KwonSookSoo
Korean restaurant

KwonSookSoo

Gangnam District, South Korea·4.5 (502)·₩100,000+

Nestled in the heart of Gangnam, KwonSookSoo captivates with its elegant reimagining of classic Korean dishes, where molecular gastronomy meets heritage in exquisitely presented courses that burst with seasonal brilliance-from tender abalone kissed by aged soy to delicate blue crab tofu enveloped in savory broths. The atmosphere hums with sophisticated poise, featuring polished service and a dessert trolley brimming with traditional sweets like chewy Gaeseong Juak, offering an enchanting finale to every meal. This two-star Michelin gem, celebrated in the 2025 Guide, invites discerning travelers to savor Korea's profound culinary soul through innovative banchan, marinated lamb, and pot rice that whisper of mountains and seas, making it an unmissable haven for those seeking cultural elegance on a plate.
