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.
An absolutely unforgettable experience. I came here alone and it was definitely a culinary experience. I sat at the bar, and at the bar area you are able to see the chefs as the create each dish along the way. The entire time I was immersed in watching them cook and how well oiled of a machine they were. The food was 11 courses when I went and I opted for the additional Muoki egg (which is not an egg but I won't take the surprise away). Each dish stood out and it took no longer than around 10 minutes between each course; the servers are timing each meal to ensure the courses arrive promptly. I had the Iberico which was my second favorite (after the Muoki egg) and the dessert with passion fruit was, without a doubt, the best dessert I've had in my life. I cannot stress how quickly I devoured that course as every ounce of self restraint left my body. The overall experience took me 2.5 hours from start to finish which they let you know beforehand. They also switch some dishes seasonally so it's worth going again in a different season. Overall, it was a fantastic meal and worth a special occasion ( or just to go)!
Best service experience! They pulled my chair out and pushed it back in as I sat down, every time even though I went to the bathroom 3 times because I drank so much water. Each course was delicious and meticulously crafted. I had fun sitting at the bar watching the chefs work. The servers speak great English. I came solo and had a great experience. I’d come back again on my next trip to Seoul. Update: A few weeks ago, I tested positive for a lobster allergy. I am really glad I did the lobster upgrade at Muoki before I found out. It was worth every penny. Thank you for a memorable last lobster.
Absolutely delicious meal with extremely thoughtful and kind service! We were very impressed with the flavors, presentation and imagination throughout dinner. Our favorites were the liver toast, lobster, muoki egg and Hanwoo steak. Highly recommended! 🙏🏼👍🏼🌟🍷🥂
