As Seoul has become a more popular destination for tourists, the real Seoulites have had to move to adjust to rising rents and food prices. In the hip district of Mullae-dong, artists and machinists have taken residence to transform the area to a cool art village with urban art pieces, art studios, restaurants and cafes right next to machinists transforming steel into industrial works. It will show you the cool, undiscovered area of Seoul as we dine at famous restaurants and eateries. This is a 3 hour tour. Food and drinks are included.

My First Trip To South Korea, Seoul
KOREAN STREET FOOD IN SEOUL, KOREA - 포장마차
When it comes to street food in Asia, Korea reigns supreme as the true heavyweight offering up a diverse spread of delectable street snacks that range from sweet to salty and from savory to spicy. Whether you're in the mood for a small bite - or a huge feast - you'll certainly find what you're looking for at an affordable price as most Korean street food items are priced between 1000 to 4000 Korean Won.

When many foreigners think of Korean cuisine the first thought that may come to mind is having Korean barbecue at a Korean restaurant; however, Korean food is so much more than that and I truly believe it is showcased in its finest form on the streets of Seoul - or any Korean city/town for that matter.
Where can you get the best street food in Korea? In my opinion, the street food in Seoul is as good as it gets; however, the truth is that Korean street food can be found all over Korea - from sprawling urban center to tiny little rural village.
Whether your outing is for breakfast, lunch, dinner, a snack or even a hangover cure, eating on the street is as real and authentic as it gets in South Korea.
Please be sure to let me know how your experience eating Korean street food compares to other types of Asian street food and/or street food from around the world.
The following is a guide to some of our favorite Korean street food bites that you'll want to try when you visit Korea for the first time:
I've now traveled to over forty countries and I've yet to experience street food that can compete with Korea. Known locally as Pojangmacha, you can tantalize your taste buds with spicy, savory, salty and sweet street snacks. Two of my personal favorites include Tteokbokki (떡볶이) and Hotteok (호떡).
The following is a guide to some of our favorite Korean street -- warning -- I hope you're not hunrgy while watching this.
And we are going to show you the different kinds of food you can buy in this alley.
So that looks pretty appetizing. What do you have there? It sure does. Well we found some food on a stick here. Different kind of battered food objects. So if you want to take a look. We've got what appears to be a rice cake, kind of a lobster roll and as we go down a bit lower sort of like a hotdog/sausage thingamajig. And this is our first little snack food of the day. It looks tasty. Let's try it. Okay, I'm going to have the rice one. Very classy! Mmmmmm. Nice.
Alright, now you are up. What are you going to have? I'm going to take a bite of the hotdog. Scarf it. Mmmmm. It's nice and spicy. Is it? This is really good. Yeah. You'll have to try this one.
호떡? 얼마 죠? 1000 원입니다.
Okay, so we have got a delicious treat here called Hotteok. And it's a fried kind of sweet treat. Inside it's filled with cinnamon, honey and sugary kind of goodness. You bit into it and it's really warm. Perfect for the fall or winter. So I will take the first bite here.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah. That's good. Mmmmmmm....haha
So we've found ourselves a nice little back-alley to enjoy it. We're going to feast on the hotteok. It's delicious. Show us how it is done. It's hot. It's hot! Oh nice! The gooey-ness.
It's made of honey. Malt. M A L T. Actually honey is liquid right? We boil this for one week. We make it solid because I have to show you a performance.
I have a clump of candy in my cheek. Nice. We just bought some sticky rice taffy and it is all natural. It is very sweet. It is kind of like a chewy candy.
This would appear to be ice cream in some kind of cane.
Is that the biggest ice cream you've ever had? Yeah, that is really good.
If you're looking to try Korean street food Insadong (인사동) is one of your best bets in the entire country let alone Seoul.
Speaking Korean.
When traveling to Korea don't be afraid to sample as many Korean street food snacks as you possibly can -- your taste buds will surely be rewarded:

