Cafés, restaurants and places in Gangnam, Seoul, written by bloggers who went there.
Awesome Rose is a basement Western-style restaurant on Garosu-gil in Gangnam, Seoul. I ordered Brown Bread, Rose Steak Deopbap, and Rose Caprese, and especially liked pairing the Caprese with the bread. The rose-themed seats and relaxed atmosphere made conversation easy, though the route downstairs had a slight slope.
Masamgyetang Bangbaeng Sageori Branch is a ginseng chicken soup restaurant on the first floor of Seohui Starhills Officetel near Bangbaeng Sageori in Gangnam, Seoul. I tried the soup made with blended yam and found it creamy, mild, and rich, with tender chicken; parking was also convenient during my visit. It was a bright, tidy place, although this review does not assess anything beyond that visit.
Bokio Bokguk is a pufferfish soup restaurant in Gangnam, Seoul. I ate live-octopus pufferfish soup and seasoned pufferfish skin alone; the staff cut the octopus for me, and a few drops of vinegar made the clear broth more savory.
Osteria Lucia is an Italian restaurant near Hakdong Station in Gangnam, Seoul. I went with coworkers for bottarga, puttanesca, and squid ink risotto; the pasta’s doneness and the distinct texture of the risotto grains stood out, while the bright, spacious dining room made for a comfortable meal.
Divers Barbershop Gangnam-gu Office Station Branch is a men-only hair salon near Exit 2 of Gangnam-gu Office Station in Gangnam, Seoul. I went with my fiancé before our wedding photos for a cut and down perm; the stylist considered his curly hair and the shoot date, and the finished Gyle cut looked neat and suited him well.
Awesome Rose is a Western restaurant about an eight-minute walk from Sinsa Station in Gangnam, Seoul. I had the Korean beef rose steak and rose aglio e olio; the steak arrived at my requested doneness and the oil pasta stayed light. Warm lighting, fresh flowers, and a black-and-white photo booth made it well suited to a date or anniversary meal.
Masamgyetang Baengbaeng Sageori is a Korean restaurant on Dogok-ro 3-gil in Gangnam, Seoul. I tried its fresh yam samgyetang and found the broth thick yet mild, the chicken tender, and the spacious four-person tables suitable for a meal with parents.
Awesome Rose is a Western-style restaurant in Gangnam, Seoul, about an eight-minute walk from Sinsa Station Exit 8. My sister and I had the White Rose Pasta, Rose Steak Deopbap, Rose Salad, and drinks; the tender steak, crisp garlic flakes, spacious tables, and rose we received afterward stood out.
Bogi-o Boguk is a Gyeongsang-style pufferfish restaurant in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam, Seoul. My husband and I ordered clear and spicy milbok soup for ₩24,000 each; the clear broth was mild, the spicy one had a pleasant kick, and the fish was chewy. The bright, spacious dining room also seemed suitable for family meals or group gatherings.
Divers Barbershop at Gangnam-gu Office Station is a men’s barbershop in Gangnam, Seoul. My husband traded his usual two-block cut for a classic cut and light fringe perm shaped around his head. It made the areas that looked sparse less noticeable, and he found it manageable to style at home the next day.
Masamgyetang Baengbaeng Sageori Branch is a chicken restaurant on Dogok-ro 3-gil in Gangnam, Seoul, with 90 minutes of free underground parking when you dine. My family ordered two bowls of samgyetang and boneless chicken; we liked the thick, clean-finished broth, tender chicken, and tidy dining area and self-service bar.
Masamgyetang Bangbaeng Sageori Branch is a Korean restaurant near Bangbaeng Intersection in Gangnam, Seoul. I ordered the 2–3-person dakdoritang; its broth was spicy and sharp at first, then gently savory, with very soft potatoes. Rice was ordered separately, but the 90-minute free-parking notice for diners was welcome.
