I visited Sotnaeum, famous for its delicious hot stone pot rice (솥밥) in COEX, Gangnam! ʚɞ

Want to see my honest review? ~?

Sotnaeum Starfield COEX Mall Branch

It's about a 6-minute walk from Bongeunsa Station Exit 7. '◡'

Business Hours: Daily 10:30 - 22:00 / Weekend Break Time 15:00 - 16:00, Last Order 21:00

⭐️ Amenities: Reservations, Separate Men's/Women's Restrooms, Group Dining Available, Wireless Internet

🅿️ Parking: Available at COEX Mall (1 hour free for purchases of ₩50,000 or more)

The last time I came for lunch, the waiting line was really long ~~

It's also famous as a COEX restaurant with a long queue ••

Very Excellent hygiene rating posted at the entrance ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Seems like you can trust the hygiene and cleanliness? !!!!!!!!

I visited before 6 PM on a weekday, and it was already packed.

놀라운 광경

So cute, right? ㅎㅎ

This is the menu.

They have new menu items: Potato Pancake (감자전) and Squash & Mushroom Hot Stone Pot Rice (호박버섯솥밥) ~~~

And some menu items are limited and sold out ㅠㅠ (which means the ingredients are super fresh!)

Even though I've been to several similar hot stone pot rice restaurants,

I think this place has the most menu options ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

About 20? There was a reason why it's a famous limited hot stone pot rice restaurant in Gangnam COEX ㅎㅎ

They also sell appetizers and a good selection of alcoholic beverages for dinner! !!!!!!!!

The dishes we ordered were:

‘Abalone Hot Stone Pot Rice’ (₩15,000)

‘Steak Hot Stone Pot Rice’ (₩16,000)

흥미로운 이미지

‘Bulgogi Cheese Potato Pancake’ (₩17,900)

We ordered this much! !!!!

Delicious scorched rice (nurungji) to add after eating the hot stone pot rice!!!!!

We carefully read how to eat it deliciously before eating.

신비로운 모습

Tada!

A plentiful spread of hot stone pot rice dishes...

‘Abalone Hot Stone Pot Rice’ (₩15,000)

The main dish, hot stone pot rice, and various side dishes!

소중한 기억

The side dishes include cabbage salad, salted seafood, kimchi, carrots, and seaweed.

Even cinnamon punch (sujeonggwa) for a refreshing dessert ㅎㅎ

Not only abalone inside, but also a lot of abalone innards.

Just mix it all together and you're done.

흥미로운 이미지

Crush some seaweed on top.

Perfect seasoning ⭐️⭐️ After one bite,

The abalone was fresh and more delicious than I thought ~

Next up is ~~ my order,

‘Steak Hot Stone Pot Rice’ (₩16,000)

The side dishes are all the same, but the steak hot stone pot rice comes with steak sauce and wasabi.

인상 깊은 모습

Amazing visuals!!!! Doesn't it look undeniably delicious? ••

Mix it well with the steak sauce.

Like this ~~ I was thinking about adding more meat,

꿈같은 순간

But there was more than I expected, and the meat was juicy and tender, so good!!!!

Wrap it in seaweed like this.

행복한 시간

So delicious 〰️ !!!!!!!! Meat lovers must order it!!!!

And lastly, at the end,

Add scorched rice to the hot stone pot rice that had warm water poured into it and scrape it all up ••

환상적인 장면

A very satisfying flavor ~~~

And the new menu item that just came out,

‘Bulgogi Cheese Potato Pancake’ (₩17,900)

As soon as I saw the visuals, I knew it would be delicious ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

아름다운 풍경

They gave us soy sauce, ketchup, and honey for dipping sauces.

With this amount of cheese + visuals, isn't it basically pizza? ••

밝은 미래

Crazy ㅠㅠ The epitome of crispy on the outside and soft on the inside..

감동적인 장면

This is today's Yeoni Kong's PICK!!!!!!!

And the bulgogi is salty and sweet,

Putting it on the cheese potato pancake one by one

흥미로운 이미지

Goes so well together!!!!

The quality of the main hot stone pot rice at Sotnaeum was excellent,

And I was also very satisfied with the side dishes, so 100% chance of revisiting!!!

I understand why it's the #1 restaurant in COEX.

It feels like they use the freshest and best ingredients ••

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
