Guidebook for Namgajwa-dong
Food Scene
English Name: Onigiri and Gyudong
This is a relatively cheap place for simple Japanese food. They have a good variety of rice bowls and noodles. Their specialty are their beef bowls. I would personally recommend either the garlic beef bowl or triple cheese beef bowl.
They also have some good onigiri. I would recommend the spam or anchovy onigiri. Don't worry - it's not the salty kind of anchovy they put on pizza back in the States.
Average price: under 10,000 krw.
Recommendations: garlic beef bowl, triple cheese beef bowl, spam rice bowl, chicken mayonnaise rice bowl, anchovy onigiri.

You can find Paris Baguette throughout Seoul. I am just pointing out that there is a Paris Baguette at this location. If you walk the opposite way down this road for about 10 minutes though you can find another Paris Baguette which is a bit better than this one.

English Name: Busan Ajime Soup
This is a restaurant serving Busan style food. None of the food here is incredible, but I would say everything is good enough. The prices are slightly high but not terrible. One thing I like is that you can usually get all you can eat carrots for free.
Recommended dishes:
Kimchi chiggae: this is a stew made out of kimchi, tofu, and pork. The kimchi chiggae here is perhaps a cut above ones I've had at other places. They usually serve it along with roasted seaweed. If you mix the stew with rice and seaweed it is quite good.
Honorable mentions: rolled egg with cheese, blood sausage, dumplings, cold noodles
Price range: 5,000 to 10,000 krw.

English Name: Nao Sushi
If you are really craving sushi then this place might be alright for you. I've been here a few times and it serves just decent Japanese food. The prices though are slightly high too. If you want good Japanese food I would recommend walking straight, turning right, and then trying either "Kamiya" or "Pak's Sushi."

English Name: Pelicana Fried Chicken
If you're in Korea you have to try fried chicken. This place has great fried chicken. It is very crispy and seems to be fried in relatively clean oil. The boneless chicken here too is moister than that at most other chicken places. I would recommend the boneless green onion chicken or boneless yangnyeom chicken if you want to try something more Korean. The chicken legs though are also very tasty. This place also has very high reviews from Korean netizens. You can either get carry out from the restaurant or get it delivered.
Recommended dish: green onion boneless chicken
Price range: 17,000 - 20,000 krw
