Known for Japanese cuisine, this spot draws diners from across Seoul.
1 min walk from Myeongdong Station Station, making it easy to combine your meal with a visit to nearby attractions like Korean Convenience Store Food Guide: Best Snacks & Combo Hacks Near Myeongdong.
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.
Jung-gu sits at the geographic and commercial center of Seoul, encompassing Myeongdong (K-beauty and street food), Namdaemun Market, and the financial district. The food here spans the full range — from tourist-facing street stalls in Myeongdong to understated lunch joints serving office workers, and traditional Korean restaurants that have operated for decades without needing to advertise.

View all →Found this place from Google search for good food near Myeongdong. Although the staff don't really speak English, we were able to get a table and have our dinner without any issues. They were attentive and helpful. The prices for each plate is KRW2100 except for premium items priced at KRW4000. These are acceptable prices for conveyor belt sushi. Overall we enjoyed the dining experience and taste of food. Recommended 👍
The sushi is mediocre at best. Considering sushi is pretty accessible in this Asia region, it's hard to just say "the sushi here is not bad in Korean standard"..
Just perfect. Went for a lunch on a weekday and it wasn’t crowded. Service: 10 / 10 Taste: 10/10 Price: worth it I would come back again whenever I visit Seoul.
