The restaurant is on B1 at 40 Apgujeong-ro 10-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. It is about an eight-minute walk from Sinsa Station; I found it in the alley behind the Garosu-gil Apple Store. The original post lists its hours as 11:00–22:00. Valet parking is also available. Turn left into the Seven Eleven alley and continue for about 10 m; the black valet booth is on the left. According to the original post, valet parking was ₩4,000 for two hours. The large rose decoration at the building entrance stood out. The stairway down to the basement also had a chandelier and rose-vine decorations, giving a sense of the restaurant's atmosphere before I went in. ![Awesome Rose's rose-decorated Garosu-gil entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date-02-1t6c4-900.webp) ![Awesome Rose exterior and entrance decorations](https://img.superchart.com/images/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date-03-rxosf-900.webp) ![Roses and chandelier at Awesome Rose's basement entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date-04-1l7v1-900.webp) ## Is the atmosphere suited to a date or anniversary? The interior lighting was soft and warm without being too dark. After the rose-decorated entrance, the romantic interior made me think it would be nice for a date meal. ![Interior atmosphere at Awesome Rose Garosu-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date-05-16tqy-900.webp) ![Warm interior lighting at Awesome Rose Garosu-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date-06-q94nh-846.webp) ![Awesome Rose interior with soft lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date-07-1qb1z-900.webp) There were tables for two and four, as well as group seating for larger gatherings. Each table had fresh flowers, and the tableware and tables were neatly set. ![Table arrangement at Awesome Rose Garosu-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date-08-10tpm-m-900.webp) ![Awesome Rose table set with fresh flowers](https://img.superchart.com/images/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date-09-wa2q5-m-900.webp) There was a photo zone on one side of the restaurant, along with a photo booth where you could take black-and-white instant photos after the meal. ![Photo zone at Awesome Rose Garosu-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date-10-1sgmb-900.webp) ![Black-and-white instant photo booth inside Awesome Rose](https://img.superchart.com/images/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date-11-uz4q1-900.webp) I could also see an open-kitchen teppanyaki cooking area. You could watch the meat and vegetables being grilled. ![Teppanyaki cooking area in Awesome Rose's open kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date-12-1ig98-870.webp) ## Can you bring a cake, a child, or a pet? The amenities listed in the original post include bringing in an anniversary cake. You can light candles on it and eat it at the restaurant. High chairs are available, and pets are allowed too. On a previous visit, I even saw someone dining alone with a dog seated beside them. ## How was the pasta ordered with the steak? The dishes I chose this time were the Korean beef rose steak and rose aglio e olio. ![Menu information at Awesome Rose Garosu-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date-13-1bf0z-1200.webp) Rose aglio e olio is an oil pasta topped with edible roses. It had plenty of plump shrimp and roasted garlic, with a subtle aroma of garlic and olive oil. ![Rose aglio e olio ordered at Awesome Rose](https://img.superchart.com/images/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date-14-ieuvw-900.webp) ![Rose aglio e olio topped with edible roses](https://img.superchart.com/images/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date-15-i2yuc-900.webp) ![Oil pasta with shrimp and roasted garlic](https://img.superchart.com/images/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date-16-19938-739.webp) ![Awesome Rose oil pasta with roses](https://img.superchart.com/images/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date-17-pbrrq-763.webp) The oil sauce did not sit separately from the noodles and blended well with them. A slight spiciness and the pungency of garlic kept it from feeling rich, so I finished it feeling refreshed. ## What were the price and doneness of the Korean beef rose steak? The Korean beef rose steak is what I order whenever I come here. According to the original post, it was ₩39,000. After ordering, it was grilled on the griddle with vegetables. ![Korean beef rose steak ordered at Awesome Rose](https://img.superchart.com/images/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date-18-9bzo9-900.webp) We asked for medium-well, and it arrived at the doneness we wanted. The meat was tender, with the rich yet clean-tasting juices characteristic of Korean beef. When I had it, I felt it was satisfying for the price. ![Awesome Rose Korean beef steak grilled on a griddle](https://img.superchart.com/images/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date-19-luslw-900.webp) ![Korean beef steak ordered medium-well](https://img.superchart.com/images/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date-20-1s1tk-900.webp) It came with grilled mushrooms, potatoes, eggplant, zucchini, and tomatoes. The vegetables tasted fresh and the portion was generous, making it enjoyable to alternate them with the meat. ![Korean beef rose steak with grilled vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date-21-v0tkz-900.webp) ![Vegetable garnish served with Korean beef steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date-22-k6hby-900.webp) ## What memory did I take home after the meal? As I was paying and about to leave, the owner gave me a purple rose as a gift. It was a small gift at the end of the meal that stayed with me. ![Purple rose received after dining at Awesome Rose](https://img.superchart.com/images/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date-23-bkhnb-900.webp) Before leaving, I also took a free black-and-white photo. I was glad to preserve the time I spent laughing and talking with my child in a picture. ![Black-and-white photo taken after dining at Awesome Rose](https://img.superchart.com/images/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date-24-tlx01-m-900.webp) For this meal, I was satisfied with the Korean beef steak cooked to my requested doneness and the clean-tasting oil pasta. With its warm lighting, fresh flowers, and post-meal photo opportunity, it was a place I would think of for a date or anniversary meal in Garosu-gil. ## Where it is - Awesome Rose (어썸로즈) - 40 Apgujeong-ro 10-gil, B1, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강남구 압구정로10길 40 지하1층 - 37.5209211, 127.0220822 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%96%B4%EC%8D%B8%EB%A1%9C%EC%A6%88/@37.5209211,127.0220822,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@the-small-dish/awesome-rose-garosugil-steak-date/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
