"Modeled after the many banchan vendors in South Korea, Woorijip is a shop dedicated to selling - you guessed it - banchan. Everything is packaged to be easily transported back to your apartment, which is helpful whether you’re due back in 20 minutes for another afternoon meeting or you have a friend coming over soon for dinner and Hospital Playlist. Should you have more free time, there’s a small cafeteria area to sit at, where you can scarf down your food and scroll through emails. For about $4 each, you can fill up on substantial tubs of rolled eggs, simmered lotus root, and spicy smashed cucumber. And make sure to pick up some white fish jeon and spicy pan-fried anchovies too - the seafood banchan here are excellent." - justine lee 6
