Goryori Ken

Tucked away on the second floor of a discreet Gangnam building, Goryori Ken captivates with its cozy, modern sushi-bar ambiance, where just eight seats at the chef's counter offer front-row intimacy to Chef Kim Geon's masterful alchemy of hyper-seasonal ingredients. Each dish, from velvety potato soup with spring octopus to umami-rich tuna tartare crowned with caviar and grilled freshwater eel in crustacean sauce, bursts with innovative harmony and artistic precision, earning its coveted one Michelin star for high-quality cooking. This beloved haven since 2017 elevates Seoul's culinary scene, pairing exquisite rice and rare sakes from small Japanese breweries into an unforgettable omakase journey that celebrates creativity and care.
