The experience
Seoul's most famous traditional food market, a covered maze of stalls in Jongno running since the early 1900s. The food core is a tight grid of counter stalls cooking mung-bean bindaetteok on iron griddles, mayak gimbap, tteokbokki, sundae and fresh yukhoe. You sit on plastic stools at the vendor's counter and eat where it's cooked.
The single densest concentration of classic Seoul street food, cooked in front of you.
