I've been to this place twice for dinner (about 1.5 years apart) and my experience both times have been great. The owner was very friendly and knowledgeable and passionate about wines.
For drinks we had this mango moscato and it was fantastic. I couldn't drink enough of it. We tried a red that was introduced to us and while I'm not big on red wine, the one the owner had us try was very good as well.
As for food, we had the thin cut beef and spicy pork, both gomi style (which adds cheese and iirc rice noodle). They were both really good. The spicy pork was not as spicy as other Korean dishes I've had at other restaurants, which I for one appreciate.
It's strange that this place was practically empty both times I've gone for dinner. The food is delicious, the wine selection is extensive, and the owner was very welcoming and accommodating. Definitely an underrated place. -

My friend and I ended up here after trying to dine at Thursday Kitchen. The area has a plethora of Korean fusion places. So Gomi is really just a restaurant with good wine and different plates that consist of Brazilian and Korean dishes. No actual melding.
So the layout almost reminds me of a Izakaya and the tables are cool with the slight organic charm. The bar has lots of cool selections. However, I didn't like how my friend and I were seated at the end of a huge table that was a big ruckus. It made it difficult to have a conversation.
The wine selection is the highlight. I originally wanted to order the St. Tropez rose, but was disappointed told they were out. The owner later brought another rose from Provence that was very nice. For small bites we ordered the pao de quejo, the cheese plate, and the beef brisket wraps. The cheeses were alright, the pao de quejo was good, but the beef brisket wrap was so uncomfortably hard to chew and my jaw did quite a workout. I felt as if they were small bites for a homo sapien. No flavour or tender bites. Also I wish there could have been some sort of sauce applied to complement the beef.
All in all, my curiosity has subsided and in the future I would only come back for their wine selection or brunch I've heard other yelpers mention. The waitress who served us could also have had more tact instead of interrupting our conversation. My rating is a 3.5. -

I don't know why this place was so empty when I went with my friend for brunch on a Saturday, but their brunch deals are amazing! $10 for a mimosa (or coffee) + entree, which are mainly Korean dishes or Korean fusion. They had a mango + prosecco drink today as another option instead of a mimosa (also included in the $10 deal) that was great too.
My only comment is that the food was a little underseasoned-I got the bulgogi, and it could have used more salt or soy sauce in its marinade. Otherwise, the portion size was good for lunch and the mango mimosa was great! -

I live a couple blocks from the restaurant and hasn't been in so I stopped by for brunch on a Saturday afternoon. Really friendly server who was doing his best to handle all the tables on his own. I ordered the gyoza which was small and cute and pretty good. Though I was charged more for them than what the menu stated which was a little annoying. I also had the Kalbi which is their short rib with onions. Unfortunately it was very overcooked, tough and inedible. And I also had the Pao de Queijo which was decent. I had high hopes for this place but unfortunately it wasn't the best experience.

Great value for price! $10 brunch specials (highly recommend the spicy pork belly) that comes with a free mimosa
If you want to ~~splurge~~, highly recommend the yuca bread as a side!!
