Why here
A self-service tteokbokki counter tucked in a Munjeong-dong back alley, serving a sweet, broth-heavy gukmul-style tteokbokki alongside sundae and fried mandu — grab a tray and order at the counter. It draws a steady weekend opening-time queue despite prices that have stayed near street-food lows. Featured on Kim Three Meals (김사원세끼).
