Welcome to Incheon Aiport New Town, also known as Unseo-Dong!
Well, you are here and settled into your hotel/motel/hostel/sauna/PC room? I suppose you want to find something to eat, do you? Well, here are my suggestions of Where to eat and drink in Unseo-Dong:
Bear in mind all of these recommendations are within a minutes, if not thirty seconds, walk of each other. If you can find one, you can find the rest!
1: CHOSUN CAFE (조선 카페)
The CHOSUN CAFE is a nice, friendly Korean barbecue restaurant here in town. The staff are helpful and do all the cooking for you, which is good if you haven't experienced cooking Korean barbecue before. The table is essentially one large grill on which they cook kimchi, beansprouts, steamed egg and nureungji (burnt rice soup) and all of your meat. After, try the bokkeumbap (fried rice) and wash it all down with some beer and soju! They put on a bit of a show for you sometimes, too, but that surprise can wait for when you attend.
The menu is in English, so you can't go TOO wrong... can you? |
2: Myeong Pum Gwan (명품관)
Myeong Pum Gwan is a really nice traditional Korean restaurant in town, that offers a good range of Korean foods, mostly meaty and mostly beefy. Here you can eat stone bowl bibimbap, beef rib soup and lots of other things. The staff are friendly and the price, as you will find at most restaurants here in Korea, is reasonable.
In here and up the stairs, you will be greeted and taken to a seat. |
The menu here is also in English, enjoy! |
3: Gamja Gol (감자골)
Gamja Gol is a Potato Soup restaurant in Unseo. While it might not sound hugely appetizing, the Koreans have made something REALLY special here. You can order big sharing dishes with large pieces of super soft pork, swimming in a rich sauce and buried under a mountain of thick japanese style noodles. There are a couple of shrimps thrown on top too. To order this ask for the 감자찜 (Gamja Jjim). You can order individual soups too, but the real star of the show at this restaurant is the sharing dishes.
You can get here by going to the second floor of the building which Amy's coffee (below) is a part of.
Nice tables and warm bums from the heated floor! |
5: Amy's Coffee (에이미스 커피)
Amy's coffee is a nice and cosy coffee shop and has well priced coffees and friendly staff! They have a good menu and they also sell bubble tea! If you're in the mood for a caffeinated beverage or just need some wifi coupled with something tasty, pop in here!
See, cosy. |
Nothing unusual here. |
6: 'In d oven' bakery
In d oven (in the oven, get it?) bakery sells lots of tasty, freshly baked goods! It is quite unusual to see the kitchen working in bakeries, and this is a good aspect of in d oven. There is SO MUCH DOUGH, but ironically you won't be spending much dough in here as the prices are the best of any bakery I've seen here in Korea.
She is banned. |
Lots of tasties. Eat the tasties. |
The best. Buy it. Eat it. |
7: Unseo Skewer Shop/Charcoal Fire Kebab (숯불 직화 꼬치)
Here is a wonderful skewer and beer place. You can order lots of chicken, pork, beef and veggie skewers here with different sauces. If you don't want the spicy sauce (which is the normal option) ask for teriyaki or salt instead when ordering. The beer (inexpensive) runs freely and you can keep on ordering skewers until you are ready to roll home.
Difficult to miss. |
Buy them. Eat them. |
So, come and eat in Unseo! If you are completely lost and have no idea what to eat, hopefully my recommendations can come in handy!
They really are all so close to each other. To find the general area, walk straight out of the station and keep walking straight until you see one of the businesses above!
