Changgo 43 Yeoksam-jeom
창고43 역삼점 Changgo means warehouse; none of the posts we read says what the 43 stands for. It is a premium Korean-beef grill chain where the staff do the grilling for you, and this is the Yeoksam branch, on the ground floor of an office tower between Yeoksam and Seolleung stations.

Data as of · Published ·
Changgo 43 Yeoksam is a Korean-beef grill house on the ground floor of an office tower on Teheran-ro, between Yeoksam and Seolleung stations — Seolleung is the nearer of the two, five or six minutes' walk from exit 4 by two accounts. It belongs to a chain with branches across the country, and one post says this one is company-run. A hall sits in the middle with private rooms around the walls, and almost every post we read booked a room, for a work dinner, a family birthday or entertaining clients. Staff grill everything for you on a heavy iron plate, and pull the beef apart along the grain with a scraper rather than snipping it with scissors. Half past eleven until ten, every day, with a break in the afternoon. Fifty to seventy thousand won a head, and not one post calls that cheap. The posts we read run from July 2025 to September 2026.

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
- Being grilled for is the point of this place, and nearly every post we read is partly about it. The iron plate is heated and greased, the beef goes on, and then — this is what people describe — it is pulled apart along the grain with a scraper rather than cut with scissors, too fast for one writer's camera. Cooked pieces are moved onto a bed of potatoes at the edge of the plate. The refrain is that nobody has to break off the conversation to cook, which one writer says counts for a lot at a dinner where the ranks are mixed. But two complaints concern the pace. One writer, while grateful, felt hurried, and wished the grilling would keep time with the eating; another found too much of her platter overcooked and tough. Two note that the thin plate cooks fast and you must eat fast — one of them calling it beef you cannot linger over.
- The most repeated observation here is not about the beef but about the height of the room. Nine writers describe it in their own words — never having seen a grill house on this scale, the mirrored ceiling and the sense of openness under it, one of them thinking she had walked into a hotel. One post says what that changes in a place where meat is grilled at the table: no smoke problem, no closed-in feeling. Two who sat in the private rooms report the opposite effect, the ceiling seeming higher for the walls around it. It is presumably what comes of occupying a whole ground floor of an office tower — and yet only one post calls the place large, the one where thirty people were seated across two halls. Height and floor space are different things, and it is height these posts are describing.
- People come here for the rooms. Several posts describe a hall in the middle with private rooms ranged around the walls, and even the hall divided by high partitions. The reasons for taking a room are specific: meeting the in-laws, entertaining clients, a department dinner, a parent's birthday — and bringing a child, twice, so as to eat without watching the next table. One writer notes a wardrobe inside the room; another that the lighting in room eleven could be dimmed to taste. The party of thirty was split across two halls. Not one post counts the seats — how many rooms there are, or how many each holds, nobody writes.
- Nobody calls it cheap. The prices in these posts run ₩54,000 for 150g of the signature platter, ₩65,000 for 130g of prime tenderloin, ₩75,000 for 130g of the marbled cut or 150g of sirloin, ₩72,000 for another cut. Two posts give a total: ₩460,000 for six, and a ₩330,000 family set for four with more beef added on top. Writers remark on paying seventy thousand for a portion, on what 130 grams costs, on a bottle of soju now being seven thousand. And yet not one dish has gone up in fifteen months — the soybean-stew rice is the same price in a July 2025 post as in a September 2026 one, and the prime tenderloin is unchanged between November 2025 and February 2026. So are the rest. What we counted is that an expensive menu has not risen, which is not the same as its being good value. Two writers think it is not: one that it is dear for the amount of beef, and one who scored the food five out of five and the value two.
- Opinion on the service divides, and it divides along the price. The four favourable accounts are specific: attention that was neither fussy nor absent right through the meal; side dishes refilled before they were asked for; wasabi brought when requested; water and rice for a child handled without fuss. All three unfavourable accounts measure the service against the bill — that it was no better than so-so for what was charged; that being grilled for was easy but the manner was not warm for the price; and that being steered towards the dearer cuts was uncomfortable. That last writer had been weighing up a second order when the waiter recommended the ₩75,000 cut. No post says the staff were rude. They say the service did not reach the price — which is a different complaint.
- Most people who write about this branch arrive from another one. Three say this was their first visit here, coming respectively from the Samseong, City Hall and Gangnam branches; others mention Cheongdam, Myeongdong and Sangam. So the posts compare branches: one chose this one because another charges for valet parking while this one gives two hours free; one tells office workers in the area to come here rather than to Gangnam, which he found a scrum; one, finding the soybean-stew rice far too sweet, wonders whether the branches cook differently. Two posts are return visits — one writer twice in two months, one after what she reckons is ten years. That so much of the writing is comparative also means this page cannot answer everything: we counted only the posts about this branch.

Eight posts say two hours are free in the building's underground car park; we counted four. The other four say it in a header block beside the phone number and the hours, with no account of having parked. The four we kept describe what they did: parked below and came up; chose this branch over another because that one charges for valet and this one does not; parked under the tower and took the lift up, finding the garage roomy even at weekday lunch; found spaces easy and said to bring the car. One post gives the overage rate, a thousand won per ten minutes, and one notes that the two hours do not combine with other branches. No post describes valet parking here — the valet fee mentioned belongs to a different branch.

Not one post says whether a wheelchair or a pushchair can get in. None mentions a step at the door, a ramp, or stairs. All we know is that it is at ground level — four writers say so in their own words, and one describes taking the lift up from the car park. But the door is not on the street. One writer notes there is no entrance from outside and that you have to go into the building first, which he found slightly daunting; another warns that being inside an office lobby it is hard to spot from the road. You pass through that lobby to reach it. Whether there is a step between the lobby and the restaurant, nobody writes. Four posts brought children — aged three, seven, twenty-five months, and one of primary-school age — and not one mentions a high chair or a changing table. All four record only that they booked a room.
No one mentioned: In a basement · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · 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.

