Our (family of 3) stay in Seoul was short so we wanted to make the most of it. Our young adult daughter, who is a strict vegan, and I had signed up for cooking class, which was to be followed by the three of us doing the food tour. Daniel was kind enough to arrange a special vegan cooking class... More

While we enjoyed the food and walking the streets, our guide Marcus seemed a bit bored, talked about himself too much and got drunk way before any of the rest of us did. It seemed like he was just going through the motions and couldn't wait to get rid of us. I want to say that he was perfectly nice,... More

Daniel and his team organized a wonderful dining tour for our executives' group in January 2012. We were 26 people. They did an excellent job, showing us the best of Korean food and drinks! The team was so well organized and so cheerful! Daniel even went beyond his contract and brought part of the group into a karaoke bar late... More

I would highly recommend a trip to O'ngo if you're interested in a hands-on experience of Korean Food. My chef and guide was extremely knowledgable, friendly, and hospitable. The facilities are spacious, professional, and clean, and the staff down-to-earth. We made Kimchi, and they even adjusted the recipe for me (I'm vegan) - which was truly accommodating. I would definitely... More

We saw Daniel Grey appear on various food channels in the US and that's how we googled him and found out about O'ngo Food. Trying the local food is always our primary goal on our vacation, so we decided to book a private tour with Daniel. He met us at the hotel on our first day in Seoul and introduced... More

It’s a whirlwind tour of korean food, drink and culture, very well presented by our tour guide. We visited about 4-5 different restaurants in various locations, each with it’s own unique food speciality and lots of drinks. Our group was not too big but everybody enjoyed the pleasant and informal evening. I would recommend easy walking shoes and VERY warm... More

We did the Restuarant night tour last night and had a fantastic time. We toured 4 different restaurants sampling traditional Korean cuisine and alcohol. Our guide, Chuck, was very friendly and knowledgable and was happy to answer all of my questions about Korean culture. The office did a great job of giving us directions to their office and answering all... More

Our night dining guide Chuck was an enthusiastic fellow who went to great lengths to ensure the comfort of his guests. We were joined by a lovely Indonesian couple and a knowledgeable German gentleman, and really enjoyed their company! We do not consume alcohol, so we only had water and soft drinks. Frankly speaking, I was hoping for some kind... More
