YUN

YUN offers familiar Korean dishes with bold twists. Its nutty-flavored perilla oil noodles featuring housemade Korean wheat noodles, various house-aged fish dishes, and newly added umami-rich Korean beef offerings – all hint at the culinary direction the chef is headed towards. With a relocation from Mapo to Gangnam, this restaurant has expanded and renovated its dining hall, which now exudes elegant yet striking vibes. Come to Yun Seoul and experience the precision and audacity that are rarely found in ordinary Korean cuisine.
