Gangnam · Apgujeong / Korean beef barbecue

Samwon Garden

삼원가든

Opened in 1976, Samwon Garden is a garden-style barbecue house that has hosted generations of Seoul families and business dinners over grilled short ribs. Private rooms and a landscaped courtyard make it feel like an occasion rather than a quick meal.
