Anjumaeul

The 38 Best Restaurants in Seoul, South Korea

"Open for: Lunch through late night Price range: $$ When a restaurant advertises itself as a “landmark,” it’s almost always a letdown, but the claim is justified in the case of Anju Maeul. The cozy wooden space is always full of drinkers, and there used to be an eternal line of people waiting for their turn by the door; there’s now a kiosk that takes reservations and alerts you via text. The star on the handwritten menu is seasonal seafood. Be sure to try the seasonal sashimi, and the tofu topped with salted herring roe is a fan favorite. Know before you go: Don’t hold back when you order; some items sell out in minutes, so you may not have a second chance." - Matty Kim
