Japanese restaurants in South Korea

    About Shabu

    This great new restaurant does everything right. There’s plenty of excellent fresh food at reasonable prices. Dunk your vege­tables into the boiling soup of your choice, and dip in the smoked duck or whatever meat you choose. Later mix in the chewy, gorgeous green noodles for your second course, then drink the soup for your third. Every mouthful tastes different.

  2. Sushi Mori

    The environs are not especially attractive but this restaurant in the Asiad Home Plus department store food court has sushi on a conveyor belt. If you'd prefer to eat on the run, go to the back of the store's grocery section and buy a box of sushi at unbelievably low prices. It's not outstanding quality but it is good.

    Myeongseong Chobap

    A popular Japanese-style restaurant serving saengseon chobap and saengseonhoe koseu (생선회 코스, Korean raw fish set menu). Located in Jungangdong, it's 100m north of the Tower Hotel with 'sushi' written on the signboard.

    Naniwa

    Japanese donkkaseu and udong (thick white noodle broth) sets are served up fast in this busy restaurant. The fish set with lightly grilled salmon (yeoneo-gui) is recommended.

    Kijoam

    Food fashions in Seoul come and go faster than the KTX train but the non-spicy Japanese noodles, cutlets and tempura sets at this chain restaurant never lose their appeal.

    Hoejeonchobap

    Squeeze yourself into this tiny conveyor-belt sushi joint to enjoy Japanese-style raw fish with wasabi. It’s on the expensive side – this is downtown, and not a student area.
