Goryori Ken (Korean: 고료리 켄; Japanese: 小料理 健, lit. 'small food Geon') is a fine dining restaurant in Seoul, South Korea. It serves contemporary Japanese cuisine. It opened in 2016, and received one Michelin Star beginning in 2022.[1]
Its chef-owner is Kim Geon (김건), whom the restaurant is named for.[1] Kim is reportedly reputed for having brought Japanese izakaya culture to Seoul. The restaurant reportedly orients the dining experience around the drinks chosen, rather than around the food.[2] The restaurant was reportedly closed for some time, and reopened in 2019.[3]
