If you are living in Seoul and love eating, there must be at least one Asian, non-Korean, restaurant you are in love with. Not a surprise, as the many cultures in Asia have their own wonderful cuisine and flavors. Many of these have found their way to Seoul, and made the restaurant scene even more elaborate.
Apart from the many Korean restaurants spread around the city now you can find everything from traditional dim sum to yummy Japanese sushi, spicy Indian curries or even home cooked Vietnamese dishes. There is almost no Asian cuisine you can’t find in the Korean capital, Seoul. With a lot to live up to, restaurants keep trying to bring new exciting flavours, use authentic cooking skills and add the freshest ingredients. So what is there not to love?
