The La Cucina restaurant opposite from the Grand Hyatt in Seoul is an excellent refuge for someone missing Western style steak in Korea. They have a tasty 4-course set lunch with steak & sides as entree. There is a nice view of central Seoul below and it's nearly always packed with Korean and foreign businessmen, media and fashion people.

Best steak in Asia so far has been in a traditional (and well known) Korean "Kobe"-style beef restaurant in rural Damyang in the SW. They serve Korean steak tartare as starters and then Bulgogi type grill-your-own prime cuts as the main dish. According to Korean custom the meat is wrapped in sesame and salad leaves together with garlic gloves, chilies and some soybean paste. The taste is nothing short of Kobe beef and prices are equally steep. But after having the steak meal, some soju and looking at the mountains outside there will be no regrets.

How is the New York Bar & Grill in the PH Tokyo for steak? Have never tried it there.
