CHOI Dot in Cheongdam dong, Seoul. Such a fun and delicious experience by Chef Choi Hyunseok! #seoul

1/30 Edited to

... Read moreDining at CHOI Dot in Cheongdam-dong is an exquisite journey into the art of modern Korean cuisine. Chef Choi Hyunseok masterfully blends tradition with innovation, presenting dishes that surprise and delight with unexpected flavors and textures. One standout aspect is the playful approach to appetizers, or 'whimsical bouche,' which cleverly incorporate beloved Korean ingredients like gochujang and kalbi in fresh, enticing forms. The attention to detail in every dish is remarkable—from the crispy exterior and tender interior of the beksuk chicken, to desserts that balance sweetness and spice delicately, sometimes featuring elements like melon and sesame or indulgent chocolate. This balance not only excites the palate but also offers a narrative of Korea’s rich culinary heritage seen through a contemporary lens. What makes this experience particularly special is the way the dishes challenge the diner’s expectations without sacrificing comfort or familiarity. The 'Class Wars' concept hints at a playful competition of flavors and textures, inviting guests to appreciate each course’s unique twist. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or someone familiar with Korean cuisine, CHOI Dot offers an engaging, satisfying experience that celebrates both expertise and culinary creativity. For foreign diners or those new to Korean food, Chef Choi's reinterpretation makes traditional dishes more approachable while still honoring their origins. The restaurant’s location in the upscale Cheongdam-dong neighborhood adds to the overall ambiance, providing a chic yet welcoming environment for food enthusiasts eager to explore Korea’s rich gastronomic scene in a fun, innovative way.
