Our Visit

Waikiki Market is a very popular Korean restaurant in Seoul because of its location on the Han River. With its dome-shaped tents, this is the perfect place to bbq while enjoying the summer breeze of the Han. There is a special atmosphere in Waikiki Market , especially at night. This place is so popular that it is best if you make a reservation in advance.

There are also different water activities such as wakeboarding and water skiing available at Waikiki Market. For those of you who want to go on a super fast boat ride on the Han River, it is only 8,000 KRW for a 7-minute boat ride!

Waikiki Market is divided into two areas: the reservation and walk-in seating areas. If you made a reservation on our website, follow this sign that reads "Reservation confirmation (예약확인)" at the counter.

If you think the set menu is not enough food, you can add extra items to your basket!

There are additional drinks, instant ramen, biscuits, etc. and the price is not too bad!

Customer with basket of items purchased

Since we made an online reservation and already ordered a set menu online, our basket was prepared for us in advance. We were so excited when we got our basket. Now, let's go grill!

The seating is located on the second floor of the building. Tables are inside individual dome roof tents, so you get some privacy. It is a great place to see the sunset here, as well as the night view of Seoul.

We booked a table in a dome-shaped tent on the second floor of the restaurant. When we walked up to the second floor, there was an employee who greeted us and showed us to our table. There was so much natural light in this space, and the atmosphere felt really nice.

Lettuce, hot peppers, perilla leaves, ssamjang, and other side dishes are available for unlimited self-service on the first floor. 

This was the set that we ordered, the Pork Neck Barbecue Set, which is the most popular menu item and 32,000 won per serving. You will need to order as many servings as the amount of people in your party. It is not considered cheap, but the view and atmosphere make it worth it. 

This set includes the main menu, which is the pork neck, two prawns, sausages, rice cakes, etc. all of which goes well together. 

The aroma of the barbeque made our mouths water. If the smoke gets unbearing, ask an employee for help.

There were lots of vegetables for grilling including mushrooms, green onions, squash, and onions. There were also side dishes such as kimchi and pickled onions and greens such as sesame leaves and red lettuce to eat with our grilled meat. If you like sweet foods with your meal, grill some pineapples and marshmallows as well.

Package of ramyeon noodles with cooking dish

While we were grilling, we felt like something was missing from our menu, so we went downstairs and bought some ramen and Coke. The ramen was 3,500 KRW and a bottle of Coke was 2,000 KRW.

Machines used to cook ramyeon noodles

There are cooking machines available where you can prepare your ramen. You just press the button of the brand of ramen that you bought and this machine will prepare it to perfection.

We had such a great time eating and hanging out at Waikiki Market! This is a fun and relaxing place to eat some good food, enjoy the Han River, and spend time with family or friends.

Waikiki Market is not just a fun experience but a comfortable place where you can eat delicious food and enjoy the view of the Han River. It's the perfect place to enjoy a night out with your family and friends.

After the meal, remember to assist in recycling the plates and sorting out the garbage. 

You can also ride a speedboat for just 8,000 KRW next to Waikiki Market!

They have life vests for guests to use at the store. Make sure to put on a vest for your safety! The speedboat ride was so thrilling and fast that we thought we were going to fall into the river! 

Looking at the brightly lit Waikiki Market from the middle of the Han was so beautiful.

If you are in Seoul and a picnic at the Han River park is not enough, stop by Waikiki Market to eat barbeque and also enjoy a speedboat ride!
