ALPERO

알페로 Alpero

Compiled from 25 blog posts read in fullSources →

Alpero is a steak-and-pasta restaurant on the second floor of the Nine Brick Hotel, between Hongik Univ. and Hapjeong stations. The menu centres on sets that pair a chuck-flap, tenderloin, T-bone or tomahawk steak with bread, soup or salad and a pasta; 14 of the 25 visit posts ordered the chuck-flap (salchi) set. That set was 64,000 won in December 2024, 65,000 won in late 2025 and 71,000 won from February 2026; pastas run 18,000–24,000 won. We read 30 posts from December 2024 to September 2026: 25 describe a visit, 4 only introduce the place, and 1 was about a different restaurant and was set aside.

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

  1. Size is the most repeated point: 15 posts call the room spacious, one counting about twenty tables. Nine call it quiet, crediting the wide spacing between tables. Three posts saw or used the private room, said to seat up to twelve.
  2. The window side is a glass-roofed, greenhouse-like terrace. Five posts sat there or saw it, one noting the whole ceiling is clear glass; 10 mention daylight through the big windows and 4 the high ceiling. Three winter posts mention heaters set among the tables.
  3. 13 of the 25 visit posts booked ahead, via Naver or CatchTable, some explicitly to avoid queuing for a weekend lunch. Bookings can specify hall, terrace or private room.
  4. Most posts find it good value: 11 say so, one comparing it favourably with Outback. One post was surprised by how pricey it was. A five-person lunch came to 294,000 won including deposit in one post.
2 more
  1. Reviews and Naver saves earn freebies: 5 posts got one or saw the offer on the menu, typically an affogato or the fried potatoes with chipotle mayo; one got tomato arancini for booking through Naver.
  2. Tables are time-limited, listed as 90 minutes at lunch and 2 hours at dinner. Two posts experienced it and disliked it, one saying it is tight for wine. A September 2026 post was told it was one dish per person at weekends; no other post mentions that rule.

Parking

2 posts say you can park. None say you cannot.

Posts saying you can park2 of 25 posts

Many posts copy that parking is hotel valet into a parking tower. Two experienced it; one paid 3,000 won for two hours at the ground-floor counter. Several note the surface lot is small.

Where it is

Map showing where ALPERO 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

3 posts say it is walkable from the station.

Getting inside

Second floor10 of 25 posts
In a basementyes 0 · no 10 (of 25 posts read)
Lift to the floor11 of 25 posts

You reach it by lift: 11 posts mention taking the elevator and 10 note the second floor. Posts describe a dedicated entrance for the restaurant and a lift that goes straight to it, so you don't have to pass through the hotel lobby.

Eleven posts mention the lift, but none says whether there is a step at the door or whether a wheelchair or stroller got in.

No post says where the toilets are; separate men's and women's toilets appear only in one copied info block.

No one mentioned: 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 29 posts we gathered, 4 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

  • Speed is split: 2 posts say the steak was slow to come, 2 say service was quick. Both slow reports had the pasta arrive first and the steak well after.
  • Portions are split: 4 posts found them generous, one couple too full for dinner after one set; 2 found them small.
  • Five posts call the steak tender and juicy, but one found its medium chuck-flap tough. A February 2026 family post found the food ordinary, reminiscent of a chain, and won't return; 4 posts say they have been more than once.
  • Prices went up between December 2025 and February 2026: the chuck-flap set from 65,000 to 71,000 won, the T-bone set from 121,000 (December 2024) to 142,000 won, and the standalone chuck-flap steak from 39,000 to 45,000 won.
  • All opening hours are copied from listings: 19 posts agree on 11:30–21:30 with a 15:00–17:00 break and last orders at 14:10 and 20:40. Posts up to July 2026 say open every day; three from August 2026 say closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Check by phone (0507-1362-6387) or the booking page before going.
  • Three posts walked from Hongik Univ. Station exit 9, putting it at 5, 7–8 and 10 minutes; one says it is a bit of a walk. The identical directions repeated across many posts come from the restaurant's own listing and were not counted.
  • No post describes queuing. That is not proof there is none: 13 of the 25 visits were booked. One post notes waiting seats by the entrance.
  • Much of the coverage is promotional: one post discloses sponsorship, seven say they paid, the rest are silent. Several reuse the same blurb and directions, four still carry a pasted review-count widget, and four introduction-only posts were not counted.
