COEX Hall A Korean restaurant, ₩45,000 octopus meal for two: Obongjip
Obongjip Samseong Branch is a Korean restaurant serving spicy octopus stir-fry near Samseong Station in Gangnam, Seoul, a five-minute walk from COEX Hall A. Walking out of the COEX baby fair, a couple ordered fire-grilled octopus stir-fry for two (₩14,000 per person, mild spice level) and buchujeon (Korean chive pancake, ₩15,000), paying ₩45,000 with a zero-sugar cola, and refilled sausage stir-fry banchan and seaweed soup at the self-serve bar. The smoky flavor, big octopus chunks and filling portions stood out at Obongjip Samseong Branch, though parking is difficult.
