Korean
Japanese cuisine has deep roots in Seoul, shaped by geographic proximity and a long shared history. Seoul-style Japanese restaurants range from affordable sushi conveyor belts and ramen shops to high-end omakase counters. Quality fish is flown in daily, and Korean chefs often put their own spin on Japanese classics — thicker broths, spicier condiments, and seasonal Korean ingredients woven into traditional recipes.
Gangnam-gu is Seoul's upscale business and entertainment district south of the Han River. Home to K-pop entertainment companies, COEX Mall, and the Apgujeong-Rodeo shopping strip, it attracts young professionals, tourists, and K-drama fans. Restaurants here tend toward the polished and premium, with a density of international cuisine, high-end Korean dining, and trendy cafés.
Interesting ambience with high quality Japanese food. The ambience is more like a farm house in somewhere suburb in the states. But their menu is Japanese. Sashimi and sime saba were good.
Very fuss free, you order from a tablet (has English and pictures) and food just comes. The crab pasta and mackerel potato maki were standouts. Nice cosy vibe. We also got free dishes (beef and dessert). Should make a reservation, they are small and decently popular. Would come back~

the restaurant cancelled our reservation without even informing us or telling us in advance. we tried calling 3-4 times at least one hour beforehand but in vein. no msg/call/email from them at all. this is very rude and unprofessional, although deposit is returned but we would love to try again next time when we visit seoul.
