The Average Price of a Bowl of Bibimbap in Seoul Has Surpassed 11,000 Korean Won

According to the True Price data from the Korea Consumer Agency’s Comprehensive Price Information Portal for September 2024, the price of bibimbap, one of the representative dishes of dining out in South Korea, recorded 11,038 won. This marks a 0.65% increase compared to August and a 5.12% rise compared to a year ago. The recent rise in vegetable prices is believed to have contributed to the increase in bibimbap prices. The price of samgyetang also rose by 1.36% from August, reaching 17,269 won, marking the 17,000 won range. The price of gimbap was 3,462 won, up 7.68% compared to last year, but down about 0.6% compared to August’s price of 3,485 won.

The average price increase for the eight major Korean dining-out dishes (bibimbap, gimbap, samgyetang, pork belly, jajangmyeon, kalguksu, naengmyeon, and kimchi stew set) over the past year was 4.58%, with jajangmyeon, naengmyeon, and pork belly prices remaining relatively stable compared to the previous month.
