The menu and per-person cost at Seolya Galbi Cheongdam are relatively predictable within the Cheongdam galbi category. Across four visits we ordered for lunch, dinner, client hosting, and family settings — this post compiles those orders and price points in one reference. The main review sits at Seolya Galbi Cheongdam — the complete client hosting & gathering guide; this post zooms in on menu and price only.
Per-person cost at a glance — by occasion
| Occasion | Per person (incl. drinks) | Composition |
|---|---|---|
| Lunch (single dish + rice/noodle) | 50K-80K KRW | Lunch-only à la carte + doenjang stew / cold noodles |
| Lunch business meeting | 60K-90K KRW | As above + non-alc beverage or a short wine pour |
| Dinner casual gathering (4 pax) | 100K-130K KRW | Course + sides + soju / beer |
| Dinner exec client hosting (4-6 pax) | 130K-170K KRW | Course + 1 corkage wine + finishing |
| Dinner family gathering (5-6 pax) | 110K-140K KRW | Course + generous sides + kid-friendly portions |
The narrow per-head spread is this restaurant’s operational strength. In groups of 4+, side and drink composition mistakes don’t blow up the per-head bill. For occasions like executive hosting that need budget locked in advance, the math stays simple.
Menu composition — by category
Hanwoo mains (dinner course centerpiece)
| Dish | Category | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Marinated Galbi (yangnyeom galbi) | Signature | Un-sweet marinade is the core. Staff intervenes at the right grilling moments. |
| Unseasoned Galbi (saeng galbi) | Open-flame hanwoo | Texture-forward cut over marbling-forward |
| Brisket (chadolbaegi) yukhoe | Starter | Pre-seasoned, pairs cleanly with drinks |
| Garlic Tenderloin | Grilled side | Subtle garlic note, soft tenderloin texture |
Finishing dishes / rice
- Doenjang stew — Classic Korean finish, balanced (not over-salted).
- Cold noodles (naengmyeon) — Thin noodles, clear broth. Fits hot-season closing.
- Hot stone pot rice (dolsot bap) — Best finishing for 4+ family gatherings.
Lunch-only menu
At lunch, à la carte + doenjang / naengmyeon finish is more natural than a full course. Lands in the 50K-80K KRW per-head range and suits “business lunch + short meeting” occasions. Fits one tier above 1-on-1 counter-seat meetings like Kaden Seolleung — i.e. director-level (bujang-and-up) co-seating.
Drinks & corkage
| Soju | Standard soju lineup |
|---|---|
| Beer | Domestic + some imports |
| Wine list | Mid-upper tier. 70K-250K KRW range is the core. |
| Corkage | 1 bottle (750ml) free · paid from the 2nd bottle |
The corkage policy is among the most generous in the Cheongdam hanwoo category. At an executive client dinner, the host’s ability to bring a designated wine becomes a core variable in per-head cost control.
Order composition by occasion type
① Executive client dinner — 4 pax
- Starter: 1 brisket yukhoe
- Main: marinated galbi + saeng galbi course (4 servings)
- Side: 1 garlic tenderloin
- Finish: doenjang stew + cold noodles or dolsot bap
- Drinks: 1 corkage wine + 1-2 bottles soju
- Per person: 130K-170K KRW
Adding a corkage wine raises the per-head bill by about 10-20K, but when the client brought the wine, the impression-tier gain outweighs the delta.
② Family gathering — 6 pax
- Starter: 2 brisket yukhoe (or 1 + more sides)
- Main: marinated + saeng galbi course (6 servings)
- Side: 2 garlic tenderloin
- Finish: doenjang stew + dolsot bap + cold noodles (separable for kids)
- Drinks: 2-3 bottles soju or 1 wine
- Per person: 110K-140K KRW
③ Business lunch — 2-3 pax
- Main: lunch single (marinated or saeng) per person
- Finish: cold noodles or doenjang stew
- Drinks: non-alc or a single short wine pour
- Per person: 60K-90K KRW
Price positioning — within the Cheongdam galbi category
| Restaurant | Dinner per-head (est.) | Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Seolya Galbi Cheongdam | 120K-150K KRW | Mid-upper |
| Samwon Garden (main) | 100K-140K KRW | Mid |
| Mongtan Hannam/Cheongdam (ref.) | 80K-120K KRW | Lower-mid |
| Hanusso Cheongdam (ref.) | 150K-250K KRW | Upper |
| Jungsik Cheongdam (Korean fine) | 250K-350K KRW | Top tier (different category) |
Seolya sits in the mid-upper band, but with no separate room fee and a generous corkage policy, the realized per-head bill maps cleanly to “menu price + small variance”. It is the easiest-to-predict price point in the Cheongdam galbi category.
Price-change timing — increase patterns
Menu prices track hanwoo spot prices and tend to adjust 1-2 times per year, usually in Jan-Feb or Jul-Aug (the typical hanwoo market shift windows). Increases generally land in the 5-10% range. The figures in this post are as of April 2026 and may vary ±5-10% depending on visit timing.
FAQ
Can I order just a galbi single dish at lunch?
Yes. Beyond the dedicated lunch menu, à la carte orders are accepted, landing around 50K-60K KRW per person. Lunch seating turns over fast, so it doesn’t fit a slow-paced lunch.
Is solo dining workable?
It’s possible operationally, but the course structure means it’s not efficient. For solo dining, a counter-seat venue like Kaden Seolleung fits better.
Are corporate cards accepted?
Yes. Corporate card payment + receipt processing runs smoothly at executive dinner settings. No advance arrangement is needed.
Are there kids’ menus?
No dedicated kids’ menu category, but at family gatherings the staff naturally adjusts portion sizes and omits spicy marinades. Noting it on the Catch Table memo in advance smooths the flow.
How exactly does the 1-bottle corkage work?
One 750ml bottle is free; corkage fees start from the second bottle. Magnum sizes are handled separately and require advance contact. The full corkage breakdown is covered in the main guide.
Summary
Lunch lands at 50K-80K KRW per person, dinner at 120K-150K KRW per person — those are the standard per-head bands at Seolya Galbi Cheongdam. The figure shifts by occasion: executive hosting 130K-170K, family gathering 110K-140K, business lunch 60K-90K. The 1-bottle-free corkage policy and no-room-fee structure are the core variables that hold per-head costs predictable. After four visits, the conclusion stands: it is the most price-predictable venue in the Cheongdam galbi category.
