👍👍 I went here during my study abroad in Korea and I still think about the delicious egusi and jollof rice! The owners are very kind and taught us about the food since it was our first time with this cuisine. Thank you Happy Home!! People often mention time, good, Seoul, Nigerian,

    Very nice, cosy, typical African place with original good home-made food. The staff is smiling and happy people who try to please the guests and bring them specific tastes from Africa :)

    I won't lie and call the food bad, because it isn't. The food is tasty. I have no idea what food from that area of the world should taste like, so I can't speak for it's authenticity, but I enjoyed what we had. But who runs a restaurant in Seoul and does not accept credit cards? Even vendors in traditional markets can candle card transactions, or at the very least direct transfers, but somehow this restaurant only accepts cash. Lucky for them I actually had cash on me.

    First trip to South Korea - It was so good to have a taste of home in Seoul. I was warmly welcomed. Good atmosphere, Afro beat music in the background was an added bonus. Huge portion size unfortunately I couldn’t finish. However, very tasty & thoroughly enjoyed my meal. One cannot enjoy a west African meal without Super Malt, in the case of South Korea, ‘Malta Goya’ 🥰. Highly recommend ‘Happy Home Resturant’ Thank you for the plantain chip ❤️.

    Happy Home restaurant is really a home away from home. For me is the best place in Itaewon to get Nigerian food that can serve everyone's taste. A visit will convince you.

    Very delicious food. Since we're vegan, we can only enjoy a small portion of the menu. The woman who served us was very kind and accommodating. She let us know which dish was safe for us to eat. The only thing I would complain about is that I can never try their plantains, but I don't blame them; I just hope I visit the day they have plantains again so I can pair it with my jollof rice and beans.

    In Seoul on a work visit and needed some naija taste. Didnt dissapoint. The food was good. Had a decent conversation with the owner as well. Very welcoming persona. I took jollof rice to go "for the road" lol. back to ICN. Keep up the good work and God bless your business. If im ever back in Seoul, will be sure to visit again.

    Awesome to see a Nigerian restaurant in Seoul. It stands well even against other restaurants in Nigeria. The atmosphere is great and the staff are awesome.

    Its the only place in Seoul that serves authentic Nigerian food. Try their cow leg soup and Jollof rice or soup with fufu. Cool place to relax with friends, eat n drink. The owner is a very humble person
