Korean BBQ
Samgyeopsal (pork belly) and galbi grilled at your table, wrapped in lettuce with ssamjang and garlic. Staff often grill for you, and the meal usually ends with cold naengmyeon or a sizzling fried-rice finish.

Eat & make
All food & experiences →Food — taste it, then make it
Where to eat, and hands-on classes to cook it yourself. Prices vary — we don't invent them.
🍜 Where to eat
Tteokbokki & street food
Chewy rice cakes simmered in a sweet-spicy gochujang sauce, alongside hotteok, gimbap and fish-cake skewers from market stalls. Grab a paper cup and eat as you walk — it's the beating heart of Korean street food.
Bibimbap
A rice bowl topped with seasoned vegetables, egg and gochujang — mix it all together before the first bite. The stone-bowl version, dolsot bibimbap, toasts a crispy rice crust onto the bottom.
Korean fried chicken (chimaek)
Extra-crispy double-fried chicken paired with cold beer — 'chi-maek' (chicken plus maekju) is a national pastime. Order it plain, in sticky-sweet yangnyeom sauce, or half-and-half to try both.
