If I should pick the most famous restaurant, I will choose Samcheongdong Sujebi. You can see people every day waiting in line outside the restaurant dur-ing lunchtime. Apart from Sujebi, you can also try potato pancakes, green onion pancakes, and mung bean pancakes. It could be expensive (considering it is hand-pulled dough soup they sell), but it is still worth trying this big dish. It is highly recommended to eat the dough dumplings with kimchi or young summer radish kimchi because it will taste even better.

It is the first palace built by King Taejo in 1395 during the Joseon Dynasty. It was used mostly during the early and late Joseon Dynasty, often called Bukgwol (or North Palace). Many parts of the palace were de-stroyed due to great fires and Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592. It was left unused for more than 200 years until it was restored under the reign of King Go-jong during the late Joseon Dynasty. In 2010, some parts of the palace were restored and opened to the public. It is possible to see the king’s office and the royal family’s living space. It was designated as Histor-ic Site No. 117.
