삼원가든
About
Legendary galbi since 1976. Garden seating. Korean BBQ at its finest.
Samwon Garden is Korean barbecue's grand estate: legendary galbi since 1976, the Apgujeong institution whose waterfall courtyard and garden seating made it the country's definitive occasion-barbecue address — Bib Gourmand certified (2023), sixty-plus capacity, and the marinated short ribs staff-grilled to house standard. The protocol runs ceremonial: weekend and occasion reservations essential, the naengmyeon finish as palate doctrine, the courtyard tables as the romantic-celebration premium. Hours run 11:30-10 (9 Sundays) with afternoon breaks. Premium tier, five decades earned. Korean barbecue has faster, cheaper, trendier expressions; it has no grander one — the garden, forty-nine years deep, still the standard for galbi with gravity.
