Don’t choose this restaurant in food empire at Incheon international airport except you have many hour to waiting for your noodle, for me sine order until get my food almost 40min!!!

While on transit, at the Incheon International Airport, I was able to discover some interesting food haunts inside the airport and one of them is the Food Empire. It is setup like a food court, and inside you get to choose various options like Korean, Vietnamese or Western dishes. And because there are several shops inside the small space, they had devised an ingenious way of completing the order - using technology, plus a clear billboard, they would then inform the patron that the order has been completed and is ready for pickup (very efficient too!) I was able to try the big cutlet this morning, and it was worth it. The price was about 11,700 KRW or 11.7 CAD but the portion was so big that I stayed full even at lunchtime ! Their pho soup is also delicious but its not worth the price - the meat and noodles portions are not that generous. If you feel that you want to save, they also offer free drinking water on a paper cup.

Options were a bit limited when I went in July 2021. However, I was grateful to have some Korean food and drinks while on my layover. The kimchis on the side were great. The soup was also very good but the mussel felt a little hairy. I feel that places I have gone to in the past were a bit better at removing this. Be careful of the hours too. Not sure what the situation will be like in the future but they did close for the night a bit after I left when I visited.

Have one halal restaurant inside food court empire is kervan kebab near gate 118 at terminal 1 incheon international airport... the taste so good and the big portion... the price i eat around rm200+++ for all this menu ( quickly expensive ) , but what you expect when eat at airport.. .hihi....

no breakfast possible... is it a joke?? Only 9:30 in the morning... Pork, pork, pork, pork ...in 1000 configurations... pork soup, pork with rice, pork with noodles... This is international airport?... a girl who sells the food, when asked about breakfast, makes big eyes (she does not understand a word!) and says "I dont know" 🤣. Change the name, guys... Food means also breakfast, as I know... its Pork Empire, not food !

One of Korean dishes bibimbap was nice and reasonably priced. There were food court & a restaurant on the 4th floor of the transition side and the restaurant was much less busy.

We had a connection flight in Seoul Incheon airport so we stopped by to eat some lunch. What an eye-opening experience. Openly discriminative practice at this food court. The male cashier who was supposed to take order was rude and yelled at customers, except if you speak Korean. We were warned about the rudeness of some staff in the airport but experiencing it is a totally different story. It makes you wonder why the managememt does nothing to address their openly discriminative practice and racist attitudes. Korea was our planned future vacation destination, but now it is off the table after being treated poorly by many of them.

There are 2 locations of this food court (Our Home Food Empire) in ICN Terminal 1 4th floor. The location by gates 29/30 is extremely overcrowded during peak times and has a rude male cashier (Oct 8, 2023) who yelled at me to find a seat before ordering. Not friendly for solo/foreign travelers. This interaction makes me not want to return to South Korea. The other location closer to gate 12 is not as crowded and had a friendlier female cashier who let me order and let me know that the wait for the Korean food was around 20 minutes. The seafood tofu stew tasted good but was a little spicy. I wish ICN Terminal 1 had more options for hot food after security.

Im going with 2 stars instead of one cause the food was pretty good. But do not arrive at dinner time hungry!!!!! And forget it entirely if u have less than an hour till you board! The queues are a next level nightmare! And if they get your order wrong, which they will, you’re stuck with it. Also feels entirely claustrophobic in any of the dining areas. My advice, just go to Paris baguette downstairs instead

There is no more halal food inside empire food. The Nimat stall that have kind of Taj Mahal symbol sell pork in their menu
