DOORI
두리 Duri Doori is the name of the chef couple's dog, and the house logo traces her nose, mouth and the mole on her chin.

Doori is a Korean fine-dining room in a half-basement on Wonhyo-ro 63-gil 27, Yongsan, a short walk from Hyochang Park station. A chef and his wife run it, serving one seasonal tasting menu, now 160,000 won per person, with pairings listed at 150,000 (signature), 100,000 (half) and 100,000 won (five non-alcoholic glasses). Guests sit around a bar-style U-shaped table and hear each dish explained; one post said only four parties are seated per sitting. We read 4 posts dated June 10 to September 16, 2026, all from people who ate there, three of them on anniversaries.

Rows without a count: 2 of 2 posts.
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
- All four visitors wrote about the service. Mention an anniversary and dessert comes with lettering; three posts say the chef took a Polaroid of them, and two received a postcard and a short handwritten note as well.
- Three posts say booking is hard: reservations are only through CatchTable and open two months ahead. One diner got a Sunday 6 pm slot after missing several cancellation alerts; another said it became much harder to book after the 2026 Michelin Selected listing.

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
1 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| In a basement | 1 of 4 posts |
|---|
One post says the room is a half-basement you walk down into, and found it cosy rather than cramped. Check-ins say first floor, but the registered address is basement level 1.
We know you walk down into a half-basement, but nobody described the steps, an entrance lip, or wheelchair or stroller access; we don't know.
No post says where the restroom is or whether it is separated by gender; we don't know.
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.

What we do not know
- Two posts say a drink order is required, but neither says whether it is per person or per table; one non-drinking couple ordered a single alcohol-free bottle instead.
- The price has gone up: a winter visitor paid 150,000 won per person before the rise, while posts from June 2026 on say 160,000. One couple wrote that with half pairing the bill came to 520,000 won for two.
- One post found the winter menu heavy and oily from the first courses, and another found the jamón tart saltier than expected; the other two raised no such point.
- Opening hours come only from copied listings: two posts give Mon, Thu, Fri 19:00-24:00 and weekends 12:00-24:00, one adds a 15:00-18:00 weekend break, and one says closed Tuesday and Wednesday.
- Two posts copy the phone number 0507-1409-3655, but three say reservations go through CatchTable; nobody said whether phone booking works.
- One post, from experience, says it is steps from exit 5 of Hyochang Park station; no one mentioned buses.
- It is reservation-only and no one queued outside; one diner read the leaflet while waiting briefly inside. We don't know whether walk-ins are possible.
- The three posts that say who came along were all couples on anniversaries; none came with friends, family, a group or alone, so we can't say how it suits those.
