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.
I've only ordered delivery, but it's so delicious 😭 Every time I recommend it to my family and friends, it's a success.
Friendly, no parking, no restrooms
Highly recommend this store for its gim mal e and squid deep fry. I've tasted many squid and gim mal e on my many trips to Korea but this is quite unique. These are handmade and huge in size. I generally don't like squid deep fry but these were tasty, I suggest for people who don't like squid much to eat these while hot, they taste best then. The gim mal e has a unique marinade and it is huge, as big as a fist. They are delicious hot or cooled down. The dokbokgi is great, on the spicy side. They sell out often in the afternoon, so suggest you get in early.
