The best Japanese restaurants South Korea

Japanese bar-restaurant offering teriyaki skewers.

Opening in 2019, this establishment offers very good sushi (초밥/초 chobap). We're positioned opposite the cooks and it's great fun to watch them work out the sushi, from preparing the fish to assembling it. As in Japan, the small plates pass by on a conveyor belt and you grab the victuals that most appeal to you. You have the option of taking a set menu, which entitles you to 10 sushi + a bowl of noodles, or paying for your sushi by the piece. A very good establishment!

Small structure but immense delights! This establishment specializes in curry (kare in Korean). It must be said that Koreans love the Japanese version (less spicy than the Indian one). So you can choose between several variations: vegetable curry, chicken curry, meat and potato croquettes or fried shrimp curry. We fell in love with the vegetable curry, which is a real treat with just the right amount of spices. Accompanied by rice and a fried egg, your stomach comes out of here full (and happy).

A real good address for sushi, sashimi and rolls (very Americanized...). First of all, we love the decoration of the place, very fresh, modern, elegant and vegetal. Then, the whole of the prepared products breathe quality and know-how. And finally, the prices charged are more than reasonable, which leaves the door wide open to greediness. Rare enough in South Korea to be highlighted, there is even the opportunity to eat on one of the few tables set up outside. This place is gonna be a blast!

Japanese restaurant reputed to be one of the best in the city. And indeed, the cuisine there is delicate and delicious. The quintessence of sashimi is served here, so food lovers will be delighted to discover and rediscover them in gastronomic versions. There is also something to satisfy those who don't like raw fish! What's more, the place is superb, chic and, what's more, beautifully decorated. The menus vary between lunch and dinner. The prices remain very reasonable considering the quality of the dishes.

Belonging to the famous Menya Sandaime chain (found in many cities), this tiny Japanese restaurant with its typical and warm atmosphere serves the best ramen (meat or fish noodle soup seasoned with miso) from Busan! It is very often full, you have to be patient. The best time to go there is at lunchtime, even if it is crowded, people eat quickly because work requires it. A real taste of Japan. And you can choose your favorite little one between Japanese ramen and Korean ramyeon.

For those who wish to discover Japanese cuisine while eating something other than sushi, you've come to the right place. This small but chic Japanese restaurant, whose popularity is growing steadily, offers simple but delicious Japanese dishes prepared for you. We can only recommend the speciality of soba noodles, especially the surprising version with avocado and basil. Grilled a la plancha, they promise an explosion of flavour. A little waiting is nevertheless to be expected before having a table.
