Muoki is chef Park Moo-hyun's tasting-menu restaurant on the second floor of 12-12 Hakdong-ro 55-gil in Gangnam. The only choice is lunch or dinner; posts from September–October 2026 put them at 160,000 and 260,000 won, and six posts say both rise by 20,000 won from November. The main is a Hanwoo striploin steak, which 19 of the 20 diners wrote about eating. We read 30 posts from 12 January 2025 to 18 October 2026: 20 are visits, the other 10 are Michelin or Seoul-guide listings.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- The kitchen is open: ten posts mention watching the cooks, and four sat at the bar facing it. One diner booked late and only bar seats were left.
- Parking is valet at the door. Five posts used it, and every one that gave a price said 4,000 won, one noting you pay afterwards. Two diners mention driving.
- It is walkable from Gangnam-gu Office station: two posts say three minutes from exit 4, one says right by the station. One describes a short climb and descent along an alley to the building.
- Fifteen posts booked ahead, mostly through CatchTable. Two found it easy to get a table; one got a full weekend only via a cancellation alert, and one had to book the Christmas slot the moment it opened. One post notes a 100,000-won-per-person deposit, fully refundable up to the day.
1 more
- It is an anniversary place: ten of the 20 visits were couples, two were family outings and two were with friends. Many posts mention the dessert lettering you can request in advance; one says the wording is chosen from a few set phrases.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
From the station
It is walkable from Gangnam-gu Office station: two posts say three minutes from exit 4, one says right by the station. One describes a short climb and descent along an alley to the building.
Getting inside
| Second floor | 9 of 20 posts |
|---|---|
| Lift to the floor | 6 of 20 posts |
| Separate restrooms | yes 0 · no 2 (of 20 posts read) |
It is on the second floor. Nine posts describe going up, and six took the lift; two say staff greet you as the lift doors open. Two posts mention a private room up a short stair on a half-level — one says it takes six or more with a room charge, the other, a family of five, watched the open kitchen through its glass.
No one mentions a step at the door or wheelchair or stroller access; we only know there is a lift.
Nobody says whether the toilet is inside the restaurant or out in the building.
Two posts say the toilet is unisex, one adding it is single-occupancy. Three mention real hand towels and mouthwash laid out.
No one mentioned: In a basement · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 30 posts we gathered, 10 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- Views on spacing split: one post calls the room spacious, three say tables are closer than expected. A Christmas Eve 2024 diner could hear the next table and the kitchen chatter.
- Prices depend on when people went. One April 2026 post, visit date unstated, paid 140,000 won for lunch with an Iberico main and 30,000 won extra for Hanwoo. September–October 2026 posts give 160,000 won lunch and 260,000 won dinner with Hanwoo included, rising to 180,000 and 280,000 in November. Three posts call it expensive, two call it fair for one Michelin star, one is mixed.
- No one queued — but every visitor had a booking, so this means we have no walk-in accounts, not that there is never a wait.
- Six posts ordered wine. The signature pairing is listed at 180,000 won in one post and 220,000 won (four glasses 160,000) in another. A 100,000-won-per-bottle corkage fee appears only in copied info boxes, so we don't rely on it.
- Seven posts list the same opening hours — Monday to Saturday 12:00–22:00, break 15:00–18:00, closed Sunday — but all are copied info boxes, not first-hand. One diner was let in ten minutes before opening.
- Three listing posts give the phone number as 010-2948-4171; two copied info boxes give 0507-1394-4171. Most people booked on CatchTable, and two posts say raw fish is cooked if you tell them in advance.
