1. ALT A (알트에이) — Itaewon
Steam drifts up with a tease of Sichuan pepper and toasted chili as porcelain plates arrive with clean lines and verdant greens. Loved by locals and travelers alike, ALT A spins classic Chinese cues through a modern plant forward lens so you taste clarity first and craft right after. Expect confident wok aroma and balanced heat with service that suits birthdays and date nights.
- Order this: Plant based mapo style tofu and sesame noodle dishes, then ask for their seasonal greens.
