Best Seoul Restaurants: Song Jook Heon Restaurant
Taste a bit of everything Korean with Hanjeongsik. This is a traditional style of Korean dining, that reminds us a little of an upscale Nasi Padang, but here the chef is in charge. You just sit pretty at your table and the wait staff will deliver dish after dish to your table, creating an amazing mini banquet for you. Hanjeongsik starts off with appetizers, and includes a main dish of meat, fish or hot pot.

Best to dine as a group. There can be as many as 10-30 dishes served, which everyone is meant to share. To be able to taste your way through the whole variety of food, gather a group and enjoy a long dinner tasting foods whose names you probably don’t know.
Reservations required.
Try: Steamed pork, bulgogi, salmon salad, hot duck patty
