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.

My favorite samgyetang restaurant for 12 years. It's always delicious, and I'm confident recommending it to everyone I know! We even had a chance to visit on Boknal this year!

This is a must try when in Korea. They provide an English menu with instructions on how to enjoy the soup. The Ma-Samgyetang is a rice porridge made ground raw yam, ginseng, and garlic.
