One of the 25 districts in Seoul, South Korea, Dongdaemun District (Dongdaemun-gu, “Great Eastern Gate”), was named a “Special Tourism Zone” in 2002, and it serves both tourists and residents. There is no question as to why Dongdaemun has gained the title of Seoul’s center of retail shopping. Hundreds of tiny enterprises and dozens of wholesale malls can be found in Dongdaemun. This district is the home to the famous Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP). 

The Dongdaemun Design Plaza, often known as DDP, is a significant urban development landmark created by Zaha Hadid and Samoo in Seoul, South Korea. Its design is distinctly neo-futuristic and is distinguished by the “powerful, curving curves of elongated structures.” The landmark is the focal point of Dongdaemun, South Korea’s fashion district and well-known tourist destination. It has a pedestrian park on its roofs, sizable international exposition spaces, cutting-edge retail establishments, and elements of the Seoul citadel that have been reconstructed. 

As this Plaza is a famous landmark in the whole of South Korea, many tourists and locals from different places come to visit here. After a good tour of and around the DDP, anyone will want to grab a quick bite, so let’s go through some famous restaurants in the Dongdaemun near DDP.

Star Samarkand

Samarkand restaurant, which is situated in the center of Chinatown, offers delectable Uzbek (Halal) food. The restaurant is well-known among the ex-pat Arabic, Russian, and Uzbek communities living in Busan for providing its customers with hearty meals packed with meat and vegetables. Despite the menu’s unusual meals, Samarkand’s lamb skewers, Samsa (pastry packed with meat), noodle and beef soup, and lamb rice pilaf are highly recommended. Order some grilled meat, deep-fried beef dumplings, or chicken schnitzel if you want to add a little extra fat to your meal. The meals are hearty and include a serving of fries and salad. You won’t be let down if you finish your dinner by having a Russian-style cake for dessert. You will get a complete Uzbek dining experience and environment at Star Samarkand.

This is the closest and best Korean restaurant near DDP, and it’s just a 4-5min walk from the Plaza. The popular Korean dish of braised pig’s feet is expertly prepared at Manjok Oyhang Jokbal with the utmost devotion to cleanliness and quality.
