The 38 Best Restaurants in Seoul, South Korea | Eater
"Chef Kim Geon, who won a Michelin star for his restaurant Goryori Ken in 2022, also runs this casual Japanese izakaya where you’ll find a lengthy menu of traditional Japanese bar food in a relaxed atmosphere. Start with the bacon-spangled potato salad and a cold draft beer, soju, or sake while deciding the rest of your order. The signature sashimi moriawase collects the season’s best fish, including yellowtail, mackerel, and scallops, with each piece uniquely prepared and aged to ensure maximum flavor. While walk-ins are accepted, call ahead to check for availability. Must-try dish: Don’t miss the Fukuoka-style mackerel fried rice, satisfyingly salty and complex with shredded grilled mackerel, shiso, and umeboshi." - Matty Kim
