About the Cuisine

Western-style Korean

Western food has been localized in Seoul over decades, emerging as something distinctly Korean in the process. Demi-glace pork cutlets, cream pasta with kimchi, and French-style brunch menus sit alongside Italian pizza and American burgers in Seoul's eclectic restaurant landscape. Many younger Korean chefs trained abroad and returned to open restaurants that blend European technique with Korean ingredients and sensibility.

About the District

Seongdong-gu

Seongdong-gu's Seongsu-dong has transformed from an industrial zone into Seoul's most talked-about food and culture district. Nicknamed 'Seoul's Brooklyn,' it hosts artisan roasters, pop-up restaurants, and concept cafés in renovated factories alongside high-end boutiques. The food scene rewards curiosity — the best spots are often down an alleyway or behind an unmarked door.

A novel idea. I was hyped up, yet execution didn’t meet the high expectation. A solid 4. Decent, yet not outstanding. We ordered bulgogi spaghetti and chicken paella and they were both cooked pretty well, but without surprise. I think they should work on seasoning. The food can be enhanced if they do something to add complexity and aroma to the flavor. Something is missing and I don’t know what; perhaps they need to add some cheese or salt or pepper, or ways to add more natural umami. Presentation was good (enough). Overall, a moderately decent meal, but a bit disappointing. To obtain 5 stars, flavor needs to be further polished. Pricing is good. I look forward to trying it again once improvement is made.

It is Korean Italian fusion restaurant where you can try very unique Italian food with hints of Korean food that you cannot find elsewhere. We ordered galbi pasta and chicken garlic paella and enjoyed both. The restaurant has good vibe as well. Highly recommend!

Came here on a whim while vacationing in Korea and was pleasantly surprised! It's located on the 3rd floor of the building, so you'll have to take an elevator up. I ordered the Charcoal Grilled-Ribs Kimchi Stone Pot Risotto and it was great. I haven't eaten much risotto before, but the balance between Korean and Italian flavors was very good. The atmosphere here is chill and elevated. The bathrooms were clean and the service was good. I would recommend if you're in the area.
