Where Koreans actually eat in Seoul

In Korea, Google Maps reviews come mostly from visitors; Naver, Kakao Map and DiningCode reviews come mostly from Koreans. So the ratio between them shows who actually walks in. No single platform can see this — Naver does not know a restaurant's Google count, and Google does not know its Naver count. It only appears once you hold all of them side by side.

This page starts with the restaurants whose review volume is most lopsidedly Korean. The other side is here.

We show the counts and let you read them. We do not label a restaurant "local" or "touristy" — that would be our verdict, and we do not add verdicts of our own. 368 of 440 listings have enough matched review data on both sides to appear here; the rest are left out rather than guessed.
