Hello — I am a Korean local sharing my favorite restaurants in Seoul.
Foodie Seoul is an English-language guide written from a Korean local perspective. I share restaurants I personally visit, with original photos, honest takes, and the practical context international readers actually need — things like whether the menu has English, whether foreign cards work, and how to find the place by subway.
This site is about what is worth eating, not what is trending. I write about smashed-patty burger joints in Mullae, hidden bunsik spots in Jongno, late-night Korean BBQ in Gangnam, and the kind of casual neighborhood places foreigners often miss.
What this site is
- Personal reviews of restaurants I have actually visited and paid for
- Original photos taken on my visits
- Honest takes — recommendations and concerns both
- Practical info specifically helpful for foreign visitors
What this site is not
- A comprehensive directory (I write about places I personally know)
- A professional food critic publication
- Sponsored content (any sponsored review will be clearly marked)
If you are planning a trip to Seoul or living here as a foreigner, I hope this saves you from at least one mediocre meal.
