YesTips from parents who've been
💡 There are separate rooms, so you can eat without worrying if your child gets a little restless.
💡 The dining room is not especially large, so a folding stroller works better than a big one.
💡 It does not open at weekends, so check the day if you are fitting it around Gyeongbokgung or Gwanghwamun.
Tips for going with kids
💡 The bulgogi pot has a sweet soy broth — stir it through rice and children eat it well.
💡 The clear soft tofu stew is the white, non-red version, so younger children manage it comfortably.
💡 The lunch Korean beef bulgogi set comes with steamed egg, japchae and jeon, which takes care of side dishes for a child.
Travelling in Korea
💡 Hanjeongsik is a Korean set meal laid out with many side dishes around a main course.
💡 Boribgulbi is a salted fish eaten with rice soaked in green tea water — a traditional Korean dish.
💡 Book a quiet room in advance and the visit is much easier.
