I was just wondering, if I were to end up with a 3 to 9-ish shift, would I be able to catch dinner out afterward?

I'm aiming for Seoul or its satellites - so what would be average operating hours for restaurants?

They are open until the last customer leaves. I would say almost anywhere would be open until at least 10 and on weekends after midnight. Should be no problem.

they're wierd. a lot of them close down in between lunch and dinner. I would say many close finally between 9 and 10, but more close at 10 so you'll be able to get in there. also, there are a lot of 24 hour places but you have to know where to look if you want good food at 3 AM.

I've been in places where the ajumma hands over the key and tells you to lock up when you leave (after taking my money)...and other places where they out right ask you to leave as the sun is going down.

24 hour shiktang (restaurant) like kimbab nara, baby! Most civilized places have one.

[azzwell]

tons of places are open late or even all night, you can always get food. In almost every town there is at least one place with a big 24 or 25 in the window, (means open all day and night)

Only one place around me is 24 hours. And if you go in late, all you can get is sundae guk bap.

You might have a little trouble getting into these places after work:

djsmnc: What are your bets on the nationality of who wrote the bottom sign?

[billybrobby]

I've been seing those same two pictures for 3 years now, it seems. Where was that place? It is an interesting question as to who wrote the second sign.

[djsmnc]

It could be a mall in Toronto for all I know
