Why visit
- Samwon Garden is a substantial sit-down Korean meal in Gangnam, with barbecue, mixed-dish lunches and garden scenery. Choose it when you want time to sample several dishes with a companion. Hanwoo—Korean beef—is the premium draw, while the lunch-set route offers a broader introduction to Korean flavours.autoreserve+2
Barbecue or a varied lunch
- The menu listed on AutoReserve includes Samwon Traditional Seasoned Short Ribs and fresh Korean beef ribs: a useful choice between seasoned meat and a cut without the marinade. In an April 2026 account, The Ordinary Patrons ordered Hanwoo ribeye. Their server cooked and portioned it over charcoal; they found it tender but less distinctive in flavour than expected, especially at ₩95,000 for 130g.autoreserve+1
- The same diners chose two weekday lunch sets: soy-marinated crab with soybean-paste stew, and bulgogi with cold buckwheat noodles. Bulgogi is thinly sliced, marinated beef; theirs was slightly sweet, while the cold noodles gave a refreshing contrast. The crab had soft flesh and a concentrated crab flavour, and the stew was strongly seasoned and quite spicy. These combinations suit two people wanting different tastes in one meal.ordinarypatrons
A meal with room to linger
- Their weekday lunch was bustling without being full, in a large modern building beside a traditional Korean-style wing. Outside were a koi pond, fountains and a wooden water wheel. The setting adds an occasion to the meal; the restaurant also lists private rooms with an extra ₩30,000 charge, useful to check if your group wants its own space.ordinarypatrons+1