All You Can Eat KOREAN BUFFET + Gamcheon Culture Village | Busan, South Korea
On the morning of my third day in South Korea, my group and I took the KTX bullet train 325 kilometers, or a little over 200 miles, from Seoul in the northwestern part of the country to Busan in the far southeast! Come along with us as we make the cross-country journey!
FEATURED TRAVELERS:
Sam:
Mira:
Chris:
It takes 2.5 hours to get to Busan, and I was so excited to get there. We started at Seoul Station, the main station in the capital. The KTX bullet train that leaves from there is the fastest route between the two cities and is the most-traveled bullet train route.
The station is huge with lots of platforms, retail spots, and restaurants. You can get lost there! I stopped at the Dunkin Donuts in the station and got a rice cake stick and a green tea latte. Sam and I had six minutes to get to the train. You want to get there!
Our seats were in first class, which was pretty nice and had lots of leg space. The seats were in a 2-1 configuration. There were huge windows and a spot to charge your batteries.
As we rode to Busan, I tried my rice cake stick. It was a yummy, compact donut that was full of sugar! It had a glaze on top. Then I went with the green tea latte, which was basically a matcha. In first class, you get a welcome kit that contains a cookie, some nuts, and a hand wipe.
The ride to Busan was super smooth. You’re just gliding through the country, past mountains and through tunnels. It was a lot like Japan’s bullet trains, as you’re supposed to be very quiet while you’re riding them.
I learned from my friend and fellow traveler Chris that there are free water vending machines in first class. And just like that, we were in Busan after 2.5 hours!
Busan Station was very clean and open, and much smaller than Seoul Station. It looked really chill and spotless! Then we boarded the bus and headed to the restaurant, Vips.
Vips is a buffet, so there were tons of options. I loaded up my plate with tons of Korean dishes!
They give you wet wipes at the restaurant, which I love. I love how sanitary South Korea is. After cleaning my hands, I dug in!
I started with the noodles, which were cold and spicy! The spice wasn’t super intense, but the heat hit me right away! They were almost like glass noodles from Thailand.
Then I moved on to the tteok-bokki, the sticky rice cakes in spicy sauce. They were super dense but weren’t so spicy. Next was the spicy salad with cabbage and spring onions, which was crunchy and super fresh! The pork barbecue was almost like juicy and tender brisket! Then I took the shell and legs off the shrimp. It wasn’t really spicy and had a nice, sweet glaze on it.
Then I tried the fried chicken, which had a sweet and sour honey glaze on it. It was so amazing! The winner for me were the noodles and the pork! Then I had some craft beer from Jeju Island, which was a little light and hoppy, with a crafty taste.
After lunch, we headed to Gamcheon Culture Village, a colorful area that’s very touristy. There’s lots of street food. I saw lots of cute, cotton candy designs and even a Fat Thor and Fat Iron Man!
We got an amazing view of the colorful village and nearby green mountains. It’s so vibrant and so cool! From another viewpoint, I could also see the ocean. This was my favorite spot in South Korea so far! Then we climbed to the top of a café to see the amazing view! We had a coffee green tea latte and enjoyed the incredible vista around us!
I hope you enjoyed coming with me on my KTX bullet train ride to Busan, my Korean buffet lunch, and to Gamcheon Culture Village! If you did, please give this video a thumbs up and leave me a comment. Also, please subscribe so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel/food videos!

Authentic KOREAN BBQ in Seoul - Samgyeopsal & Banchans + Korean Craft Beer | Seoul, South Korea
After arriving in Seoul, South Korea, I met up with my boy Sam from Samuel & Audrey. I was so happy to travel with him again after our epic trip through India in November of 2018.
We headed over to get some authentic Korean barbecue including Samgyeopsal and Banchans. I couldn’t wait to try them!
The restaurant was in an area that’s very popular for nightlife and eateries. The restaurant had a big, inflatable pig outside, so I was expecting some amazing pork!
The tables in the restaurant have a grill set into them where your food is cooked. You have to order two of everything. While everything cooks, you can enjoy some sides, including a vegetable salad with red pepper paste.
Our cook browned the pork belly on both sides before cutting it into smaller strips and letting them finish cooking. It cost $12 per slab of pork belly, so only $24 total for us.
Sam showed me how to eat the Samgyeopsal. You take the pork belly strip, dip it into the red pepper paste and soybean sauce, and put it in a piece of lettuce with garlic. Roll it up and shove it into your mouth. It’s a one-biter!
We enjoyed some Korean beer as we ate. I grabbed a leaf, added pork belly, sauce, and garlic, and rolled it up. It was so fresh and juicy with just the right amount of spice! Then I tried a pickled vegetable, which was great! I couldn’t get enough of the Samgyeopsal, though. It was so pungent!
Next up was the Korean salad, which contains seaweed, cabbage, long pieces of bean sprouts, and red pepper paste. It was the best salad ever! The portion size was amazing! I could eat that salad all day!
The great thing about South Korea is that when you eat and run out of something, they give you free refills! You also don’t tip in Korean culture, so the listed price is exactly what you pay.
Next, I tried some seaweed, which was very tasty and kind of spicy! There were also some nice pickles. We added some cabbage and garlic on the grill. I wrapped some pork belly, cabbage, sauce, and garlic paste in lettuce and ate it all together. It was so incredible! The garlic almost reminded me of wasabi!
I had to rank Korean food up there with Indian and Japanese food. It was that phenomenal! I loved all of the spices and flavors. It was one of my favorite meals of all-time! The experience was unbeatable!
After our meal, it was about 10 p.m. on a Sunday night. The area we were in was dying down, but Sam and I headed out to explore a bit. The area felt like Tokyo, with all of the flashing neon lights.
We found a craft beer spot called Michin Dak, or Crazy Chicken! Sam ordered for us in Korean. I ordered a pale ale and Sam went with a German beer. This place specializes in chicken and beer, which is a popular combination in Korea.
The beers were great! Sam’s was sweet, while mine was very light and hoppy, with a fruity and slightly bitter flavor. It was a damn good beer! Then I went with a South Korean hefeweizen, which was fruity and contained either passionfruit or dragonfruit!
What a night of amazing food and great drinks!

