The 90-minute dinner course ran from a green onion tart and dongchimi mulhoe (chilled radish-water raw fish soup) to smoked Goheung mackerel, buckwheat noodles topped with sea urchin and gopchang gim (crinkled seaweed), and makgeolli ice cream. MUSEO reinterprets Korean ingredients with Western techniques, which makes it a good fit for a date or a pre-wedding gathering. ## Good to know - **Location**: 10-minute walk from Yangjae Station Exit 2, basement level - **Hours**: 10:00–22:00, open daily - **Break time**: 14:30–17:30 - **Last order**: 20:00 - **Parking**: Free in the space to the right of the building; 1 hour covered at the Daemyung Building lot on the left - **Dinner condition**: An alcoholic drink order is required - **Course duration**: About 1 hour 30 minutes - **Course structure**: Welcome bite, seasonal seafood, jeon (savory pancake) and grilled dishes, main, rice or noodle course, dessert and tea *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* Hi everyone~ Today I'm introducing a Gangnam-area course dining restaurant that's great for a date ![Visit to MUSEO, a Korean course dining restaurant near Yangjae Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner-01-18fgp-900.webp) ![Area around the entrance of MUSEO](https://img.superchart.com/images/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner-02-15io8-900.webp) ![Stairway down to MUSEO on the basement level](https://img.superchart.com/images/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner-03-17lji-900.webp) ![Full view of the MUSEO restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner-04-1dkl5-900.webp) ![Vertical shot of the MUSEO interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner-05-1ocge-900.webp) ## How to get to MUSEO in Yangjae: parking and hours The location is 10 minutes from Yangjae Station Exit 2!

So good~ ![Private atmosphere inside MUSEO](https://img.superchart.com/images/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner-06-7cslt-900.webp) ## What's in the MUSEO dinner course? MUSEO's dinner course is made up of a welcome bite, seasonal seafood, jeon and grilled dishes as mains, noodles, and dessert and tea. It's a course that dials the intensity of flavor from light to umami, then oily fish, then savory rich noodles and meat, ending with dessert. (My boyfriend all excited, dying to eat) So cute, haha ![Table setting while waiting for the course](https://img.superchart.com/images/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner-07-gb2j5-900.webp) Dinner requires an alcoholic drink order, so I had a draft beer and my boyfriend ordered a non-alcoholic wine. *MUSEO's dinner course isn't a typical Korean course — it's closer to Korean ingredients reinterpreted with Western cooking methods and plating. ![Glasses of draft beer and non-alcoholic wine](https://img.superchart.com/images/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner-08-1ljnc-900.webp) ## Sinan green onion tart and sesame oil steamed egg Before the course properly begins, a one-bite dish to whet the appetite: Sinan green onion — green onion tart / sesame oil steamed egg. First… the green onion tart? Insane. The tart shell was crisp and the green onion turned sweeter once cooked, so much umami! The combination with cream cheese and cheese was delicious. The steamed egg was full of sesame oil aroma too, and had fried anchovies on top for great texture. ![Sinan green onion tart and sesame oil steamed egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner-09-hahjo-900.webp) ### Dongchimi mulhoe with seafood and mustard jelly Not the usual red mulhoe (cold raw fish soup) — this uses a clear broth based on dongchimi (watery radish kimchi) A cold, refreshing mulhoe with sweet shrimp, cucumber, mustard jelly, and sea squirt..