Dining Mokro Seongsu (다이닝 목로 성수점)

Dining Mokro Seongsu (다이닝 목로 성수점) is the Seongsu branch of the popular Apgujeong izakaya, occupying a first-floor space on Yeonmujang 7-ga-gil — about 219 meters from Seongsu Station Exit 4 and positioned squarely in the food-and-drink corridor that has come to define modern Seongsu nightlife. The kitchen leans into the izakaya format — small plates designed to be paired with drinks, served at a pace that encourages lingering — while maintaining the kind of plating standards that signal "dining bar" rather than "drinking spot." The signature dishes pull from Korean and fusion traditions: gopchang jeongol (32,000 KRW), a tripe hot pot deep enough to feed a small group; handmade fried eggplant (19,000 KRW), which the kitchen describes as dumpling-like with meat filling inside — even confirmed eggplant-skeptics tend to come around after a bite; and the cream jjamppong-tang with udon noodles, which loads up the bowl with mussels, squid, shrimp, and crab. The grilled swordfish with house spicy sauce and cheese potato strips (19,000 KRW) round out the regular ordering rotation. Visually, the restaurant takes a gallery-forward approach — Edward Hopper paintings hang throughout the space, lending the room a quiet, painterly atmosphere that lands somewhere between a Tokyo izakaya and a Chelsea gallery wine bar. Hours run from 16:00 to 01:00, making this an obvious dinner-into-late-night pick rather than a lunch option. With 109 Google reviews at a 4.9-star average, Dining Mokro represents the kind of high-execution evening venue that gives Seongsu its nightlife reputation.
