Mimiwon 　

Yukjeon is beef sliced thin, dipped in egg batter and pan-fried - simple, and hard to do well because the timing is unforgiving.

A Korean restaurant in a hanok built in 1935, with a plum garden that flowers in early spring. Hanu beef tartare bibimbap is the signature, with pufferfish soup and beef pancake alongside.

Kong Daebak 　

Everything on the table comes from soybeans: soybean pancake, soybean paste stew, boiled pork to wrap with it. Two set menus, no à la carte. Sejong is a new administrative city with little old food culture, which makes a place doing one traditional thing properly worth noting.

Jongno Bansanghoe 　

Home-style Korean set meals behind Bosingak Pavilion, hemmed in by Jongno's office towers.

A small seasonal Korean kitchen in the Yeonnam-dong alleys that presses its own sesame and perilla oil fresh each day - which is the whole flavour of the signature dish, buckwheat noodles dressed in perilla oil and nothing much else.

A Korean restaurant in an Insa-dong side alley, cooking bibimbap with foraged greens - bracken, radish greens, pimpinella - rather than the standard vegetable set.

A bakery cafe on the Ganghwa coastal road, near Dongmak Beach, built around an invented world of characters spun out of the tiger in the Dangun founding myth - the one that gave up and left the cave. Charcoal-grilled beef and pork stacks alongside the bakery counter. Odd, committed, and good with children.

Gamasot Sondubu 　

Tofu made each day from Korean soybeans and deep sea water drawn from the East Sea - the mineral content is what sets the curd and, they argue, what makes it taste different. The set menu builds around it; the aged-kimchi tofu hot pot is the winter order.
