Food in South Korea particularly in Seoul can be expensive if you do not know where to eat. An average meal in an inexpensive restaurant would cost around 5 USD, while meal for 2 in a mid-range restaurant will cost you an average of 35 USD.
IF you want to save money on food, cheaper alternatives can be found in supermarkets and convenient stores. You can buy instant noodles, and other microwavable food. But for me, I prefer street foods. With street foods, you get to taste something that is Korean, yet you do not spend that much.
Street food stalls are ubiquitous in Korea. Some are permanent, while some can only be found at night. One of the famous places in Korea for street food is Myeondong. It is one of Seoul's main shopping districts and popular area for young people and tourists.
