Tenkai, 322 Sowol-ro

I had high expectations for Tenkai at the Grand Hyatt Seoul, given the hotel’s reputation, but the meal was a rollercoaster of extreme flavors. Tenkai Poke The spicy tuna, to be honest, was aggressively salty. The seasoning went beyond just “flavorful” and bordered on overwhelming. It felt like the kitchen had a heavy hand with the soy or marinade to the point where I was worried about my kidneys. The freshness of the tuna was completely masked by the sodium bomb. To make matters worse, the corn kernels looked sad and malnourished, completely lacking the plump sweetness you expect in a fresh poke bowl. Beef Brisket Don The beef brisket rice bowl had potential. The fat rendering on the beef was actually quite delicious, offering that melt-in-your-mouth texture you want from brisket. However, the salt issue struck again. It was incredibly salty, but the bigger surprise was the bottom of the bowl. It was pooling in chili oil—not a subtle kick, but a heavy, greasy layer reminiscent of a very oily Mapo Tofu. It made the dish feel much heavier than necessary. Yuzu Sorbet For dessert, the Yuzu Sorbet was the complete opposite end of the spectrum. It was intensely sour, like eating ten whole yuzu fruits at once. It definitely woke me up! If you love a sharp, lip-puckering finish to cut through the grease of the main course, this does the job, but be prepared for the acidity.

Beautiful experience with an amazing team, noce and sweet with a fine menu of wines. Ask for which ones are available, they might be out of stock on few items, but overall, wonderful experience.

Nice Japanese restaurant located in Grand Hyatt Seoul. Service is friendly, fast and polite. Atmosphere is great. Food is good but size of dishes is too small in my opinion (had Chef course for lunch).

What a way to enjoy 5 star quality of streetfood like Yakitori! Genius invention! You can enjoy Japanese Yakitori of GRAND HYATT version! All ingredients are freshly good, i love the way vege stick is served. Skewered chicken is evenly coated with fantastic grilled flavor. you will be amazed at how much they charge you even though unit price is quite cheap for every skewer.

Despite a wobbly start with our white wine order (bottle was at room temp) the manager was very responsive and quickly rectified things. As expected it’s a pricey restaurant being located at the Hyatt but it delivered in spades on the service and menu was fantastic. So tasty. Deserts were also fab! Great choice for a romantic date! 🙏

Hmm. Yakidori is quite delicious. But I don't think it's worth for that price.

Ordered a fresh water eel. Small, dry tasteless. Possibly the worst eel experience I have had. I don't think the chef has tasted his food for a while. Really bad and overpriced.

A yakitori Izakaya restaurant located inside of Grand Hyatt hotal. Ambience is good for drinks and couples (spotted a lot of couples) and food are overall decent.
