Gangdong-gu in southeastern Seoul is a family-oriented district known for its community markets and traditional Korean restaurants. Cheonho Market offers one of Seoul's best selections of traditional banchan, grilled fish, and home-style Korean cooking away from the tourist circuit.
Hey there. There is this quiet little seafood place about ten minutes from where I live. For the longest time, I kept asking myself why it was always so busy. It does not have a fancy interior. It is not located in a particularly convenient spot either. Nothing about it stands out from the outside. But once I stepped in and tried the food, it all made sense. The seafood is incredibly fresh. One dish even came with a small octopus that was still moving. I had never seen anything like that before. The portions were big too, especially considering how expensive seafood usually is in Korea. The service was fast, and everything came out fresh and ready to enjoy. If you plan to visit, I would recommend coming with a group of three or four people. That way, you get more variety and better value. Parking is limited though. They have room for only a few cars in front of the restaurant. Would I go again? Definitely. Sometimes, the places that don’t try too hard are the ones that get everything right. Enjoy your meal.
