Curious to dive deeper into Korean culture?

One of the best ways is through Korean food! 😋 And there’s no better place to experience it than in Gyeonggi Province.

Located just next to Seoul, Gyeonggi Province is easily accessible and famous for its unique food streets, each offering its own local flavors.

Today, we’re introducing two must-visit K-Food streets where international travelers can not only enjoy a delicious meal but also experience the heart of Korean food culture.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Suwon Chicken Street

📍 16, Jeongjo-ro 800beon-gil, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do

🕙 Open year-round (Operating hours vary by restaurant)



If you've heard of Korean fried chicken, you definitely need to visit Suwon's famous Chicken Street!

This lively alley is considered the birthplace of "old-school" Korean fried chicken, offering a truly authentic local experience.

Since the 1970s, this street has been home to numerous fried chicken restaurants, and even today, it's so popular that finding an empty seat on weekends can be a challenge!



Visitor Tips

1. Tongdak is a whole chicken deep-fried to crispy perfection—expect crunchy skin and juicy meat inside!

2. Most places serve chicken alongside ice-cold beer, so you can experience the beloved Korean tradition of "chimaek" (chicken + beer).

3. It's also located near Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, making it a perfect stop during your sightseeing trip!

It is more than just a meal! Suwon Chicken Street offers a nostalgic glimpse into Korean memories and traditions. 😊

2. Uijeongbu Budaejjigae Street

📍 7, Hoguk-ro 1309beon-gil, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do

🕙 Open year-round (Operating hours vary by restaurant)



Looking for something spicier and heartier?

Head to Uijeongbu Budaejjigae Street!

Budaejjigae, or "Army Stew," is a uniquely Korean fusion dish that blends: Western ingredients like ham, sausage, and bacon, with Korean ingredients like kimchi, gochujang (red chili paste), rice cakes, and ramen noodles, creating a deeply flavorful and comforting stew.



Originating after the Korean War using surplus ingredients from U.S. military bases, budaejjigae has evolved with Korean flavors into a beloved K-food classic.

In Uijeongbu City, you’ll find an entire street lined with budaejjigae specialty restaurants, each offering their own secret recipes and signature broths. This place is fun for taste-testing and finding your favorite.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whether it’s the nostalgic crispy chicken of Suwon City or the hearty, spicy budaejjigae of Uijeongbu City, these two dishes are more than just food. They're a true taste of Korean life and culture 😊

Experience local food like a true Korean in Gyeonggi Province!
