About Quida

Quida comes from an old Korean verb, 퀴다, which the standard dictionary defines as "to crave food greedily." That is the spirit of this site.

What you will find here

Each post starts from a meal I actually ate and photographed myself, mostly in Korea and sometimes on trips abroad. Around those photos I add what a visitor needs: what the dish is, how locals order it, phrases you can show to staff, and the practical details for finding the place.

How the details are checked

• Photos are mine, taken on the visit shown in each post. Some are a few years old, and I say so.
• Current details such as addresses, hours and prices come from official tourism pages and map listings. Every post shows the date those details were last checked. Restaurants change, so please confirm before you go.
• What reviewers say is summarized from public sources and attributed. I do not copy other people's reviews.
• Facts are checked against the sources listed at the end of each post.
