These banchan come in a wide range of assortment such as vegetable, egg, fish, and seafood. They are served in plenty of different ways, too – raw, fermented, braised, fried, etc. Kimchi, the most popular Korean dish, is also the most common banchan.
What’s great about eating in Seoul restaurants is that you can never predict the kinds of banchan that would be serving. It’s almost always a different set in each restaurant every day.
Oh, and you know what’s even better? Banchan refills are usually free, so you can fill up to your appetite’s content.
Here are the best places to have banchan in Seoul.