South Korea 2017
“Life’s true gift lies in your freedom to design it beautifully. With each rise of the sun, you get to chase the opportunity to fill your days with meaning - to live your life the way you choose.” – unknown
I remember a quote that says “Nothing worth having comes easy”, and this South Korean trip really takes us to believe in that quote. We have had encountered a lot challenges prior to this trip (visa, flight booking, etc), but this trip also reminds us to stay calm/diplomatic, focus on the solutions rather than the problem, and to trust that God will take everything in control/order. Before going to Korea, I have to admit that I did not expect that much based on the reviews of my friends, but contrary to that I was really surprised to see how beautiful, magnificent, and colourful Korea was especially in autumn, it’s like watching Kdrama in your own eyes. It’s really worth visiting. Having said that, I would like to thank one of our supposedly original travel buddy for this trip Ghianina Mendoza for pushing us to continue on this trip, in the future we hope that we’ll be able to travel with you, and we’re looking forward to that. To my gorgeous sister Mabeth Bacsal, whom I got to spend the whole seven days..we might have had that dog-cat relationship in this travel, but I have to admit, that I enjoyed this travel with you so much..(so cheesy..hahaha)..im glad that you agree to be my main subject (well you don’t have any choice) in this short clip. And congrats, you did very well based on the videos (clap), to Nhitzoney Tango whom others thought as our Korean Tour guide because of her Korean look (lol), we’re extremely happy that you’re work coincided in our travel dates in Korea. I really enjoyed editing the clips because of your contagious smile and energy..keep it up. Also to friends who shared their tips and itinerary Richard Gil Mahinay Plana Angelyn Gregorio-Salvador Jerry Salvador Ruth Ann Quiñones Cip Baylon. To sum it up, I can say that Korea is really a must visit country for tourist/travellers, its rich in culture, the places were really nice and clean, the foods was superbly delectable, and the people there waaahh..everyone's really good looking...and they don’t have “PORES”..hahaha #Damisinabi

