1. SOIGNÉ

2025 Global 100 – Fine Dining

AU$370Reservation AvailableKoreanPrime location

空空CJThis was recommended by the concierge at my hotel in Seoul and it turned out to be one of my all time favorite dining experiences. I opted for the entire "tasting menu". Seated at a bar style table surrounding the kitchen. Every dish was delicious. Service was pleasant yet professional.

2. Keunkiwajip

No.4 of Must-Visit Restaurants in Seoul

AU$44KoreanPrime location

没有蜡ollingIf you dare to eat raw potatoes, you must try it Da Wafang Sauce Crab is certified with one Michelin star After the main meal was served, Korean side dishes were served one by one. A table full of dishes looks satisfying The method is to marinate raw crabs in soy sauce So it is also called sauce crab🦀 It tastes completely devoid of the unique fishy smell of crabs Crab paste is perfect when mixed with rice and stuffed into one bite The entrance is sweet and salty, and you will be able to drink it one bite after another. Koreans call them rice thieves Friends who like to eat crabs, if you have never tried it Remember to try it. It’s really delicious [Glutton][Glutton]

3. Myeongdong Kyoja Main Restaurant

2025 Asia 100 – Light Bites

AU$11KoreanTime-honored BrandPrime location

没有蜡ollingSeeing that many people recommended Korean dumplings, I went to Korea Street with my friends. The best thing was the pork wrapped in vegetables! The lean pork slices were crispy and fat but not greasy. The fragrant and soft pieces had chewy crispy bones, and were wrapped in lettuce with spicy shredded radish, garlic slices, and chili peppers. It was sweet, spicy, and fresh when you took a bite.

4. Hadongkwan

2025 Asia 100 – Light Bites

AU$21KoreanTime-honored BrandPrime location

没有蜡ollingIf you come to Myeongdong, you must eat at Hadongguan. It is recommended by Michelin Guide. There is only one dish, which is Korean beef soup rice. The price ranges from 9,000 to 30,000. The price varies depending on the amount of meat. I ordered the 20,000 one. If you don’t like offal, please let me know in advance. Remember to add more green onions [pig head]

justinwang1987The Wandering in the Clouds restaurant is located in the 63 Building in Gangnam District. The view from above is very good and it has a Michelin flavor. However, I also found a restaurant serving Spanish paella, so it actually tasted very good. Maybe Korean seafood is also very good.

6. Loco Quan 401 Restaurant

AU$23KoreanOpen LateCelebrity-OwnedCelebrity style

AmandaThere are three types of barbecue: Korean barbecue, Japanese barbecue, and Northeast barbecue. I prefer Japanese barbecue. It tastes good, and the garlic smell in the mouth is not strong. Korean barbecue and kimchi are delicious and one of the indispensable features, but just like Northeast barbecue, the smell is all over the body and head, and it can't be hidden.

7. Odarijip Myeongdong

2025 Global 100 – Local Restaurants

自由女神MinIf my bestie hadn't recommended it to me, I wouldn't have known that Seoul has a specialty of pickled crab. This is really good. You must go early, otherwise you may have to wait in line and wonder if you can eat. Order a set meal according to the number of people. There are crabs, various pickles and rice. We also ordered pickled shrimp and soybean paste soup. The crabs are of very good quality, comparable to Chaoshan, with tender and delicious meat and lots of yellow. The shrimps are really big and thick. We ordered draft beer and had a great time!

8. Kyochon Chicken Dongdaemun 1

No.7 of Light Bites in Seoul

AU$14KoreanOpen LatePrime location

没有蜡ollingThis is the one with the best atmosphere. The decoration is first-rate, and there is a big screen playing MVs of various idols. Eating fried chicken and chatting while watching my oppa is more enjoyable than going to the cinema. As for the taste of fried chicken, it goes without saying that Gyomura’s is the best. Friends, make an appointment when you have time! Exit 6 of Dongdaemun Station on Line 1 and turn back a little bit. It is on the second floor. It is open 24 hours.

9. Mingles

2025 Global 100 – Fine Dining

空空CJThe waiters were very friendly and helpful, special thanks to Sommelier who was very professional and enthusiastic. The food was also very good and a great value for money. They also prepared a very delicious birthday dessert for my sister. We will definitely come back to this restaurant when we are in Seoul again!!!
