Read guide →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.
Gwanak-gu's university population (Seoul National University is the dominant anchor) drives a food scene of affordable restaurants, study cafés, and late-night delivery options. The local food culture is young, budget-conscious, and diverse — students from across Korea bring their regional food preferences and the restaurant scene reflects this variety.
The chicken galbi was very moist and soft, the skirt meat was chewy, and the pork neck meat was delicious. They taught me how to grill it and grilled the chicken galbi meat for me, so I enjoyed it ☺️ The chicken galbi was really, really delicious!
The chicken here is absolutely delicious, offered in two flavors: marinated and salted. Both styles have their own unique appeal, and each one is full of flavor. Cooking the chicken over charcoal can be a bit tricky, but the staff are very friendly and assist you with grilling, making the experience enjoyable. The noodles, while slightly on the salty side, pair well with the meat. The side dishes are varied and flavorful, adding to the overall meal. They also offer grilled chicken special cuts, which were all unique and just as tasty as the main dish. While the wait time can be quite long, it's definitely worth it for the quality of the food.
