Address

88 Changgyeonggung-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul

Opened in 1905, one of Seoul's oldest traditional markets. Stools line the central aisle and the air is thick with oil sizzle and smoke. The core menu is bindaetteok (mung-bean pancakes), mayak gimbap (tiny gimbap rolls) and yukhoe (raw beef). Fabric and hanbok shops run along the side aisles and upstairs. Pancake stalls have long lines at lunch and dinner.
