2025 Sinsa-dong Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

One of the most popular cafes in Seoul is "NUDAKE". It's interesting that each store has a completely different atmosphere, but one of the selling points of Garosugil is "Oniwassan". This is a rice ball x croissant. It's been advertised as delicious in many places, so I had high expectations, so I left it...lol The regular bread might have been more delicious. [NUDAKE SINSA] Address: 524-12 Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul #AsiaTravel#SeoulCafe#SeoulGourmet

#Spring and Summer Destinations 2024 #Afternoon Tea Time #Must-visit Korea Nowadays, young people in Korea go to Ikseon-dong, Yeonnam-dong, Seongsu-dong and Hannam-dong. Myeong-dong is a declining food spot. People who go to Sinsa-dong are people like me who are a fan of Korea but a bit older. 🌟Sinsadong has a wide range of entertainment and shopping options, and the price-performance ratio is good for me. The uncomplicated tree-lined avenue is the center, and eating, drinking and shopping are spread out like branches and leaves. The walking route is simple and romantic. From contact lenses, beauty makeup to trendy brand clothing, fried chicken snacks, exotic restaurants and countless coffee shops, it is worth going to Gangnam👍 🌟 Cafe Kitsune is owned by the fashion brand Maison Kitsune. I love the mysterious entrance with a small sign on the road. There are two rows of lush (?) trees looking inside. It has a bit of Kyoto feel. There are seats inside and outside the first floor. There are also branded clothes and accessories on the second floor. The prices are a bit high but I always come here to explore new stores💕 ✔️Coffee hot drink cup with brand name printed on it ✔️Raspberry financier, the sweetness of berries and the solid taste go well together ✔️Fox cookies~very cute cookies 💯I secretly brought some fried chicken that can be bought nearby (you can buy it anywhere in Korea without any problems) for my friend to eat. They basically don’t mind if you spend a minimum amount outdoors. The yellow lights inside the house are romantic. The outdoor area is especially recommended in the evening👍 📍23 Dosan-daero 13-gil, Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu (Exit 8-9 of Sinsa Station is a good place to go)

#SeoulTravel #SinsadongRestaurant #Sinsadong #EatTour #RestaurantExploration 💛 Juicy! Recommended Seoul Sinsadong Donkatsu Restaurant Tour that was featured on TV!! 💛 📍Hansung Donkatsu Sinsa Main Branch: 10 Gangnam-daero 97-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul, 1st floor Hansung Donkatsu 📍Opening Hours: 11:00~22:00 / Closed on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of every month 🍱 I'd like to introduce 'Hansung Donkatsu Sinsa Main Branch' as ​​a Donkatsu Seoul Restaurant Tour that has a good balance of Korean and Japanese Donkatsu! It's a place with a crispy batter and thick meat that's juicy, and the Hirekatsu and Cheesekatsu were really delicious. 🧡 The restaurant was clean because it was remodeled, and I could see why it's a popular restaurant that's been loved for a long time! The sauce for the cabbage salad was delicious, and 🥗 I like the harmony of mustard and Donkatsu sauce! If you come to Seoul, I recommend you visit Hanseong Donkatsu~!

📍Lamb Cook Tucked away in a Sinsa-dong alleyway, Lamb Cook is a dining bar with warm lighting. The moment you open the door, the aroma of charcoal and the savory flavors permeate the air, stimulating your appetite instantly. 🍷 The signature dish is undoubtedly the charcoal-grilled lamb ribs! The sizzling aroma of the lamb ribs wafting over the flames is truly captivating. 🔥 Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, each bite bursts with juices, and a light dip with mint sauce or salt creates a refreshing, non-greasy experience. The subdued lighting and wood-toned interior create the perfect atmosphere. It's the perfect spot for a date, a special occasion, or even a simple evening with a glass of wine. For a sophisticated culinary evening in Sinsa, head to Lamb Cook! 🥂 #SinsaRestaurant #LambCook #SinsaLambCook #SinsaYanggalbi #LambRestaurant #SinsaMeatRestaurant #SeoulLamb #SinsaDateCourse #SinsaHotPlace #LambCook #SinsaRestaurant #SeoulEats #LambChop #SeoulDining #SeoulHotspot #WineAndMeat #SeoulNightlife #KFood #OctoberTravelSupport

A little fly I met in Gangnam. [CAFE PARDON] is located on a street adjacent to Dosan Park, a place with many trendy hot spots, just a short walk from Apgujeong Rodeo Station in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu. As you open the large, intriguing glass and wood door in front of the apartment building, where ordinary daily life goes on, and step inside, a space filled with exotic sensibilities unfolds before your eyes. A high ceiling and openness, with a structure connecting the first floor and basement, adds to the fun, and a sensual space completed with a harmony of wood, lighting, and props. After ordering coffee with the help of friendly staff, you can enjoy Basque cheesecake and egg tarts made with care in the store along with non-coffee menus that are carefully prepared to allow you to choose beans with different nuances.

