Author's Note Most Koreans love spicy food. Even if you are Korean, there are some people who can't eat spicy food well. Therefore, restaurants often offer different levels of spiciness. Nowadays, there are many more types of spicy food. One of the favorite foods of Koreans is Tteokbokki. Tteokbokki is rice cakes simmered in a spicy sauce. Tteok is made of rice and is chewy. It is flavored with spicy chili sauce, sugar, garlic, pepper, and various vegetables.  The flavor of the sauce determines the flavor of the tteokbokki. The flavor of the sauce varies from restaurant to restaurant. Today, we recommend the 'Namdo Bunsik' located at Yongsan I-Park. 'Namdo' means the southern part of Korea, and 'bunsik' means casual food. 'Namdo Bunsik' offers a collection of famous foods from the southern region of Korea, so you can taste local specialties.  The menu includes fried lettuce, bibim dangmyeon, flat dumplings, and kimbap ssam.

Take a stroll up Namsan and eat bibimbap in the center of Seoul

 Author's Note

Take a stroll up Namsan and eat bibimbap in the center of Seoul.

Namsan is a mountain in the center of Seoul. 

Namsan has a well-developed walking trail and Namsan Tower is located at the top of the mountain. There are a few restaurants in Namsan Tower, but they are not Korean.


There is a walking path in the middle of Namsan called Namsan Perimeter Road.

There is a Korean restaurant called 'Mokmoksanhorangi' on the Namsan Perimeter Road.

'Mokmoksan' is another name for Namsan Mountain, and 'horangi' means tiger.




Usually, hanok-style restaurants sell limited meals and are somewhat expensive, so they are usually reserved for reunions and birthdays of elderly people, but this is a place where you can eat bibimbap and ssambap comfortably.


Bibimbap is a large bowl of rice mixed with various vegetables, meat, and gochujang sauce. Bibim means to mix.

Ssambap is a style of food where rice and meat are wrapped in lettuce and other leafy vegetables. The word ssam means to wrap.




We recommend this restaurant as a place where you can take a short walk and enjoy food and tea without climbing to the top of Namsan Mountain.


Summary

- The atmosphere is quite atmospheric. It is located at the beginning of the Namsan circumference road.

- The prices are reasonable and the food is delicious.

- How to order at the kiosk

- Food: Bibimbap, pork ssambap, hand tofu ssambap, yukgaejang, acorn rice cake, etc.

Best Mid-Range Korean Food Restaurants in Gwanghwamun, Seoul South Korea

Mid-Priced Korean Restaurants Sanchaehyang Gwanghwamun Restaurants Author's Note Do you like Hanjeongsik? I sometimes think of Hanjeongsik when I want to eat a variety of dishes. I suddenly wondered if it's just a higher level than Baekban, or if it has to be a 9-course, 12-course meal with a variety of ingredients and recipes. So I looked it up. According to the Encyclopedia of Korean Folklore "Hanjeongsik is short for 'Korean set meal'. It refers to a set meal in which a restaurant sets a certain value and serves a variety of foods in a plated manner. It's usually served in high-end restaurants. In high-end restaurants in Europe and North America, salad salad, soup soup, main dish main dish, and dessert dessert are served one after another over time. In contrast, most Korean restaurants adopt a spatialized approach to serving food, where everything is served at once." It's still a bit ambiguous, isn't it? But we already have an image in our minds...
