Cafés, restaurants and places in Seocho, Seoul, written by bloggers who went there.
Dameun (담은) is a Korean pub in the basement of Banpo Shopping Town 4, just outside Express Bus Terminal Station in Seocho, Seoul. I shared a seven-item jeon platter and sous-vide pork belly suyuk with Mungyeong omija takju; the moist pork loin yukjeon stood out, and the softly lit, slightly dark interior suited a quiet conversation.
Dakgalbijeon Gangnam Branch is a dakgalbi restaurant on the second floor of Gangnam Dioville near Sinnonhyeon Station in Seocho, Seoul. I visited with my mother, ordered the two-person Gamssadak set with udon noodles and flying-fish-roe steamed egg, and finished with fried rice. The udon noodles arrived late, but the dakgalbi and fried rice felt more generous than expected.
Lamoon Brow is a semi-permanent makeup studio in Seocho, Seoul, near Gangnam Station. I chose a coral gradient lip treatment to counter my purple-toned lips; it was painful despite numbing cream and initially looked swollen, but I liked the color with only lip balm the next day.
Minjei Makeup Eyebrow Grooming, Gangnam Seocho Branch is a shop-in-shop eyebrow studio near Gangnam Station in Seocho, Seoul. I visited the day before my wedding photo shoot for a consultation, natural brow shaping, and brow makeup. I liked learning a shape, color, and at-home routine that suited my face.
Gyodaepae (교대패) is a Korean barbecue restaurant near Exit 9 of Gyodae Station in Seoul’s Seocho-gu. I ordered the Gyodaepae Set with fresh chilled thin-sliced pork belly, pork neck, steamed egg, and fried rice, and found the meat quick to cook without becoming dry.
Yuk Tongryeong Gyodae Direct Store is a Korean barbecue restaurant between Gyodae Station and Nambu Bus Terminal Station in Seoul’s Seocho district. I had samgyeopsal and moksal with a friend after work; the tender, thick-cut moksal stood out, while the parking area was usable but small.
Comedor16 (꼬메도르16) is a Spanish restaurant in a quiet alley in Yangjae-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul. I visited for a wedding invitation gathering and tried pulpo, squid ink paella, and sirloin cream mafaldine. The relaxed tables and warm lighting made conversation easy, and the tender octopus and textured paella stood out.
Lamoon Brow is a semi-permanent lip makeup studio in Seocho, Seoul, near Gangnam Station. I had my first session to address my dark lip tone and asymmetry, and was happy with the healthier-looking color after about five days, though the second touch-up is still pending.
Dakgalbijeon Gangnam Branch is a dakgalbi restaurant about four minutes on foot from Sinnonhyeon Station in Seocho, Seoul. I had the two-person cheese dakgalbi and perilla-leaf potato pancake set with udon noodles and cheese fried rice; the wraps and roomy table spacing were highlights, though window seats were full and extras had to be ordered upfront.
Minjei Makeup Eyebrow Grooming, Gangnam Seocho Branch is an eyebrow-grooming studio about five minutes’ walk from Gangnam Station. I received a consultation on my face shape, eye shape, and brow asymmetry, followed by grooming and guidance on brow makeup and at-home care. The orderly tools, clean space, and practical aftercare explanation stood out.
Gyodaepae (교대패) is a thin-sliced pork restaurant about a five-minute walk from Exit 14 of Gyodae Station in Seoul. I ordered the 500 g Gyodaepae Set with cold-fresh pork belly, pork neck, and thin-sliced pork belly. The meat cooked quickly, and I enjoyed the rich pork belly alongside the milder pork neck.
Yuk Tongnyeong Gyodae Branch is a pork restaurant about a one-minute walk from Exit 14 of Gyodae Station in Seoul’s Seocho district. I ordered three servings of ogyeopsal, and the staff grilled them over charcoal; the tender meat, chewy fat, omija sauce, and unlimited rice stood out, though the visit details come from the reviewed original.
