Top 3 Restaurants near the Incheon Bupyeong Underground Shopping Mall

Hello，everyone! We are Creatrip, a group of Korean travel experts.
We proudly present you the latest, useful Korean travel information and tips every day.

Creatrip recently introduced Incheon Bupyeong Underground Shopping Mall, which is one of the biggest shopping malls in Korea.

People usually get very hungry when they are on a shopping spree.

If you don't know where to eat in Bupyeong, you can follow Creatrip's recommendation on the top 3 restaurants in the area.

1. epic(에픽)

This restaurant (Epic) is located near the Bupyeong Station and Bupyeong Underground Shopping Mall.

This restaurant is extremely popular among the Bupyeong locals. The rumor has it that if you grab a random pedestrian to ask about the location of this restaurant, the person will kindly guide you to the place.

The interior of this restaurant is clean and simple! > <

Although the restaurant does not have a large space, the tables are evenly spaced out.

Before my visit, I heard that Epic pasta is a little different from the authentic Italian pasta.

When I tasted, I could barely feel the difference.

After I placed my order, the waitress served freshly baked bread before the meal.

The store freshly bakes bread every day.

When I tasted it, the texture was very chewy and delicious! > <

This dish is the signature menu of epic. It's called Mare crema (마레크레마)! > < (15,000 won)

Doesn't it look like a stereotypical Italian Carbonara pasta at the first glance?

But this dish was not too greasy to eat!

I usually don't like cream pasta because it feels too heavy. Epic's Mare crema was just about right for my taste.

When you scoop the bottom of the casserole, you will find the crispy cream layer. It tastes so delicious!

I took a photo of the restaurant from the inside, and found many customers have ordered Mare crema!

The chef also highly recommends the combination of creamy pasta (Mare Crema) and the cream casserole! > <

After coming out of the Bupyeong underground shopping mall you have to walk for a few minutes to reach Epic. I personally recommend you to taste this unique Italian cuisine.

When you feel hungry while you shop at the Bupyeong underground shopping mall, check out epic's Mare crema! ^^

2. Cucina di Napoli(쿠치나 디 나폴리)

As what the name implies, this restaurant serves Italian cuisine originated from the Naples, Italy.

Cucina di Napoli steak doesn't need a word to describe how delicious it is (I heard the meat is very tender and juicy).

The portion of meat and shrimp in the TOOWOOMBA Italian pasta (투움바 파스타) of Cucina di Napoli was very big.

The sauce was slightly spicy, but it wasn't excessive. I loved it!! > <

I really wanted to recommend this dish to everyone!!

I heard all pizzas are delicious, but the sesame leaf pizza (루꼴라피자) to be especially tasty. I couldn't try this time because the restaurant did not have an individual size pizza.

If you are planning to visit as a group, I would like to recommend you to order a steak and a dish of TOOWOOMBA pasta, and a sesame leaf pizza.

Share these three signature dishes and make your belly happy! > <

3. Grabab(그랩어비)

Grabab is a gourmet burger restaurant. They make fresh 100% grind beef patties every day.

Many local people have left positive feedback about the high-quality Grabab burgers.

The burgers sold at Grabab tastes different from any other burgers sold in general fast food restaurants!

If you are looking for the best handmade burger shop in Bupyeong, Grabab should be the first to come into your mind. Hahahaha~

Grabab's burgers are huge~

It would be extremely difficult to take a bite of the bun, meat patty, and vegetables all at once > <

But you should try eating all the ingredients together to fully appreciate the authentic taste of Grabab gourmet burgers!

The price range is between 9,000 and 10,000 won, which is a bit pricey compared to the other restaurants in the neighborhood.

However, burger fans would definitely want to try this place out. After long hours of shopping at the Bupyeong Underground Shopping Mall, make a quick stop at Grabab and taste the best gourmet burger in the area! Should this place not let everyone down! Hahaha

When you get to the Bupyeong area, you will be surprised by the few limited options you get for dining. These three restaurants, Epic, Cucina di Napoli, and Grabab were handpicked by a super picky gourmet (Me!), so you can be assured to visit any of these restaurants for a decent meal. I've personally visited all three restaurants, and they were all great!

Will see you all in my next post!
