“Google Maps is truly useless here. A local map said it was an 8 minute walk; Google said over an hour.”

You're not doing anything wrong. Google can't route walking directions in Korea. It's a map-data law, not your phone. Local map apps work better for walking routes, and the walk times are real.

That gap is why every pick on this guide links to a full store page: menu, hours, and directions. No account, nothing to install beyond the map.

Before you head out, pin where you're eating in your preferred map app. An eight-minute walk stays an eight-minute walk.
