Free Wifi in Seoul


Free wifi here usually means you have free access to the hotspot, some of the more popular ones are Olleh, U+zone, and T-wifi. To login in to these hotspots you either need to have purchased a code, as is the case with Olleh, or you need to have a valid korean cell phone number and alien registration number to access the free wifi. A tourist has limited options. 

Places with truly free wifi:

Seoul City Center- if you find yourself walking through Seoul’s more central areas then chances are you can connect to their city wifi. But the signal is often weak and not as stable as others. Some subway stations also have this service. 

***iptime and anygate usually don't require pw.

Cafes or Restaurants:

Dunkin Donuts-
Nokbeon
Eungam
Jong-ro 3-ga
in Yeonsinnae Station
Bulgwang
Sinchon

Angel in Us- most have their own wifi passwords on the receipts
Bulgwang Station (next to Dunkin Donuts)
Jong-ro
Sinchon

***Best bet for us has always been Angel - in - Us cafe. They always have their own free wifi and are open 24 hrs, best location to stay in all night with a laptop or for studying.

KIMBAP HEAVEN : Cheap Korean Food

Cheapest Food in Seoul: Kimbap Heaven (김밥 천국)

Meals start at 1,000 won (the simplest kimbap roll) and don't exceed 6,000 won. 

Jacky has tried a bunch of things and they have all been good. Here she ordered the Tonkassu and I got   kimchi kimbap. 

The food is filling and comes with sides and a soup (most of the time).

Good Eats: 신기소 , Sinkiso Japanese Noodle Restaurant

We weren't looking for anything in particular that day but we were lucky enough to have run into this Japanese chain restaurant!

Meals start at around 5,000 won and are a decent size, the service was also very good.

We really liked the presentation of the food, this definitely made it more appealing ^__^

All in all, if you run into a Sinkiso I would give it a try~

We got the Udong and the Tonkatsu dishes.

CLOSED: Oikos Restaurant in Bulgwang-do, Seoul

Christmas time is here!!! Ashley and I, we are FINALLY back in Korea! On this lovely but very cold Saturday we decided to hit up a really cute restaurant- Oikos: Pizza and Pasta
This place is very near Dokbawi station on brown line 6. Once you exit, (only 1 exit) turn left and continue walking down that main road for about 10 minutes and it will be on your left side. It is sort of hidden.

This place is so precious...the pictures don't do it justice. It is kind of a small place but big enough to sit about 22-25 people.
