UAHRA Gwanghwamun: Premium Hanwoo Beef Omakase Experience near Gyeongbokgung Palace
Hi everyone, it's Gerimong! ????
Today, I'm sharing my review of the Hanwoo beef omakase course at 'UAHRA' Gwanghwamun, a renowned beef restaurant in Gwanghwamun.
As someone who believes that no Hanwoo omakase experience is complete without alcohol, I always look for restaurants with a corkage-free policy.
UAHRA is not only corkage-free but also boasts a private dining room with a great ambiance, making it a perfect choice for any gathering >_<
I had such a delightful dinner at UAHRA. Let me introduce it to you!
Before my dinner reservation, the weather was so nice that I purposely arrived two hours early to explore Gyeongbokgung Station and Seochon on my own.
It's conveniently located in K-Twin Tower, right near Gyeongbokgung Station, making it easily accessible!
UAHRA Gwanghwamun is located on the B1 floor of K-Twin Tower, and the luxurious atmosphere is apparent from the entrance.
For parking, UAHRA provides 2 hours of free parking in the B3 level of K-Twin Tower. Parking in the A-dong section is recommended for easier access!
All seats are in private rooms with a fantastic ambiance. Isn't it lovely? ????
There are rooms that can accommodate up to 20 people, making it perfect for milestone celebrations such as 60th birthday parties, first birthday celebrations, or company dinners! I think it will be incredibly popular at the end of the year. The atmosphere is also ideal for formal family meetings +_+
If you're looking for a private dining room with a great ambiance near Gyeongbokgung Station and Seochon, I highly recommend UAHRA. Don't forget that it's corkage-free!
UAHRA Dinner B Course: Premium Aged Hanwoo BBQ 10-Course Meal with Individual Grill
90g ₩129,000
120g ₩139,000
150g ₩149,000
UAHRA is a name created by combining 牛 (Woo), which means Hanwoo beef, with 'Ara,' a pure Korean word meaning 'ocean' :)
We enjoyed the Dinner B course, and my companion added an extra 30g (120g total) for an additional fee! I recommend that men consider adding extra.
They initially present the ingredients that will be used in today's course, which is perfect for taking pictures >_<
I love enjoying with my eyes as well, and older people really seem to appreciate this kind of presentation. My mom's turning 60 soon... I need to bring her here.
Chawanmushi
Scallop, Asparagus, Ginkgo Nut
The meal starts with Chawanmushi, a warm and soft steamed egg custard that easily slides down your throat. The plating is so cute, too. The acorn shape is adorable... If you request a special anniversary, they provide dessert lettering + a Polaroid photo + a glass of champagne each! I recommend enjoying it with champagne :)
Elegant (4 Bite-Sized Dishes)
Tuna, Hanwoo Yukhoe (Beef Tartare), Hanwoo Tenderloin, Lobster
Next is Amuse-bouche, consisting of four bite-sized dishes called 'Elegant.' The plating is truly amazing...
Tuna roll, Hanwoo Yukhoe canape, Hanwoo tenderloin fritter, and lobster—all filled with premium ingredients!
It's absolutely delicious ㅠ
Red Sea Bream (Chambdom)
Eggplant, Water Dropwort, Yuzu, Pear, Dill
You can't leave out fresh sashimi, right? The red sea bream sashimi pairs perfectly with the refreshing sauce! I finished my champagne here ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Super Sweet Corn Soup
Truffle Oil, Avruga, Spinach, Mushroom
I fell head over heels for this super sweet corn soup! It was so delicious that I completely emptied the bowl.
It's really creamy and rich, and although I thought the bowl might be shallow, it was surprisingly filling ㅠ I love it.
Abalone
Radish, Kelp, Basil
Abalone with braised radish and steamed pumpkin are served together. The chewy abalone, soft steamed pumpkin, and braised radish were a truly harmonious combination :)
Since it's a private dining room, it might seem like it would be difficult for the servers to constantly come and go, but the server was incredibly kind ㅠㅠ
Tilefish (Okdom)
Roe, Aster scaber Rice
This was also a really, really delicious dish. The plating is also so pretty, I want that plate,, Well, grilled tilefish is placed on top of Aster scaber rice, and a broth made with tilefish bones is poured over it. How can it be so delicious ㅠ
UAHRA Gwanghwamun is not just about beef; it presents the best of Korean cuisine through various ingredients, which I loved!
Perilla Oil Octopus Hanwoo Noodle
Octopus, Sea Urchin Roe, Hanwoo, Water Dropwort, Yuzu, Capellini, Aged Kimchi
It's Perilla Oil Octopus Hanwoo Noodle! Just by hearing the name, it might not seem like a refreshing dish, but it actually cleanses the palate ㅋㅋㅋ
I fell in love with capellini at Hanwoo Omakase UAHRA...;; I've been using it instead of wheat noodles these days ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's actually better because it doesn't get soggy?!
Individual Grill BBQ & Bansang (Korean Table Setting)
Hanwoo Sirloin, Grilled Vegetables, Potato, Parsnip
& Hanwoo Seaweed Soup, Icheon Rice, 3 Side Dishes
The main course at Gwanghwamun Beef Restaurant is Hanwoo sirloin BBQ using an individual grill, along with a Bansang (Korean table setting) ????
The premium Hanwoo sirloin looks amazing just by looking at it >_< Yay
The picture above is 90g, and the picture below is 120g ~ㅎㅎ Adding ₩10,000 for 30g... Is it worth it? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋKyokyo
Grilling it diligently with vegetables ✨ I want to eat it so badly again ㅠㅠHeuheuk
Also, since it's grilled on an individual grill, you can grill it yourself, which is even better ㅋㅋ
No need to worry about each other's preferred grilling level or speed ㅋ Isn't this a must-have for company dinners...........?
I prefer it just like this. The Hanwoo sirloin melted in my mouth...
And the Bansang with my beloved Hanwoo seaweed soup ✨
If you put a little salt on the Hanwoo sirloin and place it on top of the white rice made with Icheon rice, this is heaven ㅠ
Plus, the rich Hanwoo seaweed soup + the fresh-cut kimchi and salted seafood... it's insane. It feels like my birthday today...
Dessert
Finally, a refreshing dessert—???? I thought I was going to explode ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
If you apply for a special anniversary, they will do dessert lettering, so if it's your anniversary, be sure to apply >_<
It was a happy dinner at Hanwoo Omakase 'UAHRA,' a renowned beef restaurant in Gwanghwamun ????
If you're looking for a private dining room with a great atmosphere and corkage-free policy near Gyeongbokgung Station and Seochon, I highly recommend UAHRA -!
I hope my review was helpful, and I hope everyone has a happy day. Bye >_<
In conclusion, if you're looking for a great beef restaurant with a good atmosphere near Gyeongbokgung Station, I highly recommend 'UAHRA'!
