Seoul,
South Korea is no stranger to excellent high quality foods. All
price ranges offer a wide variety of flavors to suit anyone. We've
listed a few restaurants here as a free courtesy and these establishments
have been selected at random.
AMERICAN
RESTAURANTS If you simply cannot get by without some
level of American food while in South Korea, you won't starve.
In addition to KFC, Burger King, McDonalds, Pizza Hut, and The
Outback, there are other American restaurant chains. Here are
a few examples:

common. ) There are also other places like Sizzler, T.G.I. Fridays,
Tony Romas, and others in Seoul and the surrounding metro area.
If you need those addresses and telephone numbers, drop us a line,
and we'll get that information out to you. Your hotel may also
have them listed in a local guide, but don't count on it.

CHINESE
RESTAURANTS Chinese restaurants in Seoul are seemingly
everywhere. We can tell you that we have lived, worked, and studied
in China and we have eaten our share of high quality Chinese food
while in China. Having said that, comparing Chinese food from
China to Chinese food in Seoul, there is a substantial difference.
One of the most noticeable differences is the prices. If you plan
on eating at Chinese restaurants in Seoul be prepared to fork
over some hefty cash at most establishments. As for quality, it
depends on where you go. So... enjoy the search. Here are a few
good places to check out.
