About Dunpo-ri, Asan-si, South Korea

Dunpo-myeon is located in northern Asan-si, South Korea, and includes both the tiny town of Dunpo-ri and the larger town of Asan Techno Valley. It is also located near Paengseong Pyeongtaek which is home to the Camp Humphreys US Army Base. Today we are going to look at places to eat in Dunpo-ri.

Dunpo-ri, Dunpo-myeon has a number of countryside restaurants that we recommend trying. Dunpo-ri hosts a large number of immigrants which makes it a delicious place to grab a meal. It also makes it a place filled with humble establishments so leave your judgment at home and get ready to feel uncomfortable at first. That’s because folks will absolutely stare at you and wonder if you are lost. Don’t worry, you will get over it and they will get over it and then it will all be normal again.

That said, if you only want “fancy” things, dining in Dunpo may not be for you. However, if you enjoy experiencing many cultures, then you will enjoy these restaurants. Many of us who volunteer for South of Seoul dine-in Dunpo often. Although it may not look modern and fancy, the food can be very delicious.
