Samsunggak, a Chinese restaurant in Gangnam

Samsunggak is a Chinese restaurant in Gangnam with private rooms, worth going out of your way for. Samsung Town is right nearby, so I suspect that is where the name Samsunggak comes from.

It is on the pricier side, the service is good, and there are private rooms, so it is a fine Chinese restaurant for a group dinner. Honestly, going only as far as Sanghaeru would already get you good food, but that is a bit of a trek, so around this neighborhood this looks like a solid choice for a gathering.
