Jongno Restaurant Amso Seoul Unveils Smart Dining Room in Collaboration with Samsung

Amsoseoul announced the launch of a smart dining room where orders can be placed through an AI speaker. Known as a popular restaurant in Jongno, Amsoseoul is a new Korean dining brand by Open Co., Ltd., a food service company that operates Tokyo Deungsim, Modou, and Chef's Butcher Shop.

At Amsoseoul, a renowned Jongno restaurant famous for the collaboration between Executive Chef Tony Jung and Korean culinary masters, guests can experience mother-of-pearl inlay, jang (fermented sauces), salted seafood, traditional Korean sweets, as well as the three major traditional liquors that represented the Joseon Dynasty. Additionally, the newly introduced smart dining room allows customers to place orders using an AI speaker.

An Amsoseoul representative stated, “We have developed an AI speaker ordering system for the Amsoseoul smart dining room. When customers place an order through the speaker, the order appears on the Galaxy Watch of the assigned server. Guests can also enjoy videos on the Samsung Frame TV, and with the Samsung AirDresser available, they can maintain a fresh state without worrying about meat odors on their clothes. The room accommodates up to eight people, making it ideal for office gatherings and various meetings.”

Meanwhile, Amsoseoul in Jongno offers lunch or dinner courses. The Jongga course starts with bite-sized oyster dishes, followed by chestnut tarakjuk (porridge), gamtae (seaweed), shrimp jeonbyeong nurumi (shrimp pancake), sea bream sashimi, abalone jeong, braised napa cabbage wrapped meat, grilled medium-aged Amsoseoul Hanwoo sirloin, gondre rice, yukgaejang (spicy beef soup), and desserts including sujeonhwa (traditional flower tea), pumpkin manjoo (steamed bun), baeknyeoncho hangwa (traditional sweets), and dried persimmon walnut rolls.

Chef Tony Jung said, “The Amsoseoul menu was completed based on old texts from the Joseon Dynasty. We recreated menus from the noble yangban and aristocratic Jongga families who enjoyed fine dining in Hanyang. We fully incorporated the wisdom of Korean cuisine masters, including the great Korean food expert Shim Youngsoon and intangible cultural heritage food artisans.”

Amsoseoul is located on the basement first floor of the Concordian Building, a five-minute walk from Gwanghwamun Station Exit 6. Reservations and inquiries can be made by phone or through Naver Reservation.
