Radish-strip tteokbokki at Gwangjang Market

Self-paid. The blogger paid for this visit.

A tteokbokki stand inside Gwangjang Market that tops its rice cakes with a mountain of sweet, crunchy radish strips. A plate with fried snacks is ₩6,000, and there is a standing counter to eat right away.

Is it for you?

Go forThe sauce is built on radish, so it tastes clean, sweet, and spicy rather than thick and heavy. The radish strips are crunchy with no bitter bite, and they release juice as you eat, so it turns into a soupy tteokbokki by the end. The shrimp dumpling twigim is crispy with whole shrimp inside.
Skip ifYou want a sit-down meal. There is only a standing counter, and no outside food except drinks is allowed. Closes at 17:00.
