Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. How do I book?

You can book online through Naver Booking or CatchTable. For groups of 12+ or special requests, calling the restaurant directly (010-4322-1975) is the fastest and most reliable. For weekend dinners and anniversary season, book 2–3 weeks ahead to be safe.

Q2. Can anyone book a two-person room?

Two-person rooms are available only when ordering the All-Day B Course or higher(lunch and dinner alike). A simple seat reservation won't get you a room, so confirm the course you want when you book.

Q3. Is corkage really free? Are there any limits?

Yes — wine, champagne, and whisky are all unlimited and corkage-free. There's no bottle limit either. The opener and one wine glass per person are provided. Few places in Gwanghwamun pair Korean beef dining with corkage-free, so it's popular for wine meetups.

Q4. What's parking like?

You can use D Tower's basement levels 3 through 5, and two hours of free parking is provided regardless of how many cars you bring. Coming in multiple cars for a group dinner is no problem. After two hours, the standard D Tower parking rate applies.

Q5. How do groups of twelve or more work?

For groups of 12+, please call the restaurant directly (010-4322-1975). Room assignment and course planning are tailored to the party size and schedule. It works well for work dinners, year-end parties, or seminars.

Q6. How long does the meal take?

Hall and rooms — weekdays and weekends, lunch and dinner — all run on a 2-hour slot. Two hours fits the rhythm of a Korean beef dining course. The next reservation is scheduled back-to-back, so wrapping up within the time is the norm.
