Hanilgwan Apgujeong 한일관 압구정점

Hot stones placed under the main dish keep the deungsim bulgogi, thin-sliced marinated sirloin, steaming until the plate is empty, though they also make tipping the bowl for the last of the juices awkward. The bulgogi spread is the core of the menu, and with it come nakji somyeon, spicy stir-fried octopus with thin wheat noodles, and mung bean pancakes fried to order so they stay crisp. Seasoning runs mild throughout, down to the salted seafood side, and banchan arrive in individual portions. Private rooms suit family gatherings, and valet parking is standard. Prices are high, and the order of dishes can slip when the room is busy.
