Bottom line: For a business dinner in Gangnam with overseas clients, Seolya Galbi Cheongdam is my first choice. Private rooms come at no extra charge and are auto-assigned for 4-6 guests, so interpreter-led meetings stay quiet, and the staff grill 1++ aged Hanwoo so the host can focus on the conversation. Dinner is about 120,000-150,000 KRW per person, corporate card and tax invoices are accepted, and one corkage bottle is free.

Why this works for hosting foreign clients
When I host clients from abroad, I look for a quiet room, controllable cost, and a setting where the host does not have to manage the grill. Seolya Galbi Cheongdam gives a private room with no surcharge, so the per-head cost is predictable, and the free first corkage bottle lets the host open a signature wine without inflating the bill. Because the staff grill the 1++ aged Hanwoo, the host can stay engaged with the client and the interpreter throughout the meal.
How to run the dinner
Open with raw saeng-galbi, move through sirloin and tenderloin to show the range of Hanwoo, and add mildly seasoned marinated galbi that suits most palates. Bring one signature wine under the free corkage policy. The restaurant is a 5-minute walk from Apgujeong Rodeo Station Exit 4, easy to reach from major hotels, and reservations are through Catch Table only.
