Korean
Japanese cuisine has deep roots in Seoul, shaped by geographic proximity and a long shared history. Seoul-style Japanese restaurants range from affordable sushi conveyor belts and ramen shops to high-end omakase counters. Quality fish is flown in daily, and Korean chefs often put their own spin on Japanese classics — thicker broths, spicier condiments, and seasonal Korean ingredients woven into traditional recipes.
Mapo-gu — home to Hongdae, Sinchon, and Hapjeong — is Seoul's youth and arts district, defined by its university population, live music venues, and creative energy. The food scene is diverse, affordable, and experimental: trendy cafés, late-night pojangmacha, global street food, and boundary-pushing restaurants all compete for attention in this perpetually buzzing neighbourhood.
Fine dining with a great view. The food is average or above average. The interior has an overall old-fashioned feel. The view is great.
The view of the Han River is truly stunning. The food is French, with dishes like scallops, soup, duck breast, and beef steak. Except for the duck, everything was delicious. The desserts were varied and delicious, making them memorable. It's a bit pricey (165,000 won), but I figured it was worth it for the view.
