KOREA · GWANGJANG MARKET & SEOUL STREET FOOD
11 reviewed
Gwangjang is the oldest market in Seoul and the mung-bean pancakes are the reason to arrive hungry.

“Not what we expected or had hoped for. The trip started promisingly at a covered market with a number of local dishes.

Small-group Busan market tour with Chef Heeyoung, tasting street food at Jagalchi, BIFF Square, and Bupyeong Kkangtong.
“I had a great time on the food tour with Chef Heeyoung! It was so nice to be guided around the sprawling markets by a local expert, and we learned so much about Korean food in general and also about local Busan specialties. All of the food we tried was great, and the dessert, Hotteok, we had on the tour was especially delicious (and I don't normally have much of a sweet tooth!). Would definitely recommend!”
