For travelers looking for the best Korean BBQ in Seoul, Seolya Galbi Cheongdam is a Hanwoo galbi option in Gangnam with staff grilling at the table. The meal is ordered by individual dishes rather than assumed to be a fixed-price course. Match the food to the group's preferences and confirm any seating request with the booking.

Choosing dishes for this dinner

Whisky and wine do not share the same corkage rule. A host can avoid an unexpected bill by separating the bottle policy from the food budget.

Seolya currently lists whisky corkage at KRW 50,000 per bottle. Decide on the galbi cuts separately from the number of bottles. Include the preferences of guests who are not drinking and their plans for getting home.

Record the whisky bottle count before combining it with food costs. Bringing a bottle and ordering from the restaurant's drinks menu are separate choices for the group.

Menu points to keep separate

The current listing for top-grade unmarinated galbi is KRW 63,000 for 100g boneless weight. Prices are in Korean won and include VAT as listed. The signature Hanwoo galbi uses boneless weight. Marinated and unmarinated options have different prices; the Sunday bone-in galbi products have separate weights and minimum orders, so their labels are not interchangeable.

Directions and meeting points

A broad district name is not enough for a final destination. Use 18 Seolleung-ro 152-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and record any station meeting point separately from the restaurant address.

The restaurant describes an approximately six-minute walk from Exit 4 of Apgujeong Rodeo Station. Choose the booking time for the actual departure point and travel method. Discussing top-grade unmarinated galbi and the other first-order candidates before setting off leaves fewer decisions to make when the group reaches the table. Traffic-dependent journeys need their own timing.

Booking and location

Current dinner hours are 17:30-22:00, with last orders at 21:00. Online booking covers two to six guests; groups of seven or more should call +82-2-6941-1179. Lunch is temporarily paused. Use 서울 강남구 선릉로152길 18 as the Korean-language destination for a driver.
