It is always great to meet other people that share a love of food. I got to meet with Seoul Grub  a couple months back and he is definitely a foodie. His blog is a great resource for those looking for good eats. Here are some of his favorite places in Seoul. Also, if you are interested in contributing a post to Seoul Eats, please contact me at seouleats at gmail dot com. Seoulgrub’s 5 Favorite “Grubberies” in Seoul! In no particular order: Vatos Urban Tacos 1 - Vatos Urban Tacos: A spunky spot located in Itaewon where they serve up “Tacos, Margaritas, and everything in between,” this place does taco’s deliciously. They have incorporated fresh, authentic ingredients to muster up a delicious fusion blend of Mexican and Korean flavored dishes. Staying true to what a taco should be, Vatos Urban Tacos has a variety of tasty taco choices, finger-licking hot sauces (plural), and a great selection of drinks to accompany your meal. I recommend getting each of the different types o...

Halmoni Calguksu Rating 2 Stars: Recommended (Very Local Place! Huge bowl of noodles, excellent kimchi and sauce.) When it rains, I always see an extra long cue outside of Halmoni Calguksu in the alleys of Jongno 3-ga. It always has a line but on raining days there is an extra long line- like 25 people deep. The place is located in the alleys outside of Jongno 3-ga (Line 5) exit 6. Once you venture into the alleyways you'll find a whole new world of Korean food. The restaurant has been around from ages. The grandmother- a kind, frail woman still comes by from time to time, but it is her daughter that runs the shop now. Her daughter is a robust force of nature- a general of the army of knife-cut noodle soup. Her chefs in command make bowl after bowl of handcut noodles that are cooked in an anchovy and clam broth. As each bowl reaches completion another chef artistically garnishes it with black, roasted laver, crisp green onions, and 3 boiled slices of potatoes. This takes al...

Grandmother's Knife-cut Noodles In the back alley of Jongno 3-ga, you'll find Grandmother's Knife-cut noodles. The place has been around for 20 years and it's the most popular knife-cut noodle shop in the area- which is surprising because it looks like a dump. It looks like a shanty with seats, but maybe that's because they have been so busy for so long that they haven't had a chance to fix it up. Even though it looks like a shanty, the place is McDonald's efficient. Once you sit, your order is taken and 2 minutes later you have a piping hot bowl of noodle soup. They have only two things on the menu: Knife cut noodles or Knife Cut Noodles with dumplings (sujebi) (In the summer they have Kongguksu: Chilled Soybean Milk Noodle Soup.) Everything costs 4,000 won (about $3.50) for a humongoid bowl of noodley goodness. Kimchi is included. Name: Halmoni Calguksu Phone Number: ??? Website: ??? Directions: It's on the back streets of Jongno. If you ...

It's a must eat place in Seoul. Calguksu is good, but at Myeongdong Gyoja it is amazing. And here we go. The Myeongdong Bibimguksu. Spicy and Delicious. And here come the amazing Gyoja Mandu, spicy kimchi, calguksu, and rice. Close up on Myeongdong Gyoja Bibimguksu. The sauce is amazing, but I think it's the microscopic bits of meat that make it deletectable. The famous Myeongdong Gyoja Calguksu. There are many fakes, but this one is real. Delicious! The kimchi is spicy. It's good to cool down with some noodle!
