1. Tian Jin Yeong Gam: Even acknowledged by a study abroad Chinese student, Tian Jin Yeong Gam is a place that Pongja recommends for anyone looking for a good pot of malatang. But on top of that, what makes this place so special is their fried corn side dish.
2. Seoul Jjugumi: Located in Seocho, Tzuyang recently made a visit. With the chewy octopus seasoned with gochujang marinade along with samgyupsal. This combination is a match made in heaven, and as the restaurant offers a variety of spice levels, from one to three being the hottest, this is a great place to dine at.
3. Kimbap Chungook: Translated as kimbap heaven, this is almost everyone's go-to place for cheap yet delicious bunshik (snack/street food). From ramen, tteokbokki, kimbap and more. You can see just how yummy the food looks as mukbanger SangHyuk dives into all sorts of Korean dishes.
4. London Bagel Museum: Although Park Myung Soo isn't necessarily a mukbanger, his channel does have many food reviews. With that being said, recently with the appearance of BLACKPINK's Jisoo, he has done a mukbang series on bagels. A bread lover, Jisoo has also given her review on the London Bagel Museum recommending getting the basil cream cheese.
5. Eunma Shopping Mall: If you're a local, you know that the best places to eat aren't at actual restaurants but at the local market. Full of various street foods, Heebab can be seen munching on all various sorts of dishes from rice cake skewers to soondae this is a food lovers paradise.
6. bb.q Chicken: One of the pioneers of mukbang, Banzz was actually one of the very first mukbangers in the community, so it comes as no surprise that he would have tried all sorts of foods. On top of that, everyone knows just how good fried chicken is in Korea, so put the two together, and you can see Banzz munching away on some crispy and juicy fried chicken from bb.q. The original olive chicken is so delicious. This Korean franchise is quickly expanding all over the United States, and in other countries, so technically, you don't have to visit Korea to try this delicious chicken.
7. Myungrang Hotdog: Maybe it's the joy on her face, but Nado really makes you want to eat everything. From hotdogs to tteokbokki and even fried chicken, she makes everything look delicious. Everyone also knows just how tasty Korean hot dogs are, and the best place to get them is from Myungryang Hotdog.
