Myeongdong District – Street food Paradise

Korea is known for its delicious street food and Myeongdong (명동) is a must visit if you love street food. Here you can find most of the Korean street food in 1 street. The district is located close to the heart of Seoul, where most of the main touristic attractions are. I would recommend coming here in the evening time if you are around the area.

My favourites!

Flamed scallop with cheese

Chicken wing stuffed with rice

I believe the best is just walk around and find what looks better for you. My philosophy is that a picture tells more than 1000 words, so check the pictures! 😉

The bad point is that it has become very touristy. The food is more expensive than what you usually pay in Seoul. Also, on weekends it can be very packed.

If you feel tired and you prefer to eat in a restaurant, I wrote another post about an amazing restaurant in Myeongdong district. Check it out here.

How to get there

Myeongdong subway station exit 6. When you get out the station, you will see the busy street with the food stalls just in front of you.
