I visited for the first time on a Saturday night. The Garden Place was crowded, and the atmosphere was lively. I reserved a private room for today, and the night view from the room was fantastic. The restaurant's ambiance and service were both excellent. I had recently traveled to Korea and was craving the food again, but... the dishes were generally mild and were adapted for Japanese tastes. Since I had children with me, the food was easy to eat, but I felt it was a bit lacking for adults. I marked the dishes that were delicious with a circle. The quality of the food can vary depending on the menu, so be careful when ordering. The champagne makgeolli was incredibly tasty. Dining while enjoying the night view was a very pleasant experience. Besides the private rooms, there are couple seats available as well, allowing for a nice meal with a view. If you’re interested, I definitely recommend checking it out!

I visited a Korean restaurant on the 39th floor of Ebisu Garden Place for the first time. I opted for a course menu priced at 7,700 yen, which included an additional 2,200 yen for unlimited drinks. To sum it up, the experience exceeded my expectations. Every dish that was served was delicious, and it made me want to keep drinking. The juicy Myeongdong dumplings, the spicy japchae with a kick from green chili peppers, and the main dish, Chogetakkhanmari, which included abalone, were all great value. I couldn't stop drinking the makgeolli. We finished the meal with yukgaejang, yukke bibimbap, and chocolate cake, leaving us completely satisfied. The night view from the 39th floor faced west, offering an unobstructed view all the way to Musashi Kosugi and Yokohama, making the dining experience feel special and rare. We were in a private room, but there were also counter seats by the window and cozy sofa seats, creating a nice atmosphere. My companions expressed their satisfaction, with one saying, "I want to bring my family next time."

I sat at the counter seat. Although the Tokyo Tower is on the opposite side, the night view is beautiful and takes my breath away. I ordered the course meal. I’m not good with spicy food, but nothing was too spicy. More than that, each dish had a very gentle flavor and felt healthy. The portion of the course wasn’t too large, so even women can feel satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

NORAN's round Mandu in Myeongdong is a signature dish, and it's even better when enjoyed with a set of cold noodles. The small bowls of four side dishes add to the authentic Korean dining experience! The chewy texture of the slippery noodles was fun to eat, and the tea was delicious too. YGP (Yebisu Garden Place) has restaurant floors on the 38th and 39th levels, and when I visited recently, I noticed many new establishments. This restaurant features a counter with window seating and round bench seats, offering a variety of seating options. As for Korean cuisine, there are about three restaurants in Yebisu, along with sushi, Chinese, and other types of cuisine available!

I visited NORAN, located on the 39th floor of Ebisu Garden Place, for a friend's birthday party. Since it had just opened, the space was very clean and stylish, with a chic atmosphere. The interior was surprisingly not what you would expect from a Korean restaurant, which felt refreshing—perfect for the trendy vibe of Garden Place. The night view from some seats was absolutely stunning, making it a great spot for a date. Initially, we were seated at a table where the view was not very visible, so we requested a change, and the staff kindly accommodated us. Even though our party size increased unexpectedly, the staff were very accommodating. The food was delicious, especially the raw crab (gejang) and the chicken soup (dakhanmari), which were both outstanding. Although we had a course meal that day, I checked the menu and found the prices very reasonable for the quality. Overall, we had a wonderful birthday celebration, and I would definitely love to visit this restaurant again.

The scenery is absolutely wonderful. I think Korean cuisine is very appealing to women in this setting. If the weather is clear, I recommend sitting at the counter by the window where you can see Mount Fuji. I had the lunch course with marinated crab, and it was authentic and very delicious. I also heard they have a teppanyaki menu, so next time I want to try that as well.

Located on the 39th floor of Garden Place with views of Mount Fuji, the counter seats by the window offer a breathtaking view (watch out for sunburn!). I visited for lunch on a Sunday and was seated without any wait. I ordered the vegetable bibimbap, which came with three Gyoza from Myeongdong. It included four types of banchan, and I was very satisfied with both the taste and portion size. I had actually been looking forward to trying the patbingsu featured on the poster outside for dessert, but unfortunately, it’s only available from 5 PM! So, if you plan to visit for lunch, keep in mind that you won't be able to have it.

I used a private room, and the view was amazing. The food was, of course, delicious, and there was a wide variety of wines. With the beautiful scenery and tasty dishes, I ended up drinking too much. The staff recommended an orange wine that pairs well with Korean cuisine! I was also thrilled to find that they had my wish for Boksoondoga Makgeolli!

