Korea House

한국의집

Royal court food in a hanok built as the state guesthouse.

Korea House opened in 1957 as a guesthouse for the government's visitors and is run today by the Korea Heritage Service Promotion Institute. After eight months of renovation it reopened on 11 March 2026, with the hanok halls, annex and garden restored.

The kitchen cooks Joseon court food from old recipe books and seasonal ingredients, and Gohojae serves royal tea and confections in the hanok. It sits below Namsan, next to Namsangol Hanok Village.

Before you go

  • Book ahead; seasonal menus and Gohojae sittings sell out.
  • Pair it with Namsangol Hanok Village next door, or an evening at N Seoul Tower above.
