Known for Korean street food, this spot draws diners from across Seoul.

Bunsik — Korean street-food snacks — evolved as affordable, filling fare for students and workers after the Korean War. Tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), kimbap (seaweed rice rolls), sundae (blood sausage), and odeng (fish cake skewers in broth) are the staples. Most bunsik restaurants are fast, casual, and open late, making them a go-to for a quick hot meal at any hour.
Jongno-gu is the historic heart of Seoul, containing Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bukchon Hanok Village, and Insadong's antique street. The area balances ancient and modern — traditional Korean restaurants, teahouses, and street food vendors operate alongside contemporary galleries and specialty coffee shops. Eating here feels like a connection to centuries of Seoul food culture.

View all →The soojaebi is good (both the normal and the spicy). They use oyster, so avoid if you don’t like seafood. The kimchi was horrible and had a chemical smell, so try it before taking a lot out. The dongdongju (traditional rice wine) was just ok. The lines can get long though.
This restaurant is a bit hidden in an alley. It offers sujebi, a hand-pulled dough soup. The soup was delicious. We also tried their seafood pajeon. Unfortunately, that was not as tasty and a bit too oily.
Tucked away in the tight alleyways of Insadong is this super fab sujebi restaurant. Everything we tried was excellent. The sujebi comes in clay pots with three types of soups - clear, spicy and perilla seed. The perilla seed soup version is very surprising and we ended up loving this second after the spicy version. The sujebi (hand pulled dough) pieces were smooth and thin and had good bite. We loved the dong dong ju and the seafood pancake was also very good with just enough dough to hold the ingredients together.