The newly opened restaurant has a beautiful and stylish interior! Although it serves Korean cuisine, it has a charming and cute appearance that's great for dates, rather than a typical casual look. I tried the cold noodles, and the texture was wonderfully chewy and delicious. The Myeongdong dumplings were juicy and also really tasty! ✨

I visited for lunch. I was aiming for the Kal-guksu and Myeongdong dumpling set lunch, but unfortunately, they didn't have Kal-guksu because it's summer. Instead, I ordered the Yukgaejang cold noodles and the Myeongdong dumpling set, and I actually liked the dumplings better than the ones I had at the restaurant in Korea! The Yukgaejang cold noodles were also very much to my taste, with a wonderful aroma of perilla leaves. The view was great, and the restaurant was clean and stylish since it had just opened. It was a lovely Korean lunch, and I really liked it! I’d love to visit again for dinner next time!

I visited for lunch and it seems that Myeongdong Gyoza is a popular place. I ordered a set that included three Myeongdong Gyozas and Yukhoe Bibimbap. I forgot to take a photo, but there was a complimentary serving of namul and kimchi as an appetizer. The Myeongdong Gyozas have a flavor similar to shumai. They are juicy and to my liking. The Yukhoe Bibimbap was different from what I expected; it wasn't served in a stone pot, but rather it felt more like a Korean-style mixed rice dish. If you're planning to visit, I recommend the Myeongdong Gyozas.

[Nearest Station] Ebisu Station East Exit → About a 7-minute walk to Ebisu Garden Place Tower 39F. 【NEW OPEN on June 10, 2024!!】 A Korean restaurant has opened on the top floor of Garden Place, so I went to check it out! Across the street, there is a Thai restaurant called "Longrain," which I use quite often. While "Longrain" offers a view of Tokyo Tower, "NORAN" provides a stunning view of Mount Fuji for a fantastic dining experience. The interior is designed in gray tones, creating a sophisticated urban restaurant atmosphere. There are counter seats along the back window facing the view, making it perfect for dates! Additionally, there are private booths and private rooms available, making it suitable for various occasions like business meetings. I don't often eat Korean food, but today I decided to order a la carte instead of a course and start with a variety of dishes! [Today's Order] *Prices are tax included ◉ Banchan (Appetizer) ¥550 - A selection of garlic leaves in soy sauce, pickled onions, kimchi, and bean sprout namul served in small dishes for each person. For 550 yen, this provides great satisfaction and taste! ◉ NORAN Yukhoe ¥1,650 - A beautifully presented yukhoe with squid and meat mixed together at the bottom for a new texture, topped with plenty of perilla paste. The unique flavor of the perilla balanced the dish perfectly. ◉ Dunkalbi Gui ¥3,080 - Bone-in short ribs that are incredibly tender and fall-off-the-bone delicious. The sweet sauce is also great! ◉ Myeongdong Gyoza (4 pieces) ¥880 - Juicy like soup dumplings, bursting with meat juices, and the crispy texture of the vegetables shines in this dish. ◉ Today's Kejang ¥3,080 - Today's kejang features a whole snow crab. It’s best to wear gloves and eat it with gusto! The fresh crab meat is plump and delightfully delicious. ◉ Green Chili and Burdock Japchae ¥1,100 - The classic ingredients of japchae, such as sweet potato noodles and various vegetables, come together well while letting the green chili and burdock showcase their individuality. The green chili adds a particularly refreshing accent that keeps it enjoyable. ◉ Fern Namul ¥440 ◉ Umeboshi Kimchi ¥550 ◉ Beet Namul ¥440 ◉ Steamed Radish Namul ¥440 ◉ Baechu Kimchi ¥550 - I may have ordered too many namul dishes, haha! Each one pairs perfectly with drinks! The baechu kimchi has a unique flavor that might be polarizing; it has a very sweet entry followed by a spicy kick, differing greatly from the kimchi most are used to, so be aware! ◉ Beef Tongue and Kimchi Kimbap ¥1,650 - I ordered the kimbap without realizing it was a seaweed roll, haha! However, the texture of the beef tongue stands out, and it pairs well with the kimchi. ◉ Beef Tongue Suy ¥1,650 - Thinly sliced and slightly rare beef tongue is served with garlic leaves and mustard. The mustard packs a punch, so be careful not to add too much, or it might overwhelm your taste buds, lol. ◉ Mascarpone Brûlée Cheesecake ¥880 - A melt-in-your-mouth cheesecake that is caramelized with a torch right in front of you. It’s not overly sweet, and the crispy burnt sugar adds a delightful contrast in texture. [Drinks] ◉ Shun Tsuji Fully Ripe Orange ¥715 ◉ Suwa Murakami Winery Peach Juice ¥825 Since it just opened and perhaps hasn't gained recognition yet, there were quite a few vacant tables on a weekday evening. However, with this stunning view of Mount Fuji, it's in the perfect location and will likely become popular soon, making reservations harder to come by! Thank you for the meal!

