  • Seolya with guests for 2: plain ribs & tenderloin, orders

    For hosting overseas guests, the host needs to explain Korean cut names and weight-based prices. A search for Korean BBQ in Seoul can lead to Seolya Galbi Cheongdam, where unseasoned premium galbi and 26mm garlic tenderloin offer two specific starting points for an order. For a party of 2, the useful comparison is the listed weight, the room arrangement and the costs included in the plan.

    Read the weight-based menu

    The menu lists unseasoned premium galbi at KRW 59,000 per 100g and 26mm garlic tenderloin at KRW 49,000 per 100g. The difference at the same displayed weight is KRW 10,000. For hosting overseas guests, translate the cut and the 100g unit separately when discussing the order. A 100g price is a comparison unit, not a stated per-person meal price. Marinated galbi uses seasoning, while unseasoned galbi is also cooked on the grill; tenderloin, sirloin and brisket are different cuts.

    An order that leaves room for conversation

    For hosting overseas guests, translate the cut and the 100g unit separately when discussing the order. Seolya describes staff grilling at the table, so the host does not need to plan the meal as a self-grilling task. Tell the staff about cooking preferences or allergies before ordering unseasoned premium galbi and 26mm garlic tenderloin; published menu names alone do not settle individual dietary requirements.

    Worked price example, not an offered set
    Item Illustrative quantity Listed-price subtotal
    unseasoned premium galbi 300g KRW 177,000
    26mm garlic tenderloin 200g KRW 98,000
    Jeju hojicha bingsu 1 KRW 18,000

    An illustrative order of 300g of unseasoned premium galbi, 200g of 26mm garlic tenderloin and one order of Jeju hojicha bingsu adds up to KRW 293,000 at the displayed prices. An equal division among 2 would be about KRW 146,500 each. This is arithmetic for those assumed items, not a recommended intake, an available set or a promise that these weights can be ordered. Confirm the actual portions and add drinks or any other charges separately.

    Settle the room and the time

    With 2 guests, the published two- or three-person room charge is relevant: KRW 40,000. The listed waiver thresholds are KRW 400,000 for a four-person room and KRW 500,000 for a six-person room. Compare the food example of KRW 293,000 with the applicable threshold, then ask which charges count toward it. For 2 people coming for hosting overseas guests, keep the menu shortlist, requested seating and arrival time together. Current dinner service is 17:30-22:00, with last orders at 21:00; lunch is temporarily suspended. Check the selected date on the official booking page and confirm a specific room or valet arrangement directly.
