Kota by Dyeon 코타바이뎐

Bokbunja (black raspberry) aperitif and a welcome card with your name open a long course that moves from cold plates to hot ones and ends with dried pollack soup and dessert. The sinseon party dish comes with a tableside performance, and other plates fold Korean ingredients into techniques from elsewhere: a live lobster roll, hanwoo striploin yukjeon (egg-battered beef slices), black cod jeon and LA-style galbi. Sauces and seasoning lean sweet overall, which suits dry wine or Korean traditional liquor; ordering a drink is required. Low lighting and well-spaced tables set an anniversary mood. It opened in 2018, sits 350m from Apgujeong Rodeo Station and offers valet parking.
