Haven Nº 042 — Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam, Seoul
Mingles
Every Korean kitchen keeps three sauces. At Mingles, all three end up in dessert.
Seoul
A city of counters, and the three sauces of its kitchens.
Mingoo Kang opened Mingles in 2014 and built it on jang: soy sauce, soybean paste and chili paste, the fermented base of Korean food. By the restaurant’s own list of awards, it holds three Michelin stars in the 2025 and 2026 guides. Lunch is the way in.
