Cafés, restaurants and places in Jung-gu, Seoul, written by bloggers who went there.
Hotel Kukdo Patio is a hotel restaurant near Euljiro 4-ga Station in Jung, Seoul. I visited with my husband for a ₩29,800 lunch of an Asian buffet and flat iron steak; the selection was not especially large, but we enjoyed sampling different dishes by the bright window.
Hey Jinny is a cooking pub on Eulji-ro 12-gil in Jung, Seoul, where I met a friend for an invitation gathering. From a window seat, we shared Osaka niboshi shrimp oil pasta and eohyang gaji; the comfortable lighting, table spacing, and attentive service made conversation easy.
Furato Shokudo is a Japanese restaurant on B1 of Seoul Square near Seoul Station in Jung, Seoul. I shared gyukatsu and a steki rice bowl, both ₩19,500; the grill-at-the-table gyukatsu was memorable, while the tender, mildly seasoned rice bowl was easier to eat.
Ibangin is an izakaya near Sindang Jungang Market in Jung, Seoul, where I tried kushikatsu, cumin stir-fried lamb, and two udon dishes. The crisp, lightly battered fried items and well-balanced dishes stood out, and the softly lit space felt suitable for a date or group gathering.
BAS Burger Euljiro Branch is a handmade burger restaurant in Jung, Seoul. I visited with a friend for a Wasabi Mayo Shrimp Burger and a Sriracha Cheese Burger, and the free-refill thin, crisp potato chips stood out; the dark stairs down to the basement need care.
Yuktongnyeong Myeongdong Main Branch is a Korean barbecue restaurant about 217 meters from Exit 5 of Myeongdong Station. I visited for a weekend date and tried omija-aged samgyeopsal and black pork neck, enjoying the juicy texture and staff grilling service.
Hey Jinny is a cooking bar on the second floor near Euljiro 3-ga Station Exit 10 in Jung, Seoul. I visited at 3 p.m. on a weekend for wine by the glass, a rum and Coke, oil pasta, and eohyang gaji; the cozy setting and nutty pasta stood out, and even the crispy eggplant worked for me.
Hotel Kukdo Patio is a lunch buffet in Jung, Seoul, where I paired the Asian buffet with tomato pasta and flat iron steak. The abalone-shrimp dish and crab udon broth stood out, while the grilled eel and steak textures were disappointing.
Furato Shokudo is a Japanese restaurant on B1 of Seoul Square, connected to Seoul Station in Jung, Seoul. I grilled gyukatsu over a personal brazier and tried soft-cooked omurice and summer cold soba; all three were satisfying, though ordering them together was not inexpensive.
Bass Burger Euljiro Branch is a burger restaurant in Jung, Seoul, between Exits 10 and 11 of Euljiro 3-ga Station. I ordered a Hawaiian Burger Combo and Double Crunch, with unlimited warm potato chips available with a menu order. The chewy beef patty and crisp, spicy chicken were satisfying.
Yuktongryeong Myeongdong Main Branch is a barbecue restaurant near the Chinese Embassy, between Myeongdong Station and Shinsegae Department Store. I ordered pork belly and pork neck, which staff grilled over charcoal. I liked the chewy skin on the pork belly, though ₩17,000 for 150 g felt somewhat expensive.
Hotel Kukdo Patio is a hotel restaurant in Jung, Seoul, about two minutes on foot from Euljiro 4-ga Station. My husband and I chose the ₩29,800 lunch buffet with flat iron steak; it was smaller than a large hotel buffet, but I enjoyed the separate main, Asian dishes, and sunlight through the large windows.
