Sogonggan, a name that plays on the dual meaning of “small space” and “a place for beef,” offers a menu full of heartfelt dishes rooted in Korean cuisine. The chef, who previously cooked Western food, eventually transitioned to Korean cuisine. He says that he now cooks with the joy of someone wearing a perfectly tailored suit. That ease is reflected in his cooking: elegant plating, inventive recipes, and refined Korean dishes such as gomtang simmered for 48 hours and rice cooked in a traditional pot. A small bowl of gomtang for children is also available, making it a family-friendly dining option.
