List of oldest restaurants in South Korea

This is a list of the oldest active restaurants in South Korea. For inclusion in the list, the restaurant must be currently active and located within South Korea proper, with relative consensus on the founding date and continuity of the restaurant since its founding.

Few businesses are over 100 years old; this is possibly due to the 1910–1945 Japanese colonial period and 1950–1953 Korean War.[1]
