Long Layover in Incheon, Korea

Our itinerary takes us through Incheon for a long (8-hour) layover. We have
plenty of time for a great lunch either at or outside the airport (if that
is practical). Any recommendations for great local or western food. We are
particularly fond of sushi. Thanks in advance.

Actually, I know many Koreans who love sushi. Two years ago my cruise ship
stopped at Busan, and we saw several sushi restaurants, although we did not
partake. Koreans, like Japanese, appreciate quality sushi.

I am geographically challenged when it comes to R.O.K. Like many countries,
the new international airports are well away from the city. That is why a
lunch-time meal may be impractical outside the Incheon airport. I was
thinking an hour or so to Seoul, two hours for lunch and an hour back to the
airport (10:30 am to 2:30 pm). I don't know if this can be accompished
without a hassle (on a Friday). Thanks.

Thanks for the excellent suggestion of Korean beef. How is it considered
served best? Now I need to google dolsot bibimbab.

You should also try the korean-style pancake (it has seafood/
vegetables/whatever you please in it). it's called pajeon in korean.

another great dish is bulgogi (that's what korean barbecue is in
korean)

enjoy!!
