Jowu — Restaurant in Seoul

Came for thier dinner course on a Saturday Night. Some good food highlights but lots of area for improvement, atleast for a set menu costing $200k per person.

Put in room (holding coats) but not explained or directed to put jackets in wardrobe. Jackets left on chairs the whole time. I found out that there was a dresser after meal while I was looking at other reviews.

No drinks or wine menu offered, unless it was the trifold advertising brochure left on the side of the table which appeared to only specify 2 wines.

despite having a booked reservation, and struggling for 10 minutes to find the front entrance, still having to wait about 15 minutes for first course.

timing of courses was also a bit slow, lots of waiting between courses.

food was hit and miss, but I put that down to personal preference. The Hanwoo Sashimi was a stand-out and you cant go wrong with charcoal grilled hanwoo, but i didn't really enjoy the nori taco or the top blade rice. Having had multiple similar courses at other resteraunts finish with Garlic / truffle / popcorn pot rice, the top blade pot rice was just a bit bland and underwhelming.

desert was the biggest let-down. It was one scoop of strawberry ice cream.... for a $200 course. No garnish, no accompaniments just a scoop of strawberry icecream. To be completely honest it reminded me of the strawberry in 3 flavour Neapolitan...

Meal budget per person (without drinks) Category 3 (over 120K KRW)

The restaurant has a room for private dining and specializes in Korean Beef Omakase. It is the family and Gangnam style of Born & Bred from Michelin Gude 2022.

To begin with, it is far the best Korean Beef Omakase I have had recently. The dining area is clean, luxurious and comfortable. The menu configuration from the appetizer to dessert is magnificent. The main dishes of Chateaubriand (샤토브리앙), Striploin (채끝), Flank (치맛살) are tender and juicy. They are super savory! Each beef dish comes with each different side dish, which matches very well each other and very delectable. Marinated grilled Beef is one of the signature and it is full of flavor. Hamburger is very different style, very tasty. Curry rice with beef soup are good finish as a Korean style of this long journey of flavors.

The roast master is very professional and attentive. For one bottle of wine for one person, the Corkage is free. 200 KRW per person may sound expensive, but it is completely not. It is such a great course Omakase that is more than worth the money I pay.. The restaurant is very recommendable for all couples, friends, business...

Went for the 200k won course with my friends and we absolutely loved the food! They offer free corkage of a bottle of alcohol per pax and we really felt it was worth it.

All the courses were well-made though I didn’t really enjoy the sando too much. One thing I would like to praise is their professionalism when it comes to quality. We asked for medium rare on our chateaubriand but the newbie waitress slightly overcooked it to medium instead. We were fine with it but the head chef insisted on giving us a new one and even cooked it to perfection for us.

Such gestures like these will definitely be well-received by your customers and we will definitely recommend this place to...
