GachaBab - Korea Food Picker

Not sure where to eat in Korea? GachaBab loads real restaurants around you into a capsule machine. One turn of the knob and lunch is decided. It finds meeting spots too.

Where should I eat? Let one capsule decide.

GachaBab pulls up real restaurants around you and drops them into a capsule machine. Turn the knob, pop the capsule open, and today's place is decided. The ten minutes you spend deciding become ten seconds.

■ For South Korea GachaBab runs on Kakao Map data, so it finds places while you are in Korea. Heading to Seoul, Busan or Jeju? Install it now and it's ready the moment you land. Already living here? It works in your own neighborhood every lunch break. Outside Korea there is nothing nearby to draw from, so save it for the trip.

■ How it works

1. Pick a radius (500m to 5km) and a food type.
2. Tap "Find restaurants nearby" and the machine fills with capsules.
3. Turn the knob, tap the capsule, and today's restaurant pops out.

■ What's inside · Real places nearby — restaurants pulled live from Kakao Map data · Radius — 500m / 1km / 2km / 3km / 5km · Categories — Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Western, Snacks, Cafe and more · Rarity grades — the rarer a kind of place is around you, the higher the capsule grade. The one-of-a-kind spot outranks the fifth kimbap shop. · Kakao Map link and directions for every result · Favorites — keep the ones you liked and open them again anytime · Not this one — a place you exclude never comes back · No repeats — a restaurant you already drew won't show up again until you have seen everything nearby · Meet in the middle — add everyone's location and GachaBab finds a subway station in between, then draws a restaurant near it · History — every place you drew stacks up like a collection · Share — send today's pick straight to a friend

■ Who it's for · Anyone tired of hearing "anywhere is fine" · Travelers in Korea who don't know what's good on this street · Residents who keep ending up at the same three places · Friends coming from different stations who need a fair place to meet

■ Good to know · Free, with no sign-up and no in-app purchases · Your location is used only to search for nearby restaurants and is never stored on our servers · Favorites and history stay on your device · Available in English and Korean · Restaurant data comes from Kakao Map, so opening hours and closures may differ from what you find in person · Restaurant search covers South Korea only

Leave today's meal to the capsule.
