Chef Eom Tae-jun, a Culinary Institute of America graduate who developed his craft at Impression, leads this contemporary Korean dining room with a pronounced French sensibility. The kitchen weaves a clear Solbam identity into dishes and tools — pine needles are burned to scent Hanwoo steak and even used like brushes to paint sauces. From a thoughtful handwritten note before the meal to carefully composed courses and a small gift (including chopsticks) at the end, the restaurant treats the entire arrival-to-departure ritual as part of the dining experience.

Local Tips

  • Signature touch: pine needles used to smoke and brush sauces, most memorably on Hanwoo steak
  • Intimate, reservation-friendly tasting dinner — open Tue–Sat evenings (17:30–22:30)
  • Add the wine or beverage pairing to fully appreciate the multi-course progression
