Include the neighborhood, meal time, budget and food type. Solo-friendly means more than one seat: report minimum orders, shared dishes, counter seating, wait time and whether ordering alone was straightforward.

Say which card network you used, whether it was a staffed counter or kiosk, and the visit date. A card failing once does not prove all international cards fail. Note whether cash, a different terminal or staff assistance solved the problem.

State the ingredient or restriction and your required strictness. A dish that appears vegetarian can still use meat or seafood stock. Treat community answers as leads, then confirm ingredients directly with the restaurant when the consequence matters.
Traveler question
We list four: Gwangjang on Line 1, Tongin on Line 3, Namdaemun on Line 4 and Mangwon on Line 6. They are on four different lines and sell four different lunches, and the collection we wrote says which is which. What it does not say is which one to pick, because that depends on things we cannot check from a desk: how much English is spoken on a Tuesday afternoon, whether the token lunchbox at Tongin is as self-explanatory as it sounds when nobody is there to explain it, and whether Gwangjang is worth it at 11am or only after dark. If you have been to any of them, say which and when. Corrections to what we have written are more useful than agreement with it.
