1. Burger and fries

2. pizza

Price: W15,000~30,000 (US$13~26)

Domino’s, Papa John’s, and Pizza Hut are available for delivery in most areas, although somewhat on the pricey side.  Local alternative brands, such as Mr. Pizza, Pizza Alvolo, and Pizza Heaven are less expensive, but you be the judge on the best bang for the buck.

3. Fried chicken

Price: W14,000~20,000 (US$12~18)

Fried chicken is extremely popular in Korea, and you can practically find a fried chicken joint on every street corner throughout the country.  Due to the high concentration and competition among a plethora of brands, quality is high and prices are kept in check.  The 2 most prevalent types are the ones pictured: standard fried chicken (TOP) and spicy chicken (BOTTOM).  Most places will allow you to order half/half.  FYI, most chicken places also offer draft beer delivery by the liter with your chicken order.

4. Bibimbap (Mixed rice)

Price: W6,000~8,000 (US$5~7)

This is a staple Korean dish consisting of warm rice, assorted sautéed vegetables, chili pepper paste, a fried egg, and usually a small portion of thinly sliced meat (vegetarians can request meat and egg be excluded).  If you’ve ever flown on a Korean airline, you’ve likely been served this tasty dish.

Note: Items #5~#10 are popular Korean-Chinese menu items, among the most popular food delivery choices among local Koreans.

5. Jajangmyeon (Korean-Chinese noodle dish)

Price: W5,000~7,000 (US$4~6)

Unless you are at Ho Lee Chow in Itaewon or one of the few Panda Express locations here, you will find that Korean-style Chinese food is quite different from the Western variety.  Jajangmyeon is a noodle dish topped with a thick sauce (not spicy) containing diced pork and vegetables.  To note, Jajangmyeon, along with Jjamppong (below), are the 2 most popular delivery menu items among Koreans.

6. Jjamppong (Korean-Chinese seafood noodle soup)

Price: W6,000~8,000 (US$5~7)

Jjamppong is a moderately spicy seafood noodle soup, consisting of various vegetables, pork, and seafood, including squid and mussels.  Jjamppong is representative of the pervasive soup culture of Korea, commonly partaken to relieve hangovers after a night of soju drinking.

7. Bokkeum-bap (Korean-Chinese stir-fried rice)

Price: W6,000~8,000 (US$5~7)

Another popular Korean-Chinese dish, consisting of stir-fried rice, sauteed vegetables, mixed with eggs, ham, and/or shrimp.

8. Tangsuyook (Korean-Chinese sweet and sour fried pork)

Price: W15,000~30,000 (US$13~26)

Tangsuyook is offered in different sizes and is usually shared by at least 2 or more people, commonly together with individual servings of Jajangmyeon or Jjamppong.

Picture

9. Kkanpoonggi (Korean-Chinese spicy boneless fried chicken)

Price: W20,000~30,000 (US$18~26)

When ordering from a Korean-Chinese restaurant, Tangsuyook and Kkanpoonggi are generally interchangeable, depending on your taste buds.

10. Mahndoo (dumplings)

Price: W4,000~6,000 (US$4~5)

Mahndoo is served either fried (as pictured) or steamed.  It is usually inexpensive, which means a single order usually will not be delivered, so it is frequently added as a side dish for all to share with another main dish.  Oftentimes, Korean-Chinese restaurants will throw in a free Mahndoo plate if your order is sizeable.

11. Bossam (boiled pork wraps)

Price: W20,000~35,000 (US$18~31)

The love of meat knows no national boundaries, and pork is one of the most beloved in Korea.  Bossam is eaten by wrapping the pork with fresh cabbage, and adding moderately spicy radish, Korean green pepper, garlic, and salted shrimp at your discretion. Usually sold in servings for 2 or more.

Picture

12. Jokbal (pork hocks)

Price: W25,000~35,000 (US$22~31)

Jokbal is the more adventurous choice versus Bossam, and quality will also vary more widely between restaurants than Bossam, and is slightly  more expensive.  But true pork afficionados will swear by Jokbal, which is braised in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and other spices.  Usually sold in servings for 2 or more.

13. Nengmyun (cold buckwheat noodles)

Price: W7,000~8,000 (US$6~7)

With the thawing in South/North relations, this dish has received added focus recently, as North Korean-style Nengmyun is quite popular in the South.  Nengmyun comes in 2 main varieties – with the traditional meat broth (TOP, not spicy) and the spicy mixed noodle-type (BOTTOM).

Picture

14. Gimbap

Price: W3,000~5,000 per "roll" (US$3~4)

The ultimate Korean “quick bite” to-go food, Gimbap is steamed rice mixed with fresh vegetables, fried seasoned eggs, and pickled radish, all neatly wrapped in a thin layer of dried seaweed.  Gimbap comes in several varieties including bulgogi (marinated beef), tuna, kimchi, cheese, and ham, among others.  Due to minimum order size requirements, Gimbap may need to be combined with other items.
