Seoul Recommendations for Tokyo/Seoul Trip [moved from Japan board]

[wagyulover]

Next year, I plan to go to both Tokyo & Seoul during the same trip.

I used this board's tips for previous Tokyo visits.

Does anyone have suggestions for Seoul restaurants?

Is there a Seoul Board on Chowhound?

Thanks!

Don't ask why/how, but Korea inexplicably falls under the China & Southeast Asia board (it would have been better grouped in Northeast Asia with Japan).

For Korean fine-dining, try Yongsusan:

For Korean-inspired molecular gastronomy, Elbon the Table:

I like Sancho for Buddhist-vegetarian cuisine, which included mountain ferns:

Yes, Korea should fall under Northeast Asia (Geography 101)!

Thanks so much for your tips.

wagyulover (I'm a wagyu lover too!), I'm pretty certain you would like Bong San Jib previously mentioned on this board - specifically, the chadolbaegi and the doejang jjigae. Two locations - one south of the river near COEX (tel: [phone]), one north of the river near Samgakji Station (tel: [phone]).

Thanks!

I enjoy beef brisket & soybean-paste stew.
