Go to the same Korean pork BBQ restaurant featured on "Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown" on this classic Korean night out of BBQ and drinks. Spend a lively evening with a Korean food expert to learn about Korean BBQ and drinking etiquette, and then experience traditional and trendy alcoholic drinks in an energetic classic pub filled with Koreans from all walks of life. You will also explore a market famous for its pigs feet and a colorful market selling savory pancakes and tempura made from most anything under the sun.
For the ultimate experience, choose the "Three Stops" option to include a third parlay at an old school fried chicken pub with beer.
Make sure to bring your camera, but don't lose it, or they may fry it. This is the most intense way to immerse yourself in Korean food culture.

This was a BLAST!!!!!! We had so much fun with Jeff. The food was great but the company was even better. We learned so much about Korean BBQ, Soju, Makgeolli and Korean culture. All while laughing till our sides hurt. Jeff was awesome and even helped with restaurant tips the next day. Definitely take this tour.

David Mason, our guide for the evening was a fascinating dining host in his own right, giving insight into the Korean mindset. Couple this with a deep knowledge and love of the people, the culture and the food, we found the whole experience to be excellent. Our first stop, just a couple of hundred metres from the station, was a traditional barbecue restaurant based in an old hemp warehouse district. The food was cooked by us on a heated surface at the centre of the table, accompanied by a (weak!) vodka based drink - delicious! Second stop was a mostly seafood and vegetable tempura type of restaurant. You chose what you wanted (literally!), and they heated it and served it directly to you. Lovely, and with a rice wine to go with it, really wonderful! Third was a chicken-battered palate type of establishment. However, any similarities with Col. Saunders was minimal. This chicken was succulent and definitely high quality. Terra beer was suggested by David for this food, and excellent it was. David was a wonderful and fascinating host, and he delivered us back to the starting point, just a few minutes away from our last stop. A memorable experience. Thank you!

This Meetup was the best part of my trip. I got to meet so many different people visiting seoul and the guide was so knowledgeable and make sure that we knew how to get back on the train. The food was phenomenal and the drinks were even better.

We were a small group, it almost felt like a private tour. The food places, including the K-Fried Chicken venue were excellent in food and ambience. Our tour guide, Jeff was so friendly, funny, full of information about the food, Korean dining/drinking cultures and norms, as well as great company all through the evening. He even went over the allotted time tour. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone.

This should have been the first thing to do in Seoul, a nice evening to get to know the “food culture” in Seoul. So much to eat and no idea what or where? This tour will introduce you to delicious dishes in a very friendly and fun atmosphere… at least that was my experience, thanks a lot!!!!

Bre was so much fun! Our group was pretty large but she did a great job making us all feel included and got us all talking to each other. She shared with us some important cultural experiences and did a great job juggling everyone. Her personal experiences and anecdotes were fun and made us all feel very welcome, relaxed and enjoyable. Also, big thanks to Lauren! Fried chicken wouldn't have been the same without you. Glad we added it on. It was definitely a ton of food and drinks but we had a great time.

This was such a fun experience! We were a small group (me — a solo traveler — and a lovely couple from Scotland along with our guide Hannah) and the places, meals and drinks were amazing. These are places I wouldn’t have gone to on my own; it was great having someone who spoke the language. 10/10. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
