CHEAP Korean Street Food LUNCH 😍 Tongin Market Food Tour in Seoul, South Korea

KOREAN STREET FOOD at a small traditional market in Seoul, South Korea! Visit Tongin Market 통인시장 for the Dosirak Cafe and try delicious traditional Korean street food in a lunchbox!
Follow on instagram: / cupoftj
One of the best places to eat in Seoul for travelers who want to experience eating traditional Korean street food at a Korean market! I have to admit this place is quite touristy now but it was SO MUCH FUN. I've never had a street food market experience like this.
It is a small alley market. Once you walk in you will notice a door opening to a Dosirak Cafe. That is where you can exchange cash for the coins to get street food. You then walk around and fill up your dosirak - Korean lunch box. It is such a fun thing to do in Seoul! I think it was less overwhelming than some of the bigger street food markets like Namdaemun Market. Highly recommend if you're in the area. I saw a lot of kids enjoying the lunchbox experience so if you're traveling with children this will be a good sight to visit on your Seoul trip!
Tongin Market
Address: 18 Jahamun-ro 15-gil, Tongin-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea
Price: Each box is 5,000 won about $4.19 USD. I got two boxes, total was around $8! I found it cheap for the experience. Food quality varies so you might want to arrive early just to get fresher batches.

    I like how the owner of each restaruant doesn't take the coins into their hand and instead they kindly just ask you to place it into a nearby jar. Very clean!
