High-end Beef Barbecue at Hanyukgam 한육감 The Bone in Rib Feast at Hanyukgam 한육감 Han6gam If you are traveling to Seoul and you're looking for a high-end beef restaurant that won't disappoint, then Han6gam is a safe bet. They have the stylings of a high-end steak restaurant in a modern, Korean style.

Located in the food section of the new Gran Seoul Mall near Jongak station, this is a high-end beef restaurant with upscale atmosphere, food styling, service, and great food.

A bottle of Blue Creek Cabernet Sauvignon is 30,000 won and they also have Lou's No. 1. Of the list the Dona Javiera Carmenere looks most enticing (33,000).
