Start with one dish
At Gwangjang Market, try bindaetteok (a savory mung bean pancake) or a small order of gimbap. Walk through the food alley first and choose a stall with posted prices and a free seat.
Point and ask the price
“Igeo eolmayeyo?” (이거 얼마예요?) means “How much is this?” Show one finger and say “Igeo hana juseyo” (이거 하나 주세요) for “One of these, please.” Keep a little cash handy in case the stall needs it.
Make time for the neighborhood
Leave room in your plan to walk along Cheonggyecheon or stop by Sewoon Shopping Center afterward. Check the market’s official listing for current hours. Food stalls and shops can keep different schedules.
