Seoul’s Fall Outdoor Dining Scene Heats Up

As temperatures drop, Seoul's iconic street tents and outdoor drinking spots—called 'yajang'—become social hubs across the city. These casual outdoor eateries serve Korean comfort food like tteokbokki, fish cake soup, and grilled Spam alongside soju, creating lively gatherings well into the night. Fall's crisp weather makes this season peak time for locals and visitors to experience this uniquely Seoul tradition.
