韓国料理
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.
江南区
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.
Aside from the small size of the restaurant, everything else is great. The kimchi stew isn't salty, but rather refreshing, with a hint of anchovy broth. It's exquisitely balanced, and I absolutely love it. The omelet is also delicious, with meat. I recommend making a reservation in advance for a table. Even with a reservation, there's always a long wait.
A regular restaurant I've visited more than 10 times. Even the chili powder is domestically sourced, so it's incredibly delicious.
