Seongsu budae jjigae restaurant with kids' pork cutlet: Songtan

Songtan Jindaegwang Budae Jjigae Seongsu Branch is a budae jjigae (army stew) restaurant on the 2nd floor of a building on Achasan-ro, an easy walk from Seongsu Station in Seoul. The stew comes packed with ham and sausage, pairs well with the extra millet rice and side dishes, gets a round of ramen noodles added, and even has pork cutlet on the menu for kids who can't handle the spice. With its old-school interior and group seating, it's a solid pick for a Seongsu lunch or family meal.

Samseong Korean restaurant for a group: Obongjip's ₩62,000 combo

Obongjip Samseong Branch is a Korean restaurant near Samseong Station in Gangnam, Seoul, known for fire-grilled octopus stir-fry and bossam (boiled pork belly). The Obong Special (gabri) set costs ₩62,000 and pairs octopus stir-fry for two with bossam and an added order of jaengban makguksu (cold buckwheat noodles on a tray), plus self-serve banchan. A good pick when a group can't agree on one flavor — spicy, savory and tangy all show up on the table.
