Seoul Salon is Koreatown after dark.

Yukhoe, gochujang ribs and soju cocktails in a bi-level loft on West 33rd Street.

Occupying a chic bi-level loft near Fifth Avenue, Seoul Salon's dim moody lighting, exposed brick walls, and pulsing music create an electric dining room atmosphere.

High-energy Korean drinking food: raw beef yukhoe with crisp Asian pear, spicy gochujang pork ribs with melted mozzarella, and crispy seafood scallion pancakes.

Lively, stylish, and built for conviviality; servers deliver creative soju cocktails and natural wines to celebratory tables that linger late into the night.

Seoul Salon brings modern Seoul nightlife and elevated street-food dining together in the heart of Midtown Manhattan.
