"Xian's head restaurant opened in Chungdam-dong in 1998 as Korea's first high-end fusion restaurant. It ignited considerable buzz in the Kangnam area and Little Xian was launched in Shinsegae Kangnam in 2002 as a relaxed counterpart to its older sibling. After renovations in 2011, the restaurant changed its name to Xian and adopted the Oriental Brasserie slogan. The strong food philosophy and calm atmosphere are helping Xian cement its status as a Kangnam food attraction."
