Ok, steak lovers, buckle up, because there’s the perfect spot for you tucked away in Itaewon: Hue 135! I’m telling y’all… this spot takes dry-aged beef to a whole new level. The mastermind behind the magic is none other than Chef Kim Se-kyung. He has truly knocked it out the park. As soon as you walk in, you're like, "This place is CLASSY!" It’s got that luxurious, Gatsby-like vibe, and it totally fits the dining experience. But the real star of the show here is the food. It’s all in the name: 'Hue 休' means 'rest', and '135 degrees' is apparently the sweet spot for cooking meat. And this is the foundation for the steak here – and they nail it.

Think of it as splurge -- or the perfect spot for a special meal. So, if you're curious about what dry-aged steak really tastes like and ready for a new culinary adventure, run – don’t walk...
