Goryori Ken (고료리 켄) is an omakase restaurant on the second floor of a building on Eonju-ro 152-gil in Sinsa-dong, in Seoul's Gangnam district. EatHub lists it with a one-star Michelin listing, and it is also tagged as appearing in the Netflix cooking competition Culinary Class Wars (흑백요리사). It sits just a few minutes' walk from Dosan Park, so it fits neatly into an afternoon of galleries and a special dinner.
What to order
There is nothing to choose from a menu here. EatHub lists the format simply as omakase, meaning the chef decides the sequence of dishes. Prices are marked at the top tier (₩₩₩₩), so plan this as the main splurge of your trip. Opening hours are not listed, so check its EatHub page before you go, and expect that a counter like this needs a booking in advance.
How to eat
Omakase dishes arrive one at a time in small portions. Eat each one soon after it is served, while it is at the right temperature. Tell the restaurant about allergies or foods you cannot eat when you book, not at the table. Fish, seafood, eggs and soy-based sauces may be part of the meal.
When to go
Aim for an early evening slot and use the hours before it to walk. Dosan Park, about 175 m from the restaurant, is a quiet green space, and the Dosan Ahn Chang-ho Memorial Hall is next to it. Several small galleries line the streets nearby, including Gallery Now, only a few steps from the restaurant.
Around the area
The Horim Museum Sinsa branch and White Cube Seoul are both within about 150 m. The area is calm compared with Gangnam Station, and the side streets are good for slow walking before dinner.
Nearby spots with videos
Each of these has a video on EatHub.
- Just Steak, almost next door. Steak and ribs at a mid price (₩₩). Listed hours are 11:30 to 22:00, open every day.
- Minamok (미남옥), about 230 m away. A beef soup house serving gomtang, boiled meat and a spicy offal salad (₩₩).
- Katsu by Konban (카츠바이콘반), about 250 m away. A Japanese restaurant (₩₩₩).
Practical tips
- Getting there: Take Seoul Subway Line 3 to Apgujeong Station, or the Sinbundang Line to Sinsa Station, then walk or take a short taxi ride.
- Booking: Plan ahead, and confirm the current hours and booking method on the EatHub page.
- Allergies: Omakase menus usually include fish, shellfish, egg and soy. Tell the restaurant in advance.
