About Gwangjang Market
The griddle makes the introductions before the menu does: pancakes turn golden in Gwangjang's food aisles, and deciding on lunch may call for a reconnaissance lap. Look for bindaetteok, made with mung beans, and the small gimbap rolls; sharing portions helps you taste more without turning the afternoon into a request for a nap.
The market also sells fabrics and traditional clothing. Look beyond the most photographed stalls and double-check portion sizes: a camera pointed at the food is no substitute for an order properly understood.
