Cafés, restaurants and places in Jung-gu, Seoul, written by bloggers who went there.
Hey Jinny is a cooking bar on the second floor, a one-minute walk from Euljiro 3-ga Station in Jung, Seoul. I ordered the Osaka Nibo Ebi oil pasta, eoyang gaji, and two highballs; the shrimp-forward pasta stood out. The space is not very large, but its wide table spacing and low lighting made it good for a calm conversation.
Furato Restaurant Seoul Square is a Japanese restaurant on B1 of Seoul Square near Seoul Station in Jung, Seoul. I shared steki-don, omurice, karaage, and fried shrimp with a friend; the generous beef bowl and soft egg stood out, though I wished the omurice sauce had been warm.
BAS Burger Euljiro Branch is a handmade burger restaurant in Jung, Seoul, about a two-minute walk from Euljiro 3-ga Station Exit 10. I tried the classic BAS Burger and the loaded Tam-yok Burger with BAS Lager and sides; the classic had better balance, while the Tam-yok Burger was more filling. There is no dedicated parking lot.
Yuk Tongryeong Myeongdong Main Branch is a pork barbecue restaurant within a 10-minute walk of Myeongdong Station. I tried omija-aged black pork and appreciated the staff grilling everything, though weekend evenings may involve a wait.
Hotel Kukdo Patio is a restaurant on the second floor of Hotel Kukdo in Jung, Seoul, where a buffet is served alongside a choice of steak or pasta. My friend and I ordered steak and seafood tomato pasta, and I enjoyed the buffet selection, though the limited parking made public transportation the easier choice.
BAS Burger Euljiro Branch is a basement burger restaurant two minutes from Euljiro 3-ga Station Exit 11 in Jung, Seoul. I ordered the Double BAS Burger set with sweet potato fries, onion rings, and mozzarella chicken bites; the juicy patties, soft bun, and crisp sides stood out, though the bites were very hot and a little rich.
Furato Shokudo Seoul Square Direct Store is a Japanese restaurant on the basement first floor of Seoul Square near Seoul Station. My husband and I reserved a table and had the ₩19,000 gyukatsu set; I liked the tender beef grilled over a small brazier and the salad, though a wait formed later in the evening.
Yuk Tongnyeong Myeongdong Main Branch is a pork barbecue restaurant less than five minutes from Myeongdong Station. I visited with my husband, had omija-aged black pork and tojangguk stew, and found the staff grilling convenient and the meat pleasantly chewy and savory.
Furato Shokudo Seoul Square Direct Store is a Japanese restaurant on the B1 level of Seoul Square in front of Seoul Station. I ate alone, ordering gyukatsu, Ramune soda, and extra steki. The gyukatsu was crisp outside and moist inside, but I personally preferred the softer steki.
Yuk Tongryeong Myeongdong Main Branch is a Korean BBQ restaurant about three minutes from Myeongdong Station Exit 5. I ordered two servings of omija-aged black pork ogyeopsal, or pork belly with skin, plus tojangguk, and found the staff grilling service convenient, though waits may form at dinner or on weekends.
Furato Shokudo Seoul Square Direct Store is a Japanese restaurant on B1 of Seoul Square near Seoul Station in Jung, Seoul. My husband and I cooked gyukatsu and steki set meals over a mini brazier; I preferred the beef-forward steki, while he preferred the crisp gyukatsu.
Yuk Tongryeong Myeongdong Main Branch is a Korean barbecue restaurant on Myeongdong 8na-gil in Jung-gu, Seoul. I ordered three servings of pork neck for lunch, and the staff grilled everything while we talked. The tender meat with wine salt and myeongi namul was memorable, though only the first floor was operating during my visit.
