Known for Japanese cuisine, this spot draws diners from across Seoul.
37 min walk from Sinchon Station Station.
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.
Seodaemun-gu houses Sinchon and Ewha — university neighborhoods known for affordable food, vibrant nightlife, and a youthful dining culture. The area is dense with budget-friendly Korean restaurants, late-night delivery options, and cafés that stay open until the early hours. It's a neighbourhood where eating well on a student budget is entirely achievable.

This restaurant is located in Naengcheon-dong, Seodaemun. It's become more popular after being featured on the TV show "Baekban Travel." It's famous for its grilled fish and gondre baekban (rice with rice topped with seaweed). For dinner, they grill meat and serve chicken stew, which is absolutely delicious. The deulmi-sal (pork neck meat) is a delicacy, but you should call ahead to confirm if it's available. I wanted to keep it to myself, but it seems like it's already a popular spot.
