Chikurin (竹林) means 'bamboo forest' in Japanese. At first glance, each bamboo appears to grow alone, but in reality, they are connected by a single root deep underground, supporting and growing together.

In this way, Chikurin symbolizes how the culinary methods and philosophies of various countries, including Japan, are interconnected like the roots of bamboo, creating a complete dish.

Chikurin Seoul operates differently for lunch and dinner. For lunch, we offer a carefully grilled 'Charcoal Grilled Set' at a reasonable price, providing a quiet and cozy space for a precious break during a busy day.

For dinner, we focus on yakitori course dishes. Each part of the chicken is carefully prepared, skewered, and grilled over charcoal, utilizing culinary skills from various countries.

The chefs at Chikurin base their techniques on traditional Japanese methods, while harmoniously incorporating elements such as French sauces, Southeast Asian spices, and Korean ingredients to create unique flavors.

For example, chicken liver skewers are served with a French-style sauce, and chicken skin is enhanced with yuzu peel and lemongrass for a refreshing touch, delivering familiar yet new flavors.

The layout of the space is also meticulously designed, just like the dishes.
With a warm wooden tone interior, lighting and structure inspired by Japanese houses, and a quiet atmosphere at the bar seating,
it is designed to provide a satisfying dining experience whether you are alone, with a partner, or in a group for a family gathering or small meeting.
