Overall Thoughts
You know it's a marathon, not a sprint, to fully enjoy a theme park all day long, right?! We decided to fuel up with a hearty meal before diving headfirst into all the rides.
📍 A Hidden Gem: How to Find Bodol Miyeok
If it's your first time visiting, finding this spot can feel a bit tricky and overwhelming.
I remember wandering around for a while on my first visit, wondering if I was even in the right place!
So, to save you the trouble, here's a quick guide!
If you're looking for a Korean restaurant, your first step is to find the "Merchants' Street" (저자거리) on the 3rd floor.
It's located within the Folk Museum.
If you see the Folk Museum entrance and an elevator along the way, you're absolutely on the right track! ✨
You'll likely see a staff member standing near the Folk Museum entrance. Just tell them, "I'm here to use the restaurant inside~" and they'll give you a small paper slip.
This is crucial: after your meal, you'll need to get that slip stamped by the restaurant you visited.
This stamp is essential for re-entering Lotte World, so don't forget it!
(It's because this area connects to Lotte World Mall‼️)
🎏 A Quiet and Relaxing Dining Experience
Lotte World can be bustling and noisy everywhere you go, but the "Merchants' Street" food court inside the park offers a surprisingly calm and quiet atmosphere compared to other areas.
I used to love lively, crowded places, but ever since I hit my 30s, I find them a bit overwhelming!
This area felt wonderfully disconnected from the park's hustle and bustle, allowing us to sit comfortably and focus on our meal without any distractions!
It’s the perfect spot for anyone looking to quietly recharge their energy before or after a fun-filled day of rides!
🌈 Tophy's Hearty Menu Choices
The day we visited was actually my birthday, and since I'm such a big fan of Korean food, choosing 'Bodol Miyeok' for their delicious seaweed soup was an easy decision!
Bodol Miyeok Lotte World Seokchon Branch Menu
Cockle Bibimbap Set ~$12
Grilled Marinated Beef Set ~$12
Fried Flatfish ~$4
We each ordered a set meal, and feeling like we needed a little something extra, we added the fried flatfish (for a protein boost, of course!).
Appetizing Cockle Bibimbap:
This dish comes piled high with plump, fresh cockles and fragrant chives – they really don't skimp on the ingredients! 💚
Mixing a bowl of rice with the fresh cockles and savory sauce made for an absolutely delicious meal!
Sweet & Savory Grilled Marinated Beef: A True Plate Pleaser!
For a single-person set meal, the portion was quite decent for me, but it might be a bit small if two people plan to share…
Still, the beef was perfectly marinated with a delightful sweet and savory sauce, and a piece of that tender meat over white rice? Simply irresistible!
The Highlight of 'Bodol Miyeok': Their Signature Seaweed Soup:
If you order a set meal, the seaweed soup is included. Just look at that creamy, rich broth – you can tell how flavorful it is, right?
It was packed with seaweed, making it a truly satisfying and hearty addition to our meal.
Perfectly Crispy Fried Flatfish:
This was the fried flatfish we added, just in case we needed a little something extra!
With its perfectly crispy skin and tender, flaky white fish inside, it was definitely a worthwhile addition to our order.
💘 Highly Recommended For:
I'm a firm believer that a meal isn't complete without rice, so while snacks like burgers or churros are fun, there's nothing quite like the "power of a good meal" for Koreans!
After fueling up with delicious Korean dishes, I felt energized and ready to enjoy Lotte World without getting tired.
If you're looking for a quiet place to dine inside Lotte World, or specifically craving authentic Korean food like we were, then this spot comes highly recommended! 🫶🏻
