South Korea Food Guide

Where every meal comes with a table full of side dishes

Updated May 2026 By TableJourney Editorial · South Korea

South Korea eats communally: grilled meat over charcoal, stews shared from a central pot, and a spread of banchan with every meal. From Seoul's court cuisine and night markets onward, each Korean city has its own way of feeding a table. Pick a city to begin.
