Great Places to Eat in Sinchon: 낭풍


If your looking to try one of the most famous dishes in Korea 'Kimchi jigae' (Kimchi Stew), I can think of no better place to go then 'Nam Poom'.  This restaurant is located close to the Yonsei main gate thus the pricing is low because its frequented by university students.  For you and two friends it costs around 13.000W for a full meal of Kimchi stew with rice.  Although the dinning room offers little in astetic beauty, it does little to take away from the amazing spicy taste of the food.  For those who are a fan of Kimchi or those who have never tried this dish before I recommend this restaurant because it offers a very authentic and original Korea taste.

Great Places to Eat in Sinchon: 아침나무


Located close to the yonsei university main gate the restaurant 'Morning Tree' offers a very delicious and affordable meal.  The restaurant features a variety of Korean rice dishes but its specialty is hot stone bowl rice dishes usually accompanied with some sort of meat, veggie or fish topping. I would personally recommend the 낚지밥 but have tried most of the menu and everything is simply delicious leaving you satisfied and full after eating.  The restaurant also offers several side dishes with a self bar for you to refill at you own leisure. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very cozy and a great place to go on a cold or wet and rainy day.  The best part however is that along with your meal they will also provide a chose of drinks (cider, cola, green tea, etc.) for you upon finishing your meal. Its a all around enjoyable eating experience and the flavors to the food are both spicy and delicious.

Great Places to Eat in Sinchon: 셀빠 (고기 뷔페)


For only 9000won for lunch and 10900won for dinner this restuarant offers a wide variety of different meats ranging from different cuts of pork to beef and chicken. Compared to other korean style meat bbq buffets that I have been to in korea, I have to say that the quality of the meat here is high.  If eating alot of meat doesn't get you filled up, the place also provides some fried veggies as well as the tradition korean spicy rice cake call ddbokii which I must say is extremely delicious here.  Although one could come alone to eat here, I would recommend this place for bringing a group of friends because the food is unlimited, the price is cheap and is fun and light.  But don't take my word for it, come try for yourself!
