Opening in October 2025 -
Hwaro is a chef’s counter dining experience within Gui Steakhouse, featuring a curated Chef’s fine dining tasting menu experience. It’s an intimate sophisticated chef’s counter. It’s an open kitchen concept that provides an effective energy between the chefs, guests and the service team. Hwaro offers a tasting menu of the best quality meat and seasonal ingredients.
Named after the traditional Korean 화로, a charcoal brazier used for both cooking and warmth, Hwaro embodies the spirit of gathering. Historically, the hwaro was placed at the center of the home—where meals were shared, stories exchanged, and bonds deepened around the fire. That sense of connection and comfort is woven into every part of the experience.
Chef Sungchul Shim’s menu reflects a deep respect for Korean culinary tradition while embracing the broader flavors and ingredients of East Asia. Dishes are crafted with time-honored techniques like fermentation and charcoal grilling, paired with modern elements such as interactive chef’s counter service, refined presentation, and globally inspired flavor pairings. Seasonal and local ingredients shape the rhythm of the menu, offering a sense of place and time with every course.
The menu at Hwaro offers to unfold gradually—building warmth, depth, and surprise—just like a conversation around the fire.
