What to eat after your exam? Staff picks for authentic Gangnam Station restaurants

Hello from Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic😊💙

Today, we've brought you a lunch restaurant content for those who have visited or will visit Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic!

Are you hungry after finishing your exam or surgery consultation?🙋‍♀️

Are you looking for follow-up food after surgery?🙋‍♂️

Are you tired of the countless advertisements that pop up when you search for 'Gangnam Station restaurants'?

Are you exhausted by restaurants with basic waiting times of over an hour?

Gangnam Station, a culinary wasteland,

presents the Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic staff's

authentic restaurant picks

!

First, we introduce our most cherished ramen spot!

This Gangnam Station restaurant has been selected by the Michelin Guide for 8 consecutive years.

The menu only has two chicken-based options: Toripaitan and Karapaitan!

You can simply think of them as spicy and non-spicy.

Noodles, broth, and rice are refillable for free,

so even big eaters can eat their fill – a definite advantage!

The broth is exquisite, making it perfect for a hangover cure...🤫

Next up is a place a little closer to Sinnonhyeon Station.

Are there any Korean food lovers out there~?

It's famous as a meat restaurant,

but the meal menu's Kimchi Bulgogi

(which is Kimchi Jjageuli) is also outstanding!

As it's a jjageuli sold at a meat restaurant,

the amount of meat in it is incredible.

The rich, tangy broth is also superb!👍

Are you someone who came alone and wants a quick, light meal?

But also someone who doesn't want to compromise on taste?

This is the place!

With healthy breads like slab, baguette, and focaccia,

it's also perfect for those on a diet!

Personally, my pick is the Jambon Apricot Fromage dessert sandwich...!🥺

Are you someone with an 'old-school' palate~?

Do you like old, traditional restaurants~?

Let me introduce you to a cherished restaurant!

This place is great for a drink in the evening,

but it's also a popular spot for lunch.

If you want a hearty Korean meal,

we recommend Daeun Sikdang!

Be careful, as it might tempt you to have a drink with lunch,

so those who have recently had surgery should be cautious.🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️

Are there any noodle lovers out there?

I'm someone who can't live without flour!

Chewy, handmade noodles with a deep broth flavor...🤤

If you're craving Chinese food, but not the usual stuff!

We highly recommend it when you want something special.

Don't forget to add handmade dim sum or cream shrimp as sides...✨

Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic personally ensures our patients have an amazing meal.

💙 Smile surgery is, of course, at Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic 💙
