Korean Restaurants in Prague

Seoul-style dining isn’t hard to find in Prague if you know where to look, and there’s more than just the usual kimchi and bibimbap. You’ll find a few places scattered across the city, but my favorite ones tend to be in Vinohrady or near Anděl.

Places like Arirang have been around forever and still serve some of the best spicy galbi jjim you can get here. And if you’re after something less touristy, check out Hanilkwan by Národní třída. Their homemade jeon (Korean pancakes) and fresh soju selection make for a solid night out.

Heads up, though: Korean food in Prague can swing between super authentic and somewhat ‘Czech-ed’ versions, so don’t be afraid to ask for them to dial up the spice or go traditional. Also, many spots get busy during dinner, especially on weekends, so a reservation helps. If you want a change from typical Prague dining, Korean restaurants offer something a bit different without having to leave the city. Oh, and March and April are great times to visit, when the ingredients are fresh and some places even do seasonal menus.

Quick tips if you’re craving Korean food

If you’re staying near Anděl or Vinohrady, do yourself a favor and swing by Arirang for dinner. The galbi jjim is off the charts and the staff know their stuff, so don’t hesitate to ask for recommendations. Also, many Korean spots here tend to be small and cozy, so going early can save you the wait. If you’re curious about drinks, try their selection of Korean soju or makgeolli , they’re a nice change from your usual Czech beer. Lastly, keep your eyes peeled for special menus during spring; a few places switch up their dishes seasonally and that’s when you taste the chef’s creativity best.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about Korean food in Prague? Here’s what you might want to know.

Some places stick pretty close to authentic recipes, especially in neighborhoods like Vinohrady, but others tone down the spice or ingredients to suit local palates. If you prefer genuine heat and flavor, ask if they can make it spicier or look for spots popular with Korean expats.

If you’re going on a weekend evening, it’s a good idea, especially at well-known places like Arirang. Otherwise, many spots can seat you without a reservation during weekdays or early dinners.

There’s not a ton of Korean BBQ spots yet, but you can try places like Hanilkwan where they offer grill-your-own options. Be sure to get there early because the tables with grills fill up fast.

Yeah, small Korean or Asian grocery shops around Žižkov and near the city center carry basics like gochujang, kimchi, and rice cakes. Madam Lee in Korunní street is a favorite among locals for fresh stuff.

Korean cuisine is quite meat-focused, but many places now have vegan-friendly dishes like bibimbap without egg or meat, and some veggie-friendly jeon. It’s best to call ahead or check menus online.
