GiwaKang 기와강
Korean restaurant

GiwaKang 기와강

Gangnam District, South Korea·4.5 (6)·₩100,000+

Nestled in Gangnam's Apgujeong-dong, GiwaKang channels the timeless synergy of earth and river into an innovative Korean fine-dining odyssey, blending everyday treasures like ganjang gejang and bibim guksu with French techniques and luxurious accents such as caviar and truffle. Chef Kang Min-chul, celebrated for his French prowess and now Michelin-recognized for "excellent cuisine," elevates housemade soy sauces smoked over straw and jujube-infused gochujang into harmonious masterpieces that awaken the palate and spirit. The elegant, modern interior-designed with warm, atomic-inspired touches across multiple floors-pairs seamlessly with an open kitchen's precision and Sommelier Jeongin Lee's curated wines, crafting a sanctuary of creativity, authenticity, and profound nourishment.
