Chinese and Japanese are the foreign cuisines most common in Korea. Most Chinese restaurants in Korea are modest affairs that serve jajangmyung (noodles with black sauce) and tang su yuk (sweet and sour pork). Japanese restaurants are generally more expensive and dishes usually include twigim (tempura) and sashimi (raw fish).
Western food is becoming more and more prevalent in Korea. Fast food joints such as KFC, McDonalds, Subway, Popeye’s and Baskin Robbins are becoming more and more common in Korea, and not surprising, waistlines are expanding as well. Fast food isn’t cheap in Korea compared to local fare. In larger cities such as Seoul and Pusan more ‘upscale’ Western dining establishments such as Bennigan’s and TGI Friday’s are available, but will burn a hole in your wallet. In Seoul, particularly in the Itaewon district, there are a number of western style restaurants and other ‘Ethnic’ restaurants as well, including Italian, Indian and Hong Kong style Chinese food.

“I've just been through the SMOE orientation and started my new job. And I just wanted to say thank you to you and Footprints- after meeting all those who came through other recruiting agencies I realized how lucky I was to be with Footprints. You provided me with much more information than others received and you've always been very helpful and knowledgeable.
Thank you so much again, Susannah”
