I've stumbled upon a truly exceptional restaurant in Yangsan!

It's called 'Chowon House,' and their Barley Rice Hanjeongsik (Korean Table d'hôte) is simply divine. I was amazed by the generous portion of the Barley Rice Set Menu offered as a lunch special.

I visited during lunchtime, and I appreciated that I could order until 3 PM. The variety of side dishes that came with it truly allowed me to experience the charm of Hanjeongsik. In particular, the five-set assortment of seasoned vegetables was presented so elegantly, elevating the dish's quality. It was a truly satisfying experience!


The Barley Rice Hanjeongsik at Chowon House is a true delicacy!

Being able to enjoy it with Korean BBQ short rib made it even more satisfying. There were so many different kinds of side dishes, which made it fun to pick and choose. The Japchae (glass noodles stir-fry) and Spicy Squid Salad were exceptional, and the grilled fish was fresh and delicious.

Eating such a delicious Hanjeongsik filled both my stomach and my heart. The generous portions make it a great place to visit with family. If you come to Tongdosa Temple, be sure to stop by!

I enjoyed a healthy meal at Chowon House. The barley rice wasn't heavy on my stomach, so it was easy to digest and enjoyable.

The taste, which never gets old, is truly recommendable. Mixing it with the soft seasoned vegetables brought a smile to my face!

My favorite dishes were the Susu Bukkumi (Sorghum Pancake) and Yakbap (Sweet Rice). The rich sweetness lingered in my mouth, bringing me joy. You won't regret choosing any menu item here!

Dreamlike Moment

I understood why so many families visit. Chowon House is filled with healthy Hanjeongsik options that even the elderly can enjoy without feeling burdened. On the day of my visit, there were customers of various age groups.

Because many older people visit, I definitely wanted to come with my parents. I felt happy seeing all the customers enjoying their meals.

Impressive Scene

Chowon House is located near Tongdosa Temple, so it would be great to visit after enjoying a delicious meal. After my visit, my friend and I went straight to Tongdosa Temple.

The plum blossoms there were so beautiful! I was able to experience the essence of spring.

The combination of red plum blossoms and light pink plum blossoms was truly beautiful. I experienced a moment that made me feel at peace. Enjoying a great restaurant and beautiful scenery at the same time created a synergistic effect!

Lastly, I appreciated that the waiting area at Chowon House was comfortable and spacious. Reservations are also possible, so making a reservation in advance would make it even more convenient. Sitting on the floor to eat also helped me relax and enjoy the meal at my own pace.

It would have been perfect if I could have had dinner in a relaxed atmosphere while enjoying the charm of Hanjeongsik! I highly recommend this restaurant.

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