I used this place for lunch! The weather was nice, and the view was great, which made it very pleasant. The seats were spacious, allowing me to relax. The yukke bibimbap was quite impressive on the plate, and I thought I might not be able to finish it, but the portion was actually just right, and I enjoyed every bite. The Myeongdong dumplings had a rich flavor and were delicious, so it's definitely worth getting them as a set. I had a sip of the yukke cold noodles, and they were refreshing and tasty as well. If you're someone who is afraid of heights, you might find sitting by the window a little scary, so it's good to be mindful of that if you're bringing someone along! (laughs)

A new Korean restaurant has opened up. It has a beautiful interior and a great view at Garden Place. The food was delicious! The yukhoe and ganjang gejang were particularly memorable. I highly recommend the bibim naengmyeon at the end of the course, as well as the makgeolli ice cream.

I visited "NORAN Ebisu Garden Place," which just opened in June 2024, located about a 5-minute walk from the East Exit of Ebisu Station. I read reviews from trusted reviewers and decided to check it out. Fortunately, on the weekend, I was able to be seated by the window without any wait. Although it was a bit hazy, I could see Mount Fuji, making for a refreshing lunchtime experience! Ordering was done via QR code. I had: ◇ Vegetable Bibimbap Dumplings - 1,980 yen 4 types of banchan (side dishes), 3 Myeongdong dumplings, and a choice to change the soup to Sundubu Jjigae for an additional 500 yen. I switched the rice to 16-grain rice. ◇ Nabe Yaki Bibimbap and Sundubu Jjigae - 1,826 yen 4 types of banchan, bibimbap, and Sundubu Jjigae. I added 2 Myeongdong dumplings for 396 yen. I enjoyed a set that included plenty of vegetables in the bibimbap and Sundubu Jjigae. The 4 types of banchan were served first, followed by freshly steamed house-made Myeongdong dumplings. These Myeongdong dumplings are said to be very popular and remind me of Xiao Long Bao in texture, as they are larger and burst with juice. In Korea, dumplings are called "mandu." Unlike Japanese gyoza, which are usually bite-sized, these dumplings are bigger and give a rich flavor. The bibimbap was filled with lots of vegetables, and the Sundubu Jjigae was served piping hot! I've traveled to Korea often, but this was my first time trying Myeongdong dumplings. You can also enjoy the view from the high floors. It would be lovely to enjoy a toast with makkoli while taking in the night view! Thank you for the valuable information! It was a great meal!

This newly opened restaurant was perfect for my craving for a lot of vegetables, so I ordered this dish. It comes with four types of side dishes, following the authentic Korean style. You can choose either three or five dumplings from Myeongdong Dumpling as a set. The rice underneath the various vegetables can be switched from white rice to multi-grain rice, making it perfect for health-conscious individuals looking to boost their feminine charm. ♡ Since the weather was nice, we chose to sit side by side, but the table seating looks spacious and the decor is lovely.

The 39th floor at Garden Place offers a romantic space where you can also enjoy fireworks. On the opening day, I went for lunch with two staff members. There were four types on the lunch menu, including the Myeongdong dumplings and a small pot of Kamjatang. We all ordered different sets, but I forgot to take a photo of mine (^^;;). The portions were generous, and the pot was quite watery, so I couldn't finish the rice... The Myeongdong dumplings were also hearty and very delicious. Plus, there was a handsome staff member there (o^^o).

A Korean restaurant has opened on the 39th floor of Ebisu Garden Place. Since it's a sister restaurant of a place I often visit in Ebisu, I had received an invitation in advance and decided to go on opening day. The atmosphere is incredibly stylish, standing out as one of the best Korean restaurants I've seen. I sat at a counter by the window, enjoying a great view. I ordered their specialty, the raw crab (kejang), along with the famous Myeongdong dumplings. The crab was perfectly sized, allowing for enjoyment of the meat even in the legs, and it had a refreshing taste, not overly pickled. I also added their recommended potato soup (gamjatang), which is perfect for the humid season. With such a lovely location and reasonable prices, it seems like a great spot for dates in Ebisu and is likely to be quite popular. There are also private rooms available, making it suitable for business meetings as well.

I didn't find the place crowded before 13:30, but the food took surprisingly long to be served, which made me a bit anxious about the time while eating. It was around 1300 yen, but the cost performance was good, and the gyoza was delicious! I ordered bibimbap, but it had no meat and was filled with a mountain of vegetables on top of white rice, so while it was healthy, I found it a bit lacking in substance. There were no photos for mobile ordering, so I couldn't get a clear idea of the dishes, which makes me hesitant about returning for a second visit.
