COEX Food Court — B1

Inside Starfield COEX Mall, basement level

Large Korean food court with bibimbap, kimbap, noodles, and more. Kiosk ordering. Fast, affordable (8,000–12,000 KRW). Busy at lunch during conference days — go before 12 or after 1:30.

Fast Affordable In-venue

Bongeunsa-ro Restaurant Strip

5 min walk from Bongeunsa Station Exit 7

A street with many Korean restaurants ranging from BBQ to soup to noodles. Quieter than the mall and more local. Walk and pick what looks busy — that's usually the sign of a good place.

Local Variety

GS25 / CU / 7-Eleven (in-building)

Multiple locations inside COEX

Korean convenience store food is genuinely good — triangle kimbap, onigiri, instant ramen, sandwiches, hot food. Fast and cheap (2,000–5,000 KRW). Good option between sessions.

Budget 24/7
