Food

Seoul provides a variety of selection of different cuisines from all over the world. You can definitely enjoy great traditional Korean dishes but can even find decent quality of others also. Here are some good Korean dishes that you should try!

K-BBQ: Beef, Pork, Chicken are the most common but if you wanna try something new give it a try on grilled eel or spicy stir-fried chicken (닭갈비)

Raw crabs marinated in soy sauce (간장게장): This is the real cooked rice thief (밥도둑), if you are into crab dishes, this is a must-try! The combination of sweet soy sauce and raw crab is just fantastic.

Korean pancakes (전): Any ingredients that you can think of are mixed with wheat flours into pancakes. The most famous ones are seafood and green onion pancake (해물파전), beef pancake (육전), kimchi pancake (김치전) but if you order assorted pancakes you can definitely try all of them in one dish + don’t forget to try them with Korean rice wine/Makgelli (막걸리), they go along with perfectly!

Raw fish (회): There are a variety of raw seafood in Korea that you can enjoy including fish, shellfish, squid, etc. We mostly eat raw fish with soy sauce and red pepper paste (초고추장) with Japanese horseradish.

Korean soup (찌개): Soups are one of the main dishes in Korea. Soy bean paste soup(된장찌개), Kimchi soup(김치찌개), Soft tofu soup (순두부찌개) are the most famous ones and they are easily accessible in most of the restaurants. They are also very good for hangover cures :)

✅ Things to Note

• Most restaurants can be reserved through an app called Catchtable, which is similar to Resy. We highly recommend using this app if you're trying to book somewhere nice!
• Delivery is huge in Korea, with most restaurants offering delivery options. You can easily order through apps like Baedal Minjok or Coupang Eats. https://stay.enkor.kr/blog/how-to-order-food-using-food-delivery-apps-in-korea
