In Korea, there are many universities and of course you can find good restaurants around campus. In this article, Iโd like to introduce some good places to eat near Korea University!
Have you heard about SKY universities in South Korea? What does the abbreviation SKY mean and why will every Korean shudder if you say three cherished letters? SKY is an acronym used to refer to the three most prestigious universities in South Korea: Seoul National University, Korea University, and Yonsei University. The term is widely used in South Korea, both in media broadcast and by the universities themselves. This is due to the high ranking of the universities and all the graduates from SKY universities get a high-paying job.
Korea University as one of the top 3 universities, located in the north of Seoul in Anam, towards the end of subway Line 6. Anam is not as hit as familiar student hangouts such as Hongdae and Sinchon but Anam definitely has its own charms that make it worth a visit. In this post, I would like to recommend to you some nice restaurants near Anam area. It will not get wrong with suggestions from a Korea University student. ๐
This restaurant serves Korean barbeque and it is only 5 minutes walking distance from Korea University Natural Science Campus. Seaweed soup and you can have a variety of side dishes and no need to feel shy in getting refills. Great food, great service! Besides, traditional lunchbox (์๋ ๋์๋ฝ) is a must-try menu. Long queue at dinner time.
Moilita is an Italian restaurant and it serves mainly pizza and pasta. Famous among female students and it is an excellent spot for a lunch date. Although it is a little pricy compared to other restaurants at Anam-dong, still great food and romantic atmosphere win.ย
This shop will definitely satisfy your tastebuds if you are craving for authentic Japanese Ramen. Free flow of side dishes, rice, and beverages.
Jjimdak is a popular Korean braised chicken, originated in the city of Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do Province. For those of you who do not like spicy food, many Korean Jjimdak would be a challenge. While in this restaurant, you could request a specific spiciness level when you order and eat with an abundance of cheese.
Makanai is a Japanese culinary term meaning โfamily meal,โ referring to the meal served to restaurant employees before or after service. However, this restaurant has nothing to do with the real meaning of Makanai. Makanai is well known for its Japanese style ramen which you can request to change the level of spiciness up to Level 15. Spicy lovers why donโt give it a try? I dare you.
A great place if you want some nice Mexican food at Anam-dong. I can really recommend the burrito bowl, bbq pork burrito, and quesadillas they have. The staff members are friendly and always ready to help even if you do not speak Korean. Meal sizes are large in my opinion.
One of the best tonkatsu at Anam-dong. The portion is really huge, so you really get value for the 9,000 KRW you pay. The restaurant only has one menu and the food serves on the tray, comes in a set.
Anam is interestingly one of the few places in Seoul that gets quieter during weekends as students do not go to school. Anam is not to be overlooked if you are looking for somewhere to spend a relaxing weekend. Take a little stroll at Korea University after dinner is strongly recommended as well. The campus has the best scenery at night and I can guarantee no matter which time you come, you will have a lovely time exploring.
