Korean Street Food

Myeongdong street food is a row of licensed carts, not a market, so what matters is where they stand, when they trade and what to order. Start with the street: which exit to take, how Jung-gu Office's alternate-day rota reshuffles the lineup and whether a cart will take your card. Then go deep on one dish, tteokbokki, whose five main styles run from Sindang-dong's fiery gochujang original to the soy-based gungjung that came before it.
