Cheap and generous

2 spots · picked by our Korean team

For that stretch of the month when the card bill already did its damage but you still want to eat properly. Two ways to do it: wok-fried Chinese near Ewha where most mains run 6,000 to 9,000 KRW, and a 9,900 KRW weekday hansang set from a kitchen that has spent 15 years in Noryangjin. Neither is a splurge and neither sends you home hungry. Pick the slot your day is missing and go from there.

Naver booking15 years in Noryangjin

The 9,900 KRW weekday hansang set is the play: a kitchen that has spent 15 years in Noryangjin, a calm second floor near the station, and value called out in its own review tags. Book on Naver, and mention the homepage in-store for a free soda.
