Maple Tree House 단풍나무집

Tucked behind Hamilton Hotel, Maple Tree House is one of a trend in upscale Korean barbecue joints that has been spreading through the Seoul area. I'm not a fan of this trend because it seems many restaurateurs are missing the point of fine dining. It's more than just upping the price and reducing the dishes. You have to increase the quality too. Maple Tree House has a great interior. It does give a limited amount of banchan at a more expensive price. But they do serve some good pork cheek, if you're into that sort of thing. If you care more about the setting than getting quality food for your money, or if you're not a fan of lots of banchan, this is your place.
