Gwangjang Market

It is delicious because there are so many Bindaetteok Tteokbokki Sundae.


You can find rich materials in the area. (


) A good place to experience traditional markets  (

) There are a lot of people, but there are plenty of delicious food.  (

) Because it was a weekend, there were a lot of people, so it was difficult to move around. The children said they wanted to eat Yukhoe and Tangtang, so we ate well.  (

This stall owner very friendly and clean. Cold weather with warm soup and delicious lots of vegetable rice. Good price. Experiencing eating at the side of the stall with warm chair. Awesome!!

) there are too many people They say there are many famous snacks, but the taste is not good, but I think it s worth going sometimes  (

I have mixed feelings about this place.  If you can come during off peak times season, I highly recommend it. If not, forget it. Go some place else and spare yourself the stress of suffocating crowds impatience of Koreans.  When there are not so many people and you can find a stall with some available seats, it s amazing. I had a great first time experience here with my parents, we had some amazing dumplings and loved it.  The second time I came here (on a Saturday during holidays) I hated it. Way too many people, getting crushed in the crowd, made it really difficult to enjoy myself.  The worst of it though, was getting rushed by one of the stalls.  There s a very distinctive looking Korean lady who runs a stall there. Quite burly, always wearing a bandana, stern face. We went to her and tried some dumplings. She started telling us off in Korean because we weren t eating quick enough for her liking and wanted us to leave. Obviously trying to get the next customers in. We weren t even finished our meal, had a whole plate of dumplings left. And to be honest, the dumplings I had before were way better.

) Bibimbap with good cost performance, taiyaki bread eaten while standing in line!  (

Good spot for some quick bite of local food in very packed small places

You will find the most delicious spicy rice cakes in this place. Housewives are going to be thrilled to see their first-level battlefield.


You can find a wide variety of foods and sights, but so many tourists are arriving from abroad that it is hard to believe there were places I could line up.


The market is so popular, there are so many people that I cannot buy anything. Maybe because Saturday was Saturday.


Soft and chewy, the pretzel can be enjoyed with Red bean donuts.


The mandu restaurant at the market entrance is a must-visit. They have an amazing broth made with homemade mandu and traditional Korean recipes. I was saved from the freezing weather by the pork intestines, sundae, and Tokkboki.
