Yeouido has something for any eater, from old-school Korean food to modern fusion. Here’re some of the best restaurants in Yeouido, Seoul.

Yeouido is an up-and-coming district in Seoul that is quickly gaining popularity among foodies and tourists alike. Yeouido, which gets its name from the word “useless,” was once just a grassy area where sheep and goats were kept. Nonetheless, in 1924 it housed Korea’s first-ever airport! Under redevelopment efforts by Park Jung-hee in the 1970s, transportation connections to and from this island were significantly improved—nowadays, and you can reach Sinchon within 10 minutes via cab with no traffic disruptions.

Yeouido has something for any eater, from old-school Korean food to modern fusion cuisine. Here are some of the best restaurants to check out when visiting this vibrant district:

63 Buffet Pavilion

Ascend to the 59th floor of Seoul’s iconic 63 Building and discover an unparalleled culinary experience – a bountiful “premium buffet” with over 200 dishes from both Western and Eastern cuisines. This colossal dining hall has seating for up to 500 people, making it Korea’s largest buffet! For the best experience, book a seat by the window, where you’ll have a view that can’t be beaten. The dishes are made with care by several chefs who have won awards, and even some famous guests who know their noodles have praised them. Here, you can rest assured knowing that every bite will be nothing short of exceptional.

Jung-in Myeonok

Embark on a delectable journey and try some North Korean cuisine at the iconic Jung-in Myeonok (정인면옥)! If you are intrigued by all things related to North Korea, then Pyeongang naengmyeong must be on your radar. This delicious dish of cold noodles comes from Pyongyang and has become one of the most popular foods in the country. The moolnaengmyeon from this establishment differs deliciously from the traditional noodles found in Seoul—each bite varies pleasantly with a thicker texture. To finish, each bowl is artfully garnished with slices of beef, cucumber, radish and half an egg. In addition to this savory dish, clients can enjoy bibimnaengmyeon (chilled noodles served with a spicy sauce), dumpling soup or the popular nokdu-jeon (a deep-fried Korean-style pancake).

Ilho Myeonok

Make sure to discover Ilho Myeonok (일호면옥) during your next visit to the Yeouido area. This less well-known place serves Hamhung naengmyeon, which are iced noodles from the Hamhung region of North Korea. Raw fish naengmyeon, in particular, is very popular because the spicy sauce and thin, chewy noodles make a flavor that is hard to resist.

Hadongkwan

Visit Hadongkwan (하동관) in the Yeouido district, an extension of its highly-revered branch in Myeongdong. The specialty dish here is gomtang: a beef broth with rice and slices of beef. This location stands out from others because it filters its soup for optimum clarity and freshness – something you won’t find at other gomtangrestaurants! At Hadonghwan, the hanu meat slices are much larger than in other restaurants, making it a favorite amongst office workers during cold winter days. They also have two types of gomtang on their menu–regular size and special! For those craving more deliciousness, another Hadongkwan is located in Myeongdong.

Hyangto

Hyangto in Yeouido is one of the best restaurants and is a great example of country food. Its name comes from the Korean word for “rural area.” The maesaengi soup, one of their popular dishes, is comprised of a delightful blend of seaweed, salt, and water that varies slightly with each serving. Customers love it because the simple but flavorful ingredients give it a fresh taste.

Jinju-jip

Jinju-jip (진주집) may not be glamorous, but it is certainly popular! Foodies flock there for one thing – the delectable dakkalguksu (knife-cut noodles with chicken). Paired with their renowned kimchi, this savory soup has even caught the attention of KBS broadcasters in the neighborhood. Be prepared to wait, though – Jinju-jip’s popularity means tables fill up quickly!

Pahnaks

If the lines of visitors at Tosokchon are shorter, remember that there is another alternative for samgyetang (herbal Korean chicken soup) in Seoul. Pahnaks, open since 1990, offers two upgraded versions of this dish: chalheukmi-samgyetang (stuffed with black rice) and ddeulggae (wild sesame)-samgyetang. Both will offer you a more healthful version of your favorite classic Korean meal – so why not join the locals and indulge?

Whether you are craving soul food, North Korean cuisine, or a classic dish like samgyetang – Seoul has something for everyone. The quality of each establishment is guaranteed by the long-standing tradition and numerous repeat customers who dine there. So next time you are in Seoul, remember to check out one of these best classic restaurants in Yeouido and experience the true taste of traditional Korean cuisine!
