IMOK Smoke Dining — Fire and Smoke Tasting Experience

IMOK Smoke Dining gained fame when its chef, Yoo Yong-wook, appeared on Netflix's hit cooking competition "Culinary Class Wars" (흑백요리사). The restaurant is housed in a converted 36-year-old bathhouse in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam, transformed into an atmospheric fire-and-smoke-themed dining space that is as dramatic to look at as it is to eat in.

The tasting course (₩150,000 per person) showcases the chef's mastery of smoke: highlights include 8-hour maple-glazed smoked bacon and 4-hour oak-smoked short ribs that melt at the touch. The Michelin Guide Korea has recognized IMOK, cementing it as one of the most innovative dining experiences in Seoul. Reservations are essential and fill up quickly.
