shokudokai

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 “Sea Restaurant” with clean food, drinks, and a warm atmosphere Reservations are required and good for an early evening drink.

4.60 (61 reviews) (~4.59 km from centre)

Ariake

Japanese restaurant

👍 Known as one of the oldest high-end omakase places in Korea, Ariake is probably the ultimate destination for omakase enthusiasts. Since their omakase reservations are only available via phone and get sold out in minutes, it was nearly impossible to make a reservation while being outside the country....

Kaisendong Unido

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 While I was waiting for my food, a small bug passed by on the table, so I killed it. It looked like a fly even while I was eating it, but when I sat down to eat my raw fish, I killed it. But it was delicious!! The raw fish were all fresh. I thought it smelled a bit like uni, but it wasn't that bad....

4.50 (110 reviews) (~6.54 km from centre)

Goryori Ken

Japanese restaurant

😐 I visited with very low expectations, perhaps because I had heard ambiguous reviews from people around me. The soup and sauces were unexpectedly delicious, but the quality of each ingredient was not up to par with sushi restaurants. It's also unfortunate that too many overlapping materials are used....

4.40 (31 reviews) (~5.26 km from centre)

The Timber House Park Hyatt Seoul

Bar

👍👍 I went in without thinking, it was a very good mood. I ate dinner and didn't eat much food. I ordered pork cutlet sandwiches and tacos. But what was better than the food was that the bartender with my favorite old-fashioned cocktail made it so well that I ate seven of them. I'll accept the name of...

압구정하루

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Korean style donkatsu and soba. Reasonable price and very fast serving. Especially, soba’s sause was nice.

Hakone

Japanese restaurant

👍 Meal budget per person (without drinks) Category 3 (over 120000 KRW, 100 USD) The restaurant is located on the Lobby Floor of the hotel and was listed onto Michelin 2020 and awarded Wine Spectator Excellence 2021. It is impressive that the indoor garden is built in the center to recreate the nature...

Yunkyung

Japanese restaurant

😐 Japanese restaurant with beautiful atmosphere and interior Is the food neat and clean? It's not so delicious that you can't help but admire it. It's a bit pricey, but the staff is friendly. It's great for a date because you feel like you're being treated well! Futomaki had a lot of ingredients and w...

Kauri, 322 Sowol-ro

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 This is an updated review based on my Keluga Queen omakase meal in November 2023. I've written several past reviews that became increasingly bad. I'm a member of the gym at the Grand Hyatt, a Hyatt Globalist, and live 3 min walk from the hotel, so I'm at the hotel a lot and had the omakase here prob...

Tamgwang

Japanese restaurant

😐 There is a bit of a wait. Order at the kiosk. The taste is pretty good. I am uploading a photo of the finished product. The materials used can almost be expressed on napkins. And it can be confusing with the store next door. The store information on the basement level was posted on the window of thi...

Ultraman Izakaya • 울트라맨 이자카야 • ウルトラマン居酒屋

Pub

👍👍 The owner provides good service and the space is not noisy.
