In the middle of the movement of Avellaneda Avenue, in Flores, there is a small passage that must be the closest thing to going through a tunnel that takes you straight to Seoul. It is Pasaje Ruperto Godoy, a short and picturesque alley that has become one of the most original Korean gastronomic poles in Buenos Aires.
This is Pasaje Ruperto Godoy: the Korean passage to eat like in Seoul
Pasaje Ruperto Godoy is no more than 100 meters long, but it concentrates cafes, restaurants, karaokes and stores with typical Korean products. You don’t need to go anywhere else to discover what Korea has to offer in Buenos Aires. Besides, everything is surrounded by murals, lanterns and posters in hangeul, the Korean alphabet.
If you go to this Korean passage in Flores to eat in addition to browsing, you can go to places like Maum Café, a place run by a Korean family. There you can try from a matcha latte to macarons, traditional mochis or Asian flavored ice creams.
A few meters away, you will find Dashimaki: its specialty is handmade ramen and sushi, and it is open only at noon, so if you go, make a note: it is open from Monday to Saturday until 4 pm.
You can also find Korean food places like Pan Moa, a pastry shop that mixes European and Oriental; Bulmat, to taste homemade dishes like noodles with pork; or Azit Chicken Bar, where Korean fried chicken is the protagonist.
And if you feel like singing, Karaoke W adds fun to the plan with private booths in Korean style, one of the few Karaoke and places that exist in Buenos Aires for an outing that includes singing until the wee hours of the morning.
📍 Pasaje Ruperto Godoy is located between Felipe Vallese and Paez streets, a few steps from Avellaneda, in Flores.
