7th Door

"Chef Kim Dae-chun’s cooking continues to diversify and deepen over time. The menu at this restaurant embodies the culinary direction he wishes to pursue, largely thanks to his modern Korean preparations. Under the theme of fermentation and aging, the essential attributes of Korean gastronomy, the chef prepares ingredients with care and expertise. The 7th Door symbolises a gastronomic entrance to “the seven tastes of food,” the first five being the five basic tastes; the sixth, the taste of fermentation and aging; and the seventh, the culinary sensibility of the chef." - Michelin Inspector

"For Chef Kim Dae-cheon, the ingredients and precise techniques that summarize his cooking philosophy are summed up in one word: toconomy (Toc Toc + gastronomy). Signature dishes at Toc Toc include truffle dumplings and pasta with Chef Kim's original flair. In addition to the course meals, the restaurant also offers a wide range of well-executed à la carte dishes." - Michelin Inspector

Chef learnt cooking in Japan, and he's very fluent in Japanese. His dishes are all mix with Japanese, Italian, French and of course Korean. He has so many signature dishes you can't miss. Please make a reservation a way before the date you would love to visit. Otherwise, they are fully booked!

Great lunch course but not like crazy great. Did not really get or taste the fermented sauces. Felt the courses were designed in a safe way. Still, Overall a good lunch meal.

Spectacular dining experience! All the food was incredible, meticulously prepared and served in a unique way. Such creative and delicious servings, the Executive Chef is magnificent. The entire team at the restaurant worked together at such a high level to provide a truly memorable experience, and absolutely delicious meal. Unmatched service and food. This restaurant is a must when in Seoul!!

We recently celebrated my girlfriend’s birthday at 7th Door, and it was truly a magical experience. From the moment we entered, we were warmly welcomed and led through a hallway of 7 doors representing the different flavors of exploration. We were the first party to arrive, and the staff kindly explained to us the fermentation and aging process. The meal was exquisite from beginning to end, showcasing a wonderful range of Korean cuisine and ingredients presented with a modern twist. The grilled abalone, striploin beef, crab and rice handroll (named after Chef Kim), and noodles in anchovy soup were simply amazing. One unique standout was a savory cream puff filled with caviar, that was presented in a bag that bore the restaurant’s name in the style of the 7/11 brand logo. We loved the tongue-in-cheek approach that added a playful enjoyment to the meal. At the end of the meal, we ordered coffee and tea to round out the evening. Chef Kim stopped by and we had a lovely chat about NYC and where he travels to do collaborations. He was also so kind to recommended other restaurants for us to try during our time in Seoul. Can’t speak highly enough of 7th Door and Chef Kim’s work. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Seoul to stop by to experience.

Fine cooking throughout by Chef Kim and team. The memorables were the Hors d'Oeuvres, Hanwoo 1++ short ribs, and a whimsical snack packed in a '7th door' paperbag dished out from a green recycled Fendi Basket. Wine pairing was decent. Service was cordial, and it would be great if a more detailed explanation of fermentation Cheong sauces used for each course.

Absolutely outstanding. If you are in Seoul this is a culinary experience not to be missed. Thanks to their slow fermentation process, each unique dish offers the distinct flavours and textures of Korea in such innovative, BEAUTIFUL, and dare I say fun ways. I particularly love the take on the typical 7-11 quick meal, and the Korean Beef was to die for. The ambience is cosy, stylish and conducive for an intimate night out. Great serving wares too! Must must must try

Lovely take on Korean food with clever interpretation and modern approach. Staff were hands-on and carefully explained what each dish stands for. Loved the casual atmosphere that is not uptight to just enjoy good food and wine.