♥ I couldn't leave a drop of the broth, drank it all. ![Dongchimi mulhoe with seafood and mustard jelly](https://img.superchart.com/images/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner-10-1on77-900.webp) ## Hoengseong hanwoo tteokgalbi in doenjang pine nut sauce Next up, Hoengseong hanwoo tteokgalbi (Korean beef patty) — doenjang (soybean paste) pine nut sauce. The honeycomb-smoked tteokgalbi was delicious, but the chives and sauce underneath were the real kicker. ![Hoengseong hanwoo tteokgalbi with doenjang pine nut sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner-11-1227t-900.webp) Seared hard and savory on the outside, moist inside, full of smoky flavor. A warm, rich dish that contrasted nicely with the cold mulhoe before it! ![Cross-section of the smoky tteokgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner-12-nf3nr-900.webp) A quick shot midway through ![Table shot midway through the course](https://img.superchart.com/images/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner-13-1c7mf-900.webp) ![Atmosphere shot mid-course at MUSEO](https://img.superchart.com/images/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner-14-1ofig-900.webp) ## The best dish of the night: Wando kelp with Goheung mackerel This is the one I picked as the tastiest: Wando kelp — Goheung mackerel ![Wando kelp soy butter with brioche](https://img.superchart.com/images/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner-15-e65xt-900.webp) Oh, that brioche and kelp soy butter? I wanted to pack it up separately... A Western-style brioche spread with butter infused with Korean kelp flavor. So this is how good salty butter can be. ![Brioche spread with kelp butter](https://img.superchart.com/images/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner-16-1otqf-900.webp) The Goheung mackerel was practically a main-level dish. Smoked mackerel paired with baek-kimchi (white kimchi) beurre blanc and kimchi powder! ![Smoked Goheung mackerel with baek-kimchi beurre blanc](https://img.superchart.com/images/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner-17-1srf1-900.webp) Mackerel is naturally fatty and can be a bit heavy, but the rice-straw smoking gave it a smoky flavor that cut the richness, and paired with the tartness of the baek-kimchi it was so good I hated to see it disappear. And as the staff suggested, putting the mackerel on the brioche and eating it together is next-level. ![A bite of mackerel served on brioche](https://img.superchart.com/images/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner-18-1ql6o-900.webp) ## Gangneung potato truffle and sea urchin gopchang gim buckwheat noodles The star of this cute plating is the Gangneung potato truffle. It comes shaped like ice cream. ![Gangneung potato truffle shaped like ice cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner-19-1v7lz-900.webp) It comes with a white truffle mayonnaise sauce ![White truffle mayonnaise sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner-20-kiaw2-900.webp) Potatoes sliced paper-thin and fried crisp — fried food = never disappoints ![Thinly sliced fried potato dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner-21-og3df-900.webp) Gopchang gim (seaweed) buckwheat noodles piled high with sea urchin roe. Made with gim pesto from Wando gopchang gim mixed into buckwheat noodles, topped with fried buckwheat bits and sea urchin roe. Instead of the usual basil pesto, it's a gim pesto — totally my type. I never knew seaweed and uni went so well together. Before the main, a pear sherbet to reset the palate~ My mouth was full of fat and all sorts of aromas, and the cool sweetness of pear with the tartness of lemon cleared it all out. ![Palate-cleansing pear sherbet](https://img.superchart.com/images/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner-22-1w069-900.webp) ## The chicken leg main and makgeolli ice cream dessert The main of the dinner — chicken thigh! Cooked low and slow for a long time, so the chicken was incredibly tender, and the combination with a peppery doenjang-based sauce was the best. ![Low-and-slow cooked chicken thigh main dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner-23-jzfy1-900.webp) With doenjang, pepper, and broth flavors, it felt quite Korean. The meat was so tender it fell apart with just a fork. Lastly, the dessert my boyfriend and I raved about..! Makgeolli (rice wine) ice cream Topped with Korean melon, blueberries, and a crisp soy sauce crumble! The subtle rice fermentation aroma of makgeolli paired beautifully with the fresh sweetness of the fruit. More please. ## Is the MUSEO dinner course worth it? And that's how the roughly 90-minute dinner course went, and that's every dish I tried! A Korean course using fresh seasonal ingredients that change every month. ![MUSEO's Korean course made with seasonal ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner/muzeo-yangjae-korean-course-dinner-24-171y9-1200.webp) + With its private atmosphere, it's a great spot for a date, a pre-wedding gathering, or an anniversary!
