Myeongdong NANTA Theatre

Super fun show. It's a mix of drumming, cooking, and comedy. The theatre had signs in Korean, English, Chinese, and Japanese but the show itself has very little spoken dialogue so you will have no problem following the action regardless of language. The theatre itself is very small. We sat in the back row of the orchestra and had a great view. Be warned that if you sit in the first ten or so rows you may have bits of food thrown at you at various points during the show, also higher chance of being selected for audience participation.

A very funny performance that everyone should attend at least once. The fact that has been running for such a long time and played in so many countries is a testimony of how good it is. This is a language free show so no translations are needed. Just come and enjoy.

Amazing! Unforgettable experience. I 100% recommend watching this show when going to Seoul. It is unique and it is the longest running show in Korea. It is comedic and great for families with kids. My friend and I enjoyed and laughed so much. It takes about 1.5h and I recommend buying tickets in advance as they are usually sold out.

We booked the tickets based on online recommendations . The show we booked was for the Hongdae area which we didn’t realize and came to the Myeongdong branch. The lady manager was very kind and rebooked us to the next show at Myeongdong so we didn’t not miss our show. It was a very energetic and entertaining show, combining music (using kitchen utensils), dance, acrobatics and dance.

What an entertaining event for both adults and kinds alike, a show that  transcends the language and cultural barriers. The label of " a cooking show" is reductionist at best.  I would describe it as a playfully choreographed percussion show taking place in a kitchen with interactive elements, particularly if you are closer to the stage. It's a tad loud- as percussion shows typically are, but so fun to watch. G-maps has the right location: go through the UNESCO doors and head to the third floor. Bargain hunters can score a better deal through travelling apps , like Trip.com. It was a highlight of my short stay in Seoul, so I definitely recommend it.

This is an excellent show! I went with a group of 13 people, about half kids, and was the only one in the group to speak almost no Korean. I worried I might miss some of what wad going on, but the show is actually about half in English and I had no problem following the story. Heck, even if you don't speak English or Korean, you can probably follow most of the story since part of the show is in gibberish. Language notes aside, it is a very entertaining performance! The actors were all very funny and entertaining, and there is plenty of opportunities for audience participation (they pulled a few people up on stage so be aware of that if you sit near the aisles). At the end of the show, all 13 people in our group agreed that is was an awesome performance! We had lots of laughs and all really enjoyed ourselves. I recommend this show for anyone! Not to be missed!

Great time overall, small theater so most seats are close enough to enjoy. Actors were all very good, play was exciting and kept your interest, very witty and the kids were cracking up in the audience so definitely family friendly. Percussion skills and music rocked 🤘🎸🥁 Could be a touch cheaper considering it is Korea but, still worth the time and money for the entertainment value if you are looking for an activity in Seoul.

Oh my goodness the Nanta Cooking show is absolutely insane. I only booked to see it as it was included in my City Pass. And boy oh boy I'm glad I did. What a fun and amusing show! There's crowd interaction and crazy tricks with cutlery and crockery. It's definitely worth the time to stop by and visit!
