Read guide →Korean cuisine (hansik) is built around balance — fermented sides (banchan), a steaming bowl of rice, and a main dish that changes with the season. Meals are served all at once rather than in courses, and sharing dishes at the table is the norm. The depth of flavor comes from slow-fermented pastes like doenjang (soybean) and gochujang (chili), which form the backbone of soups, stews, and marinades across the country.
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.
The location is great, situated right in the Gangnam area near the subway station. The taste is excellent—the soy sauce crab is definitely the highlight. While the portions seemed a little smaller than I expected for the price, the overall quality and experience were great.
second time here. first was on a local’s recommendation and loved it. brought a friend here during our seoul trip and now she lives gejang too. service is friendly and rather fast. walked in on a saturday lunch time )11.30 and it was very easy to get seated. the gejang is a MUST order. spicy crab stew was good but too much for two girls. would rather have done 2 gejangs 😋 panchan was amazing too!
We came here at around 5pm for a raw crab dinner. The crab was so sweet and delicious. It came with lots of banchan and we ate almost everything. Remember to mix the rice in the crab shell.
