What travelers say:
Gwangjang Market is the Mecca for Korean Street food. Here you can find various Korean comfort foods, as well as various pre-made goods such as Cady, ginseng, nori, and other Korean delicacies to take back home.I also come to the market to buy my "banchan" or side dishes and dried goods, but I strongly recommend visitors to grab a snack when at Gwangjang.I also recommend patrons to visit stalls with prices posted upfront and to wear shoes and not sandles.

Traditional street market in Seoul. Selling many types of food like mung bean pancakes, tteobokki, kalguksu, kimbap, mandu, sannakji, beef tartare & etc.
A nice roof covered food market called Gwangjiang In Seoul for Local Korean food and more souvenirs to shop for. Local staff need a push to smile though💜 and less pushiness to hurry buyers. Let us look😊👍
Eating at the Kozo Market 🚶♀️ The pindae cake here is delicious because the oil is so refreshing and the stomach is not leaning 😃♥️ This time, I ordered seafood pajeon. Jongno Restaurant Recommended 🇰🇷
Yukke 🐙 When I lived in Kozo Market, I was definitely taking my friend when I came to Korea or when I was going to take him. ♥️ I missed 🇰🇷🇰🇷 Yukhoe Sisters' House Integrated Main Store (No. 3) 🇰🇷 Jongno 5-ga, Jongno-gu, Seoul 138-7
probably overhyped. we tried the twisted doughnut, and I feel it was OK. it was cold and snowing, so this pipping hot doughnut tasted even more delicious. food and snacks sold here quite expensive, pancakes at 10sgd++. we didn't try anything because we felt it was overpriced. we just go around to enjoy the vibe, and that's it. we then walked somewhere nearby for dinner.
