Haehwaok in Sinnonhyeon — Hanwoo on the grill and spicy seasoned blue crab · Watch on YouTube

🥩 1++ Hanwoo aged ribeye and rolled brisket on the grill, with a plate of spicy seasoned blue crab on the side, at Haehwaok in Sinnonhyeon, Gangnam, on 14 October 2026. Top-grade beef — the ribeye and the brisket were both really good.

👀 Visit impressions
The staff were kind and the room was clean ✨ Beef off the grill, then the crab, then the brisket-and-octopus bulgogi — all on one table, a filling meal. My pick for Gangnam.
💡 Tip for visitors
There's a menu in several languages, so choosing is easy 🌏 If you want a real Korean flavour alongside the Hanwoo, order the spicy seasoned crab.
🎬 One scene
Ribeye cooking on the grill, rolled brisket waiting beside it. A bite of beef with minari, then the chopsticks move to the red crab 🦀 Too good a table to stop at the meat.
