Our Story
Seoul Garden was born from a single cast-iron pot and a very long flight. Jisun Park arrived in Den Haag from Mapo-gu in 2003, carrying her mother's handwritten recipe book and a quiet determination to feed her new city the way she had been fed at home.
She found a narrow shopfront on Bagijnestraat — a street of cobblestones and canal light — and opened with six tables and one menu. Twenty years on, the menu has grown, the tables have filled, and the cast-iron pot is still on the stove every morning.
Every dish here traces a line back to the Korean peninsula: the sharp bite of housemade kimchi, the slow patience of braised galbi, the communal ritual of the grill. Come hungry. Stay long.
