Seoul House has served Korean food in Budapest since 1990, today at Fő utca 8, and it calls itself the first Korean restaurant in Budapest. More than three decades on, Korean food in Budapest is a small but real scene, and the trick is knowing which place answers which craving.
Grill pork belly at your own table on the Buda side, share a platter of fried chicken over soju in the Jewish Quarter, grab tteokbokki from a market-hall counter, or order a bap burger or curry tteokbokki on Ráday utca. Most of these kitchens sit in Districts VII, VIII and IX, a short tram ride apart; Seoul House is the one worth crossing the river for. One caveat: only Koryo and K-Bunsik publish hours on their own sites. For the rest, the hours below come from Wolt delivery listings or are not published, so check before you go.

Prices on this page are in HUF. Where a figure comes from a venue’s Wolt delivery menu, we say so: delivery prices can differ from what you pay in the dining room.
1. Seoul House: Korean BBQ in Budapest
What it is: The veteran. Seoul House calls itself the first Korean restaurant in Budapest, serving Korean food in Budapest since 1990 with the same chef since 1990, today on Fő utca in Víziváros, the Buda riverside quarter below the Castle.
Why go: It is the Korean BBQ pick. You grill the meat yourself at the center of your table, and the restaurant says the grills are smoke-free. The menu has a full section of Korean BBQ meats, nine of them, plus dishes for those who would rather not cook: Samgyeopsal Bulgogi at 8,900 HUF, Yukhoe Bibimbap at 8,900 HUF, Tteokbokki at 7,900 HUF and Mul Naengmyeon, the cold noodle soup, at 8,900 HUF. For two, there is a Fondue Bulgogi with melted mozzarella at 12,890 HUF. Mains and soups that are not noodle dishes come with a free bowl of rice. The weakness: it is the priciest place on this list, and the website gives no opening hours.
Tip: Book. The restaurant takes online reservations, and a grill table is the whole point of coming here.
The facts:
- Fő utca 8, 1011 Budapest, District I.
- Booking: seoulhouse.hu/foglalas or +36 1 201 7452.
- Hours: not published on the restaurant’s own site; check by phone or on the booking page before you go.

2. KPUB: Fried Chicken and Soju
What it is: A Korean pub on Dohány utca, the street of the Great Synagogue. In its own words: “Korean fried chicken, BBQ, soju, or just a fun night with friends”.
Why go: This is the place for a round of chicken and a bottle of soju with friends. Its Wolt delivery menu lists fried, yangnyeom (sweet and spicy) and ganjang (soy garlic) chicken at 4,999 HUF each, a three-way chicken platter at 11,999 HUF and bulgogi bibimbap at 3,999 HUF. It is a pub first, so come for a night out rather than a quiet dinner. It sits right on a Jewish Quarter walk, so it works as the last stop.
Tip: Book by phone or Instagram message.
The facts:
- Dohány utca 28, 1074 Budapest, District VII.
- Phone: +36 1 790 3256.
- Its Wolt listing runs Tuesday to Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, 12:00 to 22:30, closed Monday.
- Wolt lists no Friday hours, so call to check before a Friday visit.

3. Koryo Bistro: Quick Bibimbap and Kimbap
What it is: A newcomer on Mester utca in Ferencváros: a street-food bistro built around Korean fried chicken, kimbap and bibimbap, with a few Mongolian dishes such as tsuivan on the side.
Why go: Price and range. Its own menu lists Classic Kimbap (10 pieces) at 2,990 HUF, Classic Chicken at 3,590 HUF, Honey Garlic Chicken at 3,790 HUF, Bibimbap at 4,990 HUF, Samgyeopsal at 4,990 HUF, Kimchi Jjigae with jasmine rice at 4,090 HUF, Rabokki for two at 5,990 HUF and Mandu (4 pieces) at 1,990 HUF. The chicken comes in four sauces. It is a bistro, not a destination dining room, and it is a short ride from the center.
The facts:
- Mester utca 46, 1095 Budapest, District IX.
- Open daily 11:00 to 21:00; takeaway until 20:45.
- Table booking, takeaway and delivery on koryobistro.hu.

4. Gim-Tteok: Market-Stall Snacks at Rákóczi tér
What it is: A Korean street-food counter inside the Rákóczi tér market hall, the working neighborhood market of District VIII, selling tteokbokki (chewy rice cakes in sauce), gimbap and fried tempura.
Why go: It is the cheapest Korean meal on this list, eaten in a working neighborhood market. Its Wolt delivery menu lists Original or Rosé Tteokbokki at 2,500 HUF, Mala Rosé Tteokbokki at 2,800 HUF, Original Gimbap at 2,500 HUF, Bibimbap at 3,200 HUF, a tempura mix at 1,600 HUF and a Gim-Tteok set at 4,900 HUF. It is a counter, so expect a quick bite rather than a sit-down meal. Our guide to Budapest’s markets has more on the hall itself.
Tip: Its Wolt hours end in the afternoon, so come for lunch.
The facts:
- Rákóczi tér market hall, Rákóczi tér 7, 1084 Budapest, District VIII.
- Walk-in only; takeaway, and delivery through Wolt.
- Its Wolt listing runs Monday and Tuesday 11:30 to 15:30, Thursday and Saturday 11:30 to 16:30, with no Wolt hours on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

5. K-Bunsik: Korean Snack Bar on Ráday utca
What it is: A bunsik bar on Ráday utca. Bunsik is Korea’s cheap, fast snack food, and the bar’s own site explains the idea.
Why go: It is open long hours every day and the menu is pure comfort food. Its Wolt delivery menu lists K-Yangnyeom boneless chicken (all thigh) at 5,390 HUF, K-Fried Chicken at 5,170 HUF, Curry Tteokbokki at 4,480 HUF, Bibimbap at 4,500 HUF, Tuna Kimbap at 4,400 HUF and a rice burger (bap burger) at 3,600 HUF. Ráday utca is a restaurant street, so it is easy to pair with a drink nearby. It is a snack bar, though: quick plates, not a long dinner.
The facts:
- Ráday utca 7, 1092 Budapest, District IX.
- Open daily 10:00 to 22:00.
- Booking: “Reserve online” on k-bunsik.eatbu.com, or phone +36 30 698 5844.

What it is: A full Korean menu on the Nagykörút, the Grand Boulevard, and the latest Wolt orders on this list.
Why go: Its Wolt listing takes orders until 00:30 on most nights, later than anywhere else on this list.

Which Korean Restaurant in Budapest Should You Pick?
- A dinner to remember: Seoul House, booked ahead, for the grill.
- A night out: KPUB for chicken and soju, then the bars of the Jewish Quarter around it.
- Lunch on a budget: Koryo Bistro, or Gim-Tteok if you are at the market anyway.
- A late meal: Bibimbap Korean Restaurant on the Nagykörút, whose Wolt listing takes orders until 00:30 on most nights; call to confirm the dining room hours.
- Something sweet: Korean bingsu, shaved ice piled with toppings, at 2D Beloved Café, the comic-book café.
The Verdict
The restaurant that has served Korean food in Budapest since 1990, today on Fő utca, is still the one to book for Korean BBQ, and the rest of the scene has grown up around it in a more casual key: chicken and soju in District VII, snack bars in District IX, a stall in a market hall. Book the grill at Seoul House for one night, and eat your way through the cheaper counters on the others.
