Read guide →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.
Yeongdeungpo-gu's Times Square mall and Yeouido financial district generate a diverse food scene of department store restaurants, business lunch spots, and the Han River cycling culture that has made outdoor food and coffee culture a fixture of the waterfront.
📍Truly the Hermes of the tripe world! This is one of the best tripe restaurants in the world, serving it without broth, with a slightly strong seasoning but incredibly delicious.
Huh? I went to an old-fashioned gopchang restaurant on a rainy day without expecting much. I didn't take any photos because of the shabby atmosphere, but when I first ordered, I got vegetable gopchang, steamed egg, and cheese toppings. Among the side dishes, seaweed and bean sprouts came out, and wrapping them with the sundae gopchang was actually pretty good!! I couldn't help but take a picture, so I snapped one quickly and started eating. I ordered extra sundae, extra small gopchang, and cheese toppings. Haha. Cheese toppings on fried rice... and pork gopchang and beef makchang too—we ate a good amount of everything, all delicious. 3 women and 2 men ~~ including drinks, the total was 128,000 won ~ Great value for money!!!
