Seolleung izakaya in Seoul with hanwoo sukiyaki for two: Momiji

Momiji Seolleung Branch is a Japanese izakaya in Gangnam, Seoul, a 3-minute walk from Exit 2 of Seolleung Station, where there is no open hall seating and every table sits in its own private room. Two people shared a small sashimi platter, hanwoo (Korean beef) sukiyaki, five kinds of yakitori, and bokbunja and Earl Grey highballs — the sashimi was thick-cut and generous, and the hanwoo in the sukiyaki was richly marbled. Momiji Seolleung works well for a quiet drink, a team dinner, or a first date.

Namyangju hanok restaurant, doenjang salmon steak: Romaok Riverside

Romaok Riverside is a hanok Italian restaurant in Mieumnaru, Namyangju, Gyeonggi, looking out over the Paldang stretch of the Han River. Chefs who trained at two-Michelin-star kitchens in Italy make the Napoli mare pomodoro pasta and a balsamic-glazed salmon steak built on a doenjang (fermented soybean paste) sauce, and every table starts with green onion focaccia baked in house; the space is also rented out for outdoor weddings and dol (first birthday) parties. Romaok Riverside was worth the trip for the river view, but the food is the reason to go back.
