Seocho-gu — home to Seoul's arts corridor, the Supreme Court, and upscale residential areas — has a refined dining culture to match its address. Garosugil in Seocho is particularly known for its café-lined tree canopy street. Restaurants here tend toward the polished and premium, often with outdoor terraces and wine lists to match.
One of the best if not the best Samgyetan I have ever had. The pine nuts were smooth and savory. Service was attentive and friendly. Really warming on a rainy day.
Must be a comfort food but not my style of cuisine. It’s chicken stewed with a variety of starchy vegetables including mung beans, pine nuts and mugwort. The chicken is fall apart due to the fact of being boiled so long and the root vegetables are broken down into a thick soup. It’s not very flavorful at baseline but you can add salt as needed. Lovely setting and popular with the locals but I enjoy a clearer soup (such as galbi tang) with less starch or just porridge (including the popular abalone type in Korea). Walk in only and dining is indoor. Credit cards are accepted.
I ordered mung beans samgyetang and my friend ordered pine nut samgyetang. So delicious and healthy! You can ask for more rice if you want. Definitely will come back again to this place!
