Gongdeok in-law meeting restaurant with sea bream pot rice: Usu

Usu is a hanwoo (Korean beef) dining restaurant in Gongdeok, Mapo, Seoul, connected directly to Gongdeok Station Exit 2. The Dinner B course runs from ugyejinjuk porridge and four bite-sized dishes through Jeju tilefish and 1++ hanwoo tteokgalbi to sea bream pot rice with a personal tabletop grill, ending with a corn ice cream dessert that even a corn-averse companion finished in seconds. For occasions where the room and the mood matter as much as the food, such as meeting the in-laws or an anniversary, Usu is an easy recommendation.
