The seating is mostly:

  • 4-person tables 
  • a few 2-person tables 
  • and a small bar area 

If you’re planning a date or meeting friends, I highly recommend making a reservation.

Lemonade (Starter)

The lemonade arrived first, slightly sweet and refreshing.

It worked perfectly as a light start before the meal.

Cheongyang Rose Pasta

The pasta came out in a generous portion—larger than most places in Seongsu.

The first thing I noticed was the aroma.

A subtle spiciness from Cheongyang chili balanced the richness of the cream-based rosé sauce. It wasn’t overly spicy, but just enough to cut through the creaminess.

The pasta itself was perfectly cooked— chewy, firm, and satisfying.

And surprisingly, the chicken was incredibly tender— so soft that I initially thought it might be scallops.

When the texture started to feel a bit heavy, the homemade pickled radish they provided made everything feel refreshed again.

Steak (Must-Try)
