What to eat
Mul-makguksu — buckwheat noodles in dongchimi brine selected
Nearby
Olympic Gymnasium, Hanyang University
The indoor hall on Hanyang University's Seoul campus, an Olympic venue in 1988 that stayed a university building afterwards. Its name is close enough to the arena in Olympic Park to be confused with it regularly.
Majang Meat Market
An alley market dealing only in meat — 781 butchers and offal shops filling the lanes of Majang-dong. Wholesale and retail sit side by side across its 26,313 square metres, and buying meat to carry into a nearby room to grill is the usual way of eating here.
Gyeongdong Market
It closes at 18:00 and most stores shut on Sundays, so it is a morning stop, not an evening one — the opposite of the food-alley markets.
Hongneung Galbijip
A grilled rib house in the Hongneung quarter, its marinated beef ribs seasoned with some twenty ingredients.