#IndoorDate Tucked away in a Sinsa Station alleyway, Sum's, a fusion dining restaurant, stands out with its striking blue exterior and large, central sign with its name. As a food hall, the menu features a diverse mix of Eastern and Western cuisine and alcoholic beverages. I loved that alcohol wasn't required. 🤍 I visited on my birthday, and I was so touched by the birthday treats, from cheesecake to a bowl of seaweed soup. ㅠㅠ We promised ourselves to go here again for birthdays. Hehe. The food was absolutely delicious. We had such a great time! The restaurant itself is incredibly popular, so I highly recommend making a reservation! + They also have a terrace, which is perfect for this weather. . . 📍Sooms 154-4 Dosandaero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, 1st floor 🕰️ 3:00 PM - 12:00 AM #SeoulTravel #OutdoorDate

Cafe Gongmyeong in Sinsa-dong!! The atmosphere is quiet on weekdays, perfect for working on your laptop. You can also hang out with a few friends. The puffs are truly delicious 😋 A must-visit! Highly recommended! #Seoul #Cafe

Located near Xinshadong, the soy sauce crab and crab hot pot are delicious. The soy sauce crab is very good, and the crab hot pot soup base is very good, but the crab meat is a bit plump. However, the overall experience is still very good. The average cost is about 500 yuan per person.

A journey full of youthful energy and unique charm. The streets and alleys are a perfect blend of trendiness and tradition, showcasing Koreans' passion for aesthetics. Indulge in local delicacies like fried chicken and spicy rice cakes, tantalizing your taste buds while satisfying your appetite. With historical landmarks and modern architecture coexisting, you can explore palaces to experience history and relax in cafes to enjoy the urban rhythm. At night, the Hongdae area comes alive with music and street performances, captivating every visitor. Seoul is a fascinating city filled with surprises and freshness, making you want to visit again and again.

When visiting Korea, you must try their signature dish, soy sauce marinated crab. However, dining alone can be challenging as you might worry about not finishing the food, and many restaurants require a reservation for two or more people. This time, I chose the original Masan Soy Sauce Crab restaurant, which has been awarded Michelin recognition for years. It's conveniently located near the Soy Sauce Crab Street in Gangnam District. Soy Sauce Crab Rice Bowl Dining solo? Ordering a soy sauce crab rice bowl is more than enough. It comes with side dishes, and the restaurant staff skillfully removes the crab meat for you, so you can enjoy the dish elegantly without getting your hands dirty. The soy sauce crab mixed with egg yolk, seaweed, and crab roe creates an incredibly fresh and sweet flavor. The crab meat is tender and smooth, though the taste might be slightly mild. Still, it's delicious! The price is around HK$200, which I think is reasonable for solo diners. If you're dining with a companion, I recommend each person enjoying their own soy sauce crab for a more satisfying experience. 😂 Original Masan Soy Sauce Crab

If you want to find some authentic food in Seoul, sauce crab is definitely a must-eat top1!

If you want to try a few, remember to reserve your stomach, the more you eat, the more addicted ~ #Seoul Food Exploration #Sauce Crab with White Rice #KoreanFood

#seoulspots 🇰🇷 Sinsa-dong｜Sinsa-jeon — The Viral Honey Makgeolli Spot I’ve been to Sinsa twice, and every time this restaurant had a long line at the door. The second time, I decided to skip choosing a place to eat and just joined the queue — totally worth it! 🍲 What We Ordered • Spicy kimchi stew (comfort food at its best) • A big pancake platter — crispy, savory, and perfect for sharing • And of course, their famous honey makgeolli 🍯🍶 Honestly, Korean food often feels like BBQ, fried chicken, or gamjatang, but this place stood out with its hearty stew and tasty pancake platter. If you’re okay with a little alcohol, definitely try the honey makgeolli — it’s lightly sweet, low in alcohol, and pairs perfectly with the vibe of the restaurant. ✨ The Vibe Cozy, lively, and full of energy. I don’t usually plan food spots in advance — I prefer to go with the flow — but stumbling upon Sinsa-jeon turned out to be a great choice. 📍 Info 🏪 Restaurant: 신사전 (Sinsa-jeon) 📍 Address: 18 Dosan-daero 11-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul

As soon as we arrived, the kids' eyes lit up👀. In a colorful and beautiful space, they had the chance to create, touch, and learn—what an adorable and precious time it was! The one-day bead craft class at Carry Market was especially meaningful because the teachers communicated well with the children, and most importantly, the kids felt a sense of accomplishment from doing things on their own. After the class, there was a lovely photo zone where we could snap pictures📸. They even thoughtfully provided souvenirs, and our child kept talking about the class even after we got home. It was a wonderful way to combine shopping with a unique experience.
