Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about CHEF

Near Chef Show (formerly Bibimbap Show) in Seoul, Shilla Seoul Hotel is a top recommendation, located just a 10-minute walk away. The hotel offers luxurious rooms with views of traditional Korean gardens and features dedicated concierge services to assist guests visiting the live cooking show.

Another excellent option is Lotte Hotel Myeongdong, which provides convenient access to subway lines and boasts several authentic Korean restaurants on-site, allowing visitors to enjoy genuine local cuisine immediately after the performance. Both hotels offer complimentary shuttle services to major tourist attractions, significantly enhancing travel convenience.

HopeGoo in advance is strongly advised—especially during weekends or holidays—to secure preferred room types and prime locations.

From Seoul Station, take Line 2 Subway to Euljiro Entrance Station, then transfer to Line 4 Subway and ride to Myeongdong Station—a journey of about 25 minutes. Exit at Exit 8, which is closest to the Chef Show venue, just a 5-minute walk away.

For a more direct option, a taxi takes around 15 minutes and costs approximately KRW 30,000, ideal for travelers with luggage or groups. Use T-money card or mobile payment apps like KakaoPay for seamless transit and potential discounts.

Most subway stations feature English signage and audio announcements, ensuring smooth navigation for international visitors.

Beyond watching the thrilling Chef Show, the surrounding areas of Myeongdong and Dongdaemun are culinary hotspots. Try stone-bowl bibimbap made fresh on-site—customize your own mix of ingredients and sauces for a hands-on cultural experience, embodying the concept of "every meal is an art."

Don’t miss street food delights such as fried chicken, Korean skewers, and spicy tteokbokki, all widely available along bustling alleys. For a refined touch, visit a traditional Korean teahouse offering matcha and sesame candy, accompanied by live folk music for an immersive cultural moment.

Many restaurants provide bilingual guides explaining the history and symbolism behind each dish, enriching the dining experience. Visit in the evening to enjoy vibrant night markets and stunning city lights while catching the final highlights of the show.

The Chef Show runs two daily performances: 6:30 PM and 8:30 PM, each lasting approximately 90 minutes. Ticket prices vary by seating category:

  • Standard Seat: ₩78,000 (includes drink)
  • VIP Seat: ₩120,000 (front-row view + gift set)
  • Family Package (2 adults + 1 child): ₩220,000 (discounted rate + children’s gift)

Tickets can be booked in advance via the official website or platforms like HopeGoo and HopeGoo. It’s highly recommended to reserve at least three days ahead, especially during holidays when tickets sell out quickly. On-site ticket sales may be unavailable, and credit cards are not accepted.

The show features traditional Korean ingredient introductions, interactive cooking demonstrations, and a live tasting segment, making it suitable for all ages. Guests must present either a digital ticket or printed voucher—arrive at least 30 minutes prior to ensure optimal seating and viewing angle.

Fairmont Ambassador Seoul

The hotel is immaculate and beautifully designed, with an unbeatable location just steps away from LFC. What truly stood out was the front desk staff member who happened to be from Hong Kong—when they noticed we didn’t speak Korean, they went above and beyond to assist with check-in, patiently guiding us through the process. It’s rare to feel such genuine care while traveling far from home. I really wanted to thank them in person, but unfortunately didn’t get a chance to see them again. Finding a familiar face in a foreign city made all the difference—it felt like a small but meaningful connection. A heartfelt thanks to that kind soul for making our stay so much more personal and welcoming.

Hotel Gracery Seoul

The Hotel Gracery Seoul offers an exceptional experience with its serene atmosphere and unbeatable convenience for dining, shopping, and transportation. My room was spacious and luxurious—definitely the first time I stayed in a hotel in Korea with a bathtub, which made my stay truly relaxing. The only minor note is that I had to request a power adapter from front desk, but staff were friendly and helpful. Everything else about the hotel—from the clean design to the thoughtful amenities—earned a solid 10/10. A top choice for any traveler visiting Seoul.

Ddp Stn Avenue

The hotel is excellent overall—great location, super convenient for getting around Seoul, and the staff are very friendly. My only confusion was that I booked a two-night stay, but I had to check out on the second day and couldn’t recheck in until after 6 PM. That timing restriction felt a bit odd and wasn’t clearly explained upfront. Still, the team handled it well, and even though I had to move my luggage, it didn’t ruin the experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and the value for money was strong. Definitely would stay here again.

Nouvelle Seoul Hotel Itaewon by Aank

Staying at Nouvelle Seoul Hotel Itaewon was a fantastic experience. The hotel is perfectly located in the middle of Seoul's vibrant nightlife, yet the rooms are well-insulated, making it easy to relax and sleep soundly despite the lively surroundings. The rooms themselves are spacious with large TVs that make for great entertainment. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and spoke fluent English, which made check-in and any inquiries super smooth. I appreciated the 24-hour check-in option—very convenient for late arrivals. Plus, everything you need is within walking distance: restaurants, cafes, shopping, and the metro station. This place truly offers the best of both worlds—urban energy and peaceful comfort. Highly recommend for travelers who want convenience without compromise.

Hertz Hotel

The location of Hertz Hotel in Jongno was absolutely perfect! I arrived earlier than check-in time, but they kindly offered free luggage storage—so convenient. There were tons of restaurants, small shops, and cozy cafes nearby, making it easy to pass the time without any stress. The room itself was spotlessly clean, and having a bathtub was definitely one of the main reasons I chose this hotel—it made for a relaxing soak after a long day. Bathroom amenities included shampoo, conditioner, and a bathrobe, though I did need to bring my own toothbrush. For multi-night stays, water bottles were conveniently restocked. One standout feature was the sliding mirror that doubles as a blackout panel—just slide it across the window, and you’ve got complete darkness, ideal for sleeping in late. I was also pleasantly surprised to find a straightening iron available in the room—such a thoughtful touch. I’d definitely stay here again. Excellent value and a truly comfortable experience.

Glocaloca

We stayed here as a family of three adults, including first-time visitors to Korea, and the experience was absolutely fantastic. What stood out most was the in-room laundry facilities—detergents were freely available, and I brought my own small packet of fabric softener from Japan, which worked perfectly. A large tote bag is highly recommended for moving laundry between rooms. The bathroom amenities were exceptional: the shampoo and conditioner had a luxurious scent and texture, leaving a subtle, pleasant fragrance throughout the room after showering. It’s rare to find a full set of toothbrushes included in a Korean hotel, and the lightweight hairdryer delivered strong airflow without strain. In the dining area, they offer four levels of spicy ramen—while I haven’t tried level 3, level 2 was similar to a moderately spicy kimchi ramen, not too overwhelming. Everything you’d expect at home, like plastic wrap, aluminum foil, and containers, was readily available. Even our homemade kimchi from a local market didn’t come with packaging—we were able to wrap it up neatly with the provided wrap and take it back easily. The staff were incredibly friendly, with several speaking Japanese, which made us feel safe and welcome. We especially enjoyed meeting Star-chan, who’s originally from Iran—such a memorable encounter! Thanks again, see you soon! One minor downside: the coffee machine was a bit sweet, and there was no option to adjust sugar levels—so every latte came out overly sugary. The chocolate drink also wasn’t to my taste. Also, the power outlets were tricky—my C-type adapter (bought from a 100-yen store) would plug in but kept falling out, making it unusable. Even though another universal adapter worked, it wobbled and sometimes fell over, causing power loss. And unfortunately, the silk-pressed straightening iron showed an error message and wouldn’t turn on. But overall? This place felt more like home than a hotel. Late-night ramen or toast lovers were cooking quietly nearby, yet we heard absolutely nothing—perfectly peaceful. It totally redefined what a hotel stay could be. We’re already planning to return next time we visit Korea!

Moxy Seoul Insadong

My daughter came to Seoul for a ZB1 concert, and we chose this hotel—perfectly located right next to the subway station, making travel super convenient. I absolutely loved the ground-floor and rooftop check-in areas; they have such a cool, modern vibe, and the complimentary welcome drink was a nice touch. The room was spotless, with a well-designed wet/dry separation that made everything so practical. Security is also top-notch—after 6 PM, only guests can access the lobby, which gives peace of mind, especially for solo female travelers. And the neighborhood? Absolutely packed with great dining options. Street food stalls start setting up around 4 PM and stay open until 2 AM, buzzing with young locals and full of authentic Seoul energy. It’s lively, fun, and full of character. I’d definitely come back here on any future trip to Seoul.

Starhills Hotel

I stayed for three consecutive nights, and on the first evening I noticed the air conditioning wasn’t cooling effectively. I immediately mentioned it to the front desk, and within minutes, a fan was brought up to my room—super prompt service! The staff were incredibly attentive and resolved the issue right away. For the next two nights, the room temperature was perfect, and I didn’t have to worry again. What stood out most was how quickly and efficiently the team responded—no delays, no excuses. Their proactive approach made a big difference in my overall experience. The hotel’s location is also very convenient, just a short subway ride from major attractions. Excellent value for money and top-notch hospitality. I’ll definitely be back!
