Seafood in Myeongdong

Raw fish, shellfish and seafood stews in Myeongdong.

Myeongdong has 24 seafood restaurants licensed and operating within 700 m, as of 2026-08-11.Source: business-licence data published by Korea's Ministry of the Interior and Safety. Updated daily; closed businesses excluded.

Seoul's most-visited shopping district, and the densest concentration of street-food carts in the country. Many restaurants here keep picture menus and English-speaking staff.

Korean raw fish is hoe (회) — sliced thin and eaten with chogochujang, a sweet chilli-vinegar sauce, rather than soy and wasabi. At coastal markets you can buy fish downstairs and pay a small fee to have it prepared and served upstairs. After the raw course, the bones usually go into a spicy maeuntang stew.
