Korean BBQ in Seoul: comparing the two galbi styles, hall seating and private rooms | Seolya Galbi

For travelers looking for Korean BBQ in Seoul, Seolya Galbi Cheongdam is a Hanwoo galbi option in Gangnam with staff grilling at the table. The meal is ordered by individual dishes rather than assumed to be a fixed-price course. Match the food to the group's preferences and confirm any seating request with the booking.

Choosing dishes for this dinner

Two galbi styles provide a clear choice between marinated and unmarinated beef. That does not mean the group needs to order a large quantity of both before knowing what everyone prefers.

Both current signature galbi dishes use boneless weight. Their per-100g prices differ, so they should be entered as separate items in a budget. Leave the option to add more of the preferred cut later.

The two galbi styles have different prices even at the same weight. After the first order, ask which style the group would actually like to add.

Hall seating and private rooms

Choose space according to the group's size and purpose. Seolya lists one four-seat room and two six-seat rooms. A room appearing in the restaurant information does not establish its availability for a particular evening.

Decide whether the group wants the hall or a separate room, then make that request explicit. Confirm any applicable room conditions separately from the food order. Official photographs are useful for layout, not a promise of a specific table or an exact noise level. Larger groups should discuss a real seating arrangement with the restaurant.

Booking and location

Current dinner hours are 17:30-22:00, with last orders at 21:00. Online booking covers two to six guests; groups of seven or more should call +82-2-6941-1179. Lunch is temporarily paused. Use 서울 강남구 선릉로152길 18 as the Korean-language destination for a driver.

Menu points to keep separate

The current listing for Seolya Marinated Galbi is KRW 59,000 for 100g boneless weight. Prices are in Korean won and include VAT as listed. The signature Hanwoo galbi uses boneless weight. Marinated and unmarinated options have different prices; the Sunday bone-in galbi products have separate weights and minimum orders, so their labels are not interchangeable.
