Gwangjang Market Night Food Street

The evening transformation of Seoul's oldest market into a blazing corridor of raw beef yukhoe, bindaetteok mung bean pancakes, and mayak gimbap stalls is the definitive Korean night market experience. The market's communal tables and the vendors' multi-decade tenure at the same spots create an atmosphere of living culinary heritage. With over 60% of vendors operating for more than 30 years, Gwangjang offers a richer sense of history than any other night market in Seoul, attracting 40% more visitors than its nearest rival.