What we do not know
- Of the thirty posts that passed our filter — out of 331 candidates — we removed nine, which leaves twenty-one posts written by twenty people; one blogger came twice and wrote twice. Two of the nine are reviews of a different branch of the same chain, one of them saying outright that he had been to this branch before but that this visit was the other one. Three are list articles — a district top-twenty, a best-five of beef tasting menus, a fifty-strong roundup of grill houses — and every one of them lists a different branch, with no account of a visit. Two belong to other businesses in the same building: an advertisement for office space in the tower, and a review of merchandise at the coffee shop downstairs, both swept in by a shared street address. One is about a beef restaurant in another neighbourhood entirely, where our restaurant appears only as a link at the foot of the page. One is a six-month personal diary whose entire account is two passing lines with no branch named — and with branches in several districts, the name alone cannot tell us which. A chain name is where this goes wrong most often. Leaving those nine in would inflate every "N out of" sentence on this page.
- Three posts say the chairs are worn out. The only post that says otherwise is the one that declares a sponsorship. The three do not know each other and are spread over five months: chairs shabby enough to disappoint at these prices (September 2026); the room chairs in a state, much the same in the other rooms glimpsed on the way out, and frankly due for replacement (March 2026); some of them frayed enough to pull the whole interior down (March 2026). Two of the three also mention the floor — patches of it slippery, and greasy around the table, which one of them minded more for having a child with her. Both of those sat in a private room and both had children. On the other side stands the sponsored post from January 2026, which finds the seating well cushioned and easy to sit in through a meal. It may be that the hall differs from the rooms — one of the three says the hall chairs were the better of the two — or that they have since been changed. We could not confirm either.
- They disagree about the noise. Two lunchtime posts call it quiet — few enough tables to talk over, and, in the sponsored post, outside noise well shut out. A third, at dinner, found the private room no defence. A work party somewhere in the building was loud enough to carry; she had been seated in the hall, realised her family would not be able to talk, asked to move to a room, and could still hear what she called shouting. She had never been in a restaurant that loud. She adds that this is not the restaurant's fault but her luck in the hour she chose, and that a district full of company dinners will do this. With the room door shut it nearly stopped, but the door could not stay shut while staff came in to grill and to serve. That an adjacent party can defeat the room is one person's experience on one evening.
- One post mentions the toilet, and it mentions it inside a header block — one line beside the address, the hours and the parking, saying it is inside and clean. We counted it, because "clean" is a judgement rather than a listing, but we cannot tell whether she saw it or copied it. Whether there are separate facilities for men and women, whether it belongs to the restaurant or to the building, how large it is, whether there is an accessible one — none of the twenty-one posts says. Not even at fifty thousand won a head, in a place where people book a room and sit for two or three hours.
- One post declares a sponsorship, six declare that they paid, two say somebody else paid, and the remaining twelve say nothing. The sponsored one, from January 2026, opens by saying the meal was provided. It also carries the name of a different branch: one sentence in the middle of it says they went to the Myeongdong branch for lunch that day, while everything else is about this one — the mark of a template not fully cleaned up. It is also the only post that speaks well of the chairs. The two treated meals are a work dinner bought by a branch manager to mark an award, and an office lunch where the writer says this is where they always go on the company card. Beyond that, one writer received a free plate of the beef fritters through a reservation app, and records that the manager gave her two rather than the usual one; two relay shop promotions, a beef voucher above a certain spend at weekends and a new-year scratch card. One post that declares nothing reproduces the chain's own brand copy verbatim — we note it without ruling on it.
- You may bring your own bottle, with one condition: not one the restaurant itself sells. A writer carried in a case of six bottles of a soju they stock, drank the lot, and was told about the rule only when the bill came — corkage covers whisky and wine they do not sell; he apologised. Four posts describe drinking wine or whisky they brought, two of them calling corkage free. Two note that Riedel glasses are provided for a brought bottle. No post says a drink is required — two writers had none at all, and one left the wine because she was driving. If you mean to bring something, it is worth asking first whether they sell it.
- Two writers say there is nothing here that is only here. One, in for a study group's annual dinner, finds little to fault at these prices but thinks that with so many places like it now the restaurant needs something of its own — and remembers the shock of eating Korean beef at the chain's first branch nearly twenty years ago. The other, on her second visit, calls it a safe choice, and admits she came because everywhere else was booked. Neither says the food is bad: one says it is good, the other that there is little to fault. It reads as the place you can take people without risk — and two writers asked what else it is.
- This is a place people book, and the posts list the ways — by telephone, through the big local map app, and through a restaurant-booking app. One says to ring the restaurant directly for a same-day table. Four note that with a booking the table is laid before you arrive. The booking itself asks what you will eat: one writer records being asked whether it would be the grill or the single dishes, and another that the grill can be had in a private room. Three walked in without booking — one at eight on a weekday evening, one who found plenty of tables, and one who arrived at noon on the first day of the autumn holiday to an empty room. No post describes queueing. One could not photograph the hall at a weekend because it was full, and one came here because a sister branch had no same-day tables left.
- One post warns that the smell stays in your clothes — enough, she says, that she felt bad about getting on the underground and took a taxi instead. We set that beside the post that credits the high ceiling with keeping the smoke off — both are about the same room and they do not contradict each other. Smoke rising away from the table and smoke left in a jacket are two different things. No post describes the extraction, and only this one mentions the smell.
