Food & Dining

Korean food is built around rice, banchan (the little side dishes) and bold fermented flavors like kimchi and gochujang. Meals are made to share, so a single order often lands with a whole table of plates around it.

This section covers what to order as a first-timer, how to eat like a local, and the regional specialties worth going out of your way for, whether you're in a Seoul market or a small countryside restaurant.
