Group dinners in Yongsan: the questions we ask before you book

When a group comes in, there is something to settle before the menu: the exact number of people, the arrival time, the seating you want and the purpose of the meal. Tell us whether it is a work dinner or a get-together, and whether the focus is the food or the drinks, and we can guide you better.

Tell us the party size and arrival time first

Whether we can take a group, and how the seats are arranged, depends on the date, the time and the bookings already in place. Once your numbers are set, check the available times on CATCH TABLE and, if you need to, ask us about seating directly. Even where group seating is listed, it is not run the same way at every hour, so it is safer to check in advance.

Build the first order so everyone can share

With several people, we suggest ordering a range of textures to share rather than a lot of one cut. Keeping tender cuts such as thigh and neck, chewy ones such as gizzard and heart, and crunchy cartilage on the table makes it easy for everyone to find what they like. Taste them in the first round, then add more of whatever went down well, and the whole table is comfortable.

For a dinner gathering, a hot pot anchors the table

If the evening doubles as dinner, add one of motsunabe, torinabe or Kanto-style sukiyaki nabe. Sharing a warm broth between rounds of charcoal grilling keeps the gathering flowing naturally. The right quantity depends not only on the number of people but also on the other dishes and appetites, so rather than a fixed formula, let us work it out together on the day.

We think about the journey there and back too

We are about 300m from Exit 1 of Sinyongsan Station, and there is no dedicated car park. If everyone is setting out separately, it is easier to share the location in terms of public transport. If the dinner is likely to finish late, check that day's closing and last-order times first. We will do what we can to keep the evening running smoothly.
