Golden Farm — Restaurant in Seoul

Come for the local Korean pork or beef, it might be a bit more expensive than other places, however their meat that they use is actually a higher quality cut, hence why their pork belly and loin don’t have such a big fat line so when they cook it for you table side you don’t get this heavy greasy grainy feeling you get from cheaper cuts of meat. The meat itself is quite fresh, and with that being said, IT IS FINE and OK to eat pork a little bit underdone. When you go to a high end restaurant to have Iberico pork for example they won’t cook it all the way through otherwise the meat will lose its natural sweetness, so the same goes for thier premium cuts of meat.

The kimchi stew was pleasant, it wasn’t salty and the same goes for the banchan side dishes as well.

The staff are able to speak Korean, mandarin and a touch of English, however there is an iPad that also is in English that you will order from.

The staff themselves were quite friendly and honestly was solid because folks have to be reasonable….its a restaurant that opens till 4am, so the fact they can somewhat smile, cook your food, and also plate it for you the first time, I appreciate this hospitality.

It’s not the fanciest restaurant but the food is good, and we were plenty content as we didn’t feel sick or bloated after.

Don’t order too much, go bit by bit as the protein itself even tho it’s not fatty it’s a very clean rich taste to it.

If you are looking for a spot to eat late at night, I highly recommend to check this place out as they open till 4am

Note also it’s on the 3rd floor, don’t be too sketched out by the entrance.

Only note is that I wish they improved on the ventilation a bit, however the food was solid and honestly that’s what matters in the end.

Give them a shot, and be patient if you can’t speak the local language, don’t be that ignorant tourist that thinks that the world revolves around them because they have money to spend, cuz those folks always stand out like a sore thumb in...

This spacious, bright, and welcoming restaurant became the setting for many beautiful firsts I shared with my beloved son during our time in Seoul.

Despite the fast service, every detail felt thoughtfully prepared. The highlight of our visit was trying a dish truly unique to Korean cuisine — the famous Gejang, raw marinated crab. 🦀✨

As it was our very first time, we weren’t exactly sure how to eat it — but a kind and cheerful Korean waitress gently guided us through the process, showing us with a warm smile. Afterwards, we gave it a try ourselves... or at least did our best! 😄

What makes Gejang so special is its presentation and ritual-like way of eating: the body of the crab acts as a bowl, into which you place steamed rice. Then, you squeeze the crab legs to extract the rich, jelly-like meat, mixing it all with the deeply flavorful soy sauce marinade. The result is intense, savory, and unforgettable.

We also had our first sip of Soju here — Korea’s most iconic traditional spirit — served in elegant little sojujan (tiny soju glasses of 35–50 ml). We sipped slowly, in a semi-ceremonial way, enjoying the moment. We didn’t ask for a refill — and ended up with nearly a full bottle as a friendly keepsake when we left. 🍶🙂

This was more than just a meal. It was a cultural moment, shared with my son, that I’ll always...

We ordered pork neck and chop, which arrived already cooked. The server then cut it up and placed it on the grill for show purposes only. Unfortunately, there was no real ventilation for the grill, so in an attempt to save time, they only used a paper towel to clean the grill between foods and did not change it throughout the entire meal. The food was subpar, with briskets containing more fat than meat. The portions were very small, yet the cost was equivalent to that of NYC's Korean town. While NYC uses real charcoal, this place uses an electric grill. The only positive aspect is that this place closes after 21:00, as most good restaurants close early. To sum up I don't recommend this restaurant...
