Myeongdong is famous for shopping, but its street food is just as much of a draw. From evening on, stalls fill the streets with a wide range of food.
What to try
- Tteokbokki and sundae — a spicy, filling combo of rice cakes and Korean sausage.
- Tornado potato and egg bread — popular snack-on-the-go options.
- Grilled seafood skewers — the oversized ingredients catch your eye.
Prices run a bit higher than average. Check the price board before you order, and expect a line at the more popular stalls.
Practical tips
Eating on the move
Many stalls don't have seating, so you'll eat standing or walking. Toss your trash in the stall's own bin.
Cash is the easiest way to pay at most stalls, though more are accepting cards or mobile payment. Myeongdong Station on Line 4 is right nearby.
