Seolleung beef restaurant: 800g galbi platter and cold somyeon at Uno

Every time I plan a meat dinner near Seolleung Station or Gangnam Station, I end up agonizing a bit! The location has to be convenient, the meat quality has to be good, and I want a place where two people can try several cuts without it being too much. The seating should be comfortable too, and a generous spread makes everyone happier, right?

This time I went to Uno (우노) in Seolleung, a hanwoo (Korean beef) restaurant whose signature item is the Uno galbi platter, a set that lets you taste several kinds of galbi (short rib) at once. Two of us went and had the 800g Uno galbi platter plus two cold somyeon (thin wheat noodles). Long story short: it was really plenty for two, and we left completely stuffed and satisfied ✨😍

Where is Uno Seolleung, and what are its hours?

Uno is on the 1st floor of the Donghyeon Building, 10 Teheran-ro 70-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, about a 5-minute walk from Seolleung Station Exit 1. It's not far from the station, so it works for anyone looking for a beef restaurant near Seolleung Station, or as a spot for an after-work get-together.

• Address: 1st floor, Donghyeon Building, 10 Teheran-ro 70-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (Uno)
• Hours: 11:00–22:00
• Break time: 15:00–17:00
• Closed: every Sunday
• Location: about a 5-minute walk from Seolleung Station Exit 1

Atmosphere: is Uno good for company dinners and group meals?

The restaurant is spacious and clean! It doesn't have that cramped, jammed-together feel of a typical beef place. The tables are nicely spaced, and the whole place felt tidy and well suited to get-togethers.

There's hall seating, and I heard private rooms are available too, so it seemed like a good fit for company dinners near Seolleung Station or gatherings in the Daechi area. It's a meat restaurant, but it isn't just loud, so we could chat comfortably while we ate.

What two people ordered: 800g Uno galbi platter and cold somyeon

Here's what we ordered that day!

• Uno galbi platter 800g (₩80,000)
• 2 cold somyeon (₩10,000 each)

🥩 800g Uno galbi platter: is it enough for two?

What we ate that day was the 800g Uno galbi platter.

The platter lets you enjoy several cuts at once, so beef lovers should be pretty happy with it. The moment the meat arrived, the look of it was amazing! At 800g, there was no shortage at all for two people, and once we added the cold noodles we were seriously full, haha.

The first cut we tried was the diced kkotsal (깍둑꽃살, diced ribeye cap).

Next up, LA galbi~

Beef tongue!

And then the beef short rib meat!

Best cut on the platter? Diced kkotsal vs marinated short rib meat

My absolute favorite was the diced kkotsal 😍 The moment it hits your mouth, the juices burst out and you get a rich, nutty flavor. The outside was nicely grilled and savory, and the inside was tender, so it was the cut I remember most from that day.

My dining partner said the marinated short rib meat we ate last was the best.

The marinade wasn't overly sweet or harsh. It brought out the flavor of the meat and added depth, so we enjoyed it right to the end.

Complimentary sundae hangover soup

The basic set that came along was satisfying too. In particular, seonji haejangguk (선지해장국, beef blood hangover soup) came as a freebie, and it was nice to sip between bites of meat.

It's hearty in a different way from a regular doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew), so I think people who crave a bowl of broth while eating meat will be glad to see it.

🍜 Cold somyeon to refresh the palate

The cold somyeon (₩10,000 each) we ordered to finish was good too. After beef, you sometimes crave a cold noodle dish, and the somyeon cleaned the palate nicely, so the combination worked. It went well with a piece of meat too, and even though we were full, we kept reaching for it.

A large patbingsu for dessert

And at the very end, a large patbingsu (팥빙수, shaved ice with sweet red beans) came out too. The patbingsu was complimentary! It was a lovely sweet, cool finish after the meat. A place that even takes care of dessert like this just sticks in your memory.

Verdict: a Seolleung Station beef restaurant for a proper beef day

To sum up, Uno is a good place to visit near Seolleung Station when you want to really eat beef. The points I liked most:

• ✔ Close to Seolleung Station
• ✔ The 800g Uno galbi platter was plenty for two people
• ✔ The juicy, tender texture of the diced kkotsal
• ✔ The depth of flavor in the marinated short rib meat
• ✔ A hearty lineup, with free sundae hangover soup and patbingsu dessert

If you're looking for a company dinner spot near Seolleung Station, a place for a Daechi gathering, or a beef restaurant near Seolleung where you can enjoy many cuts generously, Uno is worth checking out. Personally, the diced kkotsal stuck with me, while my companion loved the marinated short rib meat most, so next time we'd probably want both again~😉
