Korean Dishes Locals Love (But You Might’ve Never Heard Of)

Think you already know Korean food?

If kimchi, kimbap, and tteokbokki are the only dishes that come to mind, you’re just scratching the surface! To Koreans, their culinary world goes far beyond that — rich, diverse, and deeply comforting.

Let Delivery K take you on a quick, mouthwatering journey through dishes that Koreans actually crave.

1. 유부초밥 (Yubuchobap) – Fried Tofu Rice Pockets

Crispy on the outside, tangy and chewy on the inside — Yubuchobap is Korea’s answer to a quick but satisfying bite. Each golden tofu pocket is stuffed with lightly seasoned rice, sesame seeds, and toppings like tuna mayo or bulgogi. Simple yet addictively delicious!

💡 Delivery K’s recommendations:

• Oni Sushi

2. 보쌈 (Bossam) – Slow-Boiled Pork Wraps

Meet Korea’s ultimate comfort food! Thick slices of tender pork belly are slow-cooked with herbs, then wrapped with crisp lettuce, kimchi, and spicy ssamjang paste. Add a bite of cold naengmyeon noodles on the side and you’ve got a match made in foodie heaven.

💡 Delivery K’s recommendations:

• Seocho Bossam

• Jok Sin

3. 감자탕 (Gamjatang) – Spicy Pork Bone Soup

Cold, rainy day? This is your cure. Gamjatang is a bold, hearty stew made with pork bones simmered for hours until the meat practically falls off. Potatoes soak up the spicy broth, making every spoonful rich, deep, and comforting.

💡 Delivery K’s recommendations:

• Hansari Gamjatang

• Seongsu Gamjatang

4. 쭈꾸미볶음 (Jjukkumi Bokkeum) – Spicy Stir-Fried Baby Octopus

Tender baby octopus is stir-fried in sizzling gochujang sauce, creating that irresistible mix of smoky, spicy, and slightly sweet flavors. Koreans love to mix it with rice or noodles — each bite is chewy, bold, and packed with umami.

💡 Delivery K’s recommendations:

• Hong Ga Ne

• DON COOK (Trung Hòa)

5. 콩국수 (Kongguksu) – Cold Soy Milk Noodles

Light, creamy, and utterly refreshing, Kongguksu is the dish Koreans wait all year for.
Silky noodles bathe in chilled soy milk broth that’s rich but not heavy, perfect for hot summer days. It’s a beautiful balance of nutty and cool — healthy comfort food at its best.

💡 Delivery K’s recommendations:
