So I missed it last year as I'd only been here a couple months. This time I can't let that happen. That's why I'm trying to find it now, so I can reserve myself.
In the collective opinion of ya'll where is the best Thanksgiving dinner in Seoul? I want all the fixins this year for sure. Or at least whatever we can find. I seem to remember the Hamilton having something. How is it? Any place else?

I bought a turkey for Canadian Thanksgiving at Haddon market close to the UN village. Cost 60,000. but you can get boneless ones for 25,000. The full bird fed 10 people. I think the boneless can feed 4-5.

Let me know if you need details.

Where is this UN Village and Haddon Market?

I saw that they are selling turkeys at Youndeungpo (sp?) Costco for around 60,000 or so.

The next thing you have to think about is finding a place to cook it.

Any place in Seoul having the big buffet on Saturday, instead of Thursday? It's not a 4 day weekend in Korea unless you're associated with the American military. I went last year to Busan Seamans club on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and it was fairly good.

Home, my wife and I always make a scrumptious baked meat and cheese lasagna Christmas eve and pig out the whole next day. Screw paying 300,000 to eat at some K-hotel. I didn't come here to put money in the pockets of Koreans.

Haddon House Supermarket is different from Hannam Supermarket. Haddon House is nearby Oksu station (up the hill), but probably easier to find if you go to Hannam-dong, walk up the twisty road past the embassies and the UN Village, and when the road starts going downhill again you'll find it in the basement of a building of shops on your right (look for the sign). Haddon is bigger and the selection is better.

I just made reservations. Starts at 6, and is 35,000원 per person. Not sure about the menu, but I'ma give it a try regardless. Not too much, and a bunch of good recomendations.

A couple of years ago I had US Thanksgiving dinner on the Military Base in Seoul. It was through Onnuri English Ministry Church, though you don't have to be a member to do it. Anyone know if that still exists? If it does, it's a great deal, 25,000-ish for an awesome buffet.
