Editor’s overview
Haehwaok is a 24-hour Korean restaurant near Sinnonhyeon Station in Gangnam, Seoul. Visit for Hanwoo beef soup, beef shank and tendon hot pot, bulgogi and Korean beef barbecue, from breakfast to late-night dining.
The staff were kind and the room was clean ✨ Beef off the grill, then the crab, then the brisket-and-octopus bulgogi — all on one table, a filling meal. My pick for Gangnam.
Ribeye cooking on the grill, rolled brisket waiting beside it. A bite of beef with minari, then the chopsticks move to the red crab 🦀 Too good a table to stop at the meat.

At Haehwaok, I had bulgogi hot pot with a friend while traveling.
The beef was tender and the seasoning wasn’t overpowering, giving it a clean flavor that went really well with rice. The broth was also mild and not too heavy, making it a great option for a comfortable lunch. The
