Gwanghwamun sushi restaurant that takes Seoul Pay: Elephant Sushi
Elephant Sushi Gwanghwamun is a Japanese sushi restaurant on the first basement level of KT Gwanghwamun Building West, a 1-minute walk from Exit 2 of Gwanghwamun Station in Jongno, Seoul. After the Seoul Art Goods Festival and a hanbok festival nearby, this Saturday 5pm visit meant no wait for two Elephant B sets (12 pieces plus cold soba) and free potato croquettes from the review event, and the monkfish liver nigiri was a surprisingly nutty standout. Elephant Sushi accepts Seoul Pay and gives up to 2 hours of free parking, which makes it an easy stop on a Gwanghwamun day out.
