The story
Dons Bogam brings the traditions of Korean BBQ and classic Korean cuisine to a striking space at 17 East 32nd Street. The restaurant’s design sets it apart: floor-level seating, tabletop grills built into the tables, and an open kitchen where guests can watch the chef at work. It’s an immersive setting that makes the meal feel both intimate and theatrical.
The menu centers on beautifully prepared Korean dishes. Standouts include Galbi (marinated short ribs), Bulgogi (thinly sliced beef served with glass noodles and vegetables), and Bibimbap (steamed rice topped with seasoned vegetables and Korean chili paste). For lunch, Monday through Friday, a special menu runs from 11:30 am to 3:30 pm, offering a curated selection of these same traditional specialties. The drink list is extensive, with fine wines, spirits, sake, and soju designed to complement the bold flavors of the food.
Dons Bogam’s commitment to quality and atmosphere has earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026. The award reflects the precision of the cooking and the thoughtful hospitality that define the experience. Whether you come for the Korean BBQ, the wine, or the warmth of the room, the restaurant delivers a meal that feels both authentic and refined.
