I reserved the earliest Lunch Course slot, 11:30 AM, through Catchtable. Reservations are available through Catchtable and Naver Booking. ![Naebang Station lunch course reservation information](https://img.superchart.com/images/naebang-private-lunch-course/naebang-private-lunch-course-01-11u39-650.webp) I had no idea there was such an upscale restaurant near the office. Naebang Station had always felt like a gray commuter neighborhood to me, but I was about to have a luxurious lunch. ![Exterior of the building housing the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/naebang-private-lunch-course/naebang-private-lunch-course-02-g396i-650.webp) ![Visiting a restaurant near Naebang Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/naebang-private-lunch-course/naebang-private-lunch-course-03-cbkqe-650.webp) The building entrance had the signature lunch and dinner course lineup posted out front. So excited 🤍 ![Lunch and dinner course lineup](https://img.superchart.com/images/naebang-private-lunch-course/naebang-private-lunch-course-04-9c5xa-650.webp) Bistro Chai Plus is on the second floor. To reach the restaurant, you go up through the wine shop on the first floor. There were so many wines, and I even spotted some cheaper than online! Corkage is available too, so wine lovers could pick one themselves and pair it with their meal upstairs. ## An all-private-room atmosphere ![Restaurant entrance through the first-floor wine shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/naebang-private-lunch-course/naebang-private-lunch-course-05-ktg8r-650.webp) ![Inside the wine shop with a wide selection of wine](https://img.superchart.com/images/naebang-private-lunch-course/naebang-private-lunch-course-06-166r7-650.webp) Every seat is in a private room. They also have group seating for up to 20 people. Is this where rich people hold their gatherings..? 🥹 I was newly amazed that a place like this exists near Naebang Station. ![Restaurant interior made up of private rooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/naebang-private-lunch-course/naebang-private-lunch-course-07-3kmrt-650.webp) ![Private room available for group dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/naebang-private-lunch-course/naebang-private-lunch-course-08-14zt1-650.webp) The room was neat and calm. It looked like they could open the doors at the back to seat a larger group, too. ## Lunch Course 1 and 2: only the mains differ ![Lunch and dinner course menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/naebang-private-lunch-course/naebang-private-lunch-course-09-18ruj-620.webp) ![Course meal menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/naebang-private-lunch-course/naebang-private-lunch-course-10-cz4hi-620.webp) There are three lunch courses and three dinner courses on the menu. ![Lunch course prices and lineup](https://img.superchart.com/images/naebang-private-lunch-course/naebang-private-lunch-course-11-dcfft-650.webp) LUNCH 48 and LUNCH 58. We ordered Lunch Course 1 and Lunch Course 2. Everything in the two courses is the same except for the main: Lunch Course 1 comes with grilled sablefish, while Lunch Course 2 has lamb chops. It was nice to check what the next course would be as we ate. ![Neatly set table for a course meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/naebang-private-lunch-course/naebang-private-lunch-course-12-nyeha-649.webp) It feels like I should be properly dressed. Everything is so beautifully composed. ![Course meal table atmosphere](https://img.superchart.com/images/naebang-private-lunch-course/naebang-private-lunch-course-13-8kygc-650.webp) ### Shared course dishes First, let's start with the ricotta salad that came with both courses. Why is ricotta cheese so good.. 🤍 It was so soft. The cinnamon dressing gave the salad a gentle cinnamon fragrance, and it worked beautifully. ![Ricotta salad with cinnamon dressing](https://img.superchart.com/images/naebang-private-lunch-course/naebang-private-lunch-course-14-mucpa-650.webp) Next was the seasonal soup: cauliflower soup topped with prosciutto. The salty prosciutto seasoned the soup so well that I scraped the bowl clean. ![Cauliflower soup topped with prosciutto](https://img.superchart.com/images/naebang-private-lunch-course/naebang-private-lunch-course-15-12xho-650.webp) Next, black sesame gangjeong (sweet glazed fried chicken). What is this? The chicken thigh just melts away.. ![Black sesame glazed chicken thigh](https://img.superchart.com/images/naebang-private-lunch-course/naebang-private-lunch-course-16-gjabw-650.webp) The black sesame aroma was so lovely, and the sweetness was not excessive at all—exactly my kind of dish. ![Black sesame gangjeong course dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/naebang-private-lunch-course/naebang-private-lunch-course-17-1ftj4-650.webp) Perilla oil buckwheat makguksu (cold buckwheat noodles) is so pretty. ![Perilla oil buckwheat makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/naebang-private-lunch-course/naebang-private-lunch-course-18-gymq5-650.webp) Once I mixed it, the perilla oil aroma really bloomed. So nutty. That was the shared portion of the lunch course. ![Shared lunch course dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/naebang-private-lunch-course/naebang-private-lunch-course-19-11ytf-650.webp) ### Grilled sablefish and lamb chops on a hot stone plate The first main was grilled sablefish. The fish was unbelievably tender—I was curious how they cooked it. I had no idea sablefish could be this delicious. Even the peas were nutty and tasty, almost like potatoes. ![Grilled sablefish with peas](https://img.superchart.com/images/naebang-private-lunch-course/naebang-private-lunch-course-20-132nl-650.webp) ![Grilled sablefish main from the lunch course](https://img.superchart.com/images/naebang-private-lunch-course/naebang-private-lunch-course-21-pd1q0-1200.webp) The second main was lamb chops. They melted butter on a hot stone plate and cooked the lamb on it, so that buttery aroma hits you first. The plate stays hot, so you can set the lamb back on it briefly and cook it a little more to your liking. ![Lamb chops served on a hot stone plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/naebang-private-lunch-course/naebang-private-lunch-course-22-1w73z-650.webp) The lamb chops were delicious with the accompanying vegetables and a little wasabi. ![Lamb chops with wasabi and accompanying vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/naebang-private-lunch-course/naebang-private-lunch-course-23-v9qa1-650.webp) ### Milk bingsu dessert with peach Dessert was the final course. I heard someone passing outside and wondered if they were bringing bingsu, and sure enough, it was patbingsu (shaved ice with red beans) with a slice of peach. ![Patbingsu dessert with peach](https://img.superchart.com/images/naebang-private-lunch-course/naebang-private-lunch-course-24-10gce-650.webp) The milk bingsu was freshly shaved, lightly flavored rather than overly sweet, and perfect for cleansing the palate. It was more filling than I expected, so I was quite full. ## Allow a full two hours for the meal The food did come out a little slowly, so I worried that the flow of the meal might be broken. But when we mentioned it, they adjusted the serving pace to match how quickly we were eating. I recommend allowing around two hours for the meal. Since it is a course meal, it is best to go with plenty of time. If you are looking for a place to enjoy a lunch course near Naebang Station, I would recommend Bistro Chai Plus. The room dining makes conversation easy, and the food lineup is substantial, so it seems like a nice choice for a blind date, a meeting between families, or a date. ## Where it is - Bistro Chai Plus (비스트로차이 플러스) (비스트로차이 플러스) - 51 Seocho-daero 27-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 서초구 서초대로27길 51 2층 - 37.4901389, 126.9935434 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B9%84%EC%8A%A4%ED%8A%B8%EB%A1%9C%EC%B0%A8%EC%9D%B4%20%ED%94%8C%EB%9F%AC%EC%8A%A4/@37.4901389,126.9935434,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@quiet-lunch-corner/naebang-private-lunch-course/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
