🍢 Russian & Uzbek Cuisine on Dongdaemun’s Central Asian Street, Fortune

Featured on Korean TV, Fortune is a Russian and Uzbek restaurant on the Central Asian street of Gwanghui-dong in Dongdaemun. We recommend it to guests who want to experience distinctive international cuisine in Seoul.

If you are staying near Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) or the Dongdaemun shopping malls, we recommend an exotic dinner at Fortune, just a 2-minute walk from Exit 6 of Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station.

Pair shashlik skewers with traditional Russian salads. Highlights include the layered herring salad with pickled herring and beetroot, and the Olivier salad of ham and potato dressed with mayonnaise.

Also be sure to try the tangy, spicy carrot salad that Koryo-saram, ethnic Koreans of the former USSR, made in place of kimchi. With spacious first and second floors, group seating, high chairs and vegetarian options, it is great for families too.
