Read guide →Gwangjin-gu's Konkuk University area has a dense concentration of restaurants catering to students — affordable, diverse, and open late. The area is a reliable destination for budget Korean dining: tteokbokki, kimbap, and pork cutlet restaurants line the streets near the university gates.
Visiting from USA. Got takeout: jjajangmyeong (for 2), jjambbong, tangsuyuk, fried rice, fried mandu. All of it had good flavor. Well-packaged. Woman owner was very nice. Basement location, and it doesn’t look nice, but it’s good.
