Updated 2023/10: Sosabeol is filled with restaurant options. Here are 10 that keep us coming back. Visit Sosabeol again and again to try each of these delicious meals.
Who loves Sosabeol but sometimes feels overwhelmed by the choices?
The multitude of buildings in Sosabeol, with many floors to visit, are filled with so many dining options it is easy to become overwhelmed. No one wants to sort through that much new information when they are hangry. That’s why I am here to share 10 restaurants commonly recommended in the Pyeongtaek Food & Fun group that I also may enjoy visiting regularly. Once you have tried these spots, you will feel empowered to try many more.
Things to Know Before You Go to Sosabeol for Dinner
Parking can be tricky. If you park where you eat or play you can often get an hour of free parking. You need to show your license plate number to the cashier when you check out. You can’t usually show receipts when you leave as parking is un-manned. If you do not have a Korean bank account you may have trouble paying for parking.
Traffic on weekend evenings and holidays. Things can get a bit hectic during popular times of the week or year. That means it might take you 20-30 minutes to park once you arrive. It’s not common, but it happens when things are busy so just be prepared for this on a Friday night. Don’t worry about it, just know it happens.
Break-time from 3pm – 5pm. Most restaurants (but not all) will take a rest between lunch and dinner service. You will also need to be seated by 2:15pm since they will close at 3pm.

Sous Vide Chicken Pub is one of my absolute favorites because they light my food on fire and the food is delicious. The Chicken Pub also brews some of its beers and has English menus. I’m a huge fan of going here for birthdays or just for fun.

When we want Chinese food we go to Migak Lamb Skewers. The side dishes and the lamb have become an addiction.
Pizzeria Danilo
Instagram: danilo.jeong.jihak From Pyeongtaek Food & Fun user Aly RL, wanted to share a delicous brick-oven pizzeria that I recently stumbled upon in Sosabel. The pizza is made right there in front of you after you order. The menu is a touch screen pad that has English as an option. There was a 20 minute wait while I visited during the lunch time hour but it was definitely worth the wait. There are only 10 bar stools facing the oven so the place is small. Parking is available underground. 핏제리아 다닐로 경기 평택시 비전5로 20-26 1층 132호 https://naver.me/FUGSuCu0

I am a Shokuji addict. This Japanese diner is located on the edge of Sosabeol and they also have many locations around town. The Sosabeol location remains one of my favorites. I love the interior and the vibe. There is often a waiting list so be ready for that when you go. It is worth the wait.

3 Sambaekdon Donkatus makes my absolute favorite donkatsu/tonkatsu in Pyeongtaek. For me, nothing else even compares. I like to get the mix-set because everything they make is delicious. They don’t have tons of tables so it’s best for a date night or groups of four.

Casa di Luca is a spot I haven’t visited but it’s often recommended in Pyeongtaek Food & Fun. Since I don’t eat a lot of pasta or pizza I’ve just never gotten around to trying this lovely little restaurant. Based on the recommendations of others though, I think pasts and pizza lovers need to give them a try.
