The dinner tasting course (₩109,000 per person) with a hanwoo striploin upgrade (+₩38,000) ran from a Shinan green onion tart to hanwoo tteokgalbi, sea urchin gim pesto buckwheat noodles, and makgeolli ice cream. Even a companion who isn't a big Korean food fan was won over — a great pick for wedding invitation gatherings or anniversary dates. ## Good to know - **Address**: 20 Gangnam-daero 47-gil, Basement 1F, Seocho-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: 10:00 - 22:00 - **Break time**: 14:30 - 17:30 - **Last order**: 20:00 - **Dinner tasting course**: ₩109,000 per person - **Main upgrade**: Hanwoo striploin +₩38,000 (default is chicken thigh or hanwoo striploin) - **Wine pairing**: Dinner pairing course ₩51,000; one glass per person required for dinner (non-alcoholic option available) - **Lunch**: Baekban ₩32,000 / Premium baekban ₩49,000 - **Seating**: Long bar table, separate room - **Parking**: 1 hour of support offered at the time of visit *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* ![Main photo of the dinner course at MUSEO, a Korean dining restaurant near Yangjae Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course-01-bloh6-1200.webp) An honest review of MUSEO's dinner course — even my friend who isn't a big fan of Korean food was blown away. Today I'm bringing you my review of the dinner course at MUSEO in Yangjae, which I visited because I wanted a really good dinner somewhere with a great atmosphere after a long while. ![A dish from MUSEO's dinner course](https://img.superchart.com/images/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course-02-pn308-900.webp) ![A plate from MUSEO's dinner tasting course](https://img.superchart.com/images/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course-03-au37m-900.webp) ![Close-up of a dish from the MUSEO course](https://img.superchart.com/images/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course-04-r8iv3-900.webp) ![A dish from the MUSEO dinner course, including dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course-05-1mmxy-900.webp) To cut to the chase — today's number one was… ♥️ from the hanwoo tteokgalbi (Korean beef short rib patty) all the way to the seriously delicious closing ice cream 🫶🏼 (plus the hanwoo striploin main upgrade!). I finished the meal amazed at every single course — a genuine spot I'd love to come back to. ## Where MUSEO is and its hours — an easy find in Gangnam MUSEO is a sophisticated Korean dining restaurant that reinterprets Korean cuisine in a modern way, centered on seasonal ingredients. ![The entrance and sign of MUSEO near Yangjae Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course-06-k0d3y-900.webp) French-Korean? I'd call it Korean-French! It's walkable from Yangjae Station Exit 2, and being away from the busier heart of Gangnam, it was easy to enjoy at a relaxed pace. - Address: 20 Gangnam-daero 47-gil, Basement 1F, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea - Hours: 10:00 - 22:00 - Break time: 14:30 - 17:30 - Last order: 20:00 - Parking support is also available ![The basement entrance corridor leading into MUSEO](https://img.superchart.com/images/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course-07-12qwm-900.webp) ## The room and bar seating — good for Gangnam wedding invitation gatherings too The interior is a calm, sophisticated black tone with a quiet mood. ![The black-toned interior of MUSEO](https://img.superchart.com/images/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course-08-1gpl5-900.webp) It's in the basement — which gives it a bit of a hideout feel, but being underground didn't mean poor ventilation at all. The main space has a long bar table that seemed great for a date or drinking solo, and there's also a separate room with its own table. ![The long bar table seating at MUSEO](https://img.superchart.com/images/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course-09-1iz10-900.webp) It wasn't noisy, so it was easy to focus on the food and conversation — and in fact there were people in the room having a wedding invitation gathering, so it's a great spot for that too. ## The ₩109,000 dinner tasting course — what actually comes out We reserved ahead and enjoyed the dinner tasting course (₩109,000 per person). When we sat down, a course menu with our names on it was already waiting — it felt special from the very start. Next to us, someone was having a birthday dinner, and apparently MUSEO in Yangjae gives out a little something extra for birthdays too… 🫶🏼 Especially notable: my partner, who isn't usually a huge fan of Korean food, was amazed at every single moment of this course — the reinterpretation of Korean cuisine was that good. ![MUSEO's dinner course menu card with names written on it](https://img.superchart.com/images/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course-10-1reb7-900.webp) ### The start: Shinan green onion tart We started light with a Shinan green onion tart. Ahh… why do green onion and cheese go together so well 💛 ![MUSEO's Shinan green onion tart](https://img.superchart.com/images/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course-11-hwvrk-900.webp) ![The Shinan green onion tart plate, MUSEO's first course](https://img.superchart.com/images/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course-12-fj8ov-900.webp) ### First moment of amazement: steamed egg and seafood mulhoe The steamed egg is a familiar ingredient, but it felt completely different from the usual Korean-style version — I was surprised from the very first course. ![MUSEO's steamed egg topped with anchovies](https://img.superchart.com/images/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course-13-1dk8w-900.webp) Crunchy little anchovies added texture, while the egg itself was soft and fluffy, Japanese-style — the balance of textures was really good! The seafood mulhoe (cold raw fish soup) had sweet shrimp and sea squirt in it, refreshing