Quick Answer

As of October 2026, KUT SEOUL operates five private rooms for 2–12 guests: one room for 2–3, two rooms for 2–4, one room for 3–6, and one room for 5–12. Rooms cannot be connected. At dinner, on weekends and public holidays, private-room reservations start with S KUT, 13 dishes for ₩210,000.

The key question when choosing a private room is not simply whether a large room exists. It is whether your party can sit comfortably at one table and which course is available at that time. The five independent rooms introduced on the KUT SEOUL homepage let guests planning a gathering near Gwanghwamun or Jongno choose by party size and purpose.

In a private room, the chef grills the Hanwoo and serves it in the sequence of the course. A dedicated grill and service route allow the party to continue its conversation without grilling the meat themselves.

What should you check for a family meeting, company dinner or family gathering?

For a family meeting, first check whether both sides will sit comfortably across one table. For a company dinner, confirm that the party fits within the 5–12-guest room. For a birthday or milestone gathering, allow for the roughly three-hour course and the guests' travel needs.

What reservation time works best?

A private-room meal takes about three hours. Dinner service runs from 17:30 to 22:00, so starting at 17:30 or 18:00 allows the full course to unfold at an unhurried pace. The reservation is confirmed with a deposit equal to 100% of the selected course total.

Cancellations receive a full refund at least two days before and a 50% refund one day before. Same-day cancellations and no-shows are non-refundable. A complimentary celebration lettering plate can be requested in the reservation note by the day before, and outside cakes are permitted.

KUT SEOUL is at 3F Hanol Tower, 96 Jongno, Jongno-gu, Seoul, about a five-minute walk from Jongno 3-ga Station. Check the rooms available for your date and party size on the reservation page.
