Which floor is it on? Outside and inside the restaurant
Ddeum is on the 1st floor of the Geumcheon Lotte Castle 3rd complex. First-timers might get confused — this building labels its floors as lobby, 1st floor, and 2nd floor, so what's normally the 2nd floor is actually the '1st floor' here! So after entering the complex, take the elevator or escalator up one more floor.
At the entrance I noticed a poster for their 3rd anniversary thank-you event! The lunch discounts are pretty solid — hanwoo haejangguk (beef hangover soup) for ₩8,900, yukhoe (beef tartare) or cockle bibimbap for ₩10,900 — so lunch here seems like a great option too.
The entrance is covered with hanwoo grading charts! Ddeum Sukseong Hanwoo only uses No.9 grade beef, the very top tier within the highest 1++ classification 🥩 The carefully aged beef is grilled tableside by staff in a semi-omakase style, so I was already excited just from the entrance haha
The interior overall felt clean and upscale. The tables aren't cramped together, and there's a coat hanger area on one side so you can dine comfortably.
In the middle of the restaurant there's a long bar table, and the soft lighting really brings out that semi-omakase mood. I think it'd be perfect for a cozy date or an anniversary dinner haha
Menu prices and the banchan side dishes
Here's the Ddeum Sukseong Hanwoo menu 📋 As you'd expect from a dedicated hanwoo restaurant, all sorts of cuts are on offer.
The basic side dishes and sauces were a solid lineup, every single one pairing perfectly with rich hanwoo!
What comes free with a dinner visit: three complimentary dishes
If you visit Ddeum Sukseong Hanwoo No.9 in the evening, you get a three-dish service worth ₩25,000 — plain sushi rice, ankimo (monkfish liver), and cockle salad. Even though it's a complimentary service, the composition and quality were genuinely impressive.
The ankimo had zero fishiness and was insanely rich and nutty!
Especially good was topping this sushi rice with the creamy ankimo and a touch of wasabi, or piling on some well-grilled hanwoo to make a hanwoo sushi bite — an absolute delicacy ⭐
What's in the Hanwoo Special Set 500g at 145,000 won?

The gorgeous meat arrives ✨ The moment the staff member brought it out, I couldn't help but go wow haha. Isn't that color just stunning?!?!
At each table, a staff member grills the meat from start to finish over a charcoal brazier 🔥 They professionally grill it to exactly the right doneness, so all you have to do is chat and wait.
Can you see the reddish cross-section and all that packed-in juiciness? It just melts in your mouth the moment you take a bite — writing this makes me want to eat it again 😂
It's delicious dipped in salt, but I also tried making hanwoo sushi by placing a well-cooked piece of meat and a dab of wasabi on top of the plain sushi rice from the service!
Wrapping it in the myeongi namul (mountain garlic leaf) side dish with a dab of wasabi was also amazing..🤎 The meat itself is so good that it's a win no matter how you eat it haha. Thanks to the staff grilling every last piece with care, I got to fully enjoy the best possible flavor.
Is Ddeum Sukseong Hanwoo No.9 worth it?
Looking at all the autographs covering the entrance wall, this is clearly already a hotspot that plenty of celebrities have discovered! The moment I took my first bite of Ddeum Sukseong Hanwoo, I understood exactly why so many well-known faces line up here 🥩 Between the meat melting in my mouth and the varied side dish combinations, every bite was a joy from start to finish. If you want to taste real, properly aged hanwoo, you should definitely visit at least once! I'm already planning to come back again soon 🥰
