Known for traditional Korean cuisine, this spot draws diners from across Seoul.
17 min walk from Hansung University Station Station, making it easy to combine your meal with a visit to nearby attractions like K-Drama Filming Locations Tour: Seoul's Best Spots in One Day.
Korean cuisine (hansik) is built around balance — fermented sides (banchan), a steaming bowl of rice, and a main dish that changes with the season. Meals are served all at once rather than in courses, and sharing dishes at the table is the norm. The depth of flavor comes from slow-fermented pastes like doenjang (soybean) and gochujang (chili), which form the backbone of soups, stews, and marinades across the country.
Seongbuk-gu is home to Bukchon's quieter neighbour and Seoul's most literary neighbourhood, with independent bookshops and traditional restaurants tucked between old residential alleys. Ssangmun-dong's street food markets and the traditional teahouses of Samcheong-dong are highlights of this culturally rich but less-touristed district.

(Old) Gyedan Bunsik has been my regular since I was a student at Sungshin Women's University in 1988! It's been nearly 30 years since I moved here, and it's still as delicious as ever, with incredibly reasonable prices!!! You absolutely must try it. I wasn't even hungry... Check out the before & after photos of the mul naengmyeon (cold noodles).
