Korean Restaurants in Asturias

Korean food isn’t exactly everywhere in Asturias, but if you know where to look, you can find some surprisingly good spots to satisfy that craving for spicy, flavorful dishes.

In Oviedo, there’s a small place called Han Guk that’s been quietly serving up authentic bibimbap and bulgogi for years. The owner’s Korean mom even stops by now and then to make homemade kimchi, which really sets it apart. It feels more like eating at a friend’s house than a restaurant.

If you’re in Gijón, don’t miss Namu, tucked away near the Plaza Mayor. It's not flashy, but the seafood pancake (haemul pajeon) is seriously good, especially in winter when it hits the spot after a walk along the seafront. My trick? Order the spicy tteokbokki as a side, it’s a little firecracker!

Asturias isn’t flooded with Korean places, but these spots keep me coming back whenever I want something different from the typical Spanish menu. And don’t neglect the veggie options , Korean food does a great job with tofu and greens, which is perfect if you want something lighter but still full of flavor.

A few local tips

If you’re curious about Korean food here, don’t just stick to restaurants,try checking out Asian grocery stores in Oviedo’s La Corredoria district. They stock things like kimchi jars and gochujang, which are handy if you want to add some Korean flavor to your own cooking.

Also, some Korean spots in Asturias might not have the most polished look but trust me, their food punches above its weight. Ask the owner for recommendations; they’re usually thrilled to share their favorites or suggest off-menu specials. And, if you visit Han Guk, sit near the window. I’ve watched locals chatting there over a bowl of soondubu jjigae (soft tofu stew), and it’s one of those unpretentious experiences you don’t forget.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about Korean food in Asturias? Here’s what you want to know.

There aren’t tons like in Madrid or Barcelona, but you’ll find a handful of solid spots mostly in Oviedo and Gijón. It’s enough to get your fix of classics like bibimbap or Korean BBQ without hunting forever.

Yes, most places do. Korean cuisine naturally has plenty of veggie-based dishes like japchae or tofu stews that are easy to find, even if the place is small or family-run.

Not super easy, but a few Asian markets in Oviedo carry staples like gochujang (red chili paste) and dried seaweed. If you’re a fan of cooking, it’s worth stopping by “Asia Market Asturias” near the city center.

Prices are pretty reasonable, especially compared to big cities. You can get a filling meal for around 10-15 euros, which feels fair considering the quality and the effort most places put into homemade touches.

Full-on Korean BBQ with grills at the table is rare here. Most spots focus on dishes you eat as they come, like stews, noodles, and rice mixes, but if BBQ is a must, Han Guk in Oviedo sometimes offers grilled dishes that come close.

Winter’s actually a great time because hearty stews and spicy soups really warm you up after a cold day out. Plus, spots like Namu in Gijón feel cozy when it’s chilly outside.
