A must go. This is one of the top night markets in the city. Most of it is also open during the day. But it feels like it really comes alive at night time. In general, the area is fantastic for shopping. There are lots of street food vendors, but you do start to see the food getting repetitive. It is a very fun way to spend an evening. Don't miss it.

Good to be back after years! Still same busy street but somehow felt different and less crowded compared to years ago. Bought some skin care product here at very good price and with direct tax refund (deducted from total payment amount) ~ which is super convinient!

Great place for street food but is a little pricey. The atmosphere was spectacular. It's a place, not to be missed from the South Korea trip. 🫰🏻

This is a night food market street in Seoul. Popular street food amongst locals and tourists. Everyday at 5 PM this market street comes live. Crowded at all times. There are many food stalls of same kinds. Prices may vary of the dishes sold based how close the food stall to the entrance or exist points of the food street. Only cash is accepted as the form of payment at these food stalls. Great place to enjoy Korean street foods.

Yes, it’s touristic but that should not stop you from visiting this area. It’s full of so much life during the day and evening. 🇰🇷👍🏽❤️

There’s tons of clothing and souvenir stores and when the sun sets, the night market comes alive with all sorts of delicious street food to try. It does get insanely busy but I love the atmosphere here.

Food prices are more expensive than some other more traditional markets but if you want to eat to your hearts content, go here. There’s everything from Korean fried chicken, garlic shrimp, 10 Korean won cheese bread, egg bread, smores ice cream, Korean hotdogs and the list goes on!

If you’re in Seoul you should definitely make some time to go here 👍🏽👍🏽

Best to walk around this vibrant street at night, lots of street food, people say it’s overpriced but this is a tourist hotspot so it’s normal to expect higher price. Great to shop for clothes, Accesories and skin care. Very crowded at night for sure

best for street food and shopping. expect higher price though because it's a tourist area. all kinds of street food available here in one street😝. around got many big stores too, but better go early so you can leisurely shopping than get your stomach ready after noon since the street market will start soon 😊

Snowing all of sudden. We enjoy the street for a bit but it’s way too cold for some of us. Stroll around, look around and see everything they have to offer. Take your time if you want to shop, you dont want to be ripped off by some of the shop. So do your survey and find good deal. Good luck!
