Depending on one's palette, quality food in Seoul can be dirt cheap or relatively pricey. Street food in Seoul is safe and tasty, and high-end restaurants are generally a good value as well. Much Korean cuisine is made specifically to be shared with a group so solo-travelers may get some strange looks eating alone.
The very definition of Gangnam luxury is this brand-new seafood buffet on the 52nd floor fo the World Trade Center Seoul. Gaze out at the cityscape below as you dine on king crab, lobster, shrimp, prawns, tuna belly sashimi, and more. The interior is modern and classy without feeling stuffy, and the restaurant also boasts an impressive wine list to go with all of that top-notch seafood. Just bring a powerful credit card, because for a meal like this you've got to pay to play.
Seoul's main fish market, Noryrangjin makes for one of the city's most unique dining experiences. Walking by tanks of snapper, giant crabs, jellyfish, and an astonishing variety of other seafood, visitors can chose a fish and head down to the market's basement to have it prepared and cooked. Sashimi is usually served with a tart vinegared chili sauce, raw garlic, chilies, and lettuce leaves to wrap everything up. Afterwards you can have the bones made into a spicy soup. While Noryrangjin is great for both the freshest fish and the experience itself, it is a fish market so it is not the place to wear your nicest shoes.
