It's been a month now and I'm slowly starting to lose my appetite and my mind due to my ineptness of finding decent American food. I tried googling and searching but haven't had great luck yet. KFC, Kraze Buger, Lotteria, Mr. Pizza, etc have all been very disappointing T_T The only place I have yet to go is Vatos Urban Tacos in Itaewon, and that's it. People who are in South Korea right now please recommend me some food places! Much thanks!   | ||

Also might just be personal preferences, but I love Popeyes in Korea (they don't have it in Australia). The fries are just amazing. | ||

If you want hamburgers : Yaletown in Sinchon or Smokey Salloon (various branches) are good bets. If you want pizza : you can just try a papa johns rather than Pizza hut/Mr.Pizza etc (which are catered to very korean tastes) I know a whole bunch of good places to eat but give me some information :p Choi's Tacos in Shinchon is one of my favourite mexican places, and Crow's nest in Itaewon do pretty good pizzas (and pretty big too) If you're more interested in the korean food side of things I can help you out there | ||

The Canadians I work with like to go to Quiznos pretty regularly. I've had good american burgers in hongdae, itaewon and at yaletown in sinchon. Hard to find good non-korean/pseudo italian pizzas, best best is to search around Itaewon. Indian and Japanese are probably the best non-korean foods you can get easily in Korea outside of Itaewon. The Italian is generally pretty shit and the standard Chinese doesn't even remotely resemble Chinese food, basically jajangmyun and fried pork drowned in sauce. | ||

There's some decent Subways, more expensive for less food. | ||

I mean Korean food is great, but it's not something i can handle daily after living in the states for 15+ years. GTR - WIll try Yaletown!! Thanks!!! I haven't had popeyes yet, but was disappointed with KFC so hope it's better! Chaggi - That actually sounds so great! Been dying for some cornbread.... Seeker - Thanks but no thanks Already tried it and >.<.... Idk but the burger meat here is worse than the burger meat back in the US... even if that's possible. don_kyuhote - Nice name xDDD Looking specifically for american food suggesitons but thanks! ShloobeR - Pretty much anything really! Been really craving for some good burgers and mexican food specifically, but I"m sure after I satisfy those cravings, it'll be pizzas and some good sandwiches. Would you say Choi's is better than Vatos? Also what would you recommend from Choi's? Also I'd love more suggestions! Really appreciate it!! Scarecrow - I saw a quiznos near yeondae university but was in a cab and couldn't stop by it >.<... Also I kind of solved my italian cravings with Mad for Garlic hahahahahha. It's definitely not italian but their pasta aren't half bad! Also I realized jajangmyun is something that's so great when you're eating it but you regret after... | ||

It's got a German flag on the front, you can order dark Köstritzer and other German and international beer brands there, and they have among other things a surprisingly delicious sausage meal (for 1 or 2 people): Various kinds of bratwurst- / weisswurst-style sausages chopped into pieces come piled up on a black iron pan with creamy mashed potatos on top under a metal lid. When served, the waitress takes off the lid, pours the slightly spicy, sizzling hot brown gravy on top of it and puts the lid back on to let it steam out and settle, after which it can be eaten with a fork or chopsticks. Really good. + Show Spoiler [took a picture of it] + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/BaYNv.jpg) | ||

Legal drinking age in Korea is 19 (Korean age, add 1-2 years to your own). Then again you don't have to order alcohol there. If you just want to eat there, I should think it is no problem? | ||

Maybe I should just man up and go alone. | ||

The original one is in the French area of Seoul but this one is easier to find.

 if you like Papa Johns though, I dunno why you can't just go to Pizza Hut? The weirdly sweet sauce of Papa Johns is the only thing I really find particularly notable about it in the states...
