Korean BBQ in Seoul: an anniversary for two, finishing dishes after the grill | Seolya Galbi

For travelers looking for 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

An anniversary dinner is easier to plan when the couple agrees on the kind of meal before adding dishes. A preference for marinated beef does not have to override the other person's interest in an unmarinated cut.

At Seolya, marinated galbi and top-grade unmarinated galbi can be considered separately. Decide which cut matters most, then choose the weight to order. A request for a private room is a separate part of the reservation, including the conditions for a party of two.

For two guests, a room request also needs the small-party conditions. The published two-to-three-person charge is KRW 40,000, with room-specific spending waivers.

Finishing dishes after the grill

An extra cut of beef and a finishing dish are different decisions. The current menu includes gomtang, broth buckwheat noodles, perilla oil mixed buckwheat noodles, whole crab soybean paste stew and rice.

After the group has eaten some Seolya Marinated Galbi, ask whether it wants soup, rice or noodles. Each has its own price and ingredients; none should be assumed to arrive automatically with every grill order. If dessert is part of the evening, discuss that before adding more finishing dishes. Specific food restrictions belong in the ordering conversation.

Menu points to keep separate

The current listing for Seolya Marinated Galbi is KRW 59,000 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.

Booking and location

Seolya Galbi Cheongdam occupies two floors at 18 Seolleung-ro 152-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The restaurant lists 88 seats and three private rooms. Send any hall or room request with the total party size rather than assuming that a standard booking assigns a specific room.
