CLOSED: Kong Story

Great food from very helpful owner who has lived in New Zealand, etc, and speaks very good English. We had a falafel plate, falafel pita and falafel tortilla, etc, priced from 5000 to 6000 won each. Currently open 10am to 6.30pm daily except closed on Thursdays. Thoroughly recommend this place!

We were surprised to find a Hummus and Falafel place in South Korea since very few people know here what Falafel or Chickpeas are. So we were suspisious first and ordered only one plate but once we tried it we had to order more because these are really one of the best falafel and hummus we ever had. The are several options you can choose from and the nice owner, who by the way also speaks good english, also offers some delicious drinks, like a mango slash. You shouldn't miss it if you like middle eastern food!

It appears to be the only vegetarian eatery in downtown Gyeongju! Conveniently located opposite the Express Bus terminal. Its specialty is falafel which is very delicious with a very appetizing aroma. Prices range from 3000W - 5000W for falafel wraps. Falafel also available at 500W each and is a great snack. I came here almost every day during my trip and packed a burger before took the express bus.
Opening hours are 9am - 7:30pm, closed on Thursday. But when I dropped by at 9:30am on my departure day, they were just opening and was not ready for making falafel. I packed a vegie burger instead which is quite delicious too. (visited 19 - 22 Sept 2014)

Super friendly, English speaking owner runs this tiny jewel offering all sorts of falafel options: on pita, on hamburger buns, wrapped in tortillas with a choice of added condiments, including a yummy hummus with just the right amount of garlic. There are a few stools to sit on and have a nice chat with the owner, but it caters to take-out.
