A Hanwoo beef tasting-course restaurant on the second basement level of Jongno 11-gil 18, near Jonggak Station, described as the second venture from Yeouido's Sutimoon. Dinner runs as three courses (Bohwa, Yeonghwa, Hohwa); the only prices given are 199,000 won per person for the Hohwa course and 59,000 won for the bulgogi hot-pot lunch set. Every table is in a private room, and the courses move through brisket porridge, tartare, grilled rib with mushrooms, pot rice and perilla-oil noodles. We read 17 posts dated 25 August to 8 October 2026; 7 were about this place and 5 describe a visit, all written 3 to 8 October, right after opening.

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.
These hours are counted from the posts we read. Shops change them without notice — check Naver Place before you go.

What sets it apart
- Every seat is in a private room. All five visit posts ate in one, and one said the dining space is 100% rooms. No post mentions an open dining hall.
- Staff cook the bulgogi at your table. Three posts said so: one was asked whether to add the potato noodles now or ring for them later, one said the broth kept being topped up, and one said the staff did all of it.
- One post brought a bottle of wine under a no-corkage policy and was given an ice bucket. Another said they should have asked about corkage, so it left the question open.

Getting inside
| In a basement | 1 of 5 posts |
|---|
No one wrote about steps at the entrance or wheelchair or stroller access, and we don't know about a lift; one post mentions only an escalator.
No one said where the toilets are or whether they are separated by gender. That means unknown, not absent.
No one mentioned: Second floor · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. 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 8 posts we gathered, 3 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
- Four posts called the staff kind. But one said its booking, arranged in advance with a manager, had gone missing and they stood waiting a long time while staff checked; the same post said the bulgogi took about 20 minutes after being seated. All of this is from the first week of opening.
- Two posts said it is a short walk from Jonggak Station, and one said you take the escalator down; the restaurant is on the second basement level.
- No post mentions queuing; visitors appear to have booked, and this was right after opening, so we can't say how it will go later.
- Only one post said who they went with: family, for a parent's birthday. Many posts suggest dates, business dinners or anniversaries, but we don't know who most visitors actually went with.
- Four posts copied the same hours, Tuesday to Saturday 11:30 to 21:30, and three add a 15:00 to 17:00 break with last orders at 20:30. The Sunday and Monday closure was given by three posts as an October 2026 notice, so we don't know the closing days after that.
- Only two prices appear: 199,000 won for the Hohwa course and 59,000 won for the bulgogi lunch set. Nobody gave prices for the Bohwa or Yeonghwa courses. One post called it a pricey fine-dining spot.
- Two posts list the phone number 0507-1324-1774. One post says it booked ahead; no one described how to reserve.
- Three posts about this place were not counted: two are promotional write-ups by kitchen-equipment suppliers who installed gear here, and one names no dishes or prices and describes a spacious hall with well-spaced tables, which doesn't match the all-private-room layout, so we did not treat it as a visit.
