Sogong-Gan Elegant Fine Dining

We recently visited a Michelin Elegant and Fine Dining restaurant in Busan to celebrate a friend’s birthday. We had made a reservation a month in advance since we were a party of seven, and we were really looking forward to the experience. Unfortunately, due to heavy traffic, we arrived about 20 minutes late and couldn’t return to the hotel to change into more suitable attire. We immediately apologized for our delay, and the staff was understanding. Overall, the service was good, the food was fantastic, and the chef was very friendly, explaining each dish in detail. However, one minor downside was that the staff asked us to keep our voices down, even though the restaurant wasn’t crowded that evening. There were only two tables occupied: our group of seven and another couple seated at a distance. While we understood the restaurant’s fine dining atmosphere, it did dampen the celebratory mood a little. For those planning to visit, I would recommend dressing more elegantly and suggest keeping your group small—no more than four people—to avoid being too loud. Also, be mindful of the corkage fee if you plan to bring your own wine, as it’s on the pricier side. That said, you'll surely enjoy a delightful Michelin dining experience here.

We had an amazing dinner! Everything was delicious and served with perfect timing and attention to details, the staff even noted I am left handed and changed the side of the mise en place. But the thing we enjoyed the most and made the experience unique, was the fact that the chef came to our table for every course and explained to us all the dishes in detail, serving us even the wine. We absolutely recommend this restaurant!

Great first fine dining experience in Busan. Chef Park Ki Sub explained each of the dishes. Atmosphere was classy and ambient. The morille mushroom, buckwheat noodles flavour, and quality of the beef were the highlights. Definitely one to check out in Busan

Korean beef and the buck wheat noodle were awesome! Pricing wise I’m not sure what’s the typical fine cuisine pricing in Busan, dinner was 145,000 won per person and we also ordered a bottle of wine.

Fantastic fine dining experience! We tried their Spring Lunch menu in May 2024, and fully enjoyed ourselves! Extraordinary service, nice atmosphere - and most importantly - great food!

Wow! What an incredible gastronomic experience. We had the opportunity to sit at the bar and it was the best seat in the house. Watching the chefs work their magic was spectacular and Chef Park Ki Sub was such a delight to meet. Every single course, including the wine selection, was extraordinary....even the coffee was delicious and I don't like black coffee. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant and wish they had more across the globe. We'll be waiting for you in Miami!

When you are in Busan you should try the taste sensations of chef Park Ki Sub and his team. Everything is just perfect. The food, the wine, and the hospitality. We would definitely come back if it wasn’t so far away from home.

Fine dining in Korea? Yep… this place got you covered… nice wine selecting too. Michelin star in the works if you’d ask me.
