Bistro Seoul exhibits Korea's traditional cuisine with modern inspiration. Located in Samseong-dong, at the Oakwood center next to Coex, Bistro Seoul is a great place to dine for those who are just tuning into learning what Korean cuisine is about! The most fresh and local ingredients are utilized in their culinary creations, and their take on Korean cuisine is promising.
Recently, I had the opportunity to co-produce a short vignette featuring Bistro Seoul for LI T.V. with Dubu Digital Productions. Hyun Choi, the R&D director of Sun At Foods, and who spearheaded Bistro Seoul, explained that their concept is to amalgamate Korean classic cuisine with modern techniques to compose something exceptional.
The interior of Bistro Seoul: Implements Korean natural elements and re-establishes it.
To be honest, I didn't know what to expect when I had the tasting during our shoot. However, I couldn't stop after taking a few bites! Hyun Choi, Pearl Cheong, along with their staff, were absolutely amazing to work with! Some of my favorites: The arrow squid carpaccio, and broiled sablefish-absolutely delectable!
Btw, you may even spot some Korean celebrities if you stop by :)