FULL COURSE Korean Hangjeongsik Meal for a KING - 15 Items! | Busan, South Korea
My fourth day in South Korea continued after my overnight stay at Beomeosa Temple. Come along with me as my group and I explore the beautiful Haeundae Beach and then head to a local restaurant for an unbelievable royal Korean feast!
Sam:
As soon as we arrived at Haeundae Beach (the longest beach in Busan), we spotted some huge, incredibly detailed sandcastles. They were beautiful and it was like a big exhibit of sand art. There was even one that looked like King’s Landing from Game of Thrones!
There was a humongous boardwalk that was lined with lots of skyscrapers. The wide beach reminded me of Miami Beach because it was at least 150 feet from the boardwalk to the water. It was a hot day but a little breezy as well. Across the water is Japan!
I loved the skyline. It was very modern, as this is the newer part of the city. The older part of the city is the center, but this area was where the office buildings and helipads were.
Next, it was time for lunch. Sam had been telling me about how amazing this royal feast is for a while, so I couldn’t wait to try it! The restaurant was on the seventh level of a building on a beach that’s more popular with locals. The view was insane!
Our feast began with a mixed plate with duck, salad, bean curd, and more. The bean curd was like a bland, thick, rice-y oatmeal. Then I tried the duck, which was fatty and gamy. The sauce was similar to teriyaki sauce. Next was a sweet potato that was very soft in the middle and hard on the outside.
Next was fatty pork and onion with a spicy sauce. There were peppers that looked like a jalapeno but were way hotter. There was also pork with sesame seeds, which was fatty and gelatinous. There was a lot of spice in it! I was really loving the pork in Korea.
I followed that with shrimp with veggies, teriyaki pumpkin, and a sweet potato glass noodle dish with eggs. The noodles were unreal! They had an almost spongy texture. The teriyaki pumpkin was crunchy, and the shrimp with carrots and egg had lots of different flavors.
Then I tried the sweet, marinated beef, which reminded me of the hot pot beef I’d had in China. It contained mushrooms and sprouts and was super tender and flavorful! It’s the number one dish in Korea with foreigners.
We cleansed out palates next with a black raspberry wine called Bokbunjajoo, which was like a less-strong raspberry rakia. Then I went with the fried eel, which had a nice glaze on it. It was very crunchy, like eel tempura. Then I moved on to shrimp tempura. It had a light tempura batter with a vegetable underneath it!
After some sweet plum wine, I had some fermented soybean soup, five herbs with peanuts and mushrooms, some special kimchi, and more! The soup also contained crab. I added some of the mushrooms, which added a wild freshness.
The kimchi was really fresh and was covered in a spicy, red sauce. The tofu from the soup was really soft and flavorful. I loved the big chunks of crab and herbs. We finished with a syrupy and milky rice drink and fresh pineapple!
What an epic meal! Then we headed to an outdoor fish market. There was lots of fish, clams, crab, snails, and more. The market was huge! The port area was breathtaking with the water, bridges, buildings, and mountains in the background.
Inside the main building was endless seafood at hundreds of stalls, including fish I’d never seen! There were snakefish, octopus, sea urchin, and more. It was so diverse in terms of seafood!
Outside is the Busan International Film Festival grounds, where there’s lots of street food! I couldn’t wait to come back and explore more!
I hope you enjoyed exploring more of Busan with me! If you did, please give me a thumbs up, leave a comment, and subscribe so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel/food videos!

Sokcho City(속초), South Korea: Popular tourist destinations in Gangwon Province
Welcome to KoreaRoadTour channel on YouTube!
???? Location -
???? About Sokcho-si (속초시)
Sokcho(Korean pronunciation: [sok̚.tɕʰo]) is an ideal location for vacationing, where Koreans flock to immediately as summer approaches. The destination is located on the east coast of the Korean Peninsula and occupies a large portion of Gangwon-do, where people come to enjoy sunbathing on long golden beaches as they gaze over the East Sea’s horizon.
Besides relaxing in the shade of the many pine trees, Sokcho is also famous for its food. Before heading out for water sports, make sure to fill yourself up with some various delectable seafood morsels you can only find at Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market. Various delights found at dozens of food stalls, carts, and street vendors are addictively delicious and will cause you to come back for more.
° Places to visit in Sokcho-si (속초 가볼만한 곳)
╰ Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market (속초 관광 수산시장)
Sockho’s traditional market is full of things to see, buy, and eat. Formed in 1953 as the Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market, it was included on the Korea Tourism Organization’s list of “Best Traditional Markets for Foreign Tourists” last year. From fresh fishes caught off the coast in the Donghae Sea (East Sea) to dried fish and various vegetables, you can find fun in just looking around and watching the fishmongers bargaining with local market-goers. The best part is that it allows you to really taste and experience the true folk atmosphere of Korea.
╰ Seoraksan National Park (설악산 국립공원)
The area of Sokcho includes what is considered to be the most beautiful mountain in Korea, Seoraksan Mountain. Its natural sights are so beautiful that the mountain was designated a natural monument preservation area in 1965. Although the slopes are very steep, many professional and amateur climbers come to test their ability throughout all the seasons.
╰ Seorak Waterpia (설악 워터피아)
Seorak Waterpia is one of Korea's largest theme parks, offering a wide variety of outdoor leisure activities and hot spring facilities. Facilities at this waterpark include a spa, a wave pool, a stream pool where you can follow the current of the water, as well as exciting waterslides.
But what makes Seorak Waterpia special is the fact that they only use pure mineral water originating from Cheoksan Mountain, and is maintained at a temperature of 49℃.
