Hwanggeo Japanese Restaurant
From the official web site

Cuisine: Japanese
Price: $$$
Reservations: Required
Suggested Items: Any of the course menus
This is a very upscale, very expensive restaurant suitable for important business meetings. The entire building looks lke a Japanese castle, and once you cross the bridge over the coy pond into the lobby, the interior features waterfalls and other neat stuff. The entire restaurant is composed of private dining rooms where you sit on the floor but there is a space cut of the floor beneath the table so you don’t have to fold your legs.
Personally, I was not very impressed with this restaurant’s Japanese food. The restaurant was very pretentious. If you want great food, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant. But if you really want to impress a VIP or important business colleague, this is definitely the place to do it. If you have an expense account, I’d definitely try this place once.
Course menus were typically $100 or more per person.
Oh, another negative about this restaurant was that it’s so damn far from downtown.

Location
From Haggye Station exit 3, walk east approximately 200 meters and turn right. Look for a six- or seven-story building that looks like a large Japanese castle. At night, there is a large red neon sign with the restaurant’s name in Hangul is on top of the building.
