Samson Garden: Korean BBQ and Comfort in a Beautiful Garden 🥩✨

 Samson Gardon

835 Eonju-ro, Gangnam District, Seoul

I’ve always loved Samson Garden — it’s long been one of my favorite spots for Korean BBQ and beef dishes. Tucked away behind one of the busiest main streets in Gangnam, it’s hidden behind trees and traditional Korean walls, looking more like a mansion than a restaurant. After a lengthy renovation, I almost forgot about it, especially since I rarely pass through the neighborhood. But the wait was absolutely worth it.

The newly renovated space is clean, modern, and inviting, yet still retains its signature touches: trees, waterfalls, and greenery that make the atmosphere feel refreshing and unique.

This time, I ordered the galbitang (beef short rib soup) — rich, comforting, and deeply flavorful — along with their bossam kimchi, a must-have side dish. The combination alone makes the visit worthwhile and reminds me why this place remains a favorite, even after the long renovation break.
