Gamsung Pocha - Korean retro style pub + lobster sale — Restaurant in New York

These people are RACIST and RUDE. They are dismissive and disgusting people. I was rudely disregarded when I first entered the establishment. (Updated for clarity) I asked to use the restroom, at first they said no it’s only for customers. Understandable. When I asked if I could sit down and order something, I was told that I can’t order and they refused to give me a menu and it was clearly because I am black.

The woman who worked in the kitchen was kind enough to let me use the restroom (thank you!) but the woman who worked the front followed me to the back, yelled at me and said I wasn’t allowed to go to the bathroom. After being in the restroom for two minutes, she banged on the door and told me to get out. This woman was so rude and refused to look me in my eye. Why let me use the restroom if I’m just going to be berated and treated like a criminal by your employees.

I love seafood and would have gladly ordered some food. instead I was told no and felt unwelcome. Sad that there are still people who are RACIST in 2025.

Glad they didn’t let me order anything because I noticed they have roaches. Disgusting.

If you value your health and your peace of mind do not spend your hard earned money at this sorry excuse of...

Maine Ocean is smack in the middle of the block and you'll need to walk around/drive around the LIRR station to get to it. A nicely lit and clean atmosphere. Fresh lobster tanks on site and well maintained. I noticed the menu doesn't give much details so besides the sticker shock, know that the lobster per lb you select does include other seafood and corn and such. It's not literally one lobster. The other thing that's great, they provide cloth bibs not plastic. And sanitizer, wipes, refuse bucket, napkins and other utensils like chopsticks are all neatly placed on each table. Food: raw clams are so fresh, delivered from Maine. It was my favorite. I also had the lobster platter and it came with crab, steamed clams, baked scallops, corn, bread, and lemon. Complimentary seaweed salad, edamame and pickles accompany the dining experience. Also tried the lobster ramen, super simple, lobster and ramen with scallions, a fish cake here and there. But the overall dining experience was so hospitable. The waitress heard it was my friend's birthday so they put a ribbon on her lobster head and provided us with birthday plates and napkins. Even a hat! It was like an instant party! Too sweet of...

I went with my friends with high expectations after reading all the reviews. Upon entering, the place looked more like a dive despite being newly opened. However, I did not mind because I was there for the food. The oyster, which was recommended by the server, was terrific, so we eagerly waited for the rest. The food from the sushi bar was ok. Then, another 20 min after came the lobster fried rice. It was good. But the snow crab was not served. After everyone else had eaten and finally being able to flag down a server, they realized they had forgotten the order. When the crab was finally served, it was overcooked and rubbery. What's worse, the man, who I think was the owner, was barely apologetic. The other owner, maybe his wife, tried to offer us complimentary drinks, but the experience was already ruined. What's worse, they were not even busy! The food was okay but because of the horrible experience, it made the food feel less appealing. I hate writing bad reviews, but my friends and I, expecting a pleasant evening, were disappointed and left with a bad taste...
