On a weekday afternoon visit with her sister, the writer ordered chili ragu pasta, bacon wasabi romaine, chipotle chicken and coffee, and the crisp romaine against warm bacon tasted like the café's signature. Mild High Club Apgujeong Branch lets you linger without feeling rushed, so it works for a lunch gathering or a date. ## Good to know - **Ordered**: Chili ragu pasta, bacon wasabi romaine, chipotle chicken, coffee - **Drinks**: Wide wine selection, plus decaf coffee and ades - **Time of visit**: Weekday daytime; quieter once it passes 2pm - **Waiting**: Expect a wait on weekends; go early in the day *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* I spent ages deciding what to eat on a weekday afternoon and ended up crossing over to Apgujeong. I didn't have a specific place in mind, but my sister spotted somewhere she liked while we were walking the alley, and that turned out to be Mild High Club. ![Exterior of Mild High Club Apgujeong Branch in an Apgujeong alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine-01-31as6-m-900.webp) ![Scenery around the entrance of Mild High Club Apgujeong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine-02-skns1-m-900.webp) ## What is the atmosphere like at Mild High Club Apgujeong Branch? Once you open the door at Mild High Club Apgujeong Branch, the inside is bigger than I expected, and every sunlit seat had someone leisurely spending their time there. I love this kind of weekday atmosphere so much!! The interior is neatly put together and just really pretty. The music volume was exactly right for conversation, so I was won over the moment I sat down. ![Sunlit seating inside Mild High Club](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine-03-rwz95-900.webp) ![Neatly arranged interior of the brunch café](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine-04-n0zc3-900.webp) What I liked most was that it's not the kind of place where you rush through brunch and leave — nobody makes you feel bad about lingering. Plenty of tables were slowly enjoying delicious food with a drink, which is basically heaven for someone like me who loves a drink~! If my sister drank, we'd have happily had a glass, but sadly that wasn't an option ㅠㅠㅜ ![Wine varieties displayed in the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine-05-1lu2u-900.webp) So much wine too! I'll have to come back in the evening next time. ![Menu board at Mild High Club Apgujeong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine-06-e0xnw-900.webp) ## What we ordered: chili ragu pasta and bacon wasabi romaine After staring at the Mild High Club menu for a good while, I settled on the chili ragu pasta and the bacon wasabi romaine! Both combos sounded intriguing just from the names, so there was no way I could skip them. ![Relaxed table atmosphere on a quiet weekday afternoon](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine-07-9u1sd-900.webp) Great for a lunch gathering or a wedding-invite meetup — has that relaxed, almost-overseas feel haha. ![Two brunch plates set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine-08-8byc1-1200.webp) Ah! The visuals are perfect too. The brunch dishes are just as pretty as the atmosphere! ![Close-up of a plated brunch dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine-09-1x20m-900.webp) ![Overhead view of the brunch spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine-10-1pmm1-900.webp) ### Chipotle chicken: rich and filling The chipotle chicken salad is much heartier than I expected. I ordered it thinking it'd be a light, sandwich-like dish, but it was filling, and that distinct chipotle flavor is totally my style~! ![Plate of chipotle chicken topped with arugula](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine-11-1g4el-900.webp) It goes so well with the arugula, which made me even happier ㅠㅠㅠ — I'd been on the fence about ordering it, and I'm glad I did. ![Cross-section of chipotle chicken with arugula](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine-12-1ryld-900.webp) ![Chipotle chicken dish with a bite taken out](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine-13-s07lk-900.webp) We polished it off in no time hahaha. ![Nearly empty plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine-14-n4f6t-900.webp) ### Why bacon wasabi romaine feels like the signature dish The bacon wasabi romaine really felt like Mild High Club's signature dish! The romaine is crisp and cold while the bacon is salty and warm, so the contrast is fun, and the wasabi dressing just barely brushes past your nose without ever being overpowering. Clean and easy to eat as brunch! ![Bacon wasabi romaine salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine-15-1urt1-900.webp) ![Warm bacon on top of romaine lettuce](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine-16-yr138-900.webp) I liked that the salad wasn't just a side dish but came out feeling like a dish in its own right. Picking at it in between bites of chipotle chicken reset my palate, so I was glad I ordered this combination. ![Romaine topped with wasabi dressing and olives](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine-17-u9obb-900.webp) So good~! So good~! The crunchy romaine with that wasabi sauce is so addictive. And loaded with olives, which I love! ![Picking up a bite of the romaine salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine-18-s076h-900.webp) ## A brunch café in Apgujeong that does coffee too Adding coffee to this meal turned out to be a genius move. Mild High Club's coffee is really well made haha. They also sell decaf and several kinds of ade, so even if you can't drink coffee, you're covered! The coffee finishes clean. Being able to handle both a meal and coffee in one sitting makes this a solid recommendation for Apgujeong brunch~! ![A cup of coffee served alongside the brunch](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine-19-kb157-900.webp) ## When is Mild High Club Apgujeong Branch least busy? Customers kept streaming in the whole time we ate, but things eased up once it hit 2pm! There were people reading alone, couples, and groups of friends all filling up the tables, making it feel lively. The staff were super kind and clearly working hard, which made me like this brunch café even more! Food came out fast and service felt relaxed — there's clearly a reason a place gets this popular. I'm guessing there'd be a wait on weekends, so if you're planning to go, I'd recommend heading over a bit earlier!! The tables weren't cramped either, which is probably why people weren't just eating and leaving — they were ordering coffee and sitting around talking for a good while. It seems like the kind of place that wouldn't feel awkward solo, is great for long chats with a friend, and would work fine bringing your parents along too — a solid choice no matter who you're with. I'm definitely coming back here for a date again and again. ## Where it is - Mild High Club Apgujeong Branch (마일드하이클럽 압구정점) - 22 Eonju-ro 170-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea (1F) - 서울특별시 강남구 언주로170길 22 1층 - 37.5266876, 127.035449 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A7%88%EC%9D%BC%EB%93%9C%ED%95%98%EC%9D%B4%ED%81%B4%EB%9F%BD%20%EC%95%95%EA%B5%AC%EC%A0%95%EC%A0%90/@37.5266876,127.035449,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@cotton-label/apgujeong-brunch-bacon-wasabi-romaine/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
