Known for Korean street food, this spot draws diners from across Seoul.
3 min walk from Cheonho Station Station.
Bunsik — Korean street-food snacks — evolved as affordable, filling fare for students and workers after the Korean War. Tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), kimbap (seaweed rice rolls), sundae (blood sausage), and odeng (fish cake skewers in broth) are the staples. Most bunsik restaurants are fast, casual, and open late, making them a go-to for a quick hot meal at any hour.
Gangdong-gu in southeastern Seoul is a family-oriented district known for its community markets and traditional Korean restaurants. Cheonho Market offers one of Seoul's best selections of traditional banchan, grilled fish, and home-style Korean cooking away from the tourist circuit.

View all →Taste 6, Price 4, Quantity 5, Friendliness 2 (Total 5) The broth itself is incredibly tasty and well-seasoned. Ham, cheese, tofu, rice cakes, minced meat, macaroni, and American beans. This is definitely a must-try budaejjigae in Seoul. The portions of budaejjigae and budaejeongol differ. While there's a bit of a smoky smell, it's not overly unfriendly. There are shared restrooms inside. [Budaejjigae Jeon-gol (small) 28,000 won / plain rice 1,000 won]
Taste: Inconsistent. There are days when it’s spicy and decent, but there have also been times when, no matter how much water I poured in, it was so salty that I couldn't eat the broth and had to barely manage to pick out and eat the solid ingredients. Service: Terrible. I experienced the following all at once: 1. Not serving customers in the order they arrived; 2. Being treated like a nuisance for asking for some water; 3. Witnessing a takeout customer's budaejjigae being served first when we arrived 10 minutes later; and 4. Waiting over 30 minutes for my budaejjigae to arrive while watching all of this. This was the absolute worst day, and other days weren't much better. I haven't gone back since that terrible day, but even before that, the owner and his son were unfriendly. It seemed like they hated customers. Why do they even run a restaurant?
