Mangwon Market

Simply loved this market as it has almost all the street food that I would like to try. In addition, it sells other items like fruits and household items and blankets which were all so reasonably priced. Do visit if you are in the area.

This place has got tons of foods. You can pick your favourite. Price is very decent and not stingy with portion. Very enjoyable to walk around. I am sure anyone come here will be amazed. Note: this place is very crowded with people. Person with crowds anxiety probably should pick off peak times, maybe weekdays or after lunch. Other than that, go and enjoy!

This authentic Korean market is where locals come for their daily shopping. It's full of fresh ingredients: vibrant vegetables, quality meats, homemade kimchi, and fresh seafood. For dining, skip the sit-down restaurants (there are few) and head straight for the fantastic street food stalls. After exploring the market, be sure to wander the surrounding streets, which are lined with plenty of other interesting shops.

Me and my friend loved this market, in fact it was one of our favourites in all of Seoul! For one, it was a fair bit cheaper than other markets such as Gwangjang! There was many different stalls, selling quite a large variety of snacks and food. It’s all one street so it’s not as extensive as other markets but it still makes for a good outing and there are other places and shops around the entrance by Mangwon metro station. Highly recommend!

Nice spot if you are interested in local people’s daily routine. This market has good mix of local people and tourist, so the price is more reasonable. The price between different vendors are quite similar. Would be ideal to visit for a brunch to make sure you have enough room for stomach.

Mangwon Market has a string of stores that commonly sells fish cakes, chicken, tteobokki, and gimbap. One of the unique items sold was fried green pepper which is actually stuffed green chili fried in tempura(?) batter. It is not spicy and comes with sauces. You can also get fruits and chinese buns (baos) before reaching the market. Overall, it is a good visit and some of the items are relatively cheaper than other touristy-visited markets.

Best alternative place if you do not want the crowded and touristy namdaemun market. just see the pictures. chrck youtube vids from others to learn more. visit my tiktok page: Elguapomoto.
