Read guide →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.
The Winter Season course at The Kitchen Il Porno. The private rooms are a nice touch. See photos for the menu and prices.
Stopped in for lunch with friends. Located on the second floor of the Centerfield East Tower. Lunch is a pizza buffet, but they offer two types of pizza, salad, soup, pasta, fried chicken, eggplant, gnocchi, smoked salmon, pudding, fruit jelly, fresh fruit, snacks, coffee, and other beverages. For the price, it seems like a great deal.
The atmosphere and service were fantastic! However, the food was a bit disappointing. The pasta was absolutely delicious, with truffle cheese wheels! However, despite the oven, the dough served with the pizza and poppo was a bit disappointing...
