The building has no parking of its own, so this visit used the nearby A-Prosquare and Seocho paid parking lots, then ran through the 78,000-won classic course for two: seven dishes from a welcome sparkling drink and crispy potato to basil tomato mille-feuille lasagna, Jeju black pork tenderloin steak and choco tiramisu, all with grand piano playing live. Sort out parking in advance and Flat Nine works beautifully for an anniversary date near Gangnam Station. ## Good to know - **Location**: 10 Gangnam-daero 65-gil, 5th floor, Seocho-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Mon–Thu 18:00–24:00 / Fri 18:00–01:00 / Weekends 15:00–24:00 - **Signature menu**: Dinner classic course for two 78,000 won, signature course 118,000 won - **Course price per person**: 39,000 won (7 dishes) - **À la carte prices**: Pasta in the 20,000-won range, chuck flap steak in the 40,000-won range - **Live charge**: 15,000 won per person / 10,000 won during weekend happy hour (15:00–18:00) - **Weekend happy hour**: 3pm–6pm, 30% off cocktails - **Parking**: No parking in the building; A-Prosquare and Seocho paid parking lots are a 2-minute walk away - **Access**: About 340m from Gangnam Station Exit 10 or Sinnonhyeon Station Exit 7, a 5-minute walk - **Reservations**: Naver Reservation and Catch Table - **Perk**: Free mini cocktail for posting a Naver receipt photo review - **Price reference**: ₩78,000 ≈ $56 · ₩39,000 ≈ $28 · ₩20,000 ≈ $14.5 (2026-09-20) *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* ![Interior of Flat Nine jazz bar on the 5th floor of a Gangnam Station building](https://img.superchart.com/images/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course-01-1r0r0-966.webp) On the 5th floor of a building in the heart of Gangnam Station, this is a place where you can enjoy smooth jazz melodies and refined Western cuisine together. Let me give you a little taste of the mood at Flat Nine, a Gangnam Station restaurant and bar! ## Flat Nine at a glance - One-line review: A destination for enjoying top-tier live jazz and a polished 7-course meal in one place - Location: 10 Gangnam-daero 65-gil, 5th floor, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea - Hours: Mon–Thu 18:00–24:00 / Fri 18:00–01:00 / Weekends 15:00–24:00 - Signature menu: Classic dinner course for two ₩78,000, Signature course ₩118,000 - Parking/Reservations: No building parking (use nearby paid lots), reservations via Naver Reservation and Catchtable The moment the elevator doors opened, red neon lighting and a coziness straight out of a movie jazz club unfolded before me. A hefty black grand piano sat right in the center of the hall, and the soft lighting made me forget the bustle of the city entirely. It genuinely felt like stepping into a scene from La La Land, and I was full of excitement from the very start. This is a space where music and fine dining blend perfectly, and the moment you walk in, it feels like a special day is beginning. It made a wonderfully romantic first impression — the kind of place perfect for spending unforgettable time with someone special on an anniversary or at year's end. ## Where to park at Flat Nine: nearby paid lots and the walk from Gangnam Station Flat Nine is just a 5-minute walk from the subway exit, so it's really convenient to get to by public transit. It's about 340m from Gangnam Station Exit 10 or Sinnonhyeon Station Exit 7 — just walk straight down the alley and you'll see it. The building itself doesn't have dedicated parking, so if you're driving, I'd recommend using a paid lot. Nearby A-Prosquare Parking Lot or Seocho Public Parking Lot are both a 2-minute walk away and easy to use. That said, since this is the kind of place where you'll want a cocktail or wine alongside the mood-setting jazz, taking the subway is honestly the most stress-free option. ![Monthly show schedule posted on the entrance stairwell wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course-02-uvn77-966.webp) On the stairwell wall by the entrance, a neatly posted monthly show schedule caught my eye. Being able to check which performer is playing on which date in advance is a nice touch for jazz fans. On show nights, seating fills up fast, so it's safer to reserve ahead rather than walk in. ## Best tables in front of the stage and the interior mood at Flat Nine The grand piano stage stretches across the front of the hall at Flat Nine, so the vibrancy of the music reaches every seat. The dimly lit black-toned interior, with stylish arched columns and bar tables, adds to the atmosphere. ![Grand piano stage and black-toned hall interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course-03-okxr0-966.webp) The two-seat tables right in front of the stage are a date-night sweet spot — you can vividly feel the performer's breathing and every touch of the keys. ![Two-seat table right in front of the stage](https://img.superchart.com/images/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course-04-16uxv-966.webp) Toward the back, there are comfortable sofa seats and group booths as well, plenty for small gatherings. Every table has a softly glowing candle warmer, which made it easy to fully focus on the conversation with the person across from me. The grand yet warm resonance wrapped around the whole space, and I found myself marveling before the meal even started. ![Sofa seating area with black-and-white jazz artist portraits on the wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course-05-gkp3z-m-966.webp) Black-and-white framed portraits of legendary jazz artists line the walls, adding a deep sense of character. It's the perfect hideaway where the hip vibe of a sleek lounge bar coexists with the charm of calm, classic dining. ## Flat Nine classic course prices and how to order for value It's surprisingly good value that Flat Nine offers a 7-course dinner for ₩39,000 per person in the heart of Gangnam. ![Flat Nine's course and à la carte menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course-06-xokzc-966.webp) Considering that à la carte pasta runs in the ₩20,000s and the striploin steak is in the ₩40,000s, the course is clearly the better deal. The classic course for two we chose was ₩78,000 and ran from an aperitif all the way through dessert as a full multi-course meal. There's also a signature course (₩118,000) that includes Korean beef striploin, but the base classic course is already excellent. Ordering through the tablet installed at the table was convenient — you can keep watching the show without interrupting the flow. Also, don't forget to write a photo review on your Naver receipt, since that gets you a free mini cocktail. ![Weekend happy hour discount signage](https://img.superchart.com/images/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course-07-dlxmm-966.webp) From 3pm to 6pm on weekends, there's a nice perk of 30% off cocktails plus a reduced ₩10,000 live charge. If you want both good value and great atmosphere in one visit, I'd definitely recommend timing it for the weekend happy hour. ## Welcome sparkling drink and crispy potato to start the course As soon as we sat down, a refreshing welcome sparkling drink arrived in an elegant glass to quench our thirst. ![Welcome sparkling aperitif served in a glass](https://img.superchart.com/images/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course-08-qrxqi-966.webp) We could choose between alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions depending on preference, and the crisp fizz really woke up our appetite on an empty stomach. Herb leaves and a lemon slice floating in the red sparkling drink released a bright citrus aroma from the very first sip. ![Red welcome drink topped with herb leaves and lemon](https://img.superchart.com/images/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course-09-13ffm-966.webp) Next came the crispy potato, made by frying thinly stacked layers of potato so it had a flaky, pie-like texture. ![Crispy potato dish made of thinly stacked, fried layers](https://img.superchart.com/images/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course-10-1g33w-966.webp) The outside was crispy while the inside stayed moist, and the fresh basil aroma and mayo sauce on top blended in savory harmony. It was fried cleanly without any greasy smell, so every bite had that light, crisp crunch ringing pleasantly in my ears. ![Close-up of crispy potato topped with basil and mayo sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course-11-2il30-966.webp) ![Warm focaccia bread served with balsamic olive oil](https://img.superchart.com/images/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course-12-19wyk-966.webp) The warm focaccia bread that came with it was excellent dipped in balsamic olive oil — light yet wonderfully chewy. ## Basil tomato mille-feuille lasagna: the richest dish of the course ![A plate of basil tomato mille-feuille lasagna](https://img.superchart.com/images/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course-13-suj46-966.webp) Baked twice in the oven, the mille-feuille lasagna with its crispy edges was visually striking from the first glance. ![Mille-feuille lasagna topped with Grana Padano cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course-14-c0rrz-966.webp) It was topped like fresh snow with white Grana Padano cheese and drizzled with fragrant basil oil. The moment I cut off a bite with my fork and put it in my mouth, the layered chewy pasta sheets and rich beef ragù sauce spread out heavily. ![A forkful of lasagna showing its layers and ragù sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course-15-1x5o7-966.webp) The ragù sauce, simmered slowly over a long time, had that deep, savory meaty flavor with tender bits of meat you could really bite into. ![A piece of lasagna coated in ragù sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course-16-1f1ap-966.webp) The bright acidity of the tomato and the fragrance of basil cleanly balanced out the heaviness of the meat, so there was never a heavy or greasy moment. The unique crunch of the pasta sheets, almost like a crispy pie crust, made every bite even more fun to eat. ## Jeju black pork tenderloin steak grilled over binchotan charcoal ![Plated Jeju black pork tenderloin steak main course](https://img.superchart.com/images/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course-17-jixgg-966.webp) The main dish, Jeju black pork tenderloin steak, hit my nose with a subtle charcoal-grilled aroma the moment it arrived. ![Black pork tenderloin steak seared over binchotan charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course-18-16j3j-966.webp) Seared over binchotan charcoal, the outside was crisply seared while the inside stayed moist, holding onto its rosy pink juices. ![Cross-section of the sliced tenderloin steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course-19-mkuiw-966.webp) It was so tender that the knife glided through without any resistance — hard to believe it was pork. ![Tenderloin with herb crust and demi-glace sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course-20-16ere-966.webp) The crispy, fragrant herb crust on top of the steak and the moist texture of the tenderloin came together in perfect harmony. Dipping it in the rich demi-glace sauce pooled at the bottom of the plate, then adding a bit of tangy mango purée on top, was absolutely delicious. The sweet-tart freshness of the mango purée really brought out the savory flavor of the lean tenderloin — a perfect pairing. ![King oyster mushroom and baby potato garnish](https://img.superchart.com/images/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course-21-17see-966.webp) Paired with chewy grilled king oyster mushrooms and crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside baby potatoes on the side, the plate emptied fast. ## Choco tiramisu finish with live jazz playing ![Handmade choco tiramisu dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course-22-a6vlu-m-966.webp) At the end of the meal, a handmade choco tiramisu arrived, blending soft mascarpone cheese with slightly bitter cocoa powder. ![A spoonful of tiramisu dusted with cocoa powder](https://img.superchart.com/images/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course-23-7lkfp-966.webp) While we savored the sweet dessert, smooth live jazz filled the space from the stage. ![Live jazz performance underway on the stage](https://img.superchart.com/images/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course/flatnine-gangnam-jazz-classic-course-24-u9zt5-1200.webp) ## Flat Nine FAQ ### How long is the walk from the subway exit to Flat Nine?
