Mosu: A South Korean Michelin star success story

Mosu, the celebrated restaurant helmed by chef Sung Anh, offers a sophisticated take on Korean cuisine, where seasonal ingredients meet meticulous technique and unexpected combinations. Having earned 3 Michelin stars in the 2023 and 2024 editions, it reopened in March 2025 in a new space in Seoul's Yongsan district. The 2026 Michelin Guide awarded it 2 stars.

The tasting menu explores textures, flavours and Korean culinary traditions, reimagined without losing sight of the ingredients. Signature creations include an abalone taco, sesame tofu and burdock tarte tatin, the last drawing inspiration from a humble Korean home-cooked dish. The kitchen treats seafood thoughtfully, while vegetables and wild botanicals appear in inventive compositions.

The restaurant's contemporary, understated interiors complement the cooking. Counter seats overlooking the open kitchen offer a closer look at the team's precision, while upstairs seating provides greater privacy. An extensive international wine list, with carefully considered pairing options, adds another dimension to the meal.

Mosu is an experience for diners who appreciate culinary craftsmanship, seasonal produce and considered experimentation. Reservations are essential, and the premium pricing makes it a special-occasion destination rather than an everyday indulgence.
