Jogakbo restaurant, located on the second floor of the Andaz Seoul Gangnam, will unveil its new menu on March 1 for its three unique interactive dining zones ― Seafood Grill, Meat & Co. and Bites & Wine.
Each interactive kitchen offers a menu prepared by specialist chefs with distinctive cooking techniques and styles, inviting diners to view the gourmet ingredients of the day that each zone features.
The hotel said each zone of the relaunched Jogakbo offers a creative way to enjoy intimate occasions or casual social gatherings by catering to diners seeking quality experiences in an engaging and energetic atmosphere.
To celebrate its relaunch, Jogakbo will offer diners 30 percent discounts on the menus at Seafood Grill and Meat & Co. in March. This offer is available through Andaz Seoul Gangnam's KakaoTalk channel.
Seafood Grill features fireside-cooking cuisine with pan-Asian flavors. Live seafood from the markets and a selection of the day's fresh catch will be grilled on skewers over charcoal.

"Our strong relationships with local fishermen and qualification as Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC)-certified seafood purveyors enable us to offer a rotating seasonal selection prepared to perfection," an official from Andaz Seoul Gangnam said.
Counter seats offer diners the opportunity to interact with the chef and review the variety of seafood on offer, while watching as their selection is prepared over the fire.
At lunch time, light meals, skewers and grilled dishes will be available at reasonable prices.
At Meat & Co., premium cuts of beef from Korea, the United States and Australia are skillfully prepared in the oven, along with a variety of roasted and baked specialties.
