"Only if you're craving western food" Itaewon Tip by pranayama

Itaewon, Seoul: 14 reviews and 19 photos

The shopkeepers may speak some English, but the items are over-priced. Not worth the subway ticket. The atmosphere seems forced and disengenous, as though the whole place was designed solely for foreigners.

Unique Suggestions: I understand that the western restaurants here aren't bad, but I didn't have the opportunity to try them out. I went in the morning when it was dead, but I hear nightlife here can get interesting.

Fun Alternatives: I think Insadong has much more of a traditional shopping atmosphere, although it's not much cheaper. And if you're looking for a real bargain, Dongdaemoon or Migliore may be a better bet.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
