Field notes
Each restaurant entry pairs a cuisine or meal type with its percentile among places across Korea, while neighborhood sections identify the local leader. The site says its ranking uses BC Card payment data published through eat.pl, excludes big chains, and reflects the previous month's spending; linked eat.pl pages provide maps, opening hours, and busy times. Coverage shown here spans eight Seoul areas and separate dish-based lists.
