable but also incredibly authentic. From the side dishes to the main courses, everything tasted just like what you’d find in South Korea. The portions are very generous too, we always leave completely full and satisfied. If you’re craving real Korean food at a great price, this spot is a must-visit. Highly recommended!"
"This place has become our Korean comfort food restaurant. My favorite is the galbi bbq and kimbap. Our son loves bulgogi and my husband enjoys dolsot bibinbap and tofu kimchi, and we order all the menus in rotation. The Kim family welcomes our son and us with open arms and always has a smile on their face. I highly recommend Gayagum as an authentic Korean restaurant where you get the true taste of Korean cuisine and ‘jung’ K-warmthness, as well. Also, their coffee is not to miss!"
