Standout Dishes
Samgyetang: A traditional dish rooted in “yaksik dongwon” or the philosophy that food is nourishing. The whole chicken, stuffed with ginseng, glutinous rice, and medicinal herbs, offers a comforting and rejuvenating experience. First, savor the chicken on its own, then make a delightful porridge with the remaining soup—a testament to the dish’s versatility and depth.
Budae Jjigae: A hearty, savory stew known as Army Stew. This beloved dish is packed with bold flavors, blending classic Korean ingredients like kimchi and hot peppers with Western staples such as canned pork, baked beans, and sausages. Every spoonful delivers a punch of spice and savory goodness.
Sogogi Modeum: Indulge in the prime cuts of high-quality beef that Goryeo is known for. The meat’s perfect fat-to-lean ratio ensures that each piece grilled on our innovative smokeless grill is tender and bursting with flavor. Pair it with crisp lettuce, house-made kimchi, and signature dipping sauces for a truly satisfying experience.
More than just a meal, dining at Goryeo is an opportunity to share stories, strengthen bonds, and nurture the soul – a feast meant to be enjoyed in good company.
