Young people in South Korea are embracing Chinese cuisine, leaving restaurants in Seoul packed with customers during evening hours.

Foreign Media: Young people in their 20s and 30s in South Korea are embracing a Chinese food craze, with Chinese restaurants in areas such as Myeongdong, Hongdae, and Gangnam packed full during evenings. Take "Banan Yao Grilled Fish" as an example—by 5:30 PM, the restaurant is already fully booked, with Mandarin and Korean interwoven throughout the dining area.

This shift stems from short video content dissemination and firsthand experiences by young consumers, making Sichuan-style whole fish stew dishes increasingly popular. Chinese cuisine is now moving from niche ethnic communities into mainstream consumption scenes in South Korea.
