The Seoul Tourist Trap Index

These 26 restaurants have the widest positive gaps in Seoul: tourists rate them substantially higher than locals do. A high gap doesn't mean the food is bad — it means the local consensus doesn't back the hype, which is exactly what you want to know before queueing an hour.

Method in one line: Gap = Google rating − local blend (Naver 2× + Kakao), badged only at 100+ reviews per side. Full methodology →
