This visit covered the ₩36,000 hanwoo bulgogi hotpot for two and perilla oil makguksu (buckwheat noodles) topped with yukhoe (raw beef), with all-domestic side dishes and good rice that made Seogyeong Hanwoo Plaza a satisfying meal before or after a show at Seoul Arts Center. Grilled cuts carry a ₩4,000 table-setting charge, so that is the plan for the next visit. ## Good to know - **Hanwoo bulgogi hotpot**: ₩36,000 for two people - **If you order grilled cuts**: ₩4,000 table-setting charge added - **How it works**: Buy meat at the butcher counter, then grill it at your table - **Location**: 9 Myeongdal-ro, B1F, Seocho-gu, Seoul (walking distance from Seoul Arts Center) - **Parking**: Free for 3 hours, large parking area - **Hours**: Daily 11:30–14:30 and 17:00–22:00 (break time in between) - **Seating**: Spacious hall, plus a separate private room for family gatherings and company dinners - **Price reference**: ₩36,000 ≈ $26 · ₩4,000 ≈ $2.9 (2026-09-22) *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* ## What kind of place is Seogyeong Hanwoo Plaza Arts Center branch? I happened to spot this place on my way toward Seoul Arts Center to catch a show. ![Seogyeong Hanwoo Plaza Arts Center branch spotted on the way to Seoul Arts Center](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles-01-1fuly-900.webp) It was 'Seogyeong Hanwoo Plaza Arts Center branch,' a directly-run butcher restaurant operated by the Seoul-Gyeonggi Hanwoo Cooperative. It had recently opened, so I was even more curious. ![Entrance of the butcher restaurant directly run by the Seoul-Gyeonggi Hanwoo Cooperative](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles-02-hi02s-900.webp) If you're searching for restaurants near Seoul Arts Center like I was, this is probably a name that's come up before — so here's my honest review after actually visiting. ![Interior of Seogyeong Hanwoo Plaza Arts Center branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles-03-6l98y-900.webp) This place operates as a butcher restaurant — you buy the meat directly at the in-store butcher counter, then grill it right at your table. ![In-store hanwoo butcher counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles-04-jmn8u-966.webp) The biggest advantage is that you can enjoy fresh hanwoo at a reasonable price, with no middleman distribution markup. ![Hanwoo cuts displayed at the butcher counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles-05-1tyok-900.webp) The location is great for a quick stop before or after a performance, and I could see why it's gaining a reputation as a go-to restaurant near Seoul Arts Center. ![Interior view of the hanwoo restaurant near Seoul Arts Center](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles-06-9ki9w-900.webp) ![Table seating in the main hall of Seogyeong Hanwoo Plaza](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles-07-1s54u-900.webp) ![Table set up and ready for the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles-08-19fyu-900.webp) ## Rice and side dishes: a domestic-ingredient spread What surprised me right from the start of the meal was how good the rice was. The rice was tasty enough on its own that you could happily eat it with just the basic side dishes haha!! ![Rice and basic side dishes on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles-09-ixev5-900.webp) ![Kimchi and side dishes made with domestic ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles-10-1n1e9-900.webp) I'm pretty sensitive about ingredients, so I also appreciated that all the side dishes, including the kimchi, were made with domestic ingredients — I could eat with peace of mind. ![Close-up of a side dish plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles-11-cl2ka-900.webp) ![Full view of the basic table spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles-12-1lozu-900.webp) ## Hanwoo bulgogi hotpot, ₩36,000 for two I was debating whether to just grill meat, but I was craving something with broth, so I went with the hanwoo bulgogi hotpot. ![Hanwoo bulgogi hotpot for two on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles-13-d7nhs-900.webp) At ₩36,000 for two servings, every ingredient in it was fresh, and the broth — not salty, but light and clean — kept me coming back for more. ![Hanwoo bulgogi hotpot simmering](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles-14-tb3fp-900.webp) It's not overly seasoned, so it's a dish you could comfortably enjoy with kids or parents in tow. ![Hotpot broth served alongside rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles-15-19ze6-900.webp) ## Perilla oil makguksu topped with yukhoe Scanning the menu, what caught my eye was the perilla oil buckwheat noodles. ![A bowl of perilla oil buckwheat noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles-16-1og7p-900.webp) The nutty perilla oil aroma combined with the chewy texture of the buckwheat noodles for a genuinely upscale flavor. ![Perilla oil buckwheat noodles topped with yukhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles-17-3rduc-1200.webp) The yukhoe (raw seasoned beef) on top delivered flavor purely through its freshness, without any extra seasoning. ![Close-up of the yukhoe topping on the noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles-18-jpdyz-900.webp) ## Grilled cuts next time, and the ₩4,000 table-setting charge This time I focused on the noodles and the hotpot, but being a proper butcher restaurant, the grilled cuts like hanwoo sirloin and striploin get good reviews too, so I'm planning to try the grill-it-yourself course on my next visit. Note that this adds a ₩4,000 table charge. I heard a lot of guests order the yukhoe bibimbap too, and just thinking about it is making my mouth water. ## The hall, the private room and the service The space felt comfortable thanks to the spacious hall, and there was also a separate private room suited for family gatherings or company dinners. ![Private room used for family gatherings and company dinners](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles-19-1dskm-900.webp) ![Seating arrangement in the spacious hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles-20-1tbcx-900.webp) I came at a somewhat awkward mealtime, but the serving staff were friendly and attentive throughout, which made the whole meal comfortable. ![Table at the end of the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles-21-1xak0-900.webp) ![Interior passageway and seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles-22-nw84c-900.webp) ![Atmosphere inside Seogyeong Hanwoo Plaza Arts Center branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles-23-13dsl-900.webp) ## Location, parking and hours near Seoul Arts Center - Location: 9 Myeongdal-ro, Seocho-gu, Seoul (walking distance from Seoul Arts Center) - Parking: Free for 3 hours, with ample large parking space - Hours: Daily 11:30–14:30, 17:00–22:00 (break time in between) ![Exterior sign of Seogyeong Hanwoo Plaza Arts Center branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles-24-1m7zn-900.webp) If you're looking for a good restaurant near Seoul Arts Center to visit before or after a show, I'd recommend Seogyeong Hanwoo Plaza. ## Where it is - Seogyeong Hanwoo Plaza Arts Center branch (서경한우프라자 예술의전당점) - 9 Myeongdal-ro, B1F, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 서초구 명달로 9 지하1층 - 37.478582, 127.006268 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%84%9C%EA%B2%BD%ED%95%9C%EC%9A%B0%ED%94%84%EB%9D%BC%EC%9E%90%20%EC%98%88%EC%88%A0%EC%9D%98%EC%A0%84%EB%8B%B9%EC%A0%90/@37.478582,127.006268,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@warm-broth-hours/seogyeong-hanwoo-plaza-perilla-noodles/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