enough that I basically drank it down. And dill, which I love so much — a spoonful of exotic aroma in the mulhoe! ### Meat cravings satisfied: hanwoo tteokgalbi ![MUSEO's hanwoo tteokgalbi served with doenjang mustard sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course-14-14sad-900.webp) This course alone was already enough to satisfy my craving for meat, thanks to how well it worked with the sauce. Doenjang mustard sauce? This is so good 🫶🏼 ![A dish continuing through the MUSEO course](https://img.superchart.com/images/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course-15-afi0z-900.webp) ![A plate from the MUSEO course](https://img.superchart.com/images/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course-16-13hez-900.webp) ### Steamed Spanish mackerel, truffle fries, and uni gim pesto buckwheat noodles Steamed Spanish mackerel, truffle fries, and gim pesto (seaweed pesto) buckwheat noodles topped with sea urchin kept coming — a series of dishes making great use of Korean ingredients. ![Steamed Spanish mackerel and other dishes from the MUSEO course](https://img.superchart.com/images/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course-17-fmkmj-900.webp) ![The course continuing on to truffle fries at MUSEO](https://img.superchart.com/images/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course-18-jvwl4-900.webp) ![MUSEO's gim pesto buckwheat noodles topped with sea urchin](https://img.superchart.com/images/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course-19-kgip0-900.webp) (I really wish the uni buckwheat noodles and the steamed mackerel were also available as standalone dishes 👍🏻) Yet another set of dishes that made me want to come back. ## Wine pairing and a complimentary glass of champagne ![A glass of MUSEO's wine pairing](https://img.superchart.com/images/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course-20-50gxl-m-900.webp) I ordered a non-alcoholic wine, and my partner had a red wine. One glass per person was required for dinner — so glad they had a non-alcoholic option! But of course, nothing beats the real thing… ^^ The red wine, paired glass by glass with the course, went perfectly with the food — with a lineup like this, the dinner pairing course (₩51,000) was very tempting. Midway through the course, we also got to try a complimentary glass of sparkling champagne. ![A complimentary glass of sparkling champagne](https://img.superchart.com/images/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course-21-406xq-900.webp) Plus, the chef at MUSEO explains the wine so well 👍🏻 ## The hanwoo striploin main upgrade (+₩38,000) — how does it compare to the chicken thigh? For the main dish that closes out the course, we could choose between chicken thigh or hanwoo striploin. We paid the extra ₩38,000 to upgrade to hanwoo striploin. ![The upgraded hanwoo striploin main dish at MUSEO](https://img.superchart.com/images/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course-22-1jc1y-900.webp) We were already full of meat from the hanwoo tteokgalbi, so it was fine, but the upgraded beef portion wasn't very large — a slight downside. That said, the quality and flavor of the meat itself were excellent. Honestly though, the chicken thigh left a stronger impression on me^^ Chicken grilled in pork fat has out-of-this-world savoriness 👍🏻🫶🏼 Paired with mung bean rice and grilled green onion kimchi? Pure happiness dopamine ♥️ ![The main dish served with mung bean rice and grilled green onion kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course-23-1w5ax-900.webp) ### The finish: makgeolli ice cream After finishing a meal I was amazed by from start to finish, the closing dessert was perfect too. Makgeolli (rice wine) ice cream… a flavor that makes you want to shamelessly ask for an encore (of course, I kept my composure haha). ![The closing dessert, makgeolli ice cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course-24-1xpak-900.webp) ## Frequently asked questions ### Is it good for a Gangnam wedding invitation gathering? Yes — there's a separate room, and the atmosphere is quiet, so I'd strongly recommend it as a Gangnam restaurant for wedding invitation gatherings. There actually were guests there for that exact purpose, and since it's a course meal, there's no need to fuss over ordering, leaving more room to focus on conversation. ### Is parking available? I was told I'd get 1 hour of parking support at the time of my visit. Parking space and support conditions may change, so it's best to check with the restaurant before visiting. ### How's the quality and price of the dinner course? The dinner tasting course is ₩109,000 per person, which is reasonable for fine dining in Gangnam — and when you factor in the food quality, atmosphere, and service, it's great value. Every course was delicious from start to finish. ## Overall verdict: a genuine favorite I'd revisit even just for lunch A quiet spot in Gangnam with a great-vibe Korean course meal — this is a place where it's worth enjoying the space and service, not just the food. Whether you're looking for a nice Gangnam course-meal date, a quiet wedding invitation gathering, or a place to treat your parents to a meal, I'd strongly recommend MUSEO. I went for dinner this time, but I liked the food so much that next time I definitely want to come back — even just for the lunch course, whether that's the baekban (Korean set meal, ₩32,000) or the premium baekban (₩49,000). A genuine favorite I'd love to revisit. ## Where it is - MUSEO (무제오) - 20 Gangnam-daero 47-gil, Basement 1F, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 서초구 강남대로47길 20 지하 1층 무제오 - 37.4887147, 127.0305821 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%AC%B4%EC%A0%9C%EC%98%A4/@37.4887147,127.0305821,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@when-hunger-calls-5/museo-yangjae-dinner-tasting-course/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
