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 is my go to place for Tonkatsu. This is a chain so there are other locations to choose from but this is my favorite. There's lots of types of Tonkatsu and sets to choose from and many side items you can add. This location is small and busy but a fun place to have a meal.
The food is really good but there's a wait time so going there a little early before your meal time would be good
I absolutely loved the ambience of this restaurant 😍! We had a fantastic dining experience and can't wait to come back when I'm in Korea again. Highly recommended!
