Best Food in Seoul, Korea<\/span><\/h2>\n

Si mi tai kimchi?<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Top Restaurant: Song Jook Heon Restaurant<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Taste a bit of everything Korean with\u00a0Hanjeongsik<\/em>. This is a traditional style of Korean dining, that reminds us a little of an upscale Nasi Padang, but here the chef is in charge. You just sit pretty at your table and the wait staff will deliver dish after dish to your table, creating an amazing mini banquet for you.\u00a0Hanjeongsik<\/em>\u00a0starts off with appetizers, and includes a main dish of meat, fish or hot pot.<\/p>\n

\"Hanjeongsik<\/a><\/p>\n

(Photo\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0CC2.0<\/em>:\u00a0Hong Yun Seon<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Best to dine as a group.\u00a0 There can be as many as 10-30 dishes served, which everyone is meant to share. To be able to taste your way through the whole variety of food, gather a group and enjoy a long dinner tasting foods whose names you probably don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

Reservations required.<\/p>\n

Try: Steamed pork, bulgogi, salmon salad, hot duck patty<\/p>\n

Song Juk Heon<\/em><\/strong>
\n37-2, Unni-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul South Korea<\/em>
\nOpen Monday-Friday, noon-2 p.m., 6:30 p.m.-10:30 p.m<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Top Restaurant:\u00a0<\/strong>Yong Su San<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Traditional Korean fine dining, closely adapted from the cuisine typically served to Korean royalty during the Koryo Dynasty. The restaurant is a member of the Chaine des Rotisseurs and listed in the Miele Guide to Asia\u2019s Finest Restaurants. You can expect beautiful flavours served with style, quite literally fit for the king.<\/p>\n

\"Pork<\/a><\/p>\n

The restaurant itself is decorated with historically-inspired details, creating an ambience that transports diners to a grand time in Korean history in order to experience the feel of a traditional Korean royal feast. Yong Su San is located within the Financial District and a great way to savour Korean fine dining.<\/p>\n
