About 한식

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.

About Dongdaemun-Gu

Dongdaemun-gu is a 24-hour neighbourhood defined by its massive fashion markets, which draw wholesale buyers and night shoppers around the clock. The food scene is fast, cheap, and designed for people who eat at unconventional hours — naengmyeon restaurants that open at midnight, pojangmacha that come alive at 3am, and kalguksu shops that have served the same recipe for fifty years.

What Visitors Say

★★★★★adela legh9 months ago

The restaurant inside the market mentioned in the review is a different place. Gyeongdong Restaurant is an old, long-standing establishment located outside the market, serving traditional Korean set meals. The rice cooked in a pot and the delicious side dishes are all tasty. Spicy stir-fried pork and stir-fried squid are ordered in minimum portions for two people, while the rest can be ordered as single portions. The rice is delicious and the portions are generous, so I ended up eating a heaping bowl.

★★★★☆Kimmy Kao8 months ago

This restaurant offers excellent value for money and is a popular spot for Koreans to eat out regularly. Highly recommended! 👍 We ordered two dishes for only 16,000 won. We would definitely come back again.

★★★★★Seungyeon “꾸꾸” Lee5 months ago

The kimchi was delicious and the radish soup was hot and tasty.
