A huge and lively market with an incredible variety of food, from freshly prepared street food to packaged snacks, as well as plenty of clothing and other shopping stalls. The atmosphere is vibrant, and it’s a fun place to wander around. The food looked amazing, but unfortunately, many of the dishes contained pork, lard, or were cooked in pork fat. As Muslim travelers, it was a bit challenging to find something we could eat. That said, with a little searching, we still managed to find a few things to try and enjoyed our visit. Overall, it’s a great market with a fantastic atmosphere, and I’d still recommend visiting, especially if you enjoy exploring local markets and trying different foods

Fun experience, highly recommend. Any spot with seafood pancakes is great. We had a pancake, rice and seaweed rolls(yum!!!) and rice dish Tteokbokki. All was great, $20 can and was a decent quick lunch for 4. Would have liked to try more traditional things but in +37 and heat warning it was all we could handle.

Ladies, put this market on your list. If you travel with kids, there are loads of things to see, eat, and shop for. There’s Squid Game sugar candy game – definitely worth giving it a try.

Big market that has a mix of fresh produce, snacks, local goods and food. Clean toilets are available. The food stalls mostly sell the same few types of popular food like korean pancakes. So just choose if you want to sit in a proper restaurant or 1 of the stalls in the middle. There are a few popular modern offerings like ILHO coffee and Perment Bake Shop. Level 2 above the market also has a retro styled Olive Young that is very different from other outlets.
