Philosophy
A Tribute to the Roots of Korean Barbecue
In the late 1970s and early '80s, Korea's barbecue restaurants became places for family gatherings, warm hospitality and flavors that last.
Our name comes from Seocho, a district in the heart of Seoul known for its refined dining culture. At Seocho 1978 we bring that same care to Quezon City: carefully selected beef and pork, a marinade recipe passed down through generations, and side dishes made the Korean way.
