For those who like to travel, they may come to Korea up to four or five times a year. These people have to go to Seoul for a seasonal shopping trip every season. For clothes, or to buy the same lipstick that her boyfriend likes.

So in this case, we have to eat smart and eat Korean food of high standard and good cost-efficiency! Today I will introduce you to the Sinchon cuisine which is just that, all on the Seoul Metro Line 2.

Cost-Efficient Sinchon Food

1. Matitneun Sundubu & Kimchijjim (맛있는순두부&김치찜)
Address：36 Myeongmul-gil, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul

This Sinchon cuisine "delicious tofu  & kimchi pot", is a restaurant with great quality for its price! Open 24 hours, the location is in Sinchon, because many friends stay in the Sinchon when they come to Korea, they need no longer stay hungry at night.

There are six to eight kinds of mixed vegetables in the delicious tofu pot and kimchi pot, not only basic kimchi, yellow radish, but also black beans, dried fish, shredded carrots, spicy squid, bean sprouts, spinach and so on. You can eat as much as you want, and eggs and seaweed are also available in unlimited quantities!

The main dish is tofu-based. Personally recommend white tofu (하양손두부), seafood tofu (해산물손두부), the menu has Chinese and pictures too. The price is from 7,000 won to 8,000 won, but the taste and value are equally great. So you'll be making the right choice.

2. Bukchangdong Tofu (북창동순두부)
Address：133, Yanghwa-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul

This  "Bukchangdong Tofu" is another cost-efficient restaurant located on the periphery of Hongdae Shopping Street. However, there are many other tofu soup chains in South Korea. Where is this particular store?

The dish is not the cheapest, but the side dish has a whole grilled fish, is it very good!

First put all the rice in the stone pot into an ordinary rice bowl. Due to the heat, the rice will stick on the side of the stone pot. Then pour the black rice tea into the pot, cover it, and open the cover at the end of the meal!

The recommended dishes are cheese kimchi tofu soup and seafood white tofu soup, the overall pot price is about ₩ 8,000 to ₩ 9,000.

3. Yuggaltang (육갈탕)
Address：8-6, Yeonsei-ro 5-ga-gil, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul

When traveling to Korea, many people like to eat Korean raw beef. Everyone should go to Gwangjang Market or some other traditional markets.

However, if you want to speed up your schedule and want to taste raw beef while shopping in Sinchon, I recommend coming to this Sinchon gourmet "Yuggaltang". Located on the main street of Sinchon commercial district, many foreigners will come to eat, and raw beef bibimbap is relatively cheaper.

For those who only want to taste the basic taste, you can try it first in Sinchon; those who dare not eat raw beef can also try its pork bone soup or other meals.

4. Cheese That Loves Jjimdak (치즈를 사랑한 찜닭)
Address：2F, 29, Yonsei-ro, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul

I wonder if there are any friends who like to eat Korean chicken stew? First of all, I will introduce this Sinchon cuisine "Cheese that Loves Jjimadak", which is located on the main road of Sinchon commercial district.

Friends who love cheese fries and super high-calorie cuisine must come here! Roast the cheese, french fries and stewed chicken together, it's really delicious and doesn't feel greasy. I have a group of six with my girlfriends. A large portion is enough. I recommend it privately.

5. Premium Jjimdak (내가 찜한닭)
Address：7, Ewha Women's University 7-gil, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul (Ewha Store) ;  24 Yeonse-ro, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul (Sinchon Store)

The next is this restaurant "Premium Jjimdak", which has branches in Sinchon and Ewha. The price is not bad. You can choose the ingredients for the top layer of chicken stew, such as cheese or Korean noodles, rice cakes, etc.

I personally recommend the cheese rice cake, but I must compare it. I personally think that it's safe here, so you won't make any wrong choice here. But because there are many places, if you really don’t know what to eat, I confidently enter this place.

6. Whale Pasta (고래파스타)
Address：10-3, Yeonsei-ro 7-an-gil, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul

This Sinchon delicacy "Whale Pasta" is not a very cheap restaurant. The owner of the shop works alone. He will cook in the open kitchen, and you can smell the most direct food aroma while waiting.

Sinchon Food "Whale Pasta" is located at the end of Sinchon Street. The signboard on the second floor is yellow. It is okay to be suspicious. Fortunately, I found it only after recommendation and guidance from a Korean friend.

The hearty Italian pasta is served on the table, filled with the rich flavour of seafood, and the restaurant also offers steak meals (PS, the owner is very handsome, and men who cook are very attractive).
