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.
EAT
EATThe Hanu beef was very tender and delicious! Loved it!
The restaurant is clean and the meat is delicious, but the service from the staff serving on the second floor is poor. They can't grill the meat properly, and they forget to bring cabbage or onions even when asked... They really take it easy for themselves. I'd rather just go to Daedo Restaurant than pay this much to go here.
I visited early on a weekday evening in June 2024. I ordered galbitang, a light meal rather than a grilled dish, so it felt different from others. I visited around 5 p.m., a relatively quiet time. The atmosphere was relaxed, the place was quiet, and the weather was cool, allowing me to enjoy my meal in a relaxed atmosphere. The galbitang broth was less spicy, yet rich and savory. While it lacked the distinctive flavors of galbitang found in five-star hotels, that's a matter of individuality, not a lack of flavor. The galbitang itself isn't something you'd travel far for, but it was satisfying enough for a quick bite nearby.
