President of Sokran

Sokran was first established in 1981 with the simple thought of carrying on the traditional Korean cuisine. Even though Sokran experienced various ups and downs along the time, we have grown to become an excellent restaurant continuously loved not only by the Korean customers, but also numerous foreigners, during the past 20 years. Currently, we have set ourselves as a first-class traditional Korean restaurant with the huge space of 350 seats, which is hard to find in Kangbuk. Sokran will continue doing our best to satisfy the tastes of customers from all over the world, as a food culture creator who raises the quality of the Korean cuisine to the next level.

This growth of Sokran is based on our unique philosophy of repaying our customers for their enthusiasm. We have continued developing the taste and quality of our food, and at the same time, minimize the price. We put in our best to practice our philosophy of customer satisfaction by providing the best food to our customers instead of aiming for short-run profits.

 


To practice our philosophy, Sokran's staff has been devoted to strict customer satisfaction in every detail including directly purchasing the day's ingredients at the dawn market, and making every spices. We devoted ourselves to make the food as if for our own loving family, and tried our best for all the customers to enjoy Sokran's cuisine with cleanliness and cheap prices.

Many important guests from overseas have visited Sokran, and praised the traditional Korean cuisine of Sokran. For example, a large number of important people living in Korea, the principal of a world famous cooking school, the wife of former French President, Giscard d'Estaing, etc, have highly praised our cuisine.
