About
Woodfire steakhouse led by a New York-trained chef, serving dry-aged porterhouse steaks and refined multi-course dining near Gangnam Station.
Tucked along the rising slopes near the Kukkiwon intersection between Gangnam and Yeoksam stations, Stubborn brings refined, New York–inspired woodfire dining to Teheran-ro. Having relocated from an understated basement into a bright first-floor venue wrapped in glass partitions and ample natural light, the steakhouse strikes an effortless balance between an intimate date-night setting and a polished venue for business gatherings and group celebrations. Steered by an owner-chef with New York roots, the kitchen revolves around open-flame oak grilling and careful aging. Beef takes center stage, headlined by dry-aged cuts and a signature porterhouse matured for over thirty days using fermented nuruk techniques. Cooked over fragrant wood smoke, the steaks arrive with a deep char that gives way to tender, richly concentrated meat, often paired with nuruk butter, potato purée, and roasted Brussels sprouts. Guests celebrating milestones can reserve ahead for complimentary wine corkage on porterhouse orders or request custom lettering on dessert plates. The dining experience unfolds through thoughtfully sequenced multi-course menus for lunch and dinner, as well as accessible bistro sets. Meals open with warm rustic bread smeared with chickpea-rich house spreads, followed by woodfire-kissed starters like char-grilled cauliflower resting over caramelized purée with toasted nuts, or a Caesar salad loaded with thick-cut house-made Duroc bacon. Beyond the butcher’s board, the kitchen demonstrates a sure hand with pasta and grain dishes. Expect firm, toothsome house noodles tossing garlic-confit oil with springy shrimp, robust bolognese sauces, and deeply savory Spanish-style seafood risotto. Sweet finishes, such as house-made gelato crowned with brittle dalgona candy, bring a nostalgic crunch to the meal. Whether settling in by the sunlit street-facing windows at lunch or reserving the private dining room for an evening course, Stubborn anchors Gangnam’s bustling corporate corridor with grounded, oak-fired precision.
