Weekday reservations were full until 7:30pm, so the table came at 8pm after a short wait, and three of us shared four dishes at a window seat: doenjang arancini, perilla oil salted seafood pasta, arugula cheese potato pancake, and kkwari dak-gangjeong (crispy sweet chicken). Every dish at Moa Gangnam had its own character, making it a solid pick for both group dinners and first dates, and worth a return visit. ## Good to know - **Name**: Moa Gangnam - **Location**: Geumseong Building, ground floor, 31 Teheran-ro 5-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Daily 11:00 - 22:00 - **Break time**: 15:30 - 17:00 - **Last order**: 21:00 - **Parking**: No parking at the building; Yeoksam Culture Park Public Parking Lot No. 2, a 2-minute walk - **Waiting**: Reservation recommended; walk-ins register on the Tabling app - **Time limit**: 90 minutes when the restaurant is full - **Facilities**: Groups welcome, separate men's/women's restrooms, waiting area, WiFi, high chair, open kitchen - **Doenjang bulgogi arancini**: 15,800 won - **Perilla oil salted seafood pasta**: 15,800 won - **Arugula cheese potato pancake**: 16,900 won - **Kkwari dak-gangjeong (crispy sweet chicken)**: 18,900 won *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* ![Cover photo of fusion Korean restaurant Moa Gangnam near Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion-01-tzjes-1200.webp) I met up with friends near Gangnam Station last week! While looking for a good Korean restaurant around Gangnam Station, I found Moa Gangnam, a fusion Korean spot — and it's genuinely, genuinely good!! Reservations were already full until 7:30pm even on a weekday, so I ended up going at the later time of 8pm. Even then, most tables were taken and I had to wait a bit. A true hidden gem! ## Where Moa Gangnam is and when it opens Moa Gangnam is on the ground floor of the Geumseong Building at Teheran-ro 5-gil 31, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. It's open daily 11:00 - 22:00, with a break time from 15:30 - 17:00 and last order at 21:00. - Group seating available - Reservations available - Separate men's/women's restrooms - Waiting area - WiFi ![Exterior of Moa Gangnam on the ground floor of the Geumseong Building](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion-02-p8699-900.webp) There's no parking in the building itself, but Yeoksam Culture Park Public Parking Lot No. 2 is a 2-minute walk away! ## Reservations, the waitlist and the 90-minute limit It's a Korean fusion restaurant!! I visited with a reservation, but if you come without one, you can register for a wait through Table Managing. It's such a hot spot that I'd really recommend booking ahead! Also, please note that when the place is fully booked, your table time is limited to 90 minutes~~ ![Moa Gangnam's menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion-03-e0d5u-900.webp) ## What the inside of Moa Gangnam looks like ![Fully booked interior of Moa Gangnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion-04-1ix9x-900.webp) ![Table layout and interior atmosphere at Moa Gangnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion-05-17ro9-900.webp) Can you tell it's completely full inside??

Coming as a group of three and sharing several dishes was so nice haha ![Table spread of the dishes ordered by three people at Moa Gangnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion-13-7xc4o-900.webp) ### Doenjang arancini (15,800 won) ## How the doenjang arancini tasted Moa's signature appetizer: crispy fried risotto served with doenjang (fermented soybean paste) ![Plating of the doenjang bulgogi arancini at Moa Gangnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion-14-qijam-900.webp) The plating alone is gorgeous — looks like Western food but it's Korean lol ![Close-up of arancini paired with doenjang sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion-15-d2hn4-900.webp) ![Doenjang bulgogi arancini cut open to reveal the inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion-16-r7jgk-900.webp) Inside the arancini, meat and rice are fried until crispy, and on the outside there's the doenjang sauce..!! Really inventive but it was actually delicious? ![Food spread on the table at Moa Gangnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion-17-1yp3q-900.webp) ### Perilla oil salted seafood pasta (15,800 won) A savory, nutty pasta with umami from pollack roe and salted flounder guts, and texture from whole perilla seeds ![Perilla oil salted seafood pasta at Moa Gangnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion-18-1sc1t-900.webp) This pasta was so salty-savory and the flavor of the salted seafood was insane! ![Forkful of perilla oil salted seafood pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion-19-1gj6u-900.webp) We scraped this one clean too lol ![Arugula cheese potato pancake at Moa Gangnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion-20-1cai5-900.webp) ### Arugula cheese potato pancake (16,900 won) A golden-brown cheese potato pancake piled high with pepperoni, arugula, and Grana Padano cheese This one is genuinely my favorite... and out of everything we ate, it felt the most fusion. A crispy potato pancake with arugula pizza + pepperoni pizza + gorgonzola pizza flavors. But surprisingly, it all came together in harmony and was really delicious ![A slice of the cheese potato pancake topped with pepperoni and arugula](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion/gangnam-late-evening-window-seat-fusion-21-uzl29-900.webp) The most fusion of all the fusion dishes!
