Tried this place on a recommendation I read on tripadvisor.com and was not disappointed. The food was excellent! Had some mimosas to go along with my pancakes and sausage. As with everywhere in Korea, the service wasn't that great but the food more than makes up for it. Went around 8pm and didn't need a reservation.

Love this place. Always packed, so go early or make a reservation. Never ordered something I didn't like. Coffees are way over priced though, so go for coffee somewhere else after you eat. Love the french toast options!

The food is really good here. It is a little expensive, but I think it is worth it. Certainly be careful to avoid the crowds as this place can fill up fast and have a long line at the door.

Great brunches, located in foreigner town. For people craving a western style brunch, it is one of the top 5 spots in Seoul.

The food is good, service is pretty good. The wait for a seat can be too much though on a weekend.

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Seoul. The food is always amazing; I have ordered a lot of different things off the menu, and I have never been disappointed. It's best to go a little earlier in the morning (around 10) on the weekends to avoid the noon rush. My one complaint would be that, at... More

To rebut the 3/5 review: Note the lack of commentary of how fantastic this restaurant is; instead it is a rant about a perfectly charming and intended quirk of the name. The Flying Pan's menu is delicious and satisfying, and the place has a wonderful, cosy atmosphere. It deserves to be promoted, and not made a platform for an unnecessary... More
