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.
Ordered pork sirloin and tenderloin donkatsu. It was bit overly fried but was ok.
Taste 5, Price 6, Portion 6, Friendliness 5 (Total 5) From the first bite, the harmony of meat and fried food is exquisite. The Japanese-style assorted pork cutlet is generous in portions and reasonably priced. This is why it's always packed during lunchtime. I'd love to try other dishes besides pork cutlet for dinner.
