The team behind Golden Diner has a new, dual-concept restaurant coming soon! After achieving national acclaim and recognition from various organizations and publications, including the James Beard Foundation, Food & Wine Magazine, The New Yorker, Vogue, and Resy, we’re excited to open two new concepts in Midtown Manhattan. Helmed by NY native and Korean American Chef-Owner Sam Yoo, this exciting project is located right next to the Rockefeller Center, in a space that can seat approximately 200 guests.

The space will house two concepts, separated by floors, serving quality Korean food to a global clientele. The ground floor houses an old-school Korean pub concept offering high-quality cocktails and novel bar foods. The lower level is a Korean raw bar and steakhouse concept offering classics with a Korean American twist.

We are searching for a General Manager to join our passionate team. This position will work closely with the Chef & Owner and lead our FOH team. This is a leadership role with immense room for growth, as we plan to open additional restaurant concepts.
